Present: Matt Hinkley, Sue Perry, Sally Wheelwright, Julie Snook, Paul Griffiths and Peter Farrell.
AGENDA
1. Apologies for absence: Javed Akhtar, Ian Bolton and Sue Jinks
2. Minutes of the last meeting. These were accepted by the Committee as a true and fair record.
3. Matters arising from these minutes. There were no matters arising.
4. GENERAL
Secretary’s Report and Correspondence. There was nothing to report.
Treasurer’s Report of financial position. Javed was unable to attend the meeting and has reluctantly decided to resign from the post. Therefore, we will be looking for somebody to take over this role as soon as possible. Peter and Sally have agreed to take on this role in the short term. Peter has been to the bank to change a couple of the signatories for cheques and has ordered a debit card for the club. Peter will go to the bank to see if we can have internet banking.
Replies from the ride leader survey. This was sent out to ride leaders. 43 replied. Some members commented that it was difficult to get to know members of the club given that there are different starting times. Therefore, it was suggested that we all start together at 9.30 during the summer months from 1st May to 30th September. During the summer months we are going to replace Streetly Gate and Boldmere Gate as starting points with The Jamboree Stone.
Charity Morning. Matt suggested that some Saturday rides during the summer months could finish at the club house in Shenstone and that Macmillan could do the catering for their charity.
Air ambulance cheque. This will be sent off as soon as we sort out the bank details.
It was agreed that we send them £200.
