Greetings Wayfarers and friends
Thanks for another super Christmas meal at The Bell, Lynda. We hope management balanced the books, as everyone seems to have paid. Great night out!
Thank you everyone who sent me greetings cards and messages - all very much appreciated and of course reciprocated. I am also revelling and reciprocating in all the kissing. May it continue into 2006, especially if the girls start getting involved.
2006 subs will be collected at Cobham 04Jan06 Your £5 note secures SWLDA membership (back to £1), Wayfarers membership (a snip at £2) and deposit (£2) on our 01Mar06 annual lunch at Foley Arms Claygate (first 50 members only). New paid-up membership lists will be issued 01Feb06 at Cobham - you should let me know if you wish for any of your information to be withheld.
Hiya Brian, thanks again for mailing the ride reports, I always look forward to reading them. You say you did a short run (last week), my computer told me I had done 64miles, I know - if I must live in Egham!!! Both Irene and I had appointments Wednesday eve, so we had to return without a tea stop!! I was indoors at 4.30. It was good of Graham to lead our group home - thanks. Cheers Brian, look forward to next week. Pam (nearly as far this week from Egham - don't overdo it, Pam)
Brian, I would like to wish all DA members and particularly my old friends in the Wayfarers a very happy Christmas and good riding in the New Year. Ledbury section meets on alternate Tuesdays - usually about six riders, with an unofficial ride on the other Tuesday, same routine - coffee, pub lunch and normally home for tea. Main roads are quiet by Surrey standards and minor roads are almost traffic-free, the only punctures are from thorns in the hedge-cutting season. Any Wayfarers out this way please come and see us and perhaps spend the night, best to ring first to check where we are and that we will be in (01531 637372). Hope to be at the Barn Dance. Best wishes ............. Steve Bott.
A card to us all from over the pond wishes the "Lads and Lasses" of the Wayfarers, Happy Cycling for 2006 with best wishes from Bob and Linda Lees.
Brian, Thanks for updates. Sorry I could not make the pre Xmas runs. I have been in Sweden seeing my old work mates, parties, sauna, tall blond blue eyed girls etc. etc. Tuesday morning woke to 15cm snow and minus 16 deg C. Too cold 4 making Angels in the snow. Got back at 3am today (wed.) so had a late start. Too late 2 go 2 Cobham (just as well - we were at Walton). Have a good Christmas and merry New Year to all. Mike Morley (alias Emajay )

Eleven of us 'C' group, led by Harold set off in pretty good weather from Walton, over Walton bridge to Shepperton where we turned right down Manygate Lane. Besides me'n'im there were John, Dave, Bill, Lynda, Mike and Mary also newcomer Stephanie. I'm sure the names of the other two will come to me although one peeled off early on. Our lunch destination was The Duke of Clarence pub at Hampton. Food was first rate and the beer was up to standard. On arrival at Bushey Park we were joined by Derek who appeared as if by magic. Then we set off for a tour of the park which included a short spot of mud, otherwise a good surface. We emerged at the gate opposite the palace and over the bridge for tea at a cafe either called Hampton Court Cafe or Five at the Bridge depending which piece of crockery you drank from! We were down to four by now, me, Bill, Lynda and Dave. I left them for a flog down to Walton, Weybridge and home making it just about lighting-up time. Many thanks to Harold for a very good ride. Albert
Have a good Christmas, one and all and we hope to see a big turn-out at Richmond Park or Garson's Farm, off West End Lane, Esher next Wednesday or soon after (joke intended!)
