Alan Naber’s talk has been postponed - hopefully we’ll be able to reschedule for April, or Maybe May

Alan Naber has presented his fabulous Social History of Cycling at a club meeting before, but it’s been a while and he’s made some refinements in the meantime. It’s a fascinating and entertaining journey through the impacts that the bicycle’s invention has had on societies over the past 150 years.

A special meeting has been called for March too. This is required to consider a proposal from your committee to make a change to club rules - specifically to impose term limits on office bearers.

Under rule 82 the Club Committee gives notice of a Special General meeting to consider the following alterations to the club rules (changes in bold).

• Removal of clauses 8 - 13 inclusive

• 49.3. A committee member may be re-elected to the same position for a maximum of 5 terms
• 82.6. A special general meeting convened by members under rule 82

A quorum of 20% of members present in person, or online, or represented by a proxy will be required to make the changes to the club rules. If you can’t be at our March meeting in person or online please take a minute to appoint a proxy. You may give specific voting directions to your proxy or leave the vote to their discretion. A proxy may only vote on behalf of 5 members.
