Events 2016/17:

Trophy Presentations would once again be at the Fleet, and would be held on Friday evening 17th February with a substantial buffet supper.

The pattern of events in 2017 would be similar to those of 2016; the Road Races date would be 2nd July; the complete list would be published on the web when ready.

Club Subscriptions:

The Committee recommended that there should be no change to standard subscriptions for 2017; proposed Kevin Hobbs, seconded Julian Fryer; carried.

Proposed Secretary, seconded Simon Hodson, that a new membership category called Country Member should be established for those living distant from Peterborough, subscription half full member. Carried and Constitution amendment approved.

Web Site:

The new web site was working well enough, but members were encouraged to make more use of it.

Sunday Rides:

The 0900 Social Ride on Sundays was poorly supported. The faster ride leaving at the same time was well supported, but the Social Ride needed to be available for potential members to be introduced to the Club.

  • Ian Wild thought he’d be able to run a few “special” Sunday rides – eg recce of the Cambridge route.
  • The system for awarding the Kelly Cup would be changed – to be dealt with in Committee.
