Wednesday 11th May, Compasses, Littley Green:
Present: Tomsk, Huggy, the BFC, Tippers[sans velo], jiberjaber, Bobb, Oaky, AndyC33 and Carlosfandango. I think that's right - 9 of us, no? There were a few heavy-duty locks employed in the bike shed, after Oaky's unfortunate experience.
BCM preparation and worries dominated the conversation at least at my end of the table. Amusing anecdotes from the velodrome trip too.
ACME is a pipe-dream becoming a reality, it seems: ACH have a very informal structure - to join, you just need to have AUK membership for allocating points, anyone can join: use the website for various facilities like social events, ordering the jersey, list the randonees you're riding this year etc. Easy-peasy.
Paying for domain name and website seems to be the main cost - some of the Audax Organiser's income from entry fees could be directed there, maybe a supplement on the jerseys too? A sew-on badge with an ACME club logo could go on a variety of garments/saddlebags etc - I'll have a look at MBC [they do the AUK medals/badges and Flitch Bikes medals].
Can we have a [slightly] formal meeting to divvy up some of the tasks and make a few benevolent-dictator-style decisions? A Wednesday evening or whenever.
