Sleaford Wheelers Newsletter November 2026

This month we are focussed on the AGM and the Awards Night with a brief message on the use of AI. 

AGM 

This year’s AGM will take place on Monday 16^th November at Silk Willoughby Village Hall commencing at 19:30. If you would like to add an item for discussion, then please let me know. It would be great if you could come along and add to the discussions. Tea and coffee will be available. At the meeting we are hoping that some key committee positions will be filled, namely Treasurer and TT secretary. 

Treasurer 

This is a key role in keeping the Club running effectively. The role requires a commitment of approximately 5 hours per month; knowledge of on-line banking and MS Excel is an advantage. Typical duties are reviewing monthly incomings and outgoings, paying bills and preparing the accounts for external auditing. Please let Rob or me know if you are interested in this role. 

TT/Race Secretary 

If anyone would like to volunteer to organise the TTs next year it would be greatly appreciated. Please let Rob or me know if you are interested in this role. 

Awards Night 

The Award’s Night will be held in the Solo Club, Sleaford, on 28^th November. 

The SWCC Committee warmly invites you, your family and friends to our Annual Club Dinner and Awards Presentation. 

Come along for an evening of good food, great company and celebrating another year of cycling achievements — including the heroic ability to look cheerful while climbing hills.
