Basically he is concerned that marshals have been using flags to stop traffic which is unlawful. A recent ‘Event Group Safety Advisory’ meeting attended by PC Green has concluded that Humberside Police now require Traffic Regulation orders (road closures) together with a suitable traffic management plan to be implemented with effect from July 2020 OR to use the BC system of Accredited Marshals. The committee discussed the significant implications this is going to have on open road racing and not least the financial viability of this. DJ to contact Andy Abbott to see what his thoughts are for road race league. LC to contact Matt Gott from BC for advice.

CLUB SECRETARY’S REPORT Hull Thursday RC continues to promote and encourage cycling in Hull and East Yorkshire. The Club has had a mixed year starting off with some bad crashes particularly Mike Kilgour who is making a good recovery. There have been good numbers racing in all cycling disciplines such as: Road Races (locally East Yorkshire Road Race League and Ennerdale Circuit Series), Open Time Trials, Cyclo-cross, Mountain Biking and Sportives. We have had a few members leaving their positions on the committee and we thank them greatly for all their commitment and hard work over the years. As a club we have successfully organised many cycle events Events run in 2019 include: ‘Jim’s training rides’ (Richard Guymer) Open TTT on the Hardriders course (Mike Kilgour) Keith Carter RR (Lee Coulson) The club TT series (Paul Kilvington) East Riding Road Race League (Andy Abbott) LVRC Vic Sutton Road Race (Neil Dean) Open 25 TTT Humberside Championship (Richard Guymer) Junior training series at Ennerdale Circuit Freewheel competition (Dave Millson) Paperchase (Doug Jaram) Geriatrics Club Rides President’s dinner (Mandy Dean) Christmas dinner feast (Mandy Dean) Road race events may become difficult to run on open roads this year with the insistence of the authorities to have marshals with a qualification. It is all a bit hazy at the moment so we will have to follow developments. Other activities include: Sunday club runs have become regular with two groups in the early part of the year (40mile and 60mile). Neil and Mandy have worked hard to organise and promote them. Richard has been leading the club runs in the later part of the year. It would be great to see more members coming along even if it is just for some of the ride Saturday morning training sessions organised by Doug Jaram Monthly e-Scene with current club information The club incentive scheme is continuing to encourage and assist HTRC riders represent the club in cycle races. This can be attributed to helping increase our numbers of active racers. The Club Rewards Scheme organised by Lee Coulson with assistance from Mandy Dean continues to reward club members who have assisted with organising and running club events. We have had good attendance throughout the year at committee meetings at Hull Baptist Church rooms.
