  TO ALL MEMBERS Many of you will know that after many years of being Chair of KDCS I have passed the baton on to Anne Brookes. I would like to thank all of you for both your personal support, and for keeping our cycle club active for the past 30 years. The time is now right for a fresh pair of hands to take over the role and I would like to thank Anne for volunteering for the task. I’m sure Anne will bring her considerable professional skills and her cycling knowledge and  experience to the post and I know you will support her in taking our club forward.   Thank you once again and I look forward to seeing many of you on future rides. Steve

MINUTES OF THE KDCS COMMITTEE MEETING HELD ON 26/02/2024

  M INUTES OF THE KDCS COMMITTEE MEETING HELD ON  26/02/2024 Attendees: Steve Warner, Anne Brookes, Brian Woodward, Dave Wills and Will Beck. Apologies sent from Martin Slader. FINANCE REPORT Martin as treasurer had already circulated the accounts covering years 2019 to 2024. Our current surplus stands at £245.95. In the financial year 2022/23 we had expenditure of £130 which included the affiliation fee of £88 to Cycling UK, and a payment of £42 towards the Christmas Social Event. We still remain in a healthy financial position at present and have sufficient funds to meet our forecast 2024/25 commitments but recognised that we will need to ask members for voluntary payments as we have done in the past if we are to meet our commitments next year. MEMBERSHIP UPDATE Anne reported that we have had 7 new members this year (3 road and 4 MTB) but to her knowledge very few of the new road riders had been on any of our road rides. 57 members are on the road riders e-mail contact list ...
