Cycle Somerset AGM 7th November 2018. Meet at 20.00 for 20.15 start The Agenda for our annual meeting is attached. I would like to draw your attention to some of the items we are going to discuss. The selection and voting for the “Ride of the Year” and the “Coffee Stop of the Year” will be done slightly differently this year by agreeing the nominations in each category at the AGM and then a poll of members to vote for the favourite. For those unable to attend the meeting please feel free to e-mail the chairman (graham.farrington@btopenworld.com) with a nomination. There will be a chance to nominate on the night via a sign up sheet. The meeting will agree the top three which will go to a membership wide vote. There will be an opportunity to discuss how we deal with our own success in sometimes having more people than we can manage on a popular ride. Please come with ideas on how we move forward in this area. Finally, the majority of the committee have agreed to continue their roles. I have been chairman for eight years and would like someone to take on the role. The duties are not onerous and involve co-ordination amongst our team more than anything else. Please let me know (e-mail above) if you would consider the role or would like to nominate a suitable successor.

As many of you will know John Chester asked before he died that we sell his cycling equipment and bikes and donate the proceeds to St Margaet's hospice. The selling is now almost done and this will be the presentation to the hospice. Please come along. If you can please come by bike, in cycling kit. There will be photos and it would be best if as many as can are with their bikes. (It may be difficult to use a bike in the middle of a weekday afternoon, if so come anyway). The hospice is in Heron Drive which is at the back of SCAT. Not essential but registration, so that we have an idea of numbers, would be useful.
