Following the great success of this weekend a couple of years ago Steve is running it again this year. The exciting social weekend with Steve Dell incorporates two classic days out. On the Saturday we have a day at Ascot Races followed by a live concert with music form the 80s and 90s and on the Sunday a touristy day in Windsor. We stay at a wonderful hotel just opposite Windsor Castle as well! We will eat out in Windsor on the Friday evening then explore some of the many pubs in the historic town. On Saturday we will have a day at Ascot races. Some see these meetings as better than Royal Ascot. The race meeting is The Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup. This is Britain’s only Jockeys’ competition where teams of riders from all over the world compete over six races for the coveted trophy. The day is easy for everyone to follow and on this unique occasion you will have a chance to see the jockeys before the races in the Parade Ring. We will have the option of bringing a picnic, which we can organise as a group and all eat together, making it part of the day out, which worked great last time. There is an option to have a meal in the restaurant. After the racing we will make our way to the Old Paddock for the live concert. Details of the artists will be announced shortly and be updated here. On Sunday you have the choice of discovering the historic town of Windsor. You will have the option of booking visits to Windsor Castle and Eton College, or you could explore the town at your leisure. You could even have a wonder in the lovely Windsor parks.

Cycle Camping in the Peak District .. a simple weekend of sociable cycling
Saturday 13 - Sunday 14th July 2013 Meet in Wetton Village, Derbyshire # Friday evening £49 (£55 Guest) Includes: Instruction and guiding throughout Meals & campsite fees. Bring your own tent/ camping kit (but you don't need to carry this while cycling as we pitch first). Helmets must be worn Host: Mark Fenton Join us for two days of cycling in the picturesque Peak District on tracks and tarmac with the irrepressible Mark Fenton! This is cycle camping, but as we pitch camp on arrival, we don’t need to carry any kit with us on our bikes. We meet on Saturday morning at the selected campsite (location to be finalised). After pitching our tents we set off on a 25 mile ride through the Derbyshire Dales at a leisurely pace. The Saturday evening meal will be taken at the local pub. Sunday after breakfast, we go for a shorter ride of approximately 15 miles again through the stunning Peak District returning back to the campsite to pack our gear at approximately 2pm. So there it is: 2 days glorious cycling, a night in the pub and the company of Mark Fenton and his team – what more could you wish for this Summer! Important: All persons need to be self-sufficient (tent etc), camp fees and meals are not included. However, all costs will be kept to the minimum. You do not need a mountain bike for this event. Hybrids and similar are fine so long as you have treaded tyres as some of the tracks are not paved.

th
What’s is a “Guest”?
Some events have a separate price that applies if you want to bring a “guest” along to an event. The “guest” option is there for members to use to introduce new people to the group and for friends/ family for whom membership is not practical (eg visiting from another area). The Guest arrangements are offered at our discretion and cannot be used to avoid membership (eg by lapsed members). A “guest” must come along to the event with you (unless specifically agreed otherwise) and you are responsible for their good conduct. A “Guest” may accompany you at up to 3 events – after which we consider it fair to expect them to join themselves. 98
