Dear All Just a reminder that Lewisham Cyclists AGM is happening next Wednesday at Lewisham Town Hall, (Room 3), Catford from 6.30 p.m. We will adjourn to the pub afterwards, probably The Jolly Farmers http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/24/2487/Jolly_Farmers_ex_jordan_/Lewisham .

Ah the trials of ride leadership 🙂 Hence its somewhat… Read More »Chidingley – Summer 2009
