VCGH Bottles Anyone?

posted by vcgh captain [ updated ]

Adrian Cockle has suggested the idea of VCGH water bottles and has drawn up a possible design as well as this quick poll to find out whether there would be enough interest to meet minimum order quantities. Please take 30 seconds to fill it in if you're interested (this is the same poll that appeared in the newsletter last Friday, so you don't have to fill it out again if you've already done so).

Depending on quantities, prices would be between £7.50 and £11 each for a Specialized Purist 22oz bottle.

(Only the orange & white stripes would be printed).

*UPDATED WITH AGM DOCUMENTS*

Dear VCGH Members,

This is the 21 days' notification required in the Club Rules of our intention to hold an online vote for the official AGM business this year, given the impossibility of meeting in person due to Coronavirus restrictions. The AGM vote will mainly relate to resignations and appointments of club officers, as well as a view on our financial activity of the past year, but there will also be a small number of other decisions to vote on.

AGM Agenda (linking to associated documents).

All documents relating to the AGM vote are linked to the Agenda above. Please read through the documentation and let us know if there is any additional business you would like to propose. The vote itself will be an online form, and will be open on Monday 27-Thursday 30 April, after which we will close the form and publish the outcomes.

If anyone has any questions about this process, or would like to discuss club business with any of our Exec Team in advance of the vote, please don't hesitate to get in touch with Lara (Captain), Mark (treasurer), or the whole Exec Team.

British Cycling South East Interclub Competition on Zwift

posted 2 Apr 2020, 08:48 by vcgh captain

Introducing: BC South East Interclub Competition on Zwift

Dear Club Secretary,

We’d be very grateful if you could share this announcement with your club members please…

For all of you on Zwift, the national delivery team at British Cycling (BC) has set up a number races/rides/meet ups and workouts. They have also added a filter so that you can easily see the BC events coming up

The South East Regional staff team is taking this one step further and running an interclub competition much like our colleagues in South Region. This is good honest fun, and we hope it will keep some competitive fire going until we can race outdoors again.

In order to compile an accurate set of results and standings we’re encouraging you to register for a free account on Zwift Power to get your results/points.
You can be a member of multiple teams and the primary one to join is of course your own club but also request you join BC South East setup by BCSE Regional Events Officer, Phil Webber.
Using a combination of Zwift Power and surname formatting in Zwift itself, Phil/BC can filter the riders and clubs to create BC South East points/rankings.

The suggested format for your profile is as follows:

“FIRST NAME | SURNAME (YOUR CLUB NAME/BCSE)”

e.g., PHIL WEBBER (CCR/BCSE)

We have created a dedicated BC South East Regional Facebook group to publish results and let you know which events we’ll be taking points from.
The first pilot event will be the British Cycling race on Zwift on Tuesday 7 April @ 19:30 and results for A,B,C and D’s will be included.

Finally, if anybody would like to volunteer as a local Zwift champion within their club or community, please contact Philwebber@britishcycling.org.uk

COVID-19 Updated Advice

posted 18 Mar 2020, 03:44 by vcgh captain [ updated 18 Mar 2020, 03:44 ]

Due to the updated government directive this week to limit unnecessary social contact, and following subsequent advice from British Cycling and the CTT, Velo Club Godalming Haslemere is suspending all club rides and organised events with immediate effect.

This applies to all club rides organised through our website calendar and Facebook Group, as well as any other group events (pub socials, committee meetings and AGM, Club time trials (April and May events cancelled), Jets training sessions, day trips, spin sessions etc.) between now and the end of April.

The VCGH Exec Team will continue to review the situation and will update the members if any new information affects this plan. Meanwhile we will also aim to publish a series of Zwift group rides for anybody who has access to Zwift and would like to ride with other club members. We will also look at the possibility of an online vote for the AGM official business (appointing of officers etc.) More details to follow.

There is no current UK ban on cycling, and in fact the Government recommends taking exercise, so members are encouraged to get out on their bikes if they can, while respecting the Government’s advice.

Stay healthy everyone, and keep in touch.

AGM

posted 4 Mar 2020, 06:44 by vcgh captain [ updated 10 Mar 2020, 09:11 ]

The Annual General Meeting of VCGH will be held at an accessible venue (to be confirmed shortly) on Monday 20 April (18:30-23:00) and followed by a club dinner, probably buffet style as per last year. All members are invited and encouraged to attend. An agenda and financial report will be posted on the website in good time so that you have a chance to look through beforehand.

You can sign up your intention to attend on the calendar posting, but there will be a separate form for the dinner/AGM as soon as the venue has been confirmed.

Any questions to execteam@vcgh.co.uk
