  • Chairman’s Report 2016.

    It’s the end of another busy year for the club. We have seen records broken and our membership increase. We have a new design for the club kit and we have run 6 time trials, two road races and the ever Tuesday Ten series .That’s nearly 20 events.

    None of these events could have happened without the help of those members of the club who volunteer to run or help run them. So thank you Joe, Don , Gloria, Mike , Frieda , Ian and everyone else who sat in the box on Tuesday nights.

    Thank you to everyone who drove out to the E2 to spend a spring afternoon on the side of the A11. So thank you also Emma, Caroline, all the Chris’s, Mark and everyone else. Thank you to everyone who got up early to marshal on the E1 or the Road Race; even though the Road Race was cancelled.

    Thank you all of you and everyone else that helped us run these events.

    I’d like to thank Chrystyna, Monica and other for promoting more events for women in the club. The success of Ladies who Lap is something the club should note.

    Thank you to the committee members for their work to administer the club. As this is Steve Maunder last year as club secretary I’d like to thank him for all his work for the club over the last years.
    I’d like to thank John, our President, for his inspirational leadership. John is always generous in the support and advice he gives to all club members and especially to our new members.

    Thank you to everyone who led or helped run a club run .

    Looking ahead, there are, I think, some challenges for us over the next year. We will debate later the refurbishment of the Race HQ, buying Race Chips and how to increase the participation of our female members in the life of the club ; but I ‘d also like us to think about the following:
    • Club Runs- more members of different abilities means we need to review how we organise and manage our Sunday morning rides.That said, I don’t want us to lose our friendly, welcoming and flexible approach to these rides.
    • Better communication with our members- to successfully communicate with all our members we need to use more than one platform and not just rely on the FB page.
    • Better management of the membership list
    • Responding to the members’ ideas for the club- the club exists for its members.
    • Increasing the number of Timekeepers other “officials” within the club.

    And finally, thank you to anyone who I have forgotten to mention. Here’s to another great year for LVCC
