Dear Members,

For those who weren’t at the AGM, I thought that I would give you a brief summary of the proceedings, albeit nearly a month ago now.

I am posting this message because I was given the honour of being elected as the Chairman and we also have three new or relatively new committee members.

Glynn Richardson was elected as the Vice Chair and Paul Dresser as Treasurer to replace me. We were joined by Graham Crowther as a volunteer very recently and Martyn Hanson stood and was duly elected as well.

Peter Smith and Pete McNulty stood down as Vice Chair and Secretary respectively and I would like to express my gratitude for their hard work while they were part of the committee and also to the new members for taking on the task.

Reports were given as normal by the Chairman, Treasurer, Chief Observer and Ride Co-Ordinator. All were accepted without controversy and the meeting ended smoothly. If any member wishes to have a copy of the minutes, please ask.

We do not currently have a Secretary and if anyone is willing to be recruited, please let a committee member know. Meanwhile, Paul has volunteered to fulfill this role for the time being.

It was also reported that the club is in a healthy position regarding both membership (61 at present) and financially.

It only remains for me to say that if any member has any ideas for speakers at meetings, topics to be discussed, favourite ride-out routes or other suggestions, please let us know. It would also be good to generally see more of you at Bilton, so please do come along.

I look forward to seeing you in the future and safe riding to you all.

Best wishes,

Richard Stembrowicz

Chairman
