Happy 80th lockdown birthday to Alf for today.
My husband was 80 on 22nd May and still puts me to shame for mileage on the bike. 1940 must have been a good vintage for cycling prowess. Enjoy every minute.
Lucy and Dick McTaggart
A special year!
Happy birthday to Dick McTaggart!
Many thanks. I’ll pass on your message.
We were so glad to see that Cycling Time Trials had finally made Alf guest of honour at the end of season champions night.
Hope he can get some good fishing in this week now the lockdown has eased.
It was a lovely night, a privilege to be a part of it. I bet he is fishing right now.
