AGM, 13th November

Many thanks to all the 54 people who attended the AGM, including our guest Gjoril Berg who is the Volunteer Development Officer at Cycling UK, working alongside Julie Rand.

The meeting was enjoyable and a great opportunity to reflect on our busy year. It was also a most successful meeting for the committee all of whom managed to fend off the ferocious attempts to dislodge them from their offices. Even the Secretary, who might have been a push-over, was able to cling on to his job, at least until the next assault on his position for which he is permanently alert. (Britain needs lerts, remember that one?)

One of the best bits was Ged's speech to commend Brian as a most deserving recipient of the Arthur Jessop trophy, for his many years of service to the club as Wayfarers Rides Secretary and Committee Rep. And most recently he has distinguished himself by organizing the big dinner which follows the Dieppe Raid, enjoyed by a very large number of riders from all over the country and beyond.

Dave presented the trophy to Brian which made him very happy:

Thank you one and all for coming and for your many contributions to an enjoyable meeting.
