BCC Newsletter January 2008
Monday, January 21st, 2008Welcome to the 2008 season of the BCC. I hope everyone had a great holiday season and are now faithfully getting in their training time in preparation for the start of the ride season.
There are a number of things to update the membership on since the end of the riding season.
The BCC AGM was held on Dec.13/07 at the Midhurst Community Centre. Club elections were conducted at that time and as a result the executive is composed as follows:
President- Dave Fabbro
Treasurer- Orrin Bowser
Race Director- Mike Doble
Secretary- Robb Meier
Director of Communication- Don Gain
Year end reports were presented at that time by members of the 2007 executive. For those unable to attend the AGM, I have included the President’s Report which summarizes a number of highlights of our 2007 season.
If any club member is taking out a race licence issued by the OCA, and intends to race under the BCC colours, please insure that the BCC is shown on your application in the appropriate spot.
The 2008 membership forms are now up on the website. Please look at the Membership Information Page to download the forms. As in the past they can be mailed to the club PO Box or dropped off at The Trek Store or Bikeland in Barrie. Membership fees have remained the same this year with the exception of Junior fees. In an effort to increase our youth membership we have reduced the Junior fee to $26. Also, if the Junior has a UCI/Citizen Permit the club fee is reduced to $0. For full details refer to the Membership page.
We have an inventory of BCC clothing that is available for purchase
at very attractive pricing. The following are the prices and availability:

Please send Dave an e-mail if you are interested in clothing.
We will once again be doing a couple of Nordic ski days at Hardwood Hills. There will be a specially priced trail ticket of $17 and for those needing rentals they will be half price. There are plenty of classic rentals, however if you are interested in skating it will be a good idea to call ahead and reserve as there are limited numbers available. Call Dave at Hardwood Hills to make these arrangements.
The 2 days that we will be doing this are:
Sunday- January 27th;
Sunday- February 24th
