Earlier this month we had our Spokes Christmas meal, which is open to all members. Unfortunately we had several last minute cancellations, so they were missed along with all those not able to attend for other reasons. The Hare and Hounds Newbury was the venue for the event, and it was a great evening, although my wife (non-cyclist) hinted she may not come along next year… although I am sure we did talk about more than cycling!

I enjoyed my menu choices, although we did feel for Rob, whose vegetarian portions for the main meal and (cheese) dessert seemed a little mean. We had a little “fun” paying the bill at the end… the process in the Newbury last year seemed a lot smoother. Glad, this year, I remembered to get a photo of the group.

Merry Christmas to you all, safe cycling, and hope to see you in 2025.
