Club Subs. The Subs are now due for the 2010 season, and remain at £20. People who have recently paid within the last 2 months, we will start your membership from now. We are updating our membership database, as we still have members without contact details. A new online form will be up and running soon to update your details. We are introducing a new membership card, which will include your photo, and I.C.E number. I.C.E is In Case of Emergency number. British Cycling are looking to introduce this system over the next few years.  It makes sense to carry this card on your training rides.

With the additional Group leaders mow, we can move forward and offer a better spread of training rides, both distance and ability.

We have decided to re run the Reliability Trial again. This to be run at the end of the upcoming season 2010, and will probably be a Sunday in late February or early March.  Date will be announced soon.

Spring Tour 2010, Dieppe France. We will start taking down names for The Tour very soon. The booking will be made in January. It was decided that payment will be needed to secure your place on the trip. There will be a cut off date, if you do not pay by this date, your place cannot be reserved.
The reason behind this, as raised in the AGM. Bookings are made by credit card, which gives  about 30 days to pay, if we run over this date we incur interest charges, which the club has to pay for.

Club Kit. We have agreed on  a design for a Summer Cycle top. This is not meant as a replacement on our present kit. The colours match and work well with our existing shorts etc. Should be available for next Spring.
Club Kit orders. The cost of ordering kit is very restricted by Club funds. There is a minimum order of 10 items from the manufacturer ( this is standard practice). So for example 10 tops =£400, 10 shorts = £450. So an order of tops and shorts  £850 would almost clear out the Club funds . I know it can be frustrating, when for example someone wants a specific size pair of shorts and would like them ordered. What this would mean, would be an order of £450, for 1 person, then the rest of the kit would go as stock. It wouldn’t be long before Club funds are gone. There has been a lot of interest in Winter jackets, Gilets and overshoes. All I can say we will need at least 10 orders of each before we can place an order.
Future payments on Kit, will need a 50% deposit with your order, then the balance due when the kit arrives, usually 4 weeks turn round.

Turbo Training
Will start on 7th January 2010, in conjunction with White Oak Tri Squad, for 12 weeks
