As I won't be present, I cannot complain about any final decisions but here are some points that I would probably raise. If you wish to consider the following points, it is entirely up to yourselves?
What is the strategic purpose of the group?
1. An informal cycling collective of local audaxers of like minded individuals
2. Incrementalist growth
3. A formalised club that encourages wider participation of cyclists to adopt audaxing.
4. A formalised club limited to existing audax riders.
Activity
1. Does it exist simply for Audaxers to ride together at events?
2. Does it support existing audaxes within the region?
3. Does it organise and deliver Audax Midland events?
4. Does it organise/promote activities that are additional to audaxes, for example, club runs, 12/24h time trials, TCR.
5. Social evenings?
Constitutional
1. Is it constituted formally?
2. Does it have a formal membership if a club?
3. Does it charge a membership fee?
4. Club/rider insurance.
Promotional
1. Webpage presence
2. Club kit
3. Branding
4. Advertising audax events and activity.
Knowledge transfer
1. Speak to AC Bristol or equivalent on 'warts and all' experiences.
And the old chestnut
1. Who does what and making it a reality!
