Bolsover & District Cycling Club

As 2012 approaches its obvious that this club is growing rapidly and has some real opportunity presented to it.

A very small team of members formed this club in 2006 and through hard work and determination have grown in it to where it is now.

To grow further , the workload needs to be spread amongst a greater number of members who are willing to contribute, and many such members are coming forward already.

To make it clear what we want people to do, we are working on a defined structure to the club, and clear role responsibilties. Thsi will form the bulk of discussion at the next Club Social and comitte meeting with the goal of getting most of teh roles filled by someone willing to give perhaps just an hour or two a week to help build the strength of this club further

The first draft of the club structure can be seen and downloaded here...http://www.bolsoveranddistrictcyclingclub.org.uk/documents/club%20structure.pdf
