Boxing day ride from Marina Cycles

Just a relatively chilled out social ride round an XC/gravel loop to work off the hangover and cabin fever from Christmas day. Start and finish at Marina Cycles, Kirkintilloch.

Back for 12. Tea, coffee and biscuits (maybe, who knows, even a mince pie) and temperature permitting, a hose, will be available at the shop after.

This could either be a lovely frosty ride or a total bogfest misery slog, but either way the company will be great (as long as you come along!)

25th Anniversary Weekender- Whose Coming?

Hi All,

Based on the levels of interest expressed for the 25th Anniversary Weekender in August (17th-19th), the committee has booked the hostel. Now we need to fill!!  As you know, we need to atleast 20 people to commit to staying both nights, at a cost of approx. £20ppn. This will be dependant on the numbers and who commits.

Graham has created a fancy Google form for you to fill in. This will help us to not only work out number of beds required, but also asks for your ideas of activities you’d like to offered over the weekend.

If you wish to bring family, partners or children you will need to fill one out for each person in your group, but we can work out that you are together! The hostel does have some family rooms, which will be allocated on first come first term basic to those requiring them.

Due to the rapidly approaching date, we need everyone who wishes to come to fill the form in by Friday 13th July, to give us time to work out the payment details etc.

Let’s all make this a great 25th Anniversary- we should all have our tops by then! ;-))

GMBC Christmas Night Out – Sat. 10th Dec

Hi Folks,

Are you upset that the long summer days have gone? Are you sad that you’re noticing the warm horizontal rain has been replaced cold horizontal rain? Well, that must mean we’re now into Scotland’s 2nd season – Winter. (The other one being “June”). But cheer up! Winter means frozen trails, cold crisp nights and no excuses needed for all you can eat mince pies and mulled wine!

To keep your spirits lifted even higher why not look forward to the GMBC Christmas Night Out? Here’s the details:

  • When: Saturday, 10th December. Time TBC, probably 7pm-ish
  • Where: West Restaurant & Bar, just off Glasgow Green
  • How Much: £24.95 per person for 3 course meal (drinks not included but there’s plenty of great beers to wash it down with at West). West Christmas Dinner Menu.

What Next?

If you’re interested then get your name to me ASAP – by the end of this week so I can get a table reserved. I will require a £10 deposit from you, to be paid immediately and the balance will be required in early December at the latest. Methods of payment: cash or speak to me and we can arrange a bank transfer.

Small print: in confirming your attendance, you agree to pay the requested deposit immediately. In the event of you not being able to attend then you accept you will forfeit your deposit unless another club member can be found to take your place.
