How ironic that you planned this on my birthday...

Dear members, Can I encourage you all to make the AGM this year, it is one of the few times we get in the busy cycling year to reflect on the season past and plan for the future, 2014 is a big year for cycling with the Giro in Ireland and the Tour in England, it will also be a big year for Dromara CC. The Club has collectively and individually had another outstanding year the AGM is a time to celebrate success and plan for the future, we can only do this if we get a good turn out from the membership and hear your views.

Look forward to seeing you all there and please pass the word to those not on the message board, if not for any other reason its a good opportunity wish Zak happy birthday!

Best in cycling

Peter
