FRIENDS OF HERNE HILL VELODROME AGM 25TH MAY 06
Thanks to Barry Mason of Southwark cyclists who posted this report on their website
About 25 people attended the AGM on 25th at Half Moon Lane Methodist Hall.
Peter Cattermole of Velo Club de Londres explained what VCL were doing to patch the place up and keep it open. Relations with the freeholders...Dulwich College Estates.....are thawing and the vital extension to the 3 year lease may soon go into negotiation. There was discussion about the now admin-awkward relationship betweenthe 430 Friends of HHV and VCL.Of the existing Friends and that committee only Bill Wright (ex HHV Manager for Fusion), John Rolfs (Friends Treasurer) and me (Barry Mason ,outhwarkCyclists and LCC representative) said they were willing to continue .
After sensible discussion it was agreed that: The Friends could not be sustained with such a tiny, all busy, team of three. Better to co-opt those people onto the VCL Management Committee running the Velodrome. It was agreed to bring in Judith Bonner (Friends Chair)and Alastair Hanton (local) as well. Lots of advantages in the new arrangements.....we're all now in the same boat and it'll be easier for Southwark Cyclists etc to broaden the reach of the velodrome by being on the inside.Phone me direct with queries.
Long long story. But good.
But good.Barry07905 889 005
