Ride Vouchers
Discussion around old ride cards still being claimed – committee agreed that New Year New Start – old ride cards are no longer valid. New ride cards will be issued with a use by date for the year of issue.
All those attending BAM will receive a free ride voucher – to be used in the year of issue
Ride vouchers issued this year need to be booked with Danni Fuller by rider in advance of the ride – Danni to then cross check this off a spread sheet so it is clear when they have been used. Spread sheet to be started at BAM and then added to. This system will be trialled for a year and then reviewed by committee.
