North Birmingham – February Newsletter
A lovely night was had at “The Eastern” at Wylde Green on Monday 29th JAN where we had a Buffet Style meal that just seemed to keep on coming! Thanks
to Ros and Julie for organising. There are other socials being organised so watch this space.
Rides
The Rides list can be found at
northbirminghamcuk.simplesite.com/437293283
There is an off road ride organised on the second Saturday each month starting at the same start point as the normal Saturday Ride.
Bikes should be capable of riding on roads, Bridleways and the odd Tow Path.
Distances will be around 25 Miles or shorter depending upon the conditions.
This month's ride will be on 10th from Boldmere Gate at 9:45
Club Jumble
Our annual Cycle Jumble is taking place on Saturday 3rd March 10am to 1pm at Erdington Methodist Church Hall (opposite Erdington Rail Station, SatNav
B23 6TY). Stalls are still available and we need donations of jumble and volunteers.
Last year we raised over £700 for club funds and bought the tea urn that has helped generate more funds for the club. Here is how you can join in:
Turn your unwanted stuff into cash for more stuff. Contact me, Alison Readman, on
07742 855125 or amreadman@gmail.com for a booking form. The cost is £10 for the first table and £8 for subsequent tables.
Donate any bikes, clothing, parts, books, maps, magazines, tools etc etc that you don’t need and we will sell it on the club table. In the past two
years we have had four bikes donated and raised over £450 for the club so we welcome all donations.
Contact me to arrange delivery/collection of jumble on 07742855125 or amreadman@gmail.com or bring your jumble to the club night on Tuesday 20 February
(the Cooper Room, Shenstone, opposite the war memorial in the centre of the village – 8 to 9.30pm). Bring your jumble and we will sell it on the club
table at the jumble on 3rd March.
We need to set the hall up the night before. We do have some regular volunteers and more are always welcome. It doesn’t take long and doesn’t impede
on riding time. Meet at the Erdington Methodist Church Hall at 9.15pm.
Make cakes or help with the catering on the day if you can help
Contact Julie Snook (07977 142236)
.
Volunteer on the day. We need volunteers to man the door, sell things on the club table, distribute teas and coffees to the traders, clear the hall
after the jumble and deliver jumble back to the club house. You will get free entry to the jumble.
Attend the jumble. Entry is £1 from 10am onwards. A great opportunity to have a sociable Saturday morning and grab a bargain.
Please spread the word among your cycling mates and encourage those who aren’t in the club to come along. Everyone has a great time eating cake and
rummaging for bargains. See you there.
If you can donate jumble or help in any way before or the day, please contact me, Alison
Readman on 01543 419722 or 07742 855125 or amreadman@gmail.com
Thank you! Alison
