The activity committee makes sure that members can enjoy a nice activity at least once a month. In monthly meetings the most fun activities are planned out by contacting venues and allocate the activity budget as best as possible. Other tasks of the activity committee include collaborating with other student sports associations to organise more involved activities.
The travel committee is each year again entrusted with the task to organise cycling trips abroad. It all starts with the training camp in Spain in January. In meetings the best flights, accommodation, bikes and routes are planned out to ensure an unforgettable cycling holiday!
Then, a few months later, we make ourselves ready for the second trip of the year, the Ardennes weekend. The committee prepares some nice routes including vicious climbs for the climb classification. Additionally, they make a clear logistical plan and search for a nice accommodation.
The Parijs Tilburg committee is responsible for organising one of our biggest events. Every two years, they are faced with the challenge of creating a well-structured plan to make this beautiful ride possible. This includes booking hotel rooms, arranging cars and volunteers, planning the route and stops as well as figuring out a nutrition plan for the riders.
Similarly to all other student cycling associations, De Meet also organises a studentcup every year. During this race, students from the entire country come to Tilburg to compete in our race.
The stucup committee is assigned with the task to organise this race and make sure the day itself runs as smoothly as possible. During monthly meetings, all necessary matters are taken care of to deliver a wonderful race. Examples include arranging the track, getting prices and providing catering during the event.
As De Meet we ride many races and the race committee ensures that Metiers are well-informed about races and answer any questions that may arise. Every year they organise a presentation session in which the yearly calendar and goals are presented. Other pursuits of the race committee include organising the club championships and club time trials.
To maintain our professional and smooth looking Instagram page, a yearly PR committee is installed. Members of the PR committee usually are interested in photography, social media or designing. They make sure that all of our beautiful moments are captured on camera and shared with our followers!
Every five years we celebrate our lustrum with nice activities and a trip. The lustrum committee is formed with experienced members to make a worthy celebration happen. Temporary sponsors are attracted to expand our lustrum celebration possibilities. Examples of activities include a treasure hunt around Tilburg, "bierfiets" and a lustrum trip to the Ardennes.
Without sponsors De Meet would not have been as it currently is. Sponsors are the fundamental base of our association and provide us with the necessary resources to maintain our occupations.
That is why the sponsor committee is so important. The sponsor committee maintains the relationships with current sponsors and also has the task of attracting new sponsors. They do this by reaching out to various companies and sit together in meetings to discuss sponsor terms.
