Godric 70th Anniversary

Our cycling club was founded in 1953 and in February this year current members were joined by friends of Godric past and present as well as two founder members, Barry Mimms and Daphne King to celebrate 70 years of riding bikes.

Club kit through the years

Richard Avery, kindly loaned example jerseys from 1978 - 2023

Everyone was able to enjoy a rolling slide show of photographs from rides throughout the years as well as well as jerseys, ride reports and newspaper clippings from the clubs history.

Daphne gave a short talk to members about the clubs founding and early history.

This was followed by Fergus Muir the EDP correspondent entertaining members with tales of competitive cycling in the Anglia region.

The club closed out the evening with the presentation of awards and the all important raffle.

Thank you to members and friends of Godric Cycling Club & to the organisers of a lovely evening.
