AGM – Annual General Meeting.

Jan 9, 2008
7:30 pm
Coast Hotel – Conference room

Come on out to the AGM, for our yearly update of Club activities, election of officers, and general discussion. Now is the time to speak up on any issues you have on your mind, and to ask us about the trails, and give us direction.

You don’t need to be a member to attend.

Also – this is the preferred time to signup for another year of membership. If you’ve signed up in the last three months, just show up and fill in a new form and we’ll extend your membership to the end of 2008.

We’re also looking to recruit a VP.

We gave Pink Bikes “Bikes for kids” $250 this winter
and will be sending $250 to Kamloops to aid them in rebuilding . As well spent $390.00 on Westside DJ area for a safety railing.
This was from the profits of Bear mtn Challenge.
In supplies we went through something like 20/ 50Lb boxs of galvanized spiral spikes, a lot of shovels /pulaski’s/ huge amount of hours working on the trails.
We had something like eight official trail days and all our trails show the “love” from the efforts.
Look to exciting news as we continue the steps towards “legalization of our trail networks”.
This is a great time to show your support , become a member of fvmba , or renew your membership. Larger membership gives us a louder voice ,it also shows support for the work we continue ,for the betterment of all riders.
