I have now done the notes from the meeting. Rich C.

Ravensthorpe CC meeting 5^th May 2011

120 Anniversary update.

June 5th is still the agreed and confirmed the date for the 120 miles club ride to Sutton bank. A practice run Borough Bridge was done on 1^st May which was useful as it found a couple of flaws in the route (one being a nice Paris Roubaix style dirt track). These flaws will be sorted by the day of the real ride. We found a cafe at Borough Bridge which was pretty good but might be short on space. It was agreed we will try and stick together for as long as possible at least to Tadcaster.

 Clothing Update.

The new 120 anniversary jerseys are now in full use and flying around the district on our backs. All agreed they look good and where worth the wait to get them. Thanks again to Ben for organizing them.

The Imp Sport stock controlled by Andy is up to date and anyone wanting new items should contact him to add to the next order. The IMP sport kit is still the registered kit for race events and not the Ltd edition Jersey.

Racing Update.

The Club run 10 miles Time Trial event had a good turn out and went well. Thanks to those members who even turned up to race and then helped with starting and marshalling. The next club related event is the 25 mile TT event on the V232 around Borough Bridge. This event was to be where the 25 mile TT trophies are decided. 

As I write theses notes the latest on this event is as follows: There is VERY good chance of all club members getting a ride in this event as the event organiser is very accomodating and the district committee have assisted to ensure more riders can ride.

Another good event was pointed out which is worth a ride in and that is the YCF 10 on the V718 on the 4^th June. Speak with Andy or Steve for more details on this event.

Club Runs.

These are going extremely well with a good core of regular riders turning out on Sundays. Alex and Phil are still planning good varied routes.

The GYBR will take place on 18^th June all entries are now closed. The club run on that day will probably follow the GYBR route but we will not be able to enjoy the feast of a lunch in the field.

‘Lynda’s Ride’ the ride for Kirkwood hospice in memory of Dave Sowerby’s wife will take place on 26^th June. For more information on this ride see the shop web page or call in to see Dave at the shop.

Membership

The possibility of a membership form to be put in place was also discussed. This would be for current members and new members to register their details to be held by the club. People feel there is a need for this as we have a new members joining and potential members wanting to join. I agreed to look into the possibility of putting a form together and launching it in time for the AGM. Alex had concerns that riders are coming on club runs without the relevant 3^rd party insurance. The other issue raised which relates to this is that only members of the club should be able to purchase club kit. I will speak with Phil Rounding about issues with membership.

Members also asked about the roles of the committee and what the role entails. We agreed that a list would be put together to inform people of the roles. This would give a chance for members to consider volunteering for them prior to the AGM meeting.

Next meeting 4^th August
