Godric Cycling Club held its 55th annual dinner and prize night at the Waveney Golf Club, Bungay on Saturday attended by 53 members and friends.
Graham May, chairman, welcomed guests Deputy Mayor Arthur Fisher and wife Mavis, guest speaker Brenda Tate and husband Brian from the East Anglian CC.
Mrs Tate proposed the toast to the club in a very witty way. “The club must have been in very good hands for 55 years and still is,” she said.
The chairman replied and thanked all club officials for their help in timing, marshalling etc and said it was nice to see so many younger members that would ensure the continuing success of the club. An enjoyable evening was had by all after an excellent meal.
