For those who missed the touching little ceremony in the bar last night, or who had already drunk too much and have forgotten, here are the highlights. I'm afraid it wasn't live-cast on Facebook....
First,
@theclaud's beer kitty had more cash in it than the present-for-@mmmmartin fund at one stage. Poor show, TC, letting the kitty build up so much.
Second, after doing a complete tour of the island via two lengthy detours in an attempt to find a road off that wasn't closed,
@rvw and I eventually made it to the only bike shop in Holland open on a Sunday and added more of the kit
@mmmmartin needs to become a proper cyclist. He is now in proud posession of a genuine Axa brand dutch café lock, a bit like this one:
And because it was far too big to get out of the car we virtually handed over (via a tiny photo on a screen - appropriate for a virtual club and occasionally virtual members of the tour) the all-important wicker basket. Martin will have to provide his own dog to go in it.
If anyone happens to be travelling from Buckinghamshire to Tunbridge Wells let us know, and we can make the virtual real.
