title Country Nights and the BSCC at Ampersand, Diss - 4th April 2025 intro 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. imgp0001 Paul and Gaz arrive from Eye imgp0002 Paul, Gaz and the Boy Phil in Brome imgp0003 Fred's out for the first time on a Thursday imgp0006 Fred on the bridge over the A140 near Scole imgp0009 We cycle into the sunset near Thelveton imgp0014 Fred and Isobel in the Ampersand Tap imgp0015 The Tap has improved its former box room imgp0016 Gaz tidies up our table imgp0017 We return to our bike pile imgp0018 There are some Yorkshire puddings in the bog roll imgp0019 Fred does a photo of the random Yorkshires imgp0022 Harry observes some quality parking imgp0023 Isobel and the boys on Mere Street imgp0024 Audio history recording occurs near the Mere imgp0028 One of our cacti is in flower imgp1110 A country dance is explained imgp1117 Dancing in Garboldisham Village Hall imgp1121 The view from the back of the hall
