8. Chairman’s report
Adrian welcomed the new 2014 committee and went on to talk about the recent filming of the club ride for the BBC which went well, it is expected to be aired on 4th January.
Concern was once again expressed about ride group numbers on Saturdays being too high, the club will recommend that leaders restrict numbers to a maximum of 12. Phil felt we should hold a leaders evening to discuss in Jan/Feb.
A sportive calendar page on the website has been suggested.The committee agreed to this.
Gensec's report. Membership still climbing, the Xmas ride/lunch is all set to go at the 'drome
10. Treasurer's report. Richard has submitted up to date accounts, £8000 has been spent on kit, with quite a large stock still in store waiting to be collected, the kit should be put back on the shelf if not collected soon.
11. Press and publicity report. N/A
12. Road Event Secretary’s report. Steve has suggested a gpx data base be put together for leaders to use on Garmins etc , but this idea was rejected as it is felt leaders should have a good knowledge of the roads they are leading on. Group sizes were dealt with above as was also the sportive calendar.
13. MTB Secretary’s Report.
Usual problems arising with large group numbers and not enough leaders,also the amount of rides has been rising.
MTB events. Nothing much planned as yet, however there will be a Nirvana in April.
Racing secretary’s report. A racers meeting was held on the 25th Nov.when Ryan Visser offered to provide some race training for existing racers and will also encourage new potential racers.The South East Road Race League has a requirement of Marshalls that may be too much for the club to comply with so affiliation has been rejected.
