  • Session schedule: Monday 8th May is the start of the new 7pm session replacing the Monday 8pm session. Session schedule to Sept published on website. The process for scheduling to be discussed at AGM as it is a big, complicated job that doesn’t work well at the moment.

  • Go Tri: entries going well, discounts applied to encourage 15-19 year olds to enter. Add code for volunteers to get free entry.
  • Coast 2 coast: scheduled for 24-25th June. All paid up now. Email all members as more can take part but they would have to arrange their own transport to Whitehaven and accommodation in Alston.
  • Clothing: bobble hats ordered at previous cost £15 each. Cost will go up on next order as set up fees will need to be applied as they have stopped making frozen wasp design. Sizing charts required on website and ensure information is correct for people wanting to order. Still having issues with Viga and need to look at alternates

AOB: healthy finances and we will look at purchasing a new bigger flag for XC
