Notice is hereby given of the

DISTRICT GENERAL MEETING

To be held on

Saturday 26th November 2011 at 2:00p.m.

At St. Paul’s Methodist Church Hall, Woodfield Road, Northgate, Crawley.

N.B. This is the same venue as for the District Annual General Meeting.

This meeting is for club delegates to instruct the District representatives on how we want them to vote on the motions on the National Agenda which is available here.

In short the motions for consideration are (full wording in the agenda - read the whole thing through and challenge my interpretations!!!):

6. Clubs will be deemed to have resigned from CTT if their annual subscription remains unpaid at 15th November (currently 31st December).

7. Change definition of an Interclub to allow more than 4 clubs to participate.

8. Allow riders to ride for an Armed Forces Team parallel to their first claim club - someone mentioned that the rules currently allow this.

9. Rewrite rules on double entry of events to prevent request of early/late rides to allow it - again, technically I believe the rules already cover this.

10."A competitor must not enter an event more than once with the aim of undertaking multiple rides within the said event." - presumably this is to prevent (or will apply to) riders entering the same event twice, for example once on a TT bike and again on a road bike - as seems to happen in several undersubscribed events in this district.

11. "Every competitor must start with a rear light fitted to the machine in a position visible to following road users and active whilst the machine is in use."

12. Change helmet regulation to encompass all riders in all events - not just Juniors/Youths.

13. "A club is free to choose its prize list but a condition of one ride–one prize, is not permitted."

14. Change regulations on Tandems to allow them to be spread among a field - not sure if this is already allowed, because it has happened.

15. Completely re-write the rules on Course Measurement.

16. Change to National Championship conditions - primarily in respect of maximum number of competitors in the Hill Climb.

17. I think implements a maximum gear restriction on Juniors in GHS Championships.

CTT Affiliation Due

As of 1st of October 2011 the club affiliations to CTT were due, as there have been mixups in recent years where clubs have claimed not to have received the notification that the affiliation is due, here is a gentle reminder.

Cost is £30 for non-sponsored clubs, plus an additional £50 for those that are sponsored.

Contact your District Treasurer to pay - in this case Mike Cross (see handbook or Yellow Book for contact details).

Renewal forms available here: as PDF or Word Document - the Word Document being the most up-to-date form, and one that can be filled in on the computer.

Any clubs not having renewed by 31st December 2011 will be deemed to have resigned from CTT and a further £20 rejoining fee will then be payable in addition to the above fees.

Make sure that your club has renewed in good time, and that you are listed in the 2012 Handbook as being an affiliated club.
