CLUB DINNER - 8TH FEBRUARY
After a sunny but cool morning which allowed the CTC club run to take place in fine weather, 61 members and friends of both clubs sat down an enjoyable lunch at the Holiday Inn, Ipswich.
East London cyclist, promoter, reporter and freelance journalist Roger St Pierre entertained us with an amusing speech to which Paul Fenton replied in an equally able manner before Roger presented awards to the prizewinners of both clubs.
Thanks to Club members who worked to make the event such a success, particularly Ken, Maureen and Colin K.

CC SUDBURY RELIABILITY TRIALS - 25TH JANUARY
Barry Lee was the lone Club member who rode on a day of continuous rain which reduced last year's field of nearly 100 to a total of 28 riding the two distances.
Barry was one of a bunch of 11 who rode the 47 mile version on the Semer, Stowmarket, Lavenham circuit for a well earned cup of tea.

IPSWICH B C RELIABILITY TRIALS - 22ND FEBRUARY
Only two members tackled the event this year on a dull but fine day with a cool nagging north west wind on an anticlockwise circuit from Playford, visiting Hollesley, Saxmundham and Framlingham.
Jim Stow rode the 100km event, with Roger Selmes electing for the 70km version but compensating by riding from Trimley and back.
COLCHESTER ROVERS CC CYCLO SPORTIVE - 1ST MARCH
John Parkes and Roger collected bronze standard certificates for their ride in the 50 mile event starting from Bromley.
A total of 78 riders enjoyed a fine day with little wind and rode a circuit taking in Ardleigh, Manningtree, Dovercourt and Walton.
