The chosen design has been sent out for tenders from Gomms and another supplier. It is not intended to have new National 200 medals every year. It was also noted that new designs for our standard medals are needed for next season. Item 3c Deleqates The Committee welcomed David Thornton as Assistant Validation Delegate, Len DeVos as Assistant International Events Delegate and Ray Smith as Assistant Membership Delegate. The Committee formally approved Tim Wainwright as Assistant Editor Delegate. It was discussed and approved that a Minutes Secretary Delegate be advertised for in Arrivee. The need for the Delegate posts to be advertised from now on is to allay any suspicion that the Committee is operating as a totalitarian organisation. The rise in number of delegates was noted. (It was pointed out by the Chair, and accepted by those deleqates present, that delegates have no voting rights at committee meetings, though their verbal input was very welcome, helpful, and occasionally innovative). A possible increase in the number of committee members was discussed, i.e. Regional Representatives and a possible Systems Manager to ensure maximum use, compatibility and availability of AUK's hardware and software. Item 3d The previous item re delegates, led into a discussion of the desirability of all Committee Members in having an understudy for their respective jobs. Not so much to be groomed as successors, but to elnsure the continued smooth running of AUK if anything untoward happened. This mainly applied to Secretary, Treasurer and Correspondant who should give the idea some thought. Items 5 and 6 were brought forward. Item 5 Date, Time and Venue of next Committee Meeting 10am on Sunday 25th June at Keith's house. Item 6 A.O.B. There were complaints about different styles of official notepaper, appertaining mainly to the Home Events Secretary. It was thought that his software couldn't produce "the eagle". To be further inquired into. 2) The possibility of introducing a Vice Presidency post, with Mick Latimer in mind, is to be formalised for AGM approval by Noel Simpson. 3) A 1975 ACP Placette (yearly handbook) was produced complete with a photo of our Barry Parsloe for inclusion in the Chairman's AUK Library. Efforts are to be made to acquire a complete set. A short break was then held . Item 4 Review of current functioninq and future development of AUK The Chairman pointed out that the need for this review was because of some Committee Members' workload, and perhaps a feeling that AUK was possibly stagnating, though you could say the increase in work was due to steady growth He thought after close study of all the Policy Documents written by the Committee and Delegates that four main areas possibly needed decisions made. These were:- 1. Current constitutional procedures 2. Administrative difficulties 3. Future strategy, aims and ideas 4. Honorariums To save further lengthy and possibly acrimonious debate, the Chairman summed-up the main common points in each of the areas. 1) We as a Committee carry out our constitutional remit as per Para 3, 4, 5 & 10 of the AUK Constitution quite well. Perhaps we could do more "to promote the growth of AUK". However we must be careful that any decisions or directions we feel need to be taken do not conflict too drastically with the present Constitution and Regulations as I doubt whether the hardcore, AGM attending, Membership would accept really radical change. Nobody from the floor seriously disagreed with these assumptions. 2) The administrative difficulties were: a) The Membership Secretary who is now aided by Ray Smith (see Item 3b/l). We should wait for a report later this year on ways to ease this task. But Ray is sure that with a few changes they can cope with a reasonable increase in membership. b) The Validation Secretary with his two delegates now feels he can cope, especially as there is no need for the time consuming job of all cards to be checked for correct initial, name and club, etc. He is sure they can cope with a gradual rise in Validations with no problems, and that the computer input is now satisfactory and "applying" for champion-ships etc. is only a back up. c) The Magazine Editor, with Tim now doing one Arrivee this year and possibly two next, says things are manageable and we are looking forward to Tim's "Arrivee". The inside will be completely his own, but the cover will be on a par with previous issues. d) The Brevet Card Secretary's job was a lot more labour intensive than some Committee Members realised and no ideas were offered that could ease his task, nor would any realistic expense. This is the main area that still needs to be explored to lighten officials' workload. The Chairman offered to take the job of short run duplication and distribution of documents off his hands, to no avail. 3) Future strateqy, aims and ideas You all had many ideas and the Chairman pulled out a few major ones for decision making, that several of you have mentioned. Did we think AUK should be vigorously promoted in an effort to increase membership, bearing in mind that the new AUK would be a totally different club to what we know now. Raising the issues of paid employees, very large fields of riders with a much more professional organised approach needed to events. With certain police interest and interference and even possible legislation to control road riding. Another club, rivalling the CTC and BCF, making "one voice" for cycling even more remote that at present. Or should we decrease/restrict membership, after all members who don't ride (70% of ours) cost us money. Restricting membership to active randonneurs could create an elitism but, providing the members still organise sufficient events, with possible financial assistance to organisers, we would still be satisfying our aims. Or shall we keep things as they are, not going all out to gain members, with perhaps the increase in membership fee to put a Few off. Both the Membership Secretary and Validation Secretary think they can now handle reasonable foreseeable increases. A vote was taken and the overwhelming result was to keep things as they are for the time being. It was decided to go out instead to promote the enjoyment side of our rides. Other ideas to be investigated further are: A possible mini series of several 200K (DC, FM, WD, AE, N.200 etc.). A lower level "Super Randonneur" series at local locations. An increase in interesting classic style Permanents and some easy shorter Randonneurs in mid season. We must try and get a safe (for the riders and for ourselves as organisers) Juvenile series that is acceptable to the AGM. The extra committee meeting is to formalise these and other ideas so that at the September meeting we can get the exact wording sorted out for the AGM proposals. 4) Honorarium The question of an increase in the number of paid Honararia was discussed and the Committee decided that, funds allowing, the Membership Secretary, the Home Events Secretary and the Magazine Editor should be given help. A general all round "out of pocket expenses" allowance of £100 each was also discussed without cominq to a firm decision. Treasurer to provide a summary for each committee member as to claims. The meeting closed at 17.20 88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 From: Peter Hansen. AUDAX UNITED KINGDOM M E M O R A N D U M 7th. July 1995. To: All Committee Members and Delegates. Minutes of the Committee meeting in York - 10:OOhrs. 25/06/95. Committee Members and Delegates present: D.K.Benton,(elected to chair meeting in absence of Chairman), D.Patey, B.Morris, PCoulson, SSimpson, B.Mawson, F.Cooke, D.Peet, D.Whitney, D.Lewis, R.Smith and P.Hansen. Item 1. Apologies. JRichardson (Chairman), N.Simpson, B.Steven, B.Ferguson, D.Thornton, T.Wainright, L.De Vos. Item 2. Minutes of the meeting held on 04/02/95 were accepted as correct. Item 3. Matters arising from the minutes: 3/13d. Transport - No arrangements to he made. Action: Secre&zry to thank volunteers who responded to request for assistance published in Arrivee. 3/17b. AUK Stand ~ Some Comnittw members who have now seen the stand felt that. it was of an acceptable standard but that the print quality of the display photographs could be improved. Action: DXBenton and D.Peet to investigate costs. 3c. - Delegates. In considering the distinction between Committee posts and Delegate posts the Committee decided that when posts were created to assist individual Committee members overcome administrative problems arising from an increase in the VOLUME of their work, these should be DELEGATE posts. Where a post was created to deal with an area of POLICY not within the remit of a Committee member, then this should be a COMMITTEE MEMBER post. On applying that principle it was agreed that the following proposals be put to the AGM. a). the AAA Delegate post to become a Committee Member post. b.) a new Committee post of Systems Manager be created to provide advice and support to the Committee and individual Committee members and Delegates on purchasing and operating decisions in respect of present and future AUK computer and communication hardware and software. Nominations with seconders were received at the meeting in respect of Dave Lewis for AAA post and Francis Cooke in respect of the Systems Manager post. D.Patey to advise the Secretary of the general responsibilities of the latter post in order that outline notification of these proposals and invitation for other nominations can be included in the August Arrivee. P.Hansen to prepare a draft AGM item. Action: LkPatey and P.Hansen. c.) Minutes Secretary Delegate: - Vera Friend has volunteered to undertake this task and the Committee were ple.ased to endorse her appointment. P.Hansen will discuss the possibility of an “understudy” aspect of the post with her. Item 4. Correspondence: a. The various points raised in P.Coulson’s letter were debated and the majority of the Committee agreed that although it was desirable that AUK should aspire to all events in the Calendar achieving the quality of the acknowledged “best events and practice” this should be done by persuasion and exhortation rather than by regulation and enforcement. It was felt that the concept of “quality” was so subjective as to be impossible to define and that regulatory attempts to do so would fail and might well hinder new and desirable initiatives. It was generally agreed that “market forces” would eventually weed out those events which riders themselves felt did not give them value for money. It was agreed that the Events Secretary: 1). ask all Organisers on registering their events to provide a brief summary of what they are offering e.g. what they are providing in terms of route, facilities at controls, food etc. 2). attempt to formulate a system of classifying events in terms such as Superior, Standard, Simple. 3). formulate an Event Organisers Handbook. 4). inform the Membership of these proposals via the August Arrivee. Action: P.Coulson b. The Committee regretted the circumstances leading to Tim Wainwright’s letter of complaint and recognised that there had been deficiencies in relation to the route sheet and description. However the Committee also recognised the general high quality of the facilities offered by the event in question and were of the opinion that it was not unreasonable to expect that participating riders would consult maps in advance of events and appreciate the degree of difficulty inherent in some areas of the country. The Events Secretary is bringing the difficulties to the attention of the event’s new organisers and the AAA Delegate was authorised to decide the new AAA table for the next Committee in order that Organisers have clear guidance for events in 1996. The Secretary to reply to T.Wainright. Action: R Coulson, D.Lewis, P.Hansen. c. The letter from Kevin Presland was noted and it was agreed that the Directory of Organisers would not be included in future editions of the Handbook. Action: F. Cooke. d. The April report from F.Cooke was accepted and the Committee thanked him for the work he had done in designing and arranging for the supply of the AUK/PBP jerseys. Interest was expressed in considering proposals for an AUK jersey in similar materials. Action: F.Cooke. e. R-Smith answered members detailed questions arising from B.Steven’s April report which was accepted. f. Copies of the interesting archive material from Ivan Jeckell will be sent to the Chairman and B.Morris. Action: PZansen. g. The Committee agreed with F.Cooke’s proposal that a small group comprised of DKBenton, B.Ferguson, S.Simpson, B.Morris, F.Cooke and P.Hansen should consider proposals for a revised AUK logo, which while retaining the “bird” in some, form would more clearly reflect the cycling activities of AUK. F.Cooke was asked to circulate initial ideas. Comments by members of the group to be sent directly back to Francis with copies to all the other group members. A report to be presented to the September Committee. Action: F.Cooke and working group. h. Correspondence concerning a British Legion fund raising ride were noted. Item 5. Membership Administration and Item 9. AUK Handbook. The administrative processes relating to these two items overlap to such an extent that they were discussed together and the decisions are recorded accordingly. a. A letter of resignation has been received from B.Steven to take effect w.e.f. the AGM. The Committee understood the reason for this decision but welcomed Ben’s offer to serve as Membership Delegate. An item announcing Ben’s resignation will be published in the August Arrivee and inviting nominations. R.Smith was proposed by S.Simpson and Seconded by B.Mawson. b. The interim report on Membership Procedures prepared by B-Steven and R.Smith and the Handbook options presented by FCooke were considered and the Committee made the following decisions: 1. Membership renewals to go to R.Smith. 2. “rolling membership” will not be implemented. 3. Although the present format has not been a success, an annual edition of the handbook for all members is required. 4. From 1996 the Handbook will be published annually and printed in A5 stapled booklet format. This printing will replace the annual Arrivee Extra. 5. From 1996 the Calendar to be included in the Handbook and the names of organising clubs will be included in the event entries. 6. The combined handbook/calendar will be sent to all new members and also to all existing members at renewal time with a loose leaf renewal slip even if renewal fee has not been received. It is anticipated that the number of renewals will be increased and that non-renewers will be identified by the Membership Secretary later in the year so that they do not benefit from a free handbook/calendar in subsequent years. A working figure of 3000 print run was agreed. The Treasurer to consider and report back to the next Committee on a proposal to increase the membership fee to !ZlO and the renewal fee to c7.50 to cover costs. 7. Membership cards will continue to be provided within the following broad principles: the current plastic holders will be sent with the handbook/calendar; membership details will be printed on the address label on the cover of the subsequent edition of Arrivee, members will be asked to retain and insert the label in the plastic folder themselves. Action: B.Steven/RSmith, F.Cooke, P.Coulson and S.Simpson to jointly develop the detailed process described above; D&Ben&m to examine fees. Item 6. Development of the enjoyment side of our rides. The proposals put forward in the paper from FCooke were discussed and 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 and 11 were welcomed and accepted in principle. There was discussion , , , , , , , , about lowering the threshold for Populaire events to below 5Okm., the rationale being that it would enable organisers to run a wider range of supporting events offering safe entry level routes and distances to families with young children. This is is a very common and popular practice in France and is already done outside our regulations by at least one Organise and has proven popular. There seemed to be a concensus that the idea be pursued as it can be seen as promoting long distance cycling. The Secretary will prepare draft regulations in respect of all of the above proposals incorporating the detailed amendments arising from the Committee discussion for the September meeting. Proposal 12 - Recumbent Championship was not accepted. Proposals 9, 13 and 14 are held over for another Agenda. Item 7. Honoraria. The Committee agreed that the award of Honoraria should reflect the nature and level of concrete facilities provided by Committee Members rather than hours occupied in Committee tasks. Examples agreed to be eligible were the allocation of household rooms for the AUK equipment and papers necessary to carry out Committee duties. The discussion was broadened to consider the definition of eligible expenses and rates. It was agreed that an expectation and practice of not claiming expenses should not be allowed to develop and that as a matter of principle Committee members should claim expenses. If members wished to subsequently make a donation back to AUK funds that could be done. The Treasurer is preparing a paper on this matter for the next Committee and will have regard to the Committee’s views. Action: DJLBenton. Item 8. Systems Manager. The discussion and decision on this item was dealt with under Item 3, Matters Arising. Item 9. AUK Handbook. This Item was taken together with Item 6. Item 10. Medal Design and Colours 1996 - 1999. After full consideration of the medal design options put forward by F.Cooke the Committee voted to: a. accept the “Paul Denny 1992” design for the AUK 1996 - 1999 medal series. b. to ask F-Cooke to investigate whether AUK could adapt the new ACP SR medal design to replace the current AUK SR medal design. The new medal should be able to take date bars. Action: F.Cooke. c. The question of Colours was deferred to the September meeting. Item 11. A.O.B. a. P.Coulson sought a decision about the date and locations of the 1996 Northern and Southern Reunions. It was agreed that the timings of the reunions should be in line with 1995. The first Committee meeting in 1966 is to be held with the Northern reunion. Youlgrave can be used only if a better venue cannot be identified. The Ridgeway Y.H. was agreed as suitable for the Southern reunion. Action: P.Coufson. b. D.Patey gave an early apology for his absence at the next meeting and stated that L.De Vos would be attending in his place. c. A vote of thanks was given by all present at the meeting to Keith and Ann for allowing the meeting to take place in their home and for the super food and wine provided for lunch. Date, time and venue of the next meeting. The next meeting will be held “down South” on 23rd. September. A venue near to a railway station was felt most suitable, Streatley-on-Thames was mentioned as also convenient for those wishing to ride the “Up the Downs 200” the following day, failing that the Ridgeway, Action: RHansen to investigate the possibilities.
