In 1985 the club organised a charity ride to Gloucester’s twin town of Gouda in response to the visit by Gouda riders the year before. The Club was presented with a Church Warden’s clay pipe made by a master craftsman. It was mounted and is now the trophy awarded for the best overseas ride, as judged by vote at the AGM.
