CMBC AGM

October 2, 2008

Minutes

1. Intro

• Devon gave a brief overview of what CMBC does for the community, what members receive from joining club, insurance cost break down.

2. Additions to agenda

• Description of needed Board positions

• Need to promote more recreational aspects of club

3. Update on last year by Devon and Jonah

• Lost Board members for 2008 season – too much work for only Jonah and Devon to do

• 2008 season had one major event a month as opposed to 2007 where we hosted biweekly smaller events. CMBC is still trying to find the right blend.

• DH race was very successful.

• DH race, high school mt bike races successful – why low registration for KOC? We need to figure out why?

• Trail advocacy is needed as more trail issues are arising. Ie. The destruction of Boogaloo stunts

• All CMBC supported organized events for 2008 were successful (24 hours of light, Dri-Tri, Long Lake Triathlon, Thursday social rides). King of the Canyon is not a CMBC event but Yukon Cycling Association championship race. Fury of the Yukon did not go ahead this year. Volunteers are needed for this event to work.

• Volunteers for running various events – will post on the website as needed
