Motion re “One Day Licences” at Cycling Ireland AGM
The Cycling Ireland AGM is taking place on November 3rd in Clonmel.
Details here: http://www.cyclingireland.ie/Home/News/Final-AGM-Notice.aspx
There is a motion in front of the AGM which I believe is of particular relevance to Offroad Clubs especially those that intend to run events in the future. The motion is as follows:
22. One-day Licences (Cycling Ireland Board)
That current rule G1.15:
“An appropriate One Day Licence will permit the holder to participate as a rider in Cycling Ireland Events – excluding Criteriums, Stage Races & all National Championships; or as an official. This satisfies the requirements of rule T1. Such licence grants the holder membership of Cycling Ireland for insurance purposes only, in respect of that event only.”
Be replaced with:
An appropriate One Day Licence will permit the holder to participate as a rider in Cycling Ireland Event, excluding: Criteriums, Stage Races, National Championships or open races on or after 01st April each year. Officials may take out a One Day Licence at any time. Such One Day Licences fulfil the requirements of rule T1 and grants the holder membership of Cycling Ireland for insurance purposes only, in respect of that event only.”
And add an additional rule under G1:
“Members of a Cycling Ireland affiliated club holding a club competition licence may participate in Open Races promoted by the club of which they are a member.”
The intention of this motion is to exclude the use of “One Day Licences” at open races after April 1st each year.
We would encourage members of Offroad Clubs who have opinions on this motion, either for or against, to attend the AGM in order to have their opinions aired and to vote accordingly.
