Our annual Reunion Party is once again to take place at the new Function Suite at Newtown House Hotel on Friday 6th November at 8pm, preceded by our AGM at 7pm. We expect to have a large number of riders and support crew at the Party, but perhaps fewer at the AGM! Tickets are £10, to ‘Paris to Hayling’ and include a hot buffet and entertainment – all welcome!
PRE-REUNION RIDER GET-TOGETHER
As part of the process of eventually allowing others to take over the organization and management of the Paris to Hayling event, after next year’s historic 25th year, we are inviting riders to come along to the Newtown on Saturday 24th October, so that we can explain what is involved and to invite participation in what will effectively be a ‘shadow committee’ for the next year. We hope that there will be some enthusiastic and capable volunteers!
FEEDBACK QUESTIONNAIRE
We are compiling the feedback from riders via a questionnaire, which are overwhelmingly positive and will publish the results next month. It was as a result of this that we were able to decide that next year’s ride will return to the Loire Valley, as in the last two years, rather than to Paris, which had symbolic and sentimental attractions, since the majority were in favour of our new route.
25th RIDE 2010 – ‘LE TOUR D’ARGENT’ (THE SILVER RIDE)
We have been overwhelmed by interest in participation in next year’s historic ride – the last of the modern era, but not the last ride! We now have over 150 paid reservations for places - absolutely unprecedented nine months in advance, as we don’t normally receive any before November. So if you want to avoid disappointment, it is best to download a reservation form from the website and send it in with the £100 reservation fee. It looks like we shall have to be managing reserve lists again, quite soon!
