Plaque to a Cyclist

Pams B group ride came back via Gracious Pond road and past Fishpool car park on Chobham common. For years there has been a plaque to a cyclist nailed high up in a tree at this spot. A few weeks ago it had fallen down and today was missing altogether. Vic has contacted Clarence Wheelers, the dead cyclists old club and they are going to replace it.

The Plaque reads:

The Ashes of Alf Whitewey were scattered here on Sunday the 5th December 1993 by members of Clarence Wheelers cycling club and their friends.

Tony.. p.s, a great ride today and great weather.

Please do. I remember Alf and his mum's back garden in Hampton. It was just a network of old sheds, each filled with bikes or bits of bikes. Also, Whitsun Camps of Clarence Wheelers wher he spent his time cooking for us all, over an open fire.
