Portsmouth CTC AGM 2025

We will be holding the AGM at Bedhampton Hall. We are hoping that this will be an opportunity for you to come along and see how the club is run and ask any questions you may have.

It will also be a chance to see cycling friends and have a social get-together with a fish and chip supper and some drinks. There will be a “table-top” sale for any cycling clothing, accessories or other cycling stuff that you no longer want but others might.

Dee Warner has agreed to arrange the fish and chips order this year:

Prices

Regular Haddock and chips £10.80
Regular Cod and chips £10.70
Battered sausage and chips £5.70
Veggie burger and chips £8.20
OAP Haddock or Cod and chips (smaller portions) £7.50

There's no need to book attendance at the AGM.

Please let Dee Warner know your meal selection by Thursday 17^th April.

Reports at the AGM

Motion from Ian Hewitt

Seconded by Wilf Forrow.

Ian proposes that the committee:

• Review our existing guidelines for group cycling to see if they need updating particularly in the wake of the recent changes in the highway code.
• Update the rules if required.
• Find effective ways in which all our riders can readily learn and remember them.

Ian is aware that is already happening, but would like the opportunity to discuss at the AGM.
