North Birmingham – November Newsletter
AGM
Peter Farrel and Sally Wheelwright have stepped down from the Committee and we thank them for their hard work in their roles as Secretary and Social Secretary.
The AGM held on Tuesday 7th November was somewhat lacking in information mainly due to accounts being held up by banking red tape concerning the swapping over of the named officials on our account. A full accounts breakdown will be available shortly.
I would like to thank Ros Llewellyn and Julie Snook for jointly agreeing to undertake the possition of Social Secretary.
Meanwhile we are Desperately in need of a Club Secretary, if you would like to undertake this role please get in touch with the club.

Dieppe Raid 2018 – Message From Mike Eades
Eleven of us attended the 2017 Dieppe Raid, which we all enjoyed immensely, and I plan to organise a similar trip in 2018, which will take place on the weekend 23rd/24th June.
I plan to have a similar itinerary to last year :-
Friday 22nd Travel down to Newhaven for afternoon ferry
Saturday 23rd Group / club ride(s)
Sunday 24th Formal Dieppe Raid ride over distances of 60, 100 or 140km followed by formal meal
Monday Group / club ride(s) and return on evening ferry arriving back home in the early hours.
Expect the cost to be similar to this year, £200 if you make your own way to and from Newhaven, or £250 if six of us hire and share a van. This price includes return Ferry cost, accommodation, ride entry (including refreshments en route) and the formal meal, but does not include other meals, drinks and general expenses.
Party will probably be limited to a maximum of 18, if you are interested in attending please email mike.eades@talktalk.net before Christmas.
