B Group Christmas lunch - Special Edition
27 riders gathered for coffee and mince pies at the Royal British Legion Cobham for our ride out to Christmas lunch. Tim gave our thanks and presented chocolates to the lovely volunteers, David and Noreen, who always make us so welcome.
Three groups set off from Cobham on an appetite encouraging jaunt around the back roads of Stoke d’Abernon, Oxshott, Esher, Ember Court, Hurst Park, East Molesey and Thames Ditton! It was cold!
The second and third groups played a close match and pretty much turned up together at The Angel to find the first group nicely settled in their seats, forks at the ready!
Only one group photo of the ride by Mick, as we were too busy trying to keep warm. But plenty of the excellent Christmas lunch and festivities that followed.
Mick says, ‘The 10:40 group nearly mutinied as Mick tried to spin out the ride to Christmas lunch. This included stopping for a photo at the Hampton lock and the spinning of the ‘The lock, The barge, The firemen and Chris Hyde’ tale.’
Thanks to Christina for all the organising, with the assistance of Paula (spreadsheet whizz), Pam (compère extraordinaire), Ian (quiz master) and our Father Christmas (the real one). Thanks to the ride sub-leaders, Sue and Mick and to everyone who turned up for the ride and/or lunch who make this such a special day in the Wayfarer’s calendar.”
