13. Results of Club Events in 2000
14.
Please note that, as we missed the subscription dead line by 2 days, we are no longer a member club of the BDCA. It seems sad that, after over 30 years of promoting events for the BDCA, the first year we did not promote, we are thrown out for a (minor) infringement. Where are our friends?
This means that only open BDCA events may be ridden.
15. Inter Club Event..
We WON. Congratulations to all who took part in either event. Well done!
16. Winter Programme.
We are looking for new ideas to use on Thursday evenings at the clubroom starting rom the beginning of September. If you can offer to organise an evening or know of someone who would be willing to do so please let a member of the committee know.
We hope to organise Tuesday evening circuit training sessions at Starkholmes Gym, again starting in September. Details later.

23. Club Charity 2000
Every year the club club decides to support a different charity and any fund s raised from a variety of events will be donated the charity chosen for the particular year.
In 2000 the charity is Crossroads.
Crossroads is a registered charity that supports people who care for a physically or mentally disabled person of any age.
Its main objectives are:-
1) To recruit and provide Care Attendants:
to relieve stress in the family or or carer of the disabled person.
To avoid admission to hospital or residential care of the
disabled person shoul a breakdown or other failure occur in the
household.
2) To supplement and complement, no replace, existing statutory services = and to work closely with them.
3) To strive to maintain a high and professional standard of care.
The local scheme, which the club is supporting, started in 1987 in the Northern Dales, expanding South in 1995. It now covers from Edale and the Hope Valley in the North down to Sudbury and Doveridge. The service is open to carers of people of any age or disability, mental or physical. There is normally no charge made for the service, although if the need exceeds the available funding a waiting list can operate.Anyone wishing to know more about this organisation can contact the Scheme Manager at Newholme Hospital, Bakewell. Telephone 01629 812664.
