Cycle ride - Monday 8th October 2018

8 of us cycled (by the back roads) from the club to Alresford for a lovely lunch at The Globe - then back by a different route.
We were: John & Jan, John & Sue, Hilary, Keith, Angela and Ken.
Only 5 of us were willing to pose for the camera!  
The appearance of water in the background is just a coincidence!

Introducing our photography project!

A few simple rules:

• 1 photo from each of you every month – with the location, if appropriate
• Take the photo during that month – no looking back through the archives!
• Deadline is the end of each month
• No editing of the photo – just send the original image 
• Photos will be posted at the beginning of the following month and the new topic revealed

The topic for October is:

Water

Update on the cycle ride on Monday 8th October

There are now 8 of us for Monday's cycle ride.

The plan is for John & Sue Hubbard (on her new electric bike!), Hilary, Keith C  and myself to meet at the sports centre ramps at 11am.  

We will then meet/collect John & Jan Hayman + Angela by the car park at the top of the forest track in Four Marks about 11:40.  Lunch is booked at The Globe – from about 12:40 in their little room, or outside if it is warm & sunny.

I think we might come back by roads this time but we can finalise that on the day.
