Condors fly high with 300 members

Cowley Road Condors are proud to have reached a historic milestone as they come to the end of 2018.

For the first time in the club’s history, we have reached 300 current members!

35% of these are women which is brilliant for a mixed cycling club and we’re committed to being a constant champion for women’s cycling, aiming for a 50:50 male/female split.

We’re also delighted to see uptake of our recently launched Supporter membership which caters for Condor members who have moved out of Oxford.

Membership	Full	Student	Supporter	Lifetime	Total
Female	87	16	3	–	106
Male	170	22	1	1	194
Total	257	38	4	1	300

Jonny Revis, one of the founding fathers, said: “I think that if the founding members had been asked what was possible when the club was set up, having a 300 strong membership within a decade would have been seen as laughable. The attention that is made to move with the times is for me what sets the club aside from others and comes from a fluid board structure and the people who volunteer to steer this ship”

Cheryl Reid, current president, added: “Reaching 300 members would not have been possible without the many contributions from club members – past and present. I’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has ever led a ride, been involved in training, marshalled an event or displayed the friendly & inclusive values that we cherish so much. Our willingness to try new things, listen to feedback, and not take ourselves too seriously will hopefully stand us in good stead for years to come!”

Chapeau to the brilliant, inspiring and fun loving Condors!
