Hello fellow Club Members,
I hope you are all well and finding some time to get on your bike!
We are now five months into our ride calendar and I would just like to give you a quick update from the Committee.
Our regional AGM was held on 23 January and all Committee Members were reelected unopposed with the addition of Ed Pley. Thanks Ed for coming on board! The Committee Member list can be found on the Contacts tab on Audax WA's website.
I would like to thank all the Committee Members for their time and effort to keep our region running smoothly. The Committee's aim last year was to increase our media presence, revamp the newsletter, add more ride options and in doing so hopefully increasing rider participation and our membership.
Thanks to Julie (with Glenn's & Jo's help) for updating and maintaining our Facebook pages and reintroducing the newsletter.
Our ROs have kindly added more options to calendar rides. This approach has been well received ... Thanks ROs.
I am also pleased to mention our membership numbers are up. I would like to welcome the following new members who have joined since November - Dave Watson, Adrian Rakimov, Tim Robertson, Tim Pezet, John Wheelhouse & Stan Pennors. Welcome guys ... see you on a ride!
Thanks & safe pedaling
Gary
