Bike thefts

Some of you may already have heard that John Bayliss has had his best bikes stolen.

This was a targetted theft we think, by someone who knows kit; only the best stuff was taken, and they were very selective.

Firstly, its worth all of us checking our security.

Secondly, please keep a look out for,

Billato carbon frame; red white and green graphics

Carrera alloy/carbon bike, white with blue and some red contrasts - mostly Campag

Somec alloy/carbon white with blue - mostly Campag

Penirolla bike, cream with blue graphics, mostly Campag

Borghini winter bike, Campag with Pinarello chainset

Club Meal Monday 3 November @ 8pm
This meal will be at Jimmy Spices in Sutton Coldfield and will be £12.99 per person.  It is buffet style and there is a choice of Thai, Chinese, Indian and Italian cuisine.  The restaurant is situated above Aldis which is on the corner of the ring road in Sutton opposite the closed HaHa Canteen Bar.  Free parking is available behind the restaurant (adjacent to the ring road where you will also find TGI Fridays).  Meet in the bar about 7.45pm for drinks.  The cost of the meal will be collected at the beginning of the evening as there will only be one bill due to the size of our party. Please bring cash (cash dispensers are available at the local Barclays and Lloyds TSB banks). Drinks will be paid for separately when ordered.  The size of the party is presently 44 but I can take a few more names if you have not yet booked in.  Please contact Bev Francis on 0121 686 6892 or email me at markandbev38@blueyonder.co.uk  Bookings will not be taken after Wed 29 October and please notify me by this date if you already know that you will no longer be able to attend.

Many thanks
