Christmas lunch - save the date!

The CTC Cambridge Christmas lunch will be held at The Chequers in Fowlmere on Thursday 11 December. This is the same venue as last year. As usual we'll have some led rides beforehand to give us a suitable appetite. We'll take bookings nearer the time, but for now, please save this date in your diary!
