Social
When we are not riding our bikes
This year's Club awards Dinner was on Saturday 11th February. The year started with what is usually our main social event in February – the Annual Awards Dinner, held at the Chalkwell Park Rooms. This gave members new and old and some guests the chance to see all the silverware and trophies that the club has to offer and the awards that members can aim to win over the coming season. We had a guest speaker each year, normally from our local cycling community - this year the Guest Speaker was Kevin Darragh a well established BC MTB, Road and Time Trial coach. In 2022 he successfully coached a group of Wheelers women to prepare them for the Travers MTB series.

In November each year we organise a Reunion lunch, where current and former members celebrate their time with the Wheelers. A chance for you to meet your cycling heroes (who may have taught you how to ride a bike properly?!) This year it will be combined with a Centenary lunch on November 19th at Saxon Hall, Eastwood 1:00-5:00pm.
Christmas – each year we hold a Christmas Time Trial followed by Christmas lunch in a local pub, this year it is on December 17th 2023 at the Shepherd and Dog.
​
In addition to the above events, other events maybe organised throughout the year such as murder mystery nights, quiz nights and meals after evening time trials.
​
There is always the chance to socialise after Sunday rides when all the groups return to Canewdon for tea, coffee and cake and a chat.
