Hi members,
We’re pleased to advise that our racing calendar kicks off again in June with a jam-packed calendar of events right through to Christmas.
First up was the WCNI TT champs on the 6th of June, followed closely by a 2up Time Trial which is our Bike Manawatu club race on the 13th of June.
A 2 Up Time Trial (2UpTT) is a TT completed by a pair of riders. So come with a friend, or find a partner on the day. Details can be found on the calendar. This race is to be managed by Chris Sanson.
For regular updates on Facebook, please like the Bike Manawatu Facebook page. I will keep this updated, and answer any questions as best I can
The Bike Manawatu AGM was held last Wednesday Night at the Marist Club rooms in conjunction with the Track and TT prize giving. A total of 79 people attended to make the evening a success. Congratulations to all those who received prizes, and much thanks to Ian Gray and Kate Stewart for organising the prizes.
Three new Board members were elected: Michael Groube, Austin Smith, and Chris Sanson. They join Steve Stannard, Kelly Johnson, Brendan Hapeta, and John van Lienen on the Board. Much thanks to retiring Board members Iona McCarthy, Marcel Hollenstein, and Mike Christie for the tireless work they put into the club.
We have also appointed a new Bike Manawatu Administrator through an advertised and contestable recruitment process. We are pleased to be able to welcome Christine Christie to this position. She will be working in the role on a part time basis.

According to the constitution the AGM needs to be advertised 7 days before hand but more importantly is the clause about remits and changes to constitution.
5.1. Notice of motion containing changes to this Constitution and all other remits must be received by the Board at least 35 days prior to the meeting.
The date for the AGM has been set for 25th March and therefore remits need to be sent to secretary@bikemanawatu.co.nz or posted to PO Box 797 Palmerston North by 18th February
