    As it turns out, I've done so little this year I couldn't think of any of the typical issues that annoy me. I also flat out forgot about the deadling. Did anyone submit anything?

    I had planned to submit one asking for the banning of monetary prizes at A4 level, and another proposing that CI is mandated to fully support a minimum of one full womens race every month or fortnight. That is, they cover the ambulance and commisaires costs to entice more clubs into running womens races for a full year until a critical mass is reached and clubs see the benefit.

    Damn they're good motions.
    I want one that says instant disqualification if someone litters in a race.
    Maybe even something similar for a leisure event, like if you're caught littering you can't enter the next event or something.

    Our league bans you for 12 months from the date of the offence, no littering apart from riders dropping glasses (this happens alot).

    Excellent. Should be a CI rule too.
    I'd also make throwing bottles in a sprint a DQ/ban-able offence.

    If you need to throw a bottle in an amateur race, I have some bad news, you aren't going to make it.

    This said I've done it in Corkagh but that's because I was trying to hit my friend.

    Do CI have to vote on accepting the Vets? or was it only the Vets who had to vote to join CI?

    Outside of an AGM, the Vets could simply join CI as a club, if you wanted to merge the two, they would both have to have motions at their AGM AFAIK

    Interesting they are seeing a decline in numbers and expect further decline in 2020.

    Our club has seen a huge uptake in numbers due to the amount of people taking up cycling.

    Alot of riders would take a year out from racing if they aren't getting any, you'll see a late surge if C19 goes away in a reasonable time frame next year.

    If they had a breakdown of members by discipline that would be easier to see alright.
    Hopefully next year.

    Anyone on the womens commission here? We received no notification of the AGM in time to submit motions or nominations according to the posted deadline (which appears to have been posted on the day of the AGM, not before the deadline of the 1st August). We had been told it was the 31st of August when we inquired. When nominations were brought up at the AGM it appears they were closed off and not engaged. It seems to be in contravention of the Womens commissions Constitution point 5. I wanted to bring it up today but wanted to make sure I have the correct view.
