Club Subscriptions:

The Committee recommended that there should be no change to Club subscriptions for 2018; proposed David Stanbridge, seconded John Savill; carried.

Web Site:

Members should consider making more use of our web site, as well as the ephemeral qualities of Facebook. If any computer literate member would like to take on looking after the web site, the Secretary would be pleased to handover this task.

Sunday Rides:

Club captain reported that the 0900 Cathedral Square social ride was still poorly attended, but he would persevere.
