A Few Words of Thanks
Steve celebrated his return to Blighty the previous evening by leading a chain gang from North Cheam around Richmond Park, before taking them to his home for Ann to take over the baton and offer coffee, cake and tasty morsels, accompanied with a splendid variety of home made juniper and vodka cocktails to warm the cockles and sharpen the appetite.
With our cheeks flushed and our speech already slightly slurred, the cycling congregation was gently shepherded to the venue for our Sunday Service at the altar of the Angel, Long Ditton. Early arrivals were already occupying pews in the Saloon Bar, while the new arrivals soon sought out the Doom Bar. Shirley Quemby entertained us with some fascinating Patterson prints and images of the Angel and its history. All too soon it seemed, we were summoned to table to be smilingly served an excellent lunch, which was hopefully enjoyed by all. I heard no complaint. We must thank Steve for organising this annual beanfeast, and all the staff of the Angel for serving us so well. It was all over so soon that I am already impatient for next year. Steve, you have got the job!
Many thanks to everyone for coming and making it so enjoyable an occasion
Long live the Cheam & Morden!
Jeff
