Our AGM this year was a super-special one, celebrating the wonderful support we’ve received from Ray Wood and his wife Di Wood, for an impressive 17 years as Club President. Ray hands over this role to Alan Jacob, a treasured and active long-standing Alton CC member – still cycling in his 80s!
The Chair of Alton CC, Guy Henshaw, also stepped down after 5 years in the role, in which he’s driven a lot of positive changes and handed over to Becci May, our first female Chair. Guy was thanked for his leadership, energy and dedication to the club. Becci quoted “Our cycling club is a sociable cycling club, and I’m sure being the new Chair will be fun, building on the ideas and interests of our members and attracting new members to join us too”.
With fff beer generously provided by Graham Trott, we also thanked our sponsors, Owens Cycles and Hi-Tech Heating, and welcomed our new sponsor Ventrus Networks through our new club member Andy Chapman. It was a great evening and some new ideas were also shared by club members for us to take forward in 2025! One exciting change is that we now have a new Racing Secretary on our Committee, Simon Potter, so we’re looking forward to Alton CC being active in racing events in 2025!
