The meeting took place at the Olympic Park, post Freecycle ride.
Upcoming events and support required
8/6 Fix your Ride – people allocated. 29/6 school fete – do we have sufficient support for this? Forest Gate Festival 6th July – people allocated – need to check if there is room for outreach (KF)
Planning meeting in November – items to complete
SOP for our group – to provide visibility of roles and to allow others to take on roles.
Ride calendar (in parallel with FYR and AAA dates if possible, to avoid calendar clashes). Ideally a range of people will lead a range of rides. We can ask people if they have a ride they would like to lead, or offer them rides which require leading. We will ask LCC for ride leader and Marshall training/youth opps /safeguarding training at the local groups meeting. Possible new rides – Cambridge – with Dunwich dynamo to Morton then back from Epping.
