A message from Clive

A MESSAGE TO REDHILL CC MEMBERS FROM CLIVE

This is an open message to everyone at Redhill CC from Clive, whose group suffered a nasty accident recently while on a ride from Woodhatch. Just to note, the annual Calais trip is going ahead on 5 - 7th September 2014.

Dear all

After our eventful ride on Sunday 16th February when our group hit black ice which resulted in Stuart N. (broken hip) and myself (two fractures to neck and one to back) being rushed to East Surrey Hospital, I would just like to put on record my sincere thanks to all the club members who took time to send cards, text and visit me in hospital. It truly made my painful time a lot more bearable knowing I belong to a 'special club'. 

One member who likes to maintain a somewhat hard reputation and shall remain anonymous, visited virtually daily, with gifts of fresh produce from his catering company and a loan of his iPad to enable me to watch the rugby over the weekend. This along with many acts of kindness by club members, I'm sure, assisted with my early discharge from hospital.

I've been told by the physios to expect to be out of the saddle for 9 - 12 mths but have a personal target of being fit and able for the Calais trip (assuming there is one this year). 
Once again many many thanks and I look forward to riding with you all soon.


Tomorrow I am off to Queen Victoria Hospital, East Grinstead for plastic surgery on my ear, my wife insists that anything would be an improvement on the original.

Regards, 

Clive L.
