AGM this WEDNESDAY, 20 MARCH, 7PM Portland Building, Room C20 or C21 (my memory fails me). Apologies for the short notice. Please come along. Social effort afterwards in the Ark. This is your chance to vote for people for the committee, stand for positions on the NUCC committee to bolster that scant CV of yours, and generally try and drive the club in the direction you want it to go. Want more races/less races? More socials? More trips? More training? Less training? Less pestering from Club sec? More emphasis on any area, be it Road, Trials, BMX, DH, XC, active recruitment of totty etc. End of rant.
Message from the VP
19 March 2002
Just a quick note to say well done on the weekend, for those of you who came up to Hamsterley. Great seeing everyone and some new faces!<BR>Hope everyone had a good time, even if you crashed, got soaked, had mechanicals, forgot to bring a sleeping bag, got pissed as a choir-boy.. Everyone put up with cold like true soldiers and that made for a good atmosphere. Gotta love that Bristol kiddy on Sat night wandering round covered in puke and piss!<P>Special note and the obligatory gold stars for Graham and Nick for being our top dogs in the XC and DH respectively, some hefty drinking fines coming your way at the next social...!</P>
<P>Cheers also to Phil and Andy for driving the whole time, not drinking, losing the van keys...! etc. Much appreciated, gents.</P>
<P>Social wise, I'm thinking of looking into another mixed club event with Wakeboarding / Snowsports etc but nothing confirmed yet.</P>
<P>Sorry for not having gotten the team social kit sorted. Lameness attack on my behalf there. If anyone doesn't want what they said they wanted, let me know so by Friday so I don't order it. Otherwise should have it ready for next term!</P>
<P>Don't forget the AGM on Wednesday night. Your vote counts. <BR>Anyone who's around over Easter get in touch with <A href="mailto:emyttey@nottingham.ac.uk">me</A> for some DH / BMX action, or for XC / Road pain with <A href="mailto:pbgrad@hotmail.com">some other masochist</A>!</P>
<P>Keep riding,</P>
<P>Tom (President of Vice)</P>
