The four committee members remain Rawle Felix, Fizal Ally, Pearl Arokium and Ganesh Singh.
Former New Amsterdam Mayor and Businessman Errol Alphonso is still the Patron of the club.
Up and coming cyclist Balram Narine has a lot of responsibilities placed on his shoulders. He is the new Club Captain and will double up as the Assistant Coach. Narine, who hails from the Upper Corentyne area, will be responsible for coaching the cyclists in the area with a view of assisting Roberts in unearthing new members.
Former Long serving Secretary Rhonda Russell remains an honorary member.
Lewis thanked the club for continuing to show fate in him and expressed his pleasure in continuing to work with the club. He congratulated all the members for a job well done and had special words of commendation for the cyclists who help to keep the name of the club on its high pedestal. He also congratulated those that participated in the club’s activities last year especially those who did well, while wishing them a better year in 2018.
