Country Nights and the BSCC at Ampersand, Diss - 4th April 2025

It's the first bike ride of the season for the remains of the BSCC, so in traditional style it's a short one to Ampsersand's brewery tap room in Diss, via Billingford, Thelveton and Dark Lane. There's a better-than-usual turnout as Paul, Isobel and - for the first time on a Thursday ride - Fred turn out as well. The next day, it's the first night of Palgrave Players' Country Nights music and dancing evening at Garboldisham Village Hall, where Nosher's on piano for about a third of the numbers, so there's plenty of time to roam around a get a few photos.
