February 2005 Volume 9 Number 2
| The President’s Corner |
Hello everyone, January's meeting was my first as president and the
attendance was excellent. Everyone showed up to watch the new
guy mess up! Increased attendance at meetings and club functions
are a priority, so we're off to a good start. Please try and attend
the February meeting if possible. We will by discussing and voting
on a new point system and deciding on organized riding events at various
locations throughout the year. See you at the meeting.

Club Points Competition
The Club
Points Competition is being revitalized for 2005.
We are going to present the points structure at the February
meeting for the Club’s approval. This
competition is meant to be a friendly way to show your support for the
Club’s activities throughout the year and promote a more active overall
club membership. We have a lot planned this year, including
a number of different events and many of our members will be racing
and participating in a number of DualSport events.
Trail work days will be needed through out the year at Coal Creek
and the more people that show up to help, the easier the work will be.
Plan to
be an active member and we look forward to seeing everyone whenever
they have a chance to come out and go riding and to help out with the
different planned Club events. Thank
you for your support!
