CHARITABLE TRUST STATUS MEETING.

There is a great deal of discussion about the CTC's proposal to go for Charitable Trust status. In the next edition of "Cycle" the case will be fully outlined and there will be a voting form.

We are proposing to hold a Club discussion,led by Kevan Shuttleworth, our regional councillor, on this issue. It will be held at John Radford's house, 11, Westfield Avenue, Meltham, at 7p.m. on Monday, April 12th.

If you would like to be involved than please let Ken know so that we are aware of just how many are likely to attend.

Two important notes from John Radford:

1) On page 36 of the last Cycle magazine is an article headed "CTC should become a unified membership charity", I would urge that all members read this, there is an argument for and against and at this year's CTC AGM it will be voted on. This is a very important vote that will decide on the future of "the club". Please read and take note, there is also more information on these views in other areas like the CTC Web Site and blogs. Your Committee will discuss things at our next meeting on Monday 22/2 [runs fixing] and we think there will be a one off meeting soon at some local venue like a pub or somewhere where we can all discuss the situation to help you to vote for the course of action you think right.

2) As some know I have been incapacitated recently and will be for some time, if you need to contact me and I do not answer the phone please leave a message and I will get back to you when I can.

A bit of bad news, I'm afraid........John Radford fell off his bike early this morning at Wilshaw. He's in Ward 20a of HRI with a fractured femur. The operation may take place tomorrow. I've spoken to him and he seems OK in himself.

I am sure you will join with us in wishing John a speedy recovery.

Website update.

Fixing the issue with the site when viewed using Firefox, is proving to be tricky. I am leaving the pictures out for a bit because at least then you can see the site in Firefox. I will pick this up another day now.

Hi all,

Just a quick update. I have uploaded two files, one is the latest e-newsletter (here) and the other is some news from Ken regarding a short cycling break which was mentioned recently (here).

Quick website update - recently, my main Vista HDD failed, so I am now running on my Windows 7 RC installation and am concentrating on getting it back up to speed (keeping in mind that soon I will have to redo everything again when this test version expires!) That coupled with my work load increasing significantly over the last few weeks, has meant that development of this website has been slow to non-existent. Rest assured I am still on the case and intend to sit down and concentrate on it soon.

That's all for now.

Hi everyone,

Two things to note:

The Contacts page has been updated to include a mobile phone number for some of the ride leaders. Please note that some of these phones are Club owned and will only be switched on when the owner is involved in a ride or event for the CTC. Making a note of this mobile number before setting out on a ride, could prove useful should you get disbanded from the group.
The new look website is ever closer and you may all now check it out by clicking here. It is not finished yet and some of the links are dead, but hopefully it will give you an idea of where this is going and some of the changes that are coming along.

That's all for now!

Hi all,

The events page is now updated with the Summer Events which can also be found in the Headset Magazine Issue 21. This can be found here. The link on the home page has also been updated. The only thing that is missing is that the Trophy Rides (7 of them) are not highlighted in the Events List. They are highlighted (in Bold) in Headset, but not on the site. I will add this soon.

Thanks and enjoy. Tim.

Site Update News

You may notice now that the menu on the left hand side has changed slightly. Believe me, it is a lot different to the old menu under the hood, but it looks very similar to the user out there in internet land!

My time is now going to be spent making the forms for logging in and uploading photos and news. I will add more news when there is something worth saying. ;)

Hi all,

Quick update for you regarding where I am with the site as its been a bit quiet lately, with the holidays.

Basically, the next update will be to the structure of the site. None of this will really be visible as much of a change, but it will help me get it ready for accepting registrations so that people can log in and upload stories photos and news items (which will be restricted).

I also want to add more links which means changing the menu on the left (it is currently a shockwave control and I don't have the source code for it, or any knowledge of shockwave for that matter) so it will be replaced by something which looks and works almost identically ;)

A bit of old news really, but as I have now got around to fixing the news page, I thought I would make it official. As of November 18th 2008, I (Tim) have taken over the running of the CTC Website, so expect to see lots of changes and updates and (hopefully) new and cool things happening over the coming months.

I am hoping to add new features like the ability to log in and upload pictures and stories from rides and events and give the ride leaders access to the news pages so that they can keep you abreast of important news and developments regarding upcoming rides. As you can see, I have added one already for this coming weekend.

I hope you enjoy the new website, and, as I love writing these web pages, check back often to see what features I have dreamt up!

Tim.
