There was a good turn out for the meeting and it was great to see Richard back after an absence of over two years. Another Richard, a visitor who had contacted us, brought along his early-nineties Codex bike which he wants to sell. It aroused a lot of interest amongst our members.
Apologies were received from Fred, Denise, Steve H, Phil C, Paul and Dave G
Amanda chaired the meeting.
Past Events:
The Mallorca trip went very well, with six Wheelers cycling at least 200 miles over six days.
The Bude trip was also a great success. We’re hoping to hear more about it soon.
The club sent chocolates and a card to Caroline, who came off her bike and broke her arm.
Future Events:
June 11th: Our stand for Bike Week will be on the Moor in Falmouth from 9am – 3pm. There’ll be lots going on, with bike workshops and a chance to talk to new cyclists who might want to join us. Dean has organised everything, so come along and support the club – wearing your FW’s shirt!

Richard has offered to set a quiz for one of our winter meetings – maybe November. He also made a request that our club kit should include cloth caps to go under a helmet. He is planning to do an 80 mile charity ride to celebrate his 80th birthday – we’ll all support him!
With no more business, the meeting closed at 8.25pm.
