Calendar 2026

( N.W. Members ) – Issue 01 – Feb 2026

From this year all our rides will be based from Calendar Issue 01 and our website calendar under events will show any amendments and updates – See (ajsmatchlessnw.org.uk).

The dates for the Weekend rides will hopefully remain steadfast but Midweek rides (Normally Wednesday) we believe should have a degree of flexibility on the weather conditions for that week.

Run Leaders after discussing options with the ride coordinator will decide on cancellation or day change and then the members of the club will be informed via E-mail, phone or asked to check the web page.

The committee have also agreed that the time frame for any changes will be made a week prior to a Weekend ride or Monday of a midweek ride.
