Actually I think (and I've said it before), an important role for a technical officer is to advise about interpretations of legislation, consult upon potential legislative changes, provide expert testimony to MPs, or parliamentary inquiries, etc. If we take as an example, lighting standards...

I don't think it'll be poplar. It couldl be a beech to ride though.

Didn't realise that branch of cycling had grown so big

A good example might be "mudguard clearance". Can you not come up with anything other than the same old 30 year old example? Surely if what you say is true there should be plenty more examples to roll out as evidence that are more recent? I could think of loads of examples. Sorry you don'...

When I was elected for the se I was very unhappy about signing the code conduct, I took advice and in the end dined it. My doults about signing it have come to be true, as stated elsewhere by others on this forum the code is a gagging order. The council does not like debate. But you did sign it and...

If he felt strongly that this matter should be transparent and open to the membership did he breach the code or follow it? If there had been an intention by Council to withold the information from the membership then transparency might be a defence. But that was not the case. Council intended to fu...

did you approve/assent to the approval of the minutes that you now claim to have not been an accurate representation of the discussions at council or not?

You are, as the Americans say, trying to nail jelly to the wall.

The voting slips wouldn't be sent out at all if it wasn't for one (unnamed) Councilor having a morals and standards by letting the membership know of the intended secret name and plan.

... Remembert the rebranding decision was taken on 25 January and the petition did not arrive until 5 February ... 23 January and 4 March respectively. Thanks for the correction. By 4 March the April edition of Cycle would have pretty much been put to bed and off to the printers. It would not have ...

So according to 'Cycleclips' the CTC officially becomes Cycling UK on April 5th. ; The 600 plus members who petitioned for a ballot of the full membership have just been ignored, disregarded and insulted. Ladies and Gentlemen, your new Cycling UK ENJOY IT! The petitioners have not been ignored - th...
