Dear Fellow Members,
When you get back from an invigorating Easter tour to Canterbury, or a jaunt along the trackways of Surrey or Sussex, a trip to the local or a snooze in the garden with a relaxing aperitif, what better way to finish off the day than to peruse the dusty voting form, languishing in the already forgotten pages of your April/May issue of 'Cycle'. Voting form? What voting form?
Perhaps you are more exercised by Brexit, or Extinction Rebellion, or the putrefaction of Democracy in the UK. Trifles. Might it be that dis-interest in democray at the micro-level is indicative of the decay of interest in democracy at the mega-level? Boring. Will you vote in the local elections next Thursday, 2nd may? As for elections for the EC, heaven forfend. So voting for or against anodyne motions on the agenda of CUK. Why?
Perhaps you have already sent off a blank voting form, for those who know beter than you at the politburo to fill in for you. Have you seen the annual accounts? The Annual Report? Have they been sent to you? Have you been told where to find them? As you may or may not know, I am somewhat old-fashioned. I like to know what I am voting for.
The agenda is more a less a vacuum, apart from the bread and butter motions. The only substantive motion relates to the publication of Key Performance Indicators, that should be normal corporate governance.
As I said, all very boring. It s now just a cycling charity, that used to be our club, the CTC.
Use it or lose it. Perhaps we have lost it already.
