CKGB Club Inaugural Meeting 5th March 2022
By: StefanN Date: January 19, 2022, 7:00 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
I'm pleased to announce an Inaugural Meeting to form CycleKarts
GB as a club.
The meeting will be held on Saturday 5th March 2022 from 10:30am
at the British Motor Museum.
The agenda for the meeting will be:
- Welcome and introduction.
- Brief overview of the aims of the club
- Vote to adopt the constitution
- Vote to create a bank account
- Vote to elect the committee
- AOB
(short and sweet)
The proposed Constitution and Handbook are attached to this post
and have been developed by a small group of people* over the
last year. (EDIT: please note this version of the Handbook is
out of date and hence has been removed to avoid confusion.)
To vote, you will need to be a member. The proposed cost of
membership is £30 for this year - for which you'll get the warm
glow of knowing that you are helping to promote cyclekarting.
The money will help to pay for websites and other promotion as
well as the paraphernalia that so far, people have kindly dipped
into their own pockets for. There are also likely to be events
that the club is invited to which will only be open to members.
It would be helpful to know ahead of the inaugural meeting, who
intends to join the club. Please could you email
CKGBclub@gmail.com before 20th Feb 2022 to confirm your
intention to join. Bank details for payment etc will be sent
out after the club has been formed.
The club will need a committee to run it. If you would like to
stand to join the Committee, please complete the attached
nomination form and email it to CKGBclub@gmail.com before 20th
Feb 2022. The committee can have up to 6 people on it. If
more than 6 nominations are received, the committee will be
elected by a vote at the Inaugural Meeting.
If COVID means we can't meet in person then the meeting will be
held on Zoom and details will be published here.
If you can't attend but would like to, then please let us know
via CKGBclub@gmail.com asap and we'll do our best to arrange an
online connection or voting by proxy.
* Graham Hill, Graham Appleyard, Andy Boulton, Geoff May, Marek
Nahajski, Chris Slade, Jim Tanner, Stefan Nahajski, plus
contributions from others who have brought ideas, enthusiasm and
encouragement.

Well done all those involved.
The documents shown, in my insignificant opinion are very sound
and well considered.
As you have said that a member must be financial to have a voice
(or participate in events) how can payment be made ahead of the
meeting?

No need for payment ahead of time this year - just email
confirmation of intent to become a member. Inaugural meetings
can be a little bit “chicken and egg” in their proceedings.

Hello, All,
This sounds exciting and well-organised. I'd love to join,
eventually, both in support of your club and as my plan is to
shift my CycleKarts your way, at some point in the next couple
of years.
In California, there can be some nice benefits to forming a
recognised club, such as the ability to use spaces which might
otherwise be off-limits to an individual. Also fiddly crap such
as insurance, better recognition from city-dads/cops, etc. Is
this also similar in the UK?
Mike

Hi Mike, I am sure you would be most welcome to join the club
and shift your cyclekarts my way lol. The club should hopefully
open doors, get respect and recognition from some of the event
organisers around the country. Insurance is a minefield but may
be needed in the future. If you ever want to ship a kart over I
can find space to store it for you.

Jim:
Thank you! I suspect it'll be a couple of years before we pack
some containers, as we are still exploring areas. We'll get
there, though...Or somewhere!

Good to see a flurry of new interest on this site with people
getting excited about CycleKarts.
It would be great to see some further commitment from those
interested in becoming full members of the new club. As Stefan
points out, a formal club will allow us to share responsibilites
and costs fairly going forward.
