Because the delivery times are quite prompt – now that we have got the design sorted – we will include some winter clothing.

The material has a matt outer surface and a flossed inside, excellent for chilly mornings Pockets on the back. Arms unzip to leave a gillet.

The inside is a flossed heat insulating Tecnopil-fleece for the best protection against rain and cold. Perfect for really cold weather. The gillet cut has a looser fit than the jersey, with a full zipper with overlap and a high collar. It has a long back giving good protection. Arm warmers A practical and flexible solution to changing temperatures. Available in Lycra £13 or Roubaix £15. The Roubaix material has a flossed surface inside offering excellent insulation. Elastic on the upper arm secures a tight fit. Leg warmers. Like the arm warmers these are also available in either Lycra £22 or Roubaix £25. We will shortly have a supply of the Kalas branded socks at £5 per pair.

  • THE FRENCH CONNECTION Houghton CC and Le Tour …………..The Missing Links………………And More(Useless Information)
    THE FRENCH CONNECTION Houghton CC and Le Tour …………..the missing links………………and more(useless information). In this historic year of the 2014 TdF Grand Depart taking place right here in the North of England, The Tootler has collected together a few interesting facts associating our great club with the worlds greatest bike race and some of the heroic riders who make the connection; roughly, possibly.Admittedly they are loose connections but there are worse things than being loosely connected so taking the advice of Ernest Hemingway to “write drunk, edit sober”, in this late night conceived and rambling compilation Tootler will attempt to connect Houghton CC, the late great Chis, the Vaux Grand Prix road race and the Tour de France. Firstly some relevant background information. For the benefit of recent members (and those under sixty five) the great Chis was a Houghton grammar school boy called Peter Chisman who joined the club in 1954 and who, apart from a wonderful career as an amateur and a professional also inspired hundreds of kids to take up bike racing. In the north east, at least in bike racing terms, the ninteen sixties and seventies were the belle epoque, the beautiful era, a golden time. Friday night at the clubrooms would be packed. There was a separate time trial and road racing notice board. The time trialling notices, race details and start times would be displayed on the RTTC notice board; and the BCF notice board would detail all road races, entrants, times, meeting points etc for those members racing on the road that weekend.

This was another example of how the College has benefited from OC support over the past The Cliftonian 31 hundred years or so. The free CD that accompanies this year’s celebration Salvete/Valete 32 edition of the magazine is once again the result of OC Society generosity and grateful thanks go to the Society, and the Chairman of the OC Executive Commem 36 Committee, Nick Tolchard, for making this all possible. Art 39 In 1962, Clifton marked its Centenary with a huge concert in the Colston Hall, bringing out an LP of the event; in 1987, to mark 125 years, the Choir Chapel Notes 42 produced a CD. The latter is once again featured this year and the Directors Music 44 of Music in both schools, James Hills and David Pafford, are to be thanked and congratulated for producing such a fine record of Clifton choral music – Literary / Activities 47 Arthur Peppin and Douglas Fox would have approved! CCF 53 Remembrance Sunday is well served with the Pre’s version of Parry’s Drama 59 I was Glad (1) and the Upper School’s Libera Me (2) from Fauré’s Requiem, both choirs coming together to sing I Vow to Thee (10).
