Whittlesea Cycling Club

Nicola & Sienna collecting the $1000 Grant

We received a $1000 Community Development Grant from Whittlesea Council on 4 Sep 2012, towards starting the Whittlesea Cycling Club.



Objectives
The Club's main objectives will be:
1. Organise and run cycling events in Whittlesea (Road, Mountain & Cyclocross)
2. Encourage members of the community to undertake cycling for recreation and exercise at club level
3. Assist in training programmes for personal cycling development with mentoring system for beginners




Events
We hope to arrange cyclocross events during Winter and Road Crits during Summer, with both day and twilight racing. Crit course will hopefully be dedicated course away from traffic. Also looking at TT and team events too. We hope to cater for beginners and women too.

Club Affiliations
The club will become an incorporated association shortly (application in process).
Once we have 10 paid members we will also apply to become a Cycling Victoria Affiliated Club.

Club Committee Members
We are seeking committee members and volunteers to assist with the running of the Club.  It would mean a once a month commitment to meet up, clubroom at the moment will be at Bike n Bean, South Morang store.

First meeting will be Tues 11 Sep 2012 at 7.30pm at Bike n Bean store, 797 Plenty Rd, South Morang. Please RSVP to info@bikenbean.com.au to let us know you are coming.

The first meeting will discuss the rules of the club, plus nominate positions for: President, Vice-President, Treasurer and Secretary. Plus any other positions that people would like to help out with: Marketing, Events, Female Sub Committee etc.  We will also discuss the first events that we would like to get going.  Bike n Bean will support the club, but we can not run it soley due to other commitments.

Remember the more you input into the Club, the better it can be, so please consider joining the Committee
