Annual Dinner, 25th Jan, Queen of Bradgate, 7pm

This years annual dinner will be held at a new venue, upstairs at the Queen of Bradgate. If you’ve not purchased your tickets yet, they will be on sale until this Wednesday, the 22nd. If you miss the cut-off but still want to come, please get in touch with rob.jones@leciesterforest.org.uk and we’ll try to squeeze you in. Over 70 tickets sold so far, so you’ll be in good company.

The dinner is a great way to meet other people in the club and to get a sense of what’s going on outside of the areas you normally participate in. In addition to the usual food, drinks and awarding of trophies, the cinema room will be showing the short film made about the club over the last 12 months. For the more competitive amongst us, there will be a quiz and also ping pong.

Club Annual General Meeting, 27th Jan, The Black Horse, Aylestone, 7pm

The club AGM appoints members to the committee roles - it is essential that the roles of President, Secretary and Treasurer are filled to enable the club to continue to function. In addition, there are two new motions, 1) to increase membership fees in December 2020 and 2) to increase the number of committee roles to 14. AGMs may not be the most exciting of club events, but they are essential, and allow members to govern appointments to the committee which ultimately drives the direction of the club.

If you are unable to attend please send your apologies to rob.jones@leicesterforest.org.uk

Race Organising Team - Road & CX Race 2020

This year we are looking to put together a team of people to help organise both the road race and/or the cross race rather than a single person shouldering all the responsibility. If you've thought about helping in the past, but feel that taking the whole race on is too big, this is a good opportunity to get your feet wet. If you’re interested in joining the race organising team, be that a small or a big role, please contact rob.jones@leicesterforest.org.uk.

Club Ride Etiquette

Following a run of fragmented club rides, you may have seen a number of Facebook posts on club ride etiquette on behalf of the club. As a club, we’ve always taken a ‘collegiate’ approach to club rides and not appointed ride captains, which means there may not be an obvious person to approach on a ride if you have concerns or frustrations.

If you have concerns, the most effective route to having your voice heard is to contact the committee in confidence rather than escalate the issue on social media.
