Hey everyone! With the first snow of the season it’s safe to say that rides here on out will be really rare and likely be wrapped up until next year. With that in mind, it is time to set the date for our AGM. Our AGM will be held on November 24, 2023, at 6:30PM, with official proceedings at 7:00PM. We do not have a venue secured yet however wanted to make sure the date was saved. As usual, the AGM is catered, with beverages provided by Blindman and Costco. Keep your eyes peeled for an update with location in the future. Our AGM provides an opportunity to us to present critical decisions to the club, as well as elect our executive positions. As it is an odd year, the VP and Women’s Cycling Coordinator is up for election. More on the positions here: https://www.ertc.org/the-executive-team
As usual, this comes with our yearly satisfaction survey here: https://forms.gle/txjKsCYtPbVyWRZj9 The form will ask you for an email but this is to ensure that you can only submit the survey once. I do not see your email, and the survey is anonymous. While you probably hear this a ton, we really do take the time to review all the answers and think about tweaks and changes to the club we can do for next year.
This is also the time to start thinking about becoming a ride leader for next year. You don’t have to make a decision now but if you found yourself coming regularly to rides, or love the group you were riding with, why not become a ride leader and be rewarded? We buy our ride leaders kit, as well as other perks. There is no requirement to be fast or to be in front, but there is a requirement for you to be willing to know where you are going (GPS is allowed, of course) and be willing to represent the club, its values, and communicate the intent of the ride to it’s participants in a clear manner.
