The 1960s...
During this iconic
decade our D.A. had a high membership particularly of young people
and women. There was a diverse range of social activities including
club room competitions, slideshows and coach trips (without the
bikes!) More cafes existed and Youth Hostel weekends were very
popular. Some of our members even organised cycle tours in Europe, a
rare and expensive task at the time.
One photo shows the winter of 1963, one of the most severest on
record, but this didn`t deter the riders! Alas, some of the people
featured are no longer with us, but some are still riding today.
Thanks to Alan Parker and Dave Martindale for
the photos.
