Your Weekly Newsletter From UOBCC          3rd Dec 2013 What you will find in this week's newsletter: Weekly Roundup Safe Cycling First Term Survey Deadline! Christmas Social Odd Down Circuit Race Weekly Roundup This weekend was the Cycling Club Mega Trip, which saw some cracking weather to accompany several fantastic rides in the stunning surroundings of Snowdonia. It's a minor miracle, but we saw no rain, and no visits to A&E, so overall it was pretty successful. Kudos to Charlie Ormerod for such a quick turn around on his video of the weekend. Check it out here! We wait in anticipation to see if the Mountain bikers have any footage to challenge this. Keep your eyes peeled in the coming weeks for next term's trips to be announced. Ride With Care Following the recent spate of UK cycling deaths, we urge you to take care when riding on the roads. Remember that it is illegal to ride in the dark without lights. (Bristol police have been issuing £50 on the spot fines for light infractions.) First Term Survey We hope that you have enjoyed all the club activities in the first term. However we would really like to gauge members opinions on how we can improve the club for next term. Therefore we have created a short survey which can be found here. It only takes 5 minutes max so it would be great to get as much serious feedback as we can. Please give us your suggestions and ideas for next term as if we don't know what members want from the club we will never be able to make it any better! We will be meeting next week to arrange next terms acitivites so responces must be back before Sunday. If anyone has any more comments/ complaints/ suggestions anytime throughout the year, please feel free to talk to or email the club president Tom who is always happy to discuss anything.
