5. New Business:
- recommendations re: changes to Chapter governance and events:
The past year revealed that members were interested in recreational cycling (shorter local rides, one- and two-day rides) and social activities. Mikkel suggested that we focus on these interests. He also suggested that we consider re-structuring the Steering Committee: members would be elected by the Chapter members but decide after the election who is going to do what tasks. Further, some positions could be shared by two members.
b) elections: Terry suggested, and members agreed, that we will approach Chapter members to persuade them to run for office.
c) Pie party: 20 members attended a successful pie potluck with a theme of sweet and savoury pies. A thank-you note was received by Margaret from Jim and Ute Grayson, who hosted the party.
