The Winning Photo Might Be ... Where?

Lady Mary's phone doesn't have a built-in camera ... But yours probably does!

 

Check your phone for photos you took during the month of March. A winning entry for the 2016 photo contest might just be hiding in there!

 

Email your photos to membership@davisbikeclub.org for consideration by this year's judges.

The Dowager is calling on all Club members to submit their entries for the 2016 March Madness Photo Contest, and reminds everyone that extravagant prizes will be awarded.

Don't forget to read the official RULES of the contest, which include this listing of photo categories:

The Categories

• Best photograph of all (a prize which will undoubtedly be won by a member of the gentry, if there are any in Davis)
• Best photograph showing bicycles in action (because the Dowager in intrigued by the Club's infatuation with physical exercise)
• Best photograph highlighting a British bicycle (Raleighs count only if made in England!)
• Best photograph of cyclists in traditional attire (any hint of stretchy or other similar unfortunate attire in the photograph may be grounds for disqualification). Tweed, wool of any kind, and similar clothing will add points.
• Best photograph of a male cyclist offering assistance to a female cyclist, or demonstrating traditional British virtues.
• Best photograph of a Pub (because the Dowager appreciates the need of pubs for the working class).
• Best photograph of a bicycle with a castle or other regal residence. Anyone traveling to Downton Abbey for this photograph will automatically win.
• Best photograph of cyclists enjoying afternoon tea.

Ladies, Bicycles, Cameras, and Anna the Lady's Maid

Anna the Lady's Maid was surprised to learn that respectable women actually ride bicycles and take photographs.

"It sounds fun, but I wonder what Mr. Bates would think," asked Anna. "He is rather traditional."

"I will have to ask him when I see him next in  ... in ... in ... *SOB* ... PRISON! Oh, God, shall we never be happy?"

Poor Anna. So much sorrow in her life. Perhaps if she spent more time out of doors she would be happier?

P.S. Ladies ... send your photographs to membership@davisbikeclub.org for the 2016 contest!

Well, That Settles That

Dear Readers:

It has come to my attention that the Royal Family rides bicycles. You may continue your cycling activities knowing that you are following in the footsteps (wheel steps?) of the King.

Sincerely,
Countess Violet Crawley

P.S. If you take photographs of your cycling, send them to membership@davisbikeclub.org for this year's contest.

Dapper Photos

Mr. Mason took time from pig farming to snap a photo of this dashing lad and his English bicycle. (Yes, that's famous racer Bradley Wiggins, looking resplendent from tip to toe.)
