I'm stepping down.

If you're interested in taking on Calendar/Perm events I currently steward, please PM or e-mail the SE Events Delegate (audax.events.se.team@gmail.com) with expression of interest.
I'd offer you some moral support - but I have questionable morals.

I feel that there is some friction between Pat and a participant in a recent event that Pat organised.  Maybe Pat could make a statement publicly about it and hopefully get the situation resolved amicably.

I hope Pat doesn't feel the need to make a public statement, AUK has a grievance procedure, and if any rider has a grievance, that's where they should go.

There will be no statement (from me) - there's no valid reason to do so.

It is was it is, and for the enjoyment and pleasure you all had over the years there's no charge :P

Would we have to keep the terrible names you chose??

Thanks for the fun rides. And for the other ones (you know which ones I mean!!)

Thanks for the Poor Student, don’t think I’ve ridden your others. Enjoy organising retirement.

I wonder if people realise how much of his time Pat has put in for AUK. As well as organising some truly iconic events, he was the SE Regional Organiser and he rocks up to help as a controller on a ton of rides.

I actually occasionally wished he'd turn a blind eye (it took me ages to get my Tour de Ricky rides approved because he likes the idea that rides should actually cover the advertised distance). And I'll miss his particular tone of voice in his emails declining to approve my events! But I think the world of Audaxing will be poorer for his retirement and I hope a suitable monument can be erected in the bus shelter at Pear Tree Services.

The Old Roads and Drove Roads was one of my favourites.  Thank you for all your efforts.

Ditto to all the comments above.
Organizations like AUK reply on the generous giving up of time by a few.
