Hello everyone
The focus of this Newsletter is our AGM coming up on the evening of Wednesday 10th May. Please note the following details:
The 2023 Cycling UK Wantage AGM will be held as follows:
Logistics:
Date – Wednesday 10th May 2023
Time – 19.00 for food, 19:45 for business
Location – Grove Rugby Club, Wasborough Field Recreation Ground, Cane Lane, Grove, OX12 0FL
Note that for those not familiar with the location the car park is off Cane Lane and if driving you have to approach from the west (off Denchworth Road/Recreation Lane or Brereton Drive). Walking or cycling you can cut through Cane Lane from Main Street. The postcode is accurate and sat nav should manage to get you there! There is plenty of parking. The car park is quite dark and the entrance to the Rugby Club is from the edge of the playing fields (you will see the rear of the building from the car park).
Food details:
The Rugby Club has a good bar and we are bringing in the food courtesy of Millbrook Fish and Chips in Grove. Menu choices are given below, please let me know your choices by SUNDAY 7th MAY so we can pre-order with the shop. Exact money (cash) on the night please.
