It is almost eighteen months from our last AGM at on 5 November 2019 to our AGM planned for 27 April 2021.
During this period of time there have two committee meetings and two meetings open to all to discuss and plan the Club’s centenary celebrations during 2020.
19 Nov 2019 – Committee Meeting held at Shenstone
21 Jan 2020 – Club Centenary Birthday Planning Meeting 1
18 Feb 2020 - Club Centenary Birthday Planning Meeting 2
16 Mar 2021 - Committee Meeting held online via Zoom
As a result of the two Club Centenary Birthday Planning Meetings the following programme was drawn up:
Sat 25 Apr 2020 Beer & Skittles Evening with a bar meal (5 options)
6 to 14 June 2020 - National Bike week
Sat 20 June 2020 – Buffet Meal at Pype Hayes Golf Course Function Room
Sun 26 July 2020 – BBQ at Nick Madeley’s Garden
Sun 23 Aug 2020 – Centenary Club 100. Three options: 100 miles, 100 km or 4 x 25km over 4 weeks
Club Audax to be arranged in consultation with Organiser Roy Bishop
Needless to say all the above did not take place because of the Covid-19 Pandemic.
Badges have been purchased for awarding to those who complete the Centenary Club 100.
The Centenary Club BBQ at Nick Madeley’s has now been rearranged for Sat 24 July 2021.
The Club had paid a deposit of £250 for the event to be arranged at the Pype Hayes Golf Course Function Room. This and other events will be rearranged as and when the Pandemic Restrictions allow.
Prior to the Lockdown
Between Nov 2019 and Mid-March 2020 the group rides programme continued as planned with led rides available every day except Mondays.
The annual post-Christmas gathering was well attended at the Lee Gardens in Sutton Coldfield on Monday 20th January 2020.
Cycling during the Lockdowns
We have had a variety of different cycling rules to follow during the different Lockdowns and the period of times between then.
During the first Lockdown a person could cycle alone or with members of the same household. It was very noticeable that car traffic was down but their speeds were on the up.
13 May 2020 saw these restrictions eased slightly to two people or two households cycling together as long as the two metre space rule was observed.
3 June 2020 saw the Rule of Six introduced as long as social distancing was maintained. During this period there was a return to using the Club Rides List again with several groups of up to six being formed at the various start locations for club rides.
At the beginning of November 2020 the Rule of Six ended and we were back to cycling alone or with one other person or with one’s own household.
The end of November saw the Tier System introduced which in Tier 3 meant no change to solo riding or with one other. A short while later the local area was placed in Tier 4 where cycling alone or with one other was permitted. This condition continued when the new national lockdown was announced at the beginning of January 2021.
On 22 February 2021 the PM announced the Roadmap for easing the Lockdown in stages from Monday 29 March 2021. Cyclists would be able to cycle again in groups of six.
As a result of this announcement along with the need to organise an AGM to be held in April 2021 to replace the 2020 AGM, which was due to be held on Tuesday 5 November which was postponed by on suggestion by Cycling UK because of the current Pandemic situation. These developments led to Matt Hinkley calling an online committee Meeting.
