AGM and Club News
Bray Wheelers held our Annual General Meeting last Wed 29th Nov 2023.
Club chair Rob Magee was delighted to present Faith Robinson with her National Champions jersey, and the club also sent congratulations to fellow Bray National Champion, Stuart Carrick, and his jersey is winging its way to him.
Reports were given by club chairman and principal officers, and highlights of the year presented, and we were very glad to have 300 club members in 2023, and we hope to see some more new faces in 2024.
Elections were held for 2024 committee and sub committees, and we are very glad of the great spirit of volunteering that is so strong within Bray Wheelers. Full list of committees will follow soon.
The club also launched it new website, which can be seen at: https://braywheelers.ie/
The new site, by SlapBangWallop, features images of all the different types of cycling that members are involved in from the very young to the very young at heart, and from Track, to Off-road, and Road.
Club Member Ian Mulvaney was elected Life Member of Bray Wheelers, for his 20 plus years of dedication to running the club website, with the thanks of all present.
Looking forward now to our Christmas Party on Fri 15th Dec.
The club wishes all our members, family and friends a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!
