Social

Many sports clubs have a very social side
.. and the Redmon is no exception!

This year we will be celebrating our 80th year, having first been established in 1935. We hope to have a sportive in the summer, a barbeque and celebratory drink or two! Our Thursday evening racing has a social side, where both active and non active members enjoy meeting for a chat with a cuppa and a cake at the race headquarters (from mid April to the end of August). The Social side has also a more serious side in that members help out with organising and marshalling the Open and Club time trials without which the racing members would not be able to compete.

Once or twice a year there are weekends away, sometimes in southern England but more likely these days to Europe taking advantage of the cheap air fares available. Recently we have visited Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Bruges, Lisbon, Madrid, Seville, Salamanca, Malaga, Rome, Naples, Florence, Venice, Bologna, Ljubljana and Toulouse with sometimes as many as 20 or 30 travellers. Last autumn we went Marrakech.

We also have a “Supper Club” which meets informally once a month at a local hostelry to enjoy a good meal and a chat, and a group within the club that arranges rambles and days out, also ‘lunching’ at a country pub. So why not join us ?
