The centrepiece of this splendid weekend was the Reunion Dinner at the Link Hotel in Loughborough attended by 99 members and friends of the Association.

Held in a room dominated by an astonishing display of TA photos and memorabilia, the assembled company were entertained by an array of speakers led by time-trial champion and Cycling Weekly columnist Dr Michael  Hutchinson and ending with the Toast to “The Tricycle Association ”  proposed by former TA Secretary and President and current 24 hour competition record-holder Eric Tremaine, over from Canada for the occasion.

Earlier some 20 members had enjoyed a sociable afternoon snack at St Joseph’s Tearoom, Mount St Bernard, with three members defying continuous rain to ride their tricycles there.

Next day Chairman Sid Charlton set a brisk pace at the Annual General Meeting, passing the  finish timekeeper at 10.11 am, allowing plenty of time for more socializing and consumption of coffee and birthday cake.
