The Minutes of the previous Committee Meeting were agreed to be a true record of that meeting.
Matters Arising:
ß Purchase of the Bernard Kelly trophy was complete, and Alex displayed a handsome trophy to general approval.
ß Still nothing further had been heard from Colin Coe.
Correspondence:
ß Alex had received details of a Portuguese cycle clothing Company. These were passed to the Quartermaster to hold, as we were happy with our current suppliers for now.
ß Keith had received a CTC leaflet involving the recycling of unwanted mobile ‘phones. Sending them to the CTC would raise some £4 per ‘phone. Secretary would publicise on the web and Newsletter – Action: Secretary.
AGM:
The Committee felt that The AGM had been generally satisfactory. Its proposals had been discussed fully and accepted.
Time Trial Secretary’s Report:
ß The time had come to order 2008 handbooks; the number requested justified ordering 10, which attracted a price reduction.
ß He was well advanced in producing the Club’s 2008 Events Calendar, needing in particular details of the NCRA races (Secs note; this information subsequently sent to Dave). Alex intended to run a local Sportive series, but preferred to hold announcing dates until other local and national event dates were available. Joe would be organising a late season lunch run; 7 Dec was agreed.
(at this stage Dave had to leave the meeting)
Prizegiving:
Some potential venues had been visited by Committee members, and it was agreed that a decision needed to be made in the very near future. After some discussion, Alex was asked to negotiate terms at The Stage in Market Deeping; this venue had the advantage that there would be no room charge. It was hoped that the event could be held at lunchtime on 3rd February, with a modestly priced buffet.
Capital Expenditure:
There was a need to review much of the Club’s equipment, especially flags and road signs, to ensure that events run by the Club were seen to be safe and efficient. The Chairman, Secretary and Quartermaster would carry out the review and present costed proposals at the next Meeting.
Action: John McC, Tim and John D
New Members:
The Committee welcomed and approved the addition of 2 new members.
Treasurer’s Report:
With no major expense outstanding, the situation was healthy with £993 in the current account and £273 on deposit.
Quartermaster:
It was hoped that an order for new clothing would be placed soon, so that kit was available for display/sale at the Prizegiving.
Road-Race Secretary’s Report:
NTR
Press Secretary’s Report:
Alex suggested we should have a Guest-of-Honour at the Prizegiving, and he was asked to approach Caroline Kleiber. She is an outstanding cyclist, living and working in the area.
Any Other business:
ß Joe outlined his proposal to organise a Spring trip to Italy for interested Club members. This was encouraged by the Committee, and would be publicised in the Newsletter.
ß Keith displayed his recently received lapel badge denoting his 25 year’s membership of the CTC. He wondered if the Club might have a similar award for long-term membership. The idea met with approval and will be costed for the next meeting.
ß
Date of the next meeting: 14th January. There being no further business the meeting closed at 2120.
