Hey everyone,

I’ve got some exciting news about our year end social event/dinner. We’ve been in talks with Jack Sasseville from Hardwood Ski and Bike about combining our dinner, with a little bit of night skiing! He’s agreed to offer us 50% of the standard night skiing rate, down from $15 to only $7.50. He’s also giving us a discount on rentals, so there’s no reason we all can’t do some skiing! $13 for classic skis, or $20 for skate.

The only thing left to do is choose a date for the event. At our AGM last week, we discussed holding it on Thursday January 22. Now that Dave has spoken to Jack, we could hold it on Friday, January the 23rd if that date is more agreeable to everyone.

I ask you to please respond to this email to let us know which date works better for more people! If you can change the subject of your reply email to the date you prefer that will make it easier for us to go through and tally the responses, thank you in advance!

Also, I’d like to apologize for not getting the word out about our AGM last week. I had used the old web interface to send an email to all of our members, unfortunately after speaking with several of you, I’ve learned that it didn’t work, and nobody got the email. I have now created my own manual list of members/email addresses to ensure this never happens again. I’d also like to remind everyone to check into the website http://www.barriecycling.com on a weekly basis as we do post any and all relevant info there as well.

Happy Holidays, I look forward to seeing everyone in January!
