Meeting and Social – 9th Jan
We are planning a meeting and late Christmas get together with a meal at the Fighting Cocks in Stottesdon on Wednesday 9th Jan at 7:00pm. Let Chris or Yvonne know ASAP if you would like to come along.
Quiz and Curry Night – another success
A great night was had by all at our fund-raising Quiz and Curry Night. We had 13 teams and managed to raise over £400. This money will allow us to take on some urgent drainage improvement jobs over the next few months (all the money raised goes directly on materials and equipment hire).
Many thanks to all involved and to everyone who bought tickets and raffle tickets. Your support is much appreciated.
A special thanks to our sponsors (County Treks and Clare), to Jo for the catering and making the very yummy curries and to all who helped with question rounds and running the evening (including Pete, Clare, Chris, Jo, Yvonne, Olwen, John).
Facebook Page
We now have a Facebook page. Many thanks to Tanya for putting this together.
This has already proved a great way to get more people to know about the Clee View Bridleways Group and to promote our Quiz/Curry Night fund raising event on 9th Nov. We have had new people from both within the area and nearby get in-touch All are welcome to come and help us by attending events, helping at work parties, providing sponsorship/donations or attending our meetings. We look to meeting with our new supports soon.

Fun Ride Success Despite The Weather
The forecast for the fun ride day was not good but the ground conditions were OK on the route and in the start field so we decided to go ahead. The rain did put people off coming out on a fun ride but we still managed to raise over £200 profit. All the riders who came had a great time and were very complementary about the route and organisation in general and we hope to do similar again next year (hopefully with better weather next time).
