[svccridesupdate] AGM and other news

We had a very successful AGM last Saturday – 25 attended with 13 sending their apologies – and there was a good discussion about how the Club is doing and what changes we might make in the future. We would like to welcome a new member of the committee,Tom Daltry, and we are sure he will be a great addition to the team. A copy of the draft minutes will be available soon. 

One of the decisions that was made at the meeting was to set up a club WhatsApp group. This would be for members to share photos, videos and chat about rides. Important information about rides will still be sent out by email to make sure that everyone can access it. The WhatsApp group has now been set up by Phil. It is called Stroud Valleys Cycling Club and if you want to join the group, you can follow this link: 

Alternatively reply to this email with your number and I can add you to the group. 

Some events coming up: 

3 members have signed up for the Cheltenham New Flyer 200km Audax on Saturday 11th May – anyone else tempted? 

There is a local event on Saturday 11th May – a gravel ride at Cirencester Park – for more details go to https://bathurstgravel.com/ 

Liz has already let you know about the new date for the Blossom Ride- Sunday 19th May – now changed to an Asparagus Ride!

The Events Page on the website will be updated soon with more events coming up over the summer. 

Finally, the Canoeing and Camping trip is Monday 27th May to Thursday 30th May and at the moment we have an odd number of people going. This means that one person is going to have to work extra hard and paddle their own canoe! If you would like to take part and make use of that space, let me know as soon as possible.
