HI All,
It has been a very quite start to the new year for the club given all the restrictions but the Committee has been working away in the background to get things in place for whenever the restrictions are eased/lifted.
In summary:
1. Club League: As of today, we have all the permits / insurance in place for the 2021 League. Assuming that we are allowed, the league will run between May and September. In advance of this, we will need to do a bit of course maintenance and create a new exit to Section 1. Over the lockdown(s) the course is being heavily used so it may require a bit more maintenance this year.
2. Spins: Those of you in the club when Richie was around will remember his weekly spin plan. This was posted each Sunday and listed the spin, the spin leader and general route info. We will be bringing this back to allow people to plan ahead. We are looking at ways to improve progression within the club, i.e. get people out on more spins, and have a regular social spin.
3. Kids: The committee have been working away to get the Club in compliance with Child Protection/Safe Guarding policies and Roo (club Child Protection Officer) has been Garda vetted and completed the Safe Guarding course. Now that this work is underway, we plan on having regular session/spins for kids once allowed/the weather improves.
4. Skills: We are looking at how we can support skill development within the club... early days on this so if you have any ideas post up here.
5. We'll look at the possibility of organizing an event (CX Race?) later in the year. Ideally, we would do this in a private venue to cut down on the marshaling requirement - so keep you eye's peeled for suitable venues and get in contact with the committee with any suggestions.
Finally, if there are other things that you would like to suggest, post below and we'll see what we can do.
Cheers,
Dave
