Introductory Rides 2016
Apologies…I’m new to this club run organising lark, and this is late, so I suspect that there will be no January intro ride, but…
… as usual we need a good mix of volunteers for these rides which are proving to be as popular as ever. Just so you know the 2015 intro rides had 79 riders, excluding leaders, with 16 riders in August alone - so there is great interest, it’s not just hollow words.
So can we please, please have some ride leaders and support riders to er…support. We have more than enough competent members that you only need turn out for two Sundays a year, once as leader and once as support. If you don't feel confident as leader then just volunteer as a support rider.

Thanks for taking this on Phil. I was about to message you direct last night but stopped myself because intro rides were previously coordinated separately by Paul & Deb (who have moved to France) and I wasn't sure whether you'd been asked or had agreed to look after those too.

Phil, further to your call for leaders elsewhere:
I think it's preferable in various ways to spread the leading around. So, if you can find other people to lead, I shall wait until early next year before I volunteer again. (It's become a sort of tradition with me to make leading the Feb/March intro my first long ride of the New Year.) However, if in the immediate run-up to one of the October-December dates you find that you are really stuck, just PM me.
