The Committee would like to thank Mike Wenn and Dave Patmore-Hill for their hard work and commitment in steering the club in the right direction over the last few years.
Both stepped down at the recent AGM, Mike from his post as Chairman, and Dave came off the Committee and reduced his role from Head Coach to that of Coaching Advisor.
Both Mike and Dave have recently increased their time at work in order to further their professional careers and with living on the outskirts of our region, have felt that they need to pass the running of your club to others with more time to commit.
Our thanks go to both of them. Mike came on-board and sorted the new website for us, that you see today. He also implemented a sound vision for the club and sourced some new kit that most of us wear today. He fulfilled his role as Chairman and previous role as Racing Secretary with energy and enthusiasm and understood the issues involved with clarity and purpose. We look forward to his continued input into our club, with Christina now at the helm.
Dave has been around for the last half-a-dozen years as both the Junior Coach and Head Coach. He and Wendy established the Junior Section that thrives today, with Dave sourcing some great funding that allowed us to buy a number of Junior bikes etc. He set the agenda for the senior coaching, from before the Novice weekend at Stanground in 2009 to the current time. He has been a mainstay on the Committee, contributing much to the development of the club and has always set the bar high. Dave will continue with his coaching role, but has decided to come off the Committee due to work commitments.
Our thanks go to both, although we still expect to see them at training sessions going forward.
