Last Sunday's AGM at the South London Harriers Club was well attended.
Meike, under the careful stewardship of John, was re-elected President. As were most of the officers with the exception that Ricki is taking over the Treasuryship when Brian heads north in the New Year and Viv takes over the Social Secretaryship from Sandra.
We have more members and they are nearly all paid up putting a little extra money in the bank. Something we do not have to worry about.
Karen & Mark will join Tom V as regular leaders of the Sunday Ride.
Much of the discussion centred on 'Sensible and safe cycling'. Two serious crashes this year made this especially relevant - though, thankfully, both cyclists are recovering well and were present. Capt'n Tom is drawing up a template for a business size identity document with contact and other relevant information useful in case of a mishap.
As ever - how do you encourage the more errant riders to become less so? There was a suggestion that maybe we should spend a little of our funds on a dashcam for Meike so that we can see ourselves as others do - for, I guess like motorist, 80% of us consider ourselves 'above average'. Some rude shocks may change behaviour. We will also be republishing [next week] the club guidelines on group riding.
The cycle helmet debate was re-opened passionately. See 'FINALLY'.
And finally here thank you all those that brought some nibbles. Much enjoyed!
