 Minutes of the Peterborough Cycling Club
Committee Meeting
Held on 21st March 2011
Members present:
John McCarthy, Tim Cockerell, Richard Roach, John Savill, Joe Ippolito, Rod Auckland, Chris Harwood, Phil Cavanagh, Nick Smith, Ian Wild.
Apologies:
Simon Hodson, Norman Hill, Dave Yarham.
The Minutes of the previous Committee Meeting were agreed to be a true record of that meeting.
Matters Arising:
There were no matters arising.
Correspondence:
Nick Smith had received info about the Ride for Ryder Sportive and was following this up.
Olympics Weekend/Peterborough Classic:
There has been no update on the Olympics weekend 23/24 July, but the Peterborough Classic for 24 July has been confirmed, starting and finishing in the City Centre. The Club is likely to be involved in some way, but no details yet. Assuming the Olympics weekend proceeds as expected, the Club would at least be manning a stall in the Centre.
2011 Road Races:
• The Club would be organising the NCRA event on Saturday 2nd April. Ian still needs volunteers for marshalling etc.
• The Peterborough Classic promoter is also organising a road race at Ramsey on 1st May, and is likely to ask for some help. This means using the alternative date of 7th May for the Club’s 2-up.
Club Events 2011:
See new 2-up date, above.
New members:
• One new membership application was approved.
• Roger Howland had accepted life membership of the Club, and had generously made a £20 donation.
• Sadly, John French had resigned as a member of the Club. The Committee recognised his outstanding contribution to the Club, and agreed to offer to refund his 2011 subscription, already paid. (Secretary’s note: John has declined the offer of a refund, as he may wish to ride some of our Club events. I welcomed this and suggested he could have second claim membership for the next 2 years. He is joining a sponsored team).
Club Equipment:
• We now had a complete set of road race numbers 1-180.
• Work needed to be done on signs; the Chairman was looking at this.
• The Club needed a display board, which could cost some £100. The Chairman thought he could get one on loan to the Club.
Bike Workshop:
The Club had been invited to provide a bike workshop with Club information; this is being set up at the Green Backyard on London Road. Information was awaited, and Phil volunteered to look into the set up further.
Treasurer’s report:
Treasurer had to leave early, but reported current account standing at £834 and deposit at £281.
Quartermaster’s Report:
Sales of £79 had been made since the last meeting.
Time Trial Secretary’s Report:
• Dave had been unable to attend, but reported that the Hardriders TT had been well attended. Chairman marshalled at the Oundle roundabout, which he considered potentially dangerous; this needs to be examined further.
• The final Winter 10 would be held the following Saturday.
• Chairman would be booking the Stilton Village Hall for the Open TTs.
Road Race Secretary:
Peter Moulding had been doing well in his early road racing attempts in the NCRA league.
Press Secretary:
Press Secretary was not present.
Sportive Secretaries:
• Sportive activity continued to grow.
• It was important for participants to report their results promptly, to ensure trophy positions were in date.
Trophy Secretary:
John was still investigating the best way to provide more space for the engraving of winners’ names on several trophies. Phil thought he might be able to help, and he and John would look at this possibility.
Club Clothing:
A lengthy, inconclusive and somewhat circular discussion took place on this controversial topic. The Chairman was not in favour of change, and was not prepared to spend any more of his time following up the Club’s desire for any change. At the last, Joe and Ian agreed to take on this task.
Any Other business:
• Joe reported on progress to move the venue for the Annual Prizegiving. His proposal was accepted, and he would book for the first Sunday lunchtime next February. Thought would be given to a future move to an evening event, though this would probably be much more expensive.
• Chris would be putting daily progress reports on the web sites for 2 members who were intending to complete LeJog this year. Graham Hicks was riding C2C in June, and would be asked if he wanted the same service.
• The Committee thanked Chris for the work he was doing on our web site to keep the Club informed of members’ activities and results.
Date of the next Committee meeting: 18th April.
There being no further business the meeting closed at 2115.
