VMCC SC Challenge Reason to take a ride

This year no challenge but a selection of places to visit in or near Gloucestershire.

Some are well known (e.g.Berkeley Castle ), others rarely mentioned (e.g. Seven Wells at Bisley).

Enjoy the countryside you go through to visit these locations.

Maps on pages 2, 3 & 4 show the locations the remaining pages give the locations in Latitude & Longitude and OS Grid position. The locations are shown on a local map with picture(s) of the site and outline notes about the location and internet links to further information.

Enjoy!

Founders Relay Rally 2024

 A wet morning and dull afternoon but we still had 15 visitors including riders from Bournemouth  and Somerset sections with the remainder being from local sections.

Thank you to all who attended and to the George Inn Cambridge (Glos) for allowing us to use their facilities.

At the VMCC South Cotswold Section’s 6th February Club night, we were pleased to welcome Steve Allen, son of VMCC Founder Titch Allen.  Steve presented certificates and engraved glasses to our chairman Dave Carroll and to Chris Roberts, to mark their 50 years of VMCC membership. After this, Steve gave an illustrated talk on the full and colourful life of his father.  Accompanied by generous amounts of chips and sandwiches, a most enjoyable evening was had by the 28 or so attendees.  Our thanks to Steve for making the time to some and see us, and for the work he does for the Club

David Clarke death 

Dave Clarke, sadly passed away on the morning of Friday 28 October at the ripe old age of 81.  As I'm sure you know, he had to contend with many heath issues over recent years but always managed to battle on cheerfully. He will be missed.

The Funeral on Thursday 24th November at Gloucester Crematorium was attended by many including section members. Two members followed the Cortège on their bikes from the family home in Nastend, Stonehouse'
