Welcome to our October update & call for assistance in 2021
28 Oct 2020
Dear members
Welcome to our October update & call for assistance in 2021
The main items are:
-
The executives proposal for AGM
-
Desperate need for new Race Secretary/Handicapper & Vice president
-
Club ride 29 November
-
First Aid Training
-
Racing coordinator
It is an understatement to say this year has been different. With Covid 19 we have had to seriously curtail the clubs activities. We were unable to hold our annual Easter Ride & regular group rides on the racing front 8 of 12 race days had to be cancelled. Once Covid 19 restrictions were eased the first of our four remaining race dates was dedicated to the juniors event run by LACC .The last 3 races were fantastic events with large fields.
Proposal for AGM
We have decided not to tempt fate and organize an end of year social dinner, which usually includes the AGM & presentation night.
In its place, as we need to give members information, we will put out an information pack before 14 November.
As part of the AGM club positions are up for election. We are looking for new people in all roles even if people have indicated they will stand again. Its simple just drop me your nomination at secretary.parramattacycling@gmail.com (Your name, Position you would like, and why) keep it short.

As we missed our annual Easter Ride we will have a ride on a similar route. The proposed date is Sunday 29 November. Stay tuned for more information.
First Aid Training
Whether on the road, bush, track racing training or social accidents happen and first aid knowledge can save you mates life. The club will pay for your training. All we ask is that you assist on 1 race day at during the race season at Oakville. Places are limited so nominate early to

Racing Coordinator
Parramatta Cycling Club has a proud racing history producing world class racers. We would like to bring back these days and are looking for one or more motivated persons to coordinate racing & training to get Parramatta back to the top.
