It was good to see new members Phil Walker and Steve Evans at the AGM
too, contributing some useful input. There was some useful discussion about
communication between members to keep everyone in touch about what’s
happening from week to week, including race reports etc. Our Twitter feed is
now gathering pace on the front page of the website after being a little static
for a while. Also, our new Club Captain and our webmaster Mike Peel have
added a Strava app to it as well, at delaunecc.org/strava.htm. Christian and
Richard at the head of the leaderboard so far.
Richard is putting together a programme of sportives for members to target
so we can all ride together at the same ones.
The vote of the day was for the large £25,000 donation to Herne Hill
Velodrome, and I am so delighted that this was passed – the meeting was
unanimous in approving this, with just two postal votes against. The benefits
of this are huge for HHVT Trust and for the South London cycling community
as a whole. It reflects our lifelong relationship with the Track, which first
opened in 1891, just 2 years after members of the De Laune Institute founded
their cycling section. It’s a very proud moment for the Club, as it looks forward
to a strong future of cycling at the Velodrome.
At the time of writing I’m still trying to pin down the manager for our monthly
meetings there, but I’ll keep you posted!
