Lost World Sportive - publicity

[Alan M]

Hi, it is time to move up a gear in publicising the sportive. Courtesy of Huw and Monty I now have 1000 flyers available and hope to be distributing them at the cafe on Saturday. If anyone is planning to pass that way by car between now and then I would be grateful if some could be dropped off. PM me if this is possible. I am also looking for volunteers to distribute flyers around to key contacts - ie, clubs, cycle shops etc. We have some flyers in GB but where else is possible? Please assist. Any further thoughts on multiplying the message do let me know, thanks in advance,

Secondly, I would appreciate club members supporting the event by riding with us - I promise an excellent day and some unimaginably beautiful lanes and a bonus route for the super adventurous among you. As you will realise this is a key event for publicising the success of the club and it is your chance to showcase the friendliness of ACC - in fact this was a key positive comment of last year's event and this year we will go a stage further with electronic timing, yoga style post ride relaxation.

Lastly, I am thinking also of setting up a recovery drinks bar - essentially - liquidisers, fruit, milk or soya, ice and protein powder to provide a refreshing post-ride drink - anyone up for organising this? I think it might be a novel and attractive way to make people feel happy in their exhaustion!

Are we supporting any charities/good causes, ploughing profits back into the club this year?

[Alan M]

back to committee for ideas - some discussions re prompting women's cycling but I think we'll wait and see how it goes this year - there is more and more competition for this market

Please let me know of any events you are riding to distribute more flyers, thanks, Alan
