I am the principle administrator for the club, ensuring that all correspondence to the club is issued to the relevant officers for response. I use the British Cycling Club Management Tool to support me in my role and keep members up to date with affairs and communications. I am responsible for members knowing where they can access key information such as the club’s Constitution and Code of Conduct.
