ANNOUNCEMENTS:

We now need a new VP as Jon has resigned.
Move to nominate Jon Roth if he agrees. Seconded . Passed unanimously.
Move to nominate Mike if he agrees. Seconded. Passed unanimously.

Upcoming stuff: TAKMTB.

Enduro: Jason got the balance sheets: $1900 in expenses, $3100 profit approx (look at the financial statements). Just under 90 participants, maybe we can scale to 150 next time (cap for our insurance).

Just about all feedback was positive, timing came out OK, things worked out well.

Possible change next year: make more technical segments worth more in terms of timing. (Something worth talking about.) Also next year: get the itinerary written down, follow the same procedure.

TAKMTBD: We have two venues (Nox and Jordan) Sunday Oct 7th, preparations are starting to get under way, and volunteers will be appreciated. Insurance, supplies, volunteer riders etc.

TREASURY REPORT:

Approx $4000 in Paypal, $1300 in the other account, update to come.

Discussion of allocation of funds to specific trails: some money should be disbursed especially to Nox (should go to materials – tools etc might need to be owned by the park rather than the club or trail committee). Also, volunteer appreciation day, there’s funds allocated for that too, plus raffles etc.

Shirts, including volunteer shirts: they’re only $7.00 each.

OTHER

We need more group rides, especially in areas other than Sals/Bethlehem. Trex, Nox.

Trex: overgrown.

Nox: Night riding? Hopefullly yes, again.

Meeting adjourned 8:30.
