The Cycling Club with its headquarters' hut is now on Mildenhall Cricket Club ground. The annual rally is no longer sponsored by Dairy Time and it is held on the playing fields of Riverside Middle School on August Bank holiday weekend. The penny farthing mentioned was donated by Mr Percy Webb of Wilde Street. His Uncle went to Canada in the 1920s and Percy was told to look after his cycle. He never came back and many years later the forgotten cycle was found in the attic of an old barn. It was renovated and now stands in the Fen and Breck room.
