Section Secretary

As you may know Liz finishes her 2nd year as our Section Secretary at the end of October. Some members are willing to assist a Secretary but none has as yet volunteered to head up the team. Please consider if you can help with this role. Please contact Liz Cruse or Ian Smith. We all enjoy regular planned cycle rides; it is in our collective interest not to let the momentum drop.
