Governance

EWCC is run by its members on a voluntary basis – everyone can contribute to our active community. Don’t be put off by the words “governance” and “committee” – EWCC only exists because of all of us, and it needs people to organise stuff and ride together. 🙂

Here is a link to the EWCC constitution as approved by British Cycling in 2015.

EWCC committee

The club is governed by a committee that is elected at the annual general meeting. The committee has responsibility for the management of the Club, its funds, property and affairs.

The club committee meetings are open to all club members – everybody is encouraged to come along on every second Monday of the month at 7.30 pm to discuss and agree on any activities affecting the club, such as as road races, time trials, audaxes,  EWCC academy items,  social event organisation, membership applications, finances, provision of training and coaching sessions, British Cycling matters, and any other item that’s currently a hot topic for the club members.

Safeguarding

In order to maintain the safety and well-being of all club members, the club is required to appoint a welfare officer who has undergone an enhanced DBS check through British Cycling and has attended relevant safeguarding training. The club’s welfare officer is Nik Rorke and she can be contacted by email: .

The club follows the British Cycling Safeguarding Policy which can be seen here: https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/zuvvi/media/bc_files/rulebook/2018/22._Safeguarding_Children_and_Young_People_2021.pdf
