Lucky enough to have a work club with a bit of a positive balance. Not huge but healthy.

We’ve done:

Subsidised kit, travel for trips away, paid for tt license, bought a couple of static bikes for the sheds, bought tools to share. And probably some other stuff I’ve forgotten.

Short of the committee spending it all on a really good agm any other thoughts?

Coaching and/or putting people through their coaching badges?

Or give it to me.

If it’s a mountain bike club, is there a local trail centre where you could help fund trail building?

What about subsided coaching?

We have a number of coaches throughout the year of varying dicaplines and targeted to the wide range of folks in the club. For instance this years been promoting Women, so most of the talks and courses have been around that sphere.

Road club, apart from underpinning our races and a few social events, nothing, we’ve got tens of thousands swilling around

Club is setup to cover all disciplines but basically most road focused.

Coaching is a good call to look into

We’re an MTB club with a big GoRide programme so spend our income on coaching courses and kit – limbo bars, cones etc. Over the past few years we’ve also bought first aid kids, walkie-talkies, rented portaloos for our race days, and the like, plus we subsidised branded hoodies for the coaches.
