THE LIFE OF AN EDWARDIAN RACING CYCLIST

Mark H writes: 
I have just bought a five page booklet from e bay written by G.A.Olley,he was an Anerley BC member and broke many records between 1900 and 1907. Not just club records but national records,including Lands End to John O'Groats [LEJOG] twice, the 12 hour four times, the 1,000 mile record, London to  Edinburgh, London to Portsmouth and back. He was a famous vegan too. Photo's of him are rare only seen three on the net. These two are new to me.

Please bring a bottle , something to go on the BBQ and a pudding/salad/bread/paper plates/cutlery/plastic glasses. If anyone has some portable tables that would be useful and some folding chairs, another BBQ may be useful if large numbers are expected.

I will provide venue, charcoal and charm! Spouses and hangers on most welcome !

Please RSVP to party@anerleybc.org or by text telling me what you propose to bring so that we don't end up with 100 paper plates 200 forks and no pudding!

Looking forward to seeing you all.
