The Clarion cycle club was a feature of the first part of the last century in Britain. It was a Socialist club with a noble tradition including members cycling to join the Republican forces in the Spanish Civil War. I was surprised to see it has been revived and there was not one but two stalls at the recent CTC rally in York. On wondering why there were two stalls I was greeted with grim “he's nothing to do with us, we're the real Clarion” from one stall and “they're not socialists!” from the other. It really was straight out of the Life of Brian, particularly as there was not a jot humour in any of the pronouncements. Still, good to have them around [both of them].
There was no Sports Day last year but this is from the biathlon at Beverly in 2007.
