Swan Wheelers Cycling Club will hold its 2018 annual general meeting in the function room at Prego starting 7:30pm on Friday 13th April 2017.

All members are entitled and encouraged to attend. We'll be reporting on the year gone, looking at the club's finances, electing the committee for the coming year, discussing any member raised issues and holding the Swan Wheelers Awards.

As well as that, the club will be putting on some pre meeting pizzas from 7:30 (note this isn't a sit down meal, more along the lines of pre meeting appetisers; so you may wish to make sure you don't forego your tea for it!) There will also be a bar for you to purchase drinks from. To clarify pizzas are paid for by the club, drinks are self funded.

If you want to vote or stand for the committee at the AGM, you'll need to have renewed your membership for 2018/19 by then. @PaulW has added a post into the forum about renewing, but don't worry, we'll be emailing to remind you on 31st March when your membership expires if you haven't done it before then.

The agenda, procedure for election, nomination form and officer role descriptions are in the attached pack. The nomination process is the same as last year in that we are asking for all nominations ahead of the meeting. Members can then cast their votes for each role at the meeting. If you are interested in standing for any of the positions, please see the details in the attachment and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me or message me at @MattH

Please take note that Stephen Turnock, Lucy Seaborn, Paul Seaborn and myself will not be seeking nomination again this coming year. This means that several new committee members will definitely be needed. As per the club constitution, the club must have at least a chair, a secretary and a treasurer as a minimum to operate.

So we can advise Prego on numbers and determine how many pizzas we need, please indicate if you will be attending by clicking on "Yes, I'm attending" by Tuesday 10th April.

Look forward to seeing you there.

I will be sorry to see you leave the committee Stephen, Matt, Paul and Lucy. I would like to personally thank you for all the time and effort you have all put into SWCC and hope to continue to see you on future club rides. I really hope your roles are all filled and our club continues. I would be happy to stand for the role of ride co-ordinator if anyone would like to propose and second me.

I will second that, but hope we will still be seeing you all!

Thanks @Woodwheels70 and @AdamPool 😊

thanks @Woodwheels70, @AdamPool
It's probably time for a change to get some fresh ideas and perspectives on board.

I concur to all of the above. I remember a very dismal AGM when only eleven people attended.

The current committee are to be commended in their achievement to date.

As my final deed as club secretary, please find attached the following items from the AGM...

1. Minutes from the meeting (also contains register, nomination forms and accounts)
   
2. A copy of the slide deck from the evening
   
   

If you spot any inaccuracies or have any queries about the output from the AGM, please let me know.
