The deadline has passed for the submission of Nominations and Motions. Nominations received are as follows:

Chairman & Membership Secretary: John Tranter
Secretary: Nicole Pethybridge
Treasurer: Roger Postbeschild
Rides Secretary: Jon Townsin
Publicity: Steve Boreham
Webmaster: David Smith
General Committee Members: Steve Swanton & Karen Townsin

Motions received as follows:

Motion 1
This meeting applauds the Committee, past and present, for their efforts in making this a successful, inclusive and sociable cycling group, allowing us to enjoy many rides of different types, in the good company of other members.
Proposer: Robin Tucker
Seconded by: David Yearley

Motion 2
This meeting should consider changing the Club name as a result of the national re-branding - earlier in 2016 CTC changed its name to Cycling UK. In line with this national change CTC Wantage need to consider whether to remove the CTC element of their current name and adopt a new name more in line with the national change.

The nominated options are
1. CTC Wantage (no change)
2. Cycling UK Wantage (the default for new Cycling UK local member clubs adopted recently by the new club in Bicester, for example)
3. Wantage CC
4. Vale of White Horse CC

These should be presented for a club vote.
Proposer: John Tranter
Seconder: Nicole Pethybridge

Motion 3
This meeting asks that the Committee should have representation from each of the ride groupings (1*, 2*, 3*, 4*, off-road).
Proposer: Paul Jarvis
Seconder: Andy Cowan

It would be great to see as many of you as possible for what promises to be a great social evening, including the ever-popular club awards and a multimedia reflection of the years' activities!

Report:
A very well attended Supper and AGM. Good animated participation from all with comprehensive reports from the Chairman and Publicity Officer as well as from the outgoing Rides Secretary and treasurer.

The shirt designs were an interesting way to demonstrate the name options with the club taking two votes, the second removing the two lesser options and an AGM vote between the final two options Wantage CC and Cycling UK Wantage. The later edged it on the final vote - more details to follow.

The other motions, one to thank the committee and one regarding representation of all ride levels resulted in Paul Jarvis being added to the standing committee members - all of whom were elected unanimously.

Full report will be posted under the minutes section and sent to Head Office with the annual return.

A very positive evening reflecting yet another successful year for the club.
