Yep, we'll definitely be doing it as our clubrun, then all going to tavern and doing a charity collection, watching the racing and drinking some beer/intriguing cocktails.
The more the merrier!

So, are we doing the 'unofficial' edition on the date of Paris-Roubaix or on the date of the Ronde?
I can confirm that The Gipsy Hill Tavern will be showing Roubaix on the big screen on Sunday the 9th of April.
http://www.letour.fr/indexPRX_us.html says that P-R is on the 10th of April, which, considering that that's the Sunday, seems sensible. :)
Can we therefore fix the 10th and start a new thread? Is everybody OK with that?
Oops, just saw Adam's and Ecobeard's posts:

I've changed the date to this year are Brixton Cycles CC doing there run on the 9th? The Sunday is the 10th
Should we have a new thread? This one was really for 2015. It might get confusing to shift thread purposes around.

Hi folks
Yep we took the decision not to run for 2016 - there is some general fatigue amongst the gang and a desire to reshape it for next year. My brother has a wee babby on the way which will be here for Flanders. Money isn't the issue -its not expensive to stage and the donations made have always been generous enough for people to say 'really?' when we tell them how much money our ride from a SE London boozer makes for charity. We want this to come back better and stronger next year, simple as.
Thanks privatepatterson for the offer of help from your bike shop, that is very kind. We have been well supported by our friends at Brixton Cycles from the beginning and having a local LBS and not an online slayer onboard is what matters.
I can confirm that The Gipsy Hill Tavern will be showing Roubaix on the big screen on Sunday the 9th of April. I can also confirm that Brixton CC will be doing the 2015 route as their club run - I'm sure others will do so too, so you could say there will be an unofficial, clandestine TLC this year for those who cannot get enough cobbles.
thanks
Dave
