 Our
first summer youth hostel weekend for 2008 is to Street hostel, a wooden
chalet situated on the Somerset levels. It was the most popular hostel
on the 2007 Easter tour so we just had to organise a weekend trip to it this
year. There are limited spaces for this weekend, so it's
really important to book early if you want to be sure of your place. |

ARE FOR JUNIOR CYCLISTS AGED 10-17 ONLY.
Parents are always welcome if accompanying their own children. Any
other adults who would like to offer their assistance with supervision
should contact the Section Secretary to see if there is a vacancy. Most cyclists who have ridden regularly with the
club as juniors will be accepted on rides as assistants, but they should ring
Michael to check before attending a ride or social. Effective since
15 September 2003.
All juniors require a completed
parental consent form in order to take part in Section activities.
If you have Microsoft Word you can download the form
here for printing, otherwise please ask
Michael for a pre-printed copy. You must normally have attended a club
cycle ride within the previous six weeks to be eligible to come on a social
activity, although potential new members are allowed to attend two socials
before their first ride.
All socials meet at Crofters, Ryders Bank, Buckfastleigh at the times
stated.
