PRESCOT CYCLING CLUB ANNUAL DINNER AT LIVERPOOL
The club held its annual dinner on Saturday at the Imperial Hotel, Lime street, Liverpool, when about 30 members and friends sat down for an enjoyable Christmas dinner.
The club secretary (Mr. F. Barrow), thanked the manager (Mr B, Montgomery) and his staff for the excellent repast.
This was supported by the assistant secretary (Miss M. Burton). Mr J J McAlle (chairman of the N.C.U., Liverpool centre) referred to the NCU. and its club activities. He hoped that the Prescot club would continue to grow in membership in spite of the war.
He also hoped that the boys from the club who would be called to serve their country would return, safely and in good condition, able to carry on the good sport of cycling.
He proposed the health of the Prescot CC. and this was seconded by the secretary (Mr P Barrow).
The rest of the evening was spent in sing-song and entertainment given by the club members themselves.
The Prescot Club would like more members of either sex, and anyone wishing to join should write to the secretary (Mr P Barrow), 12, Aspinall Street, Prescot, or attend at the clubrooms on Tuesday, Thursday or Sunday evenings.

Any descendants on Cycle Chat?
My own father was instrumental in restarting cycling in Prescot just after WW2, with the formation of the Prescot Road Club, but had no link as far as I know to the above. He would have been too young.
I started my club riding with the Prescot RC in the late 60's, before moving down to Kent.
