Rider Development Programme – 4th July Assessment
A quiet turnout last Saturday as many of you were at the various races out and about; however this did not detract from the as usual excellent performances during your assessments. If you have been promoted – congratulations! If you remain in your current groups, do not despair – ask your coaches for feedback, listen to their guidance and tips, apply the learning, and keep at it. They are there to help you be the best you can be, so please don’t be afraid to talk to them! And speaking of which…
Certificates & Bands
All promotes will have their certificates printed and presented, with bands, on Saturday. For those of you who are waiting on certificates from the previous assessments, you should have this by now – if not, come and see Emma at sign-on. All uncollected certificates will be recycled after a month, unless you notify us to the contrary. So if you haven’t got your award from May, this is your last chance to collect.
And Now, Without Further Ado, July 2015 Promotes
If you don’t see your name in the table, but think this is in error and it should be, please talk to your coaches. Make sure you bring your passports to be signed off if you did not do so last weekend – if you have lost your passport, bring £1 for this to be replaced. Congratulations to the following riders:

WELL DONE ALL OF YOU!
And a Reminder – If You Missed Your Assessment…!
Don’t panic! Don’t despair! When you return to the club, let your Coach know that you missed the assessment, and discuss options with them directly. Unfortunately, with us being such a busy club it is not always possible to arrange a special assessment for any one rider after Assessment Saturday, especially as all our sessions are group sessions and not one-to-one for a number of reasons. However, at the discretion of the group lead Coaches, if it’s practical, and depending which group the rider is in, plus a number of other varying factors such as the size of the group and safety conditions, an assessment may be possible. To be clear, this is not a guarantee and it is important to always talk to the coaches. If you have to wait for the next assessment in a few weeks to show how good you are, do heed the wise words of Head Coach Dave: “The pathway to good performance is a journey of hard work over months and years, not weeks!”
For future assessment dates, check out the Club Calendar online, talk to the Coaches, and keep an eye out in the newsletter for further announcements.
