Membership renewal and question time

Posted on December 29, 2011 by Alec'n'Val

Members should be receiving their renewal request soon, plus a short survey form to return asap.

Having achieved great things considering we are a small group in a small town, we need to decide on the direction of the campaign for 2012. What are you interested in? How could you help achieve this? Fill in the form, email us with any ideas that come to you later, and perhaps come along to a meeting or two.

December mtg – planning the future of Congleton Cycling Campaign

Posted on December 5, 2011 by Alec'n'Val

Our next evening meeting is to discuss the future direction of the Congleton Cycling Campaign. Please come along on Wednesday 14th December at 20.00 in the Beartown Tap, 18 Willow St, Congleton, CW12 1RL (either in the back bar or the upstairs meeting room).

As we are currently without a Chairman, a suggestion has been made that the group affiliates itself with the Congleton Sustainability Group and that we become one if its ‘interest’ groups.

What do you think?

Congleton Cycling Campaign helps Buglawton Beavers

Posted on October 8, 2011 by Alec'n'Val

Yesterday (7th Oct), two of our members helped the Congleton Beaver Scout group in Buglawton with all things cycling. The enthusiastic participation made this really worthwhile.

The session included fitting their helmets correctly, making sure their wheels were spinning freely, and teaching them braking techniques to avoid flying over the handlebars. This and other activities will help the Beavers gain a badge (just not sure which one!).

1st Oct social ride report

Posted on October 1, 2011 by Alec'n'Val

The Farmers’ Market was buzzing as ever. Lots of goodwill, good music and good food in the sunshine. Seven of us (including children) met up at the corner to cycle the lanes to Rode Hall. We were well fuelled for the return ride with ice cream, burgers, white fudge, tea and juice (not everyone had all of this, honest). Bags filled with organic veg, puddings, samosas and homity pies. A couple of us lingered in the Horseshoe pub garden for lunch and liquid. Marvellous. If you missed today’s ride, make a date in your diary for next month’s (5th November, easy to remember) but you might need slightly warmer clothes by then.
