6) Proposed by Retiring Committee
That the Club accepts the new written Constitution as it stands. The committee suggests that this
be considered a ‘live’ document. It is quite an extensive and AGM time will not permit study of each
item within it at the AGM. It is suggested that if any members wish to amend they do so to the
committee in writing after the AGM. Any changes made will be voted on at the 2016 AGM. See
separate document
7) Proposed by Retiring Committee
Team Captains Proposal – See separate Document. This is similar to the proposal of last year to
have racing teams. 1) Road Racing – Ian Nixon 2) Time Trialing – Ashley Thompson 3) MTB/CycloX ?? 4) Audax & Sportive - ??
8) If motion 7 is passed –
Add Team Captains to Committee & Elect said Officials
9) Proposed by Angus Wilkinson –
To add Triathlon as a Club Activity with a Team Captain
With so many in the club now taking part and being quite successful at Triathlon and Duathlon races, maybe
the club could consider registering with the British Triathlon Federation as a triathlon club also?
Believed cost around £100 and once registered gives members a discount on their membership to the BTF.
Many clubs are registered now such as West Suffolk Wheelers, Bungay black dog runners, and Newmarket
cycle and triathlon club. Angus is also willing to stand as Team Captain
10) If motions 7 & 8 passed Funding Team Captains Proposal – An opportunity has arisen to properly fund this proposal by
organising a Sportive – Outline of opportunity to be described at AGM
11) Diss & District CC ‘Open’ Races next year. (Dates have to be ‘in’ end Sept)
1) Redgrave Cyclo Cross – Sat 21st Nov 2015 – Bob Hayward.
2) 25 mile TT – Trikes/Vet Bikes/72” Gear/2-UP – Sun 3rd April – Bressingham – Mick Madgett
3) Hopton RR (ERRL) – Sun 31st July – Sean Cole.
4) 25 Mile TT – Sun 14th Aug – Bressingham - Mark Ready.
5) Old Buckenham Races (ERRL Crit Champs?) – Sat 3rd Sept – Ken Jolliffe
12) AOB – If you have any questions, would like the club to do other things etc now is the time to
speak!
Please note that in line with past & present Club practice items 6 to 10 will be decided on a 2/3rds
majority. A desirable AGM Quorum would be 1/3 of current membership of 114 = 38 members. I’m sure
we all want to be happy with the outcome so please attend and make your choice known.
The bar will be open.
PLEASE PRINT OFF ALL PAPERWORK AND BRING WITH YOU
