Traditionally, our Christmas Lunch is held at the Copy Nook, Bolton by Bowland, and this year was no exception.

Several riders met at Langroyd for a short ride to the Copy Nook, riding back after the meal, whilst others met at the Copy nook, for a shorter, circular ride thtough Waddington. Both groups enjoyed a bright sunny December morning, which was a nice change after the recent wet weather.

It's also traditional for some (read that as one!) of our members to turn up in fancy dress.

We then met in the bar at around 12:00 relaxing whilst other guests arrived, bringing the total to around 40 members.

We also use this annual event to present the Bill Heywood Trophy, which this year, by unanimous agreement was presented to David Wilkinson in recognition of all his work for the group over the years. The title photo shows it being presented to David by last years winner, Jim Duerden.
