Club Night – AGM

This month it’s the section AGM and we’d appreciate your attendance on Wednesday the 11th October, at the Halsey Arms. This is a necessary mechanism to help ensure the continued smooth running of your section and presents an ideal opportunity for you to ask the committee any questions you might have and indeed, the chance to help make Dorset section even better.

Your committee are always working hard on your behalf to provide runs, club events and shows for you to enjoy, but we are always open to new ideas. To that end, at the AGM we will be electing (or in some cases, re-electing) a Chairperson, Secretary, Treasurer and members of the committee, both existing and new. Should you feel able, we would welcome new faces around the committee table (which only meets typically twice, or three times a year), to help refresh our thinking and plans.

If being on a committee seems too daunting, perhaps you might volunteer to help organise one of our many riding events, or help assist on the day with our major commitments, such as the GIANTS run, or Bristol show; we are always happy to see a volunteer, as opposed to volunteering someone! Prospective run organisers are especially welcome, I’d like to see at least two new ROs every year; people have different ideas of what constitutes a ‘good’ run, be it faster or slower roads, over a longer or shorter distance, with cake stops, or without (the horror), it’s up to you. Experienced run organisers would be more than happy to help you find your feet and you will be making a difference for your friends at section level. Just ask me at the AGM and we can take it from there.

Please do your best to attend, it’s YOUR section, after all.

See you on the 11th.

With warm wishes

Paul Miles , Chair, Dorset section VMCC
