I have been given a number of complimentary 5 day passes for Rotherham Leisure Complex.  When activated the passes allow unlimited use of the facilities at RLC including the pool and state of the art spinning suite.  The spinning suite is is a first class facility with 20 spinning bikes and 10 brand new Watt bikes.

Management at RLC are keen to forge a partnership with RWCC by providing individually tailored training plans and training sessions for our members which would be of particular value in maintaining fitness through the winter months, developing endurance and raising  power output.

RLC have offered to host one or more Watt bike ‘taster’ sessions for our members with a view to then delivering a  bespoke training course.  Taster sessions and training courses would be held to suit member’s availability – daytime, evening or both.

1. Anyone wanting a complimentary RLC 5 day pass, please let me know.
2. Members wishing to attend a Watt bike taster session please let me know and I will arrange.

The General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) came into force on 25 May 2018.  These regulations apply to any organisation, including small sport and social clubs which collect, retain and use personal information which is defined as any information about any living person.  The regulations apply equally in respect of paper records and information held electronically.

The Office of Information Commissioners are responsible for overseeing and enforcing the regulations and can impose severe fines in the case of serious data breeches.  Non compliance is simply not an option.

Currently, with the exception of a few long standing members, the club holds limited information on all members.  This basic information includes names, addresses, email addresses, contact telephone numbers, dates of birth, emergency contact details, and can include brief details of relevant medical conditions as provided on membership application forms.  Club bank statements will also include bank account details of members who have paid their club subscriptions electronically.

The club have never disclosed member’s personal information to third parties for marketing or other purposes, nor is it likely that we would do so in the future except with the expressed consent of the member.  We have however circulated information to members about promotions by or offers from our official club sponsor, JE James Cycles Ltd and from British Cycling.

The club committee have reviewed our use and management of information and have implemented several changes:

1.  We have produced a RWCC privacy policy which explains how we use member’s personal information, our reasons and the legal basis for doing so, subject’s rights in respect of their data and who to contact in the event of concern or complaint.  The privacy policy is available by clicking on the drop down menu on the HOME page on the club website.
2. We have amended our membership application form to include consent […]

Hello all, I hope that nobody minds me posting this.
I am James from J.E James Cycles in Rotherham and I have been speaking with a club member in store today who has informed me that some of you my be interested in some support from ourselves in the way of events such as, maintenance courses, Garmin information/how-to sessions etc.
Would anyone be interested in any of the following courses?
(free of charge of course)
Any other ideas would be welcomed- we want to support our local club.
P.S The next drop of Wheelers team kit is due at the end of February, an event around then would tie in nicely.
Thanks

• Wheelers basic maintenance session
• Wheelers Zwift & Turbo trainer information session

Following discussion at the Wheelers’ AGM on 30 January 2018,  members decided to maintain club subscriptions at £15 for full members and £7:50 for junior and 2nd claim members.

Subscriptions are now due and I would be grateful if members could arrange to pay as soon as possible.  Payment should  be made to me by cash or cheque (payable to Rotherham Wheelers Cycling Club) at any club meeting, club ride or at my home address.  Alternatively, members may pay by electronic transfer to the club account, details of which are unchanged and available from me on request.

Kind Regards

Dave Buxton

Treasurer and Membership Secretary
