It is with regret that we announce the resignation of Paul Scotney from the Swan Wheelers Cycling Club committee. Paul has done a great job over the past couple of years in helping to set up the club and performing both the Membership Secretary and Treasurer roles. We would like to thank Paul for all of the time and effort that he has put into the club. Whilst Paul is resigning his committee roles, I am very pleased to say that Paul (and therefore Solstice Cycles) will continue to remain as the club's commercial sponsor.
This means that we now have two vacancies on the committee that we need to fulfil. The club constitution does not require an emergency general meeting (EGM) however as a number of members have expressed an interest in performing some of the roles we thought it was only right to open it to all members in the interest of transparency and fairness.
During this interim period Lucy Seaborn will be performing the Treasurer role and Matt Hoey will be the Membership Secretary.
The timings for the process will be as follows:
5th September – Invitation for nominations from club members opens.
11th September – nomination period ends.
12th September - nominations announced and voting commences.
25th September – voting period ends.
26th September – new committee members are announced.
As a member of the club you can nominate yourself or any other member for a role. If nominating someone else please check with them first to make sure that they are happy to perform the role! As the Treasurer role is technical in nature the committee feels it is only right that members who have experience in book keeping apply. Currently the committee would like to nominate Lucy Seaborn to fulfil this role long term but we would still like to have any other nominations. As Lucy has been nominated it would be unrealistic to expect her to perform three roles on the committee so the Social Secretary would also be on available to be filled.
Once the nominations are announced on the 12th September each member will have a single vote by email for each of the roles available; Treasurer, Membership Secretary and Social Secretary (if applicable).
Action required now:
If you would like to nominate yourself or someone else please email swanwheelerscc@gmail.com with the name of the person you are nominating and the role you are nominating them for.
Being a member of the committee is a great way to have input into the club and keep the club operating. The investment of time varies by role but as a minimum you would be expected to attend as many of the monthly committee meetings as possible, although as these are often held in a pub that shouldn’t be a hardship!
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering:  That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
