The CIO Structure
The CIO started this second period (01/04/2023-31/03/2024) with 3 Trustees : Graham Patton/Treasurer, James Swabey/second signatory and minute taker and Jane Evans/Membership Secretary. Following three trustee resignations in the previous period, 2023-24 has been about consolidation, continuation and management of an ongoing conflift.

Membership
Membership currently stood at 75 . Annual subscriptions are individually £15, Household at £20. Collected annually by the date of 31.3. Most members are local to Tynedale with just a handful based further afield who only attend rides and events occasionally.
Activities
Ride Programme: Club rides have been a mix of multiday rides, day rides and weekday evening rides. Whilst the number of ride leaders gradually increased in 2022-2023 the bulk of the ride leading during 2023-24 fell on the Treasurers shoulders.
Support For Access:
A number of major regional access projects are currently in the planning/feasibility stages. Whilst the club currently does not have a formal role we are keeping in touch with the key players and may in future be able to use the clubs modest project funds to help unlock far more major funding. The regional liaison role has been led by Rob Aubrook and a number of exciting prospects are emerging.
