New word - 'Testiculation'
Meaning  - Waving our arms around and talking 'bollocks'!

Thought to have been created to describe a motorist explaining to cyclists why they
shouldn't be using the road !

                                                           Please arrive at 18.30 for 19.00 start.
    The Buffet is supplied by the same caterers as last year and will be served at 19.30 - choice of food is
    similar to last year.
    The cost is Adults £13.00 Children (under 16) £6.50   - Tickets are available now from John Williams...

    I would be grateful, if people would request tickets as soon as possible... this enables us to cater for the number of people attending.
    Again we will hold a raffle to raise funds for the club. Once again we are requesting donations of appropiate prizes. I would request that
    you contact me at least 10 days before the event - to enable time for me to collect the prizes. This will enable us to organise the draw; as
    prizes donated on the night, are difficult to accomadate in to the draw in an organised manner.

                               'Please support the Clubs presentation evening'
                                                       ... If you've any queries about this event, please contact me.
                                                                                                                                           Thanks John Williams.
            Here is a photograph  of a badge/medal  I think from the late 30s
    or late 40s it as a Castle type building on a Blue shield, and underneath
    is printed "SEMPER"  &  "VICTRAX" on white background and round
    the edge is the name...
                          "Wigan  Amateur  Bicycle Club"

    Could anyone at your club, (if possible) find out what it was made for
    -  Maybe a cycling contest?

    I would be very greatful for any help in finding out.

      Regards     James. (veteran)

I can now confirm that I have booked The Barn at Scorton on the Sunday 5th Feb at 1pm for the
'N Lancs TTA presentations'
I have initially booked for 50 and will need to know numbers 10 days before
The cost is  £15.50 per head and there will be a selection of meals which I will send in next few
days
I do hope you can all attend.
