Sheila George.
I nominate Sheila for leading a lot of our club rides over the last year. She has done more than her fair share, leading all-day rides on both Thursdays and Sundays. She has led a total of 21 rides over the last year. I think this is an exceptional contribution, but easy to overlook because it was spread over the year. Sheila is helping the club with our core activity by leading so many of our rides.
Dr John Jackson
As the Registrations and Publicity Officer, Dr John has raised the profile of the club using his considerable contacts in the Cycling fraternity. He fostered a lasting association with Outspoken with a Club visit to showcase their capabilities. He has developed new Club clothing to promote our rebadging as Cycling UK. John is keen to help other bikers who are just starting out or in need of advice and encouragement. He is a trusted and caring ride leader and often steps-in when there is a vacancy. He maintains a high standard of cycling safety and is not slow to chide his fellow road users when he sees an unsafe manoeuvre. John is an enthusiastic cyclist and his infectious dedication to the sport provides an inspiration to us all.
Ian Wright
I would like to nominate Ian for his varied programme of Saturday rides. Ian offers a popular year-round Saturday social ride that has regular loyal supporters, but also offers a warm welcome to beginners and newcomers. Ian plays a really important role for the club in making CTC Cambridge open to new riders, and in offering well-led rides that teach people how to ride safely in a group. Ian is a really good ride leader, and sets a great example in terms of looking out for all riders, and adapting the pace of the ride to suit the mix of riders on the day.
The name of the winner will be announced at our Christmas Lunch, where the recipient will be presented with the trophy and a Wiggle voucher.
