Coordinator: BARRY MASON Treasurer: HUGH BOLTON Secretary: ELEANOR PERCER Newsletter Editor: SUE RICHARDS Rides Coordinator: PETER CORKILL Webmaster: KIT REYNOLDS Sustrans liaison: MICHAEL WOLF Planning officer: JAMES BARBER (& ALASTAIR HANTON) Press officer: SARAH GREEN
Other AGM business:
Treasurer’s report: healthy year, ending with £250 unrestricted funds in hand; full report available from BARRY/HUGH
Coordinator’s report: 2003-04 has been “a year of restructuring and consolidation” (management speak, Barry?!); some brilliant projects, especially Rockingham and Burgess Pk; also good, consistent rides programme; but disappointing amount of local work and fewer new faces… Gearing up for 2005…
Dates of future AGMs: Will now be held in Octobers to give the committee good time to plan and run Bike Week and Summer campaigns etc; the next AGM will be Oct 2004 (ie this cttee is serving a special 6-month term)
