...ever cycle ...ever CTC
Re: Je Suis Negative Git!!
No need to use any particular form. So long as any letter or e-mail you send is clearly headed "Complaint" there can be no doubt about your intentions. I'd suggest sending it to Matt Mallinder.
The procedue is there to set out the principles behind how a complaint should be investigated and dealt with.
My experience of two complaints I raised in 2015 is that the complaint procedure is a bit like the National Cycle Network. It promises much but the route may be a little bumpier than advertised with some unexpected barriers to negotiate along the way.
I hope the matter being investigated on you behalf is dealt with promptly.

...thanks gaz ...I will see what happens first ...and of course ...report it here ...the spiel in the complaints link seemed to suggest that once the complaint was under way it itself was protected by Data Protection ...so I may find myself gagged regarding any further comment...!

Indeed, and when (as promised by "Cycling UK Publicity Team") "appropriate" action is taken, I hope it will be publicly announced what has happened. CUK must be seen to deal justly with such unacceptable and unprofessional behaviour.

I dare you to complain by e-mail. Could you stand the tension waiting for the insults to come back ?

That it happened (for any reason) just emphasises to me the quality of management in National Office.

Re: Je Suis Negative Git!!
Can we stay off speculating what happened please as we don't want another thread locked.
Meaning no disrespect to Velocio, but it would be wrong to hang, draw and quarter the chap that sent the email before all the facts have come to light.....after all if for some reason it does turn out to be some really stupid mistake (e.g. perhaps the chap mistakenly thought that Velocio was someone else who he has regular banter with) it would be wrong to hound him out of the job that keeps his kids fed. I'm not saying that this is the reason the email was sent but once in a while strange things do happen. And I'm not trying to say that he is innocent - just that we should allow them to have a go at a proper enquiry before taking it further.

I am surprised by the delay.

The complaint procedure does not give specific timescales for the progress and resolution of a complaint.
Personally I would consider the initial e-mail from Tim Boden to be the formal acknowledgement in which case the next step is either full resolution or setting out the timescale for such resolution. If I had not received this within one week I would be chasing a response.
This is your complaint and if you are not happy with how it is progressing make sure you let Tim Boden know.
