2017 – A BIGGER, STRONGER CYCLING NSW

Congratulations to all our passionate Club leaders and volunteers, who make our unique Cycling NSW federation what it is today and who have driven our membership past 9,000 for the ﬁrst time! Nice job. The Board and the executive team are proud to work with you, to help you build your Club and create your own distinctive culture.

Again, as in 2016, I enjoyed many CNSW events around the State – club criteriums, country opens, Masters’ State Championships and club social rides. Each has its own unique appeal and ﬂavor and without showing any preference at all, I do look forward to racing ‘Gunnedah to Tamworth’ again in 2018!

YEAR IN REVIEW

2017 saw continued progress towards our vision of establishing Cycling NSW as the peak body for cycling in NSW, not just the sport of cycling. Apart from setting a new peak in membership, other highlights from 2017 include:

The NSW State Government formally recognizing the principles we laid out in our 2017 ‘Memorandum of Understanding’, namely:

• a joint commitment on improving road riding safety; • attracting major global cycling events to NSW; • improving cycling infrastructure; and • ensuring access to roads.
• Cycling NSW partnership with Bathurst Regional Council, the ‘B2B’ reaching new heights and a record ﬁeld, leading to UCI World Grand Fondo Championship qualifying status

• Concrete progress towards creating a sustainable ownership of the Dunc Gray Velodrome and a major refurbishment program

• Continued success of women’s recreational ride events (#FIVE100 challenge) and growth in female membership numbers

• Engagement with Clubs to develop a new race event categorisation and sanctioning model, to accommodate changing rider trends and improve the service to riders in County Opens

• NSW riders of all categories, who competed at National Championships, combining to win the Norm Gailey Trophy for the Champion State for third year in succession and ﬁve years in six

• World Championship performances from NSW riders’ Nick Yallouris and Amanda Reid • Rochelle Gilmore inducted into the NSW Sports Hall of Fame and Brad McGee and Julie Speight joining the Cycling Australia Hall of Fame

• Garry Pemberton & Terry Matheson receiving the Cycling Australia Medal of Merit for their outstanding service to cycling. Garry’s passing this year was a very sad day for CNSW indeed

LOOKING AHEAD

2018 has seen a change in key cycling leadership positions, with new CEOs at Cycling Australia, Cycling Victoria and Cycling NSW. This situation presents a tremendous opportunity, for the new leaders to build on the strong ﬁnancial and governance foundations, established by their predecessors and focus on improved member services, greater levels of sponsorship and a stronger domestic elite racing program. Cycling NSW is especially looking forward to:

• Providing the NSW State Government good reason to deliver on the four agendas mentioned above, • Bedding down the new race categorisation and sanctioning model, • Making the B2B the safest and best managed cyclo-sportif experience in NSW, and • Continuing our investment in junior and female rider development, while supporting State team participation at National events

GOVERNANCE

Cycling NSW continues to enjoy a strong balance sheet and maintain a small annual proﬁt. Your Board has continued to balance the risk and return of investment proposals, with the interests of all Cycling NSW members at the forefront. It is anticipated, that during 2018, propositions will be made to the Cycling NSW Board regarding uniting the States and various cycling disciplines. In considering these matters, the Board will continue to engage our members and act in the best interest of all members.

THANK YOU

Thank you and congratulations to those who stepped into Club leadership positions in 2017 and a warm and heartfelt thank you to those who are stepping back after years of dedicated service. Thank you also to the large number of volunteers - commissaires, coaches, event support staff, handicappers and our commission & committee members - who gave up their precious personal time in 2017, to allow Cycling NSW to function. Without your combined passion, tolerance and continued resilience, we would simply not exist.

Thank you to Phil Ayres and his hard-working team for stepping up again in 2017. Phil’s five-year tenure with Cycling NSW, gave us the benefit of his experience as a sports administrator. While Phil may have never ridden the boards of Dunc Gray, he has left a legacy that includes the setting up of an independent Disciplinary Committee, a modernised set of financial management accounts and an organised and consistent approach to governance.

Finally, thank you to the Cycling NSW Board members, who have each provided me with their personal support and expert guidance throughout 2017.

STRATEGIC PILLAR:

CLUBS

CLUBS ARE A KEY PROVIDER OF PARTICIPATION IN OUR SPORT Our clubs are at the heart of our sport. By working through our clubs we seek to create a delivery network of outlets where our product can be marketed and enjoyed by the cycling public.

The objectives of this activity are: 1. By increasing our clubs’ access to more information and direct consultation which will assist them in decision making and guides the conduct of their activities.

2. Ensuring CNSW policies and activities encourage club racing outcomes, which includes creating and maintaining road & track venues.

3. Developing and hosting training programs to qualify and credential volunteers to undertake essential roles in clubs (eg coaches, trafﬁc management, ofﬁciating).

4. Developing marketing programs that assist in generating increases in membership numbers.

CNSW’s success as a State body is intrinsically dependent upon our Clubs’ capability & capacity to deliver. A strong point of difference for CNSW against its competitor organisations is our club model, where people can physically join in with other like-minded people with a shared passion. Assisting clubs to provide better and more appealing services to members and potential members alike is therefore a key outcome.

Our Club Presidents forum is one essential program with this target speciﬁcally in mind. Again in 2017 we hosted this event where 20 clubs participated, half from regional NSW. The value of the forum coming from the ability for clubs to interact and share ideas and approaches to common issues and opportunities. The context of this year’s forum was for the CNSW Board to hear from clubs as to what the key aspects of a reframed strategic plan should be from a clubs perspective. The insight and perspective offered will prove invaluable to the Board as it considers its refreshed strategic agenda for 2018 and then next 3-5 years.

CNSW continued, with the support of the Office of Sport, to conduct Traffic Control training for clubs. We were able to develop the delivery model such that participants could be awarded both the Traffic Controllers certificate and certification to position signage and amend traffic conditions. This dual certification providing a much more useful capability for clubs needing to provide their own traffic control for racing. In a similar vein we have continued to host cycle skills &level one coaching courses as well as commissaires training throughout the year, all aimed at increasing club capability in bring and retaining people to our sport. Our capacity to assess new commissaires in the field has been enhanced following a joint initiative with the Office of Sport to train leading commissaires in each Division as assessors.

Perhaps the most significant project throughout 2017 was the development of a new race categorisation & sanction model. Our previous approach had served us well and was well understood, however with a change in how events are hosted and conducted saw a need to reframe our structures. The imperative to a new approach was a more equitable way of treating sanction fees both between Open events and also as the policy relates to interclub events. No significant change is without its robust discussions, essential for the teasing out of key issues and development of approaches which sit comfortably across the stakeholder group. It is pleasing that we have now landed on a new structure which is hoped will provide a strong and fair basis from which clubs can plan the budgets for race events they host. On the flip side, CNSW hopes this will provide the incentive required for clubs to play the essential role as event promoters in our sport.

STRATEGIC PILLAR:

PARTICIPATION

PARTICIPATION IS FUNDAMENTAL IN GROWING OUR MEMBERSHIP People consume cycling in a variety of different formats from high performance racing to club level competition, semi- formal competitive events, bunch and social rides. Our strategies will embrace each of these formats.

The objectives of this activity are: 1. Offering a membership value proposition which resonates with competitive & non-competitive cyclists

2. Being an active participant in CA’s nationally branded introduction & development programs 3. Creating targeted development activities which harness people’s interest in cycling and positon CNSW as the peak organisation for cycling in NSW

4. Developing a relationship within government for broader cycling issues which extends beyond CNSW as a State Sporting organisation

5. Developing our own and partnering with existing promoters for the staging of both competitive and mass ride recreational cycling events

Our signiﬁcant uplift in the membership numbers of female riders is no doubt the result of various activities both by our very active Women’s Commission and that of individual clubs who understand women continue to be under-represented in our membership mix, yet riding either socially or competitively is not bounded by gender.
