Dear All,

There is a typing error on the AGM, the date says 13th March when it is in fact Monday the 12th March which is a normal club night.

Revised AGM with correct date attached.

2018 AGM Agenda

Dear Members

There are still 21 members who have not paid their annual subs which became due 1st January 2018.

We would appreciate your support in making the outstanding payment as soon as you can. It is only a small payment but enables the group to organise and fund the events we put on.

I have pasted Andrew’s initial email below which highlights the way the payments can be made.

Thank you for your continued support.

Paul Dresser (Secretary)

Dear Members
Your annual subscription to Harrogate Advanced Bikes is due at the end of December 2017 for the 2018 year. Your subscription to HAB is important to us, it helps us put on training and social events throughout the year such as the evenings at Bilton Cricket Club.
The subscription amount is again unchanged at £15-00, and our preferred method of payment, is by direct bank transfer to our account:
Lloyds Bank Harrogate Sort Code: 30-93-91 Account No: 01807888
Online payments – Please put your name in the reference field so payment can be identified easily.
Payment may also be made to our Treasurer, Andrew Pratt, at the Monday 11 December meeting at Bilton Cricket Club
For clarification Subs will be due from :-
Ø Paid Up Members
Ø 2017 Associates that have passed the test
Ø Members are also reminded that all HAB members must also be members of IAM Roadsmart.
Many thanks in anticipation of your continued support.

Dear Members.

I am writing to you all to appeal for volunteers to support and work with the group on the exec committee.

We currently have positions to fill for the Exec roles of Chairperson and Treasurer; we would also like the support of a non-exec ride-out coordinator. We would also appeal for anyone who would like to contribute to our committee as a non-exec member.

The group is run by the members and for the members and without volunteers willing to help then the group is simply unsustainable.

For many years the group has been run by a core group of members who have done an amazing job of maintaining the group. It would be nice to have some fresh members on the committee.

You do not need any specific skills and the roles are not onerous or time consuming. We are a social biking group associated with the IAM and who provide training in line with the IAM standards. There are four committee meetings a year, one of which is the AGM where we discuss plans for meetings and other events such as ride-outs along with the training plan.

We would also like to see other members volunteer to lead ride out’s. Again there is a core group of members who regularly lead and organise ride outs and it is difficult to come up with original and novel routes. It would be nice if someone had their favorite destination or road, possibly something a bit different and interesting, and lead a group there. If you are unsure of anything the group are perfectly happy to help and you can partner up with an experienced ride leader.

If anyone is interested in supporting the group in any way you can then please email me (reply to post), or you can speak to one of the committee at the next meetings. We will be making a specific appeal at the AGM in March so it would be nice to gather support before then.

On behalf of the committee.

Paul Dresser (Secretary)

The Harrogate Advanced Bikes AGM will take place on Monday 13th March 2018 at Bilton Cricket Club, starting at 7.30pm.

We would invite all members to attend.

Please find attached agenda.

Kind Regards

Paul Dresser (Secretary)

Hi H.A.B. If you have not yet signed up for our Not-C-Dinner look at the menu attached. You might cancel your other arrangements and join us. Attached please find the superb menu Old Spring Well is offering us for our Not Christmas Dinner 2018. I looks even better than last year and we can look forward to same warm welcome on the night. The reason that we do not have the menu earlier is the fact that this is a “bespoke” menu specifically for H.A.B. 

You need to make your choices:  Starter ; Main ; Dessert. (Not easy !!)

Please send your choices to me a.s.a.p. but NO LATER than mid-night on Monday 21st.

Bon appetit !

HAB N-C D 2018

This month’s mid- week ride will be on Wednesday 15th November and, by popular request, will be to the best fish and chip shop in Filey (where those of a certain age can get a Pensioner’s Special lunch).

We should meet in Wetherby at the North Street Deli at 9.45 for a 10.00 departure. The route will take us out towards York, York ring road and the A116 east. Coffee stop will be at Fridaythorpe then mainly B roads to Filey. The return ride will start on the A170 towards Pickering but head off on nice country roads for the majority of the ride to finish at St John’s retail park Knaresborough. If there is public demand we might even stop for ice cream or tea in Easingwold. Dave Haywood, who was originally leading the ride, is unfortunately unable to do so, so John Blanchfield will lead instead.

IMPORTANT – Change of date for the November mid-week ride out

Please note that I’m having to change the date for November’s ride out. This will be on Wednesday 15th November (i.e. not the normal second Weds of the month). I hope this won’t inconvenience anyone wishing to go.

I plan to do a variant on the popular ‘Fish & Chips’ ride to Filey starting in Wetherby. More details nearer the time.

Thanks

David Haywood
