It’s that time of year again, and we are holding our 2016 Annual General Meeting on Tuesday the 20th of September at 7:00pm at McMillans, Level 3 28 Kay Street, Traralgon.  BEER AND PIZZAS WILL BE PROVIDED.

 

Since its incorporation in 2008, Gippsland MTB has worked with its members, local organisations and government bodies to promote all facets of mountain biking in the region.  

 

All committee positions will be vacant at the AGM, and all nominations are welcome. A club the size of ours can not function without the hard work and dedication of our members.  We urge all of our members to consider taking up a role to help give back to the local mountain biking community.  There are many varied roles available, most are not too time consuming, and all help to continue the hard work that our club members have done in the last 7 years.  There have already been some very hard working committee members who have indicated they will not be fulfilling the roles they have in the past. This is the perfect time for some different faces on the committee.

 

Many hands make light work, and any contributions of you time, no matter how large or small, are greatly appreciated.

 

The following are the roles within the club that are up for grabs:

Role	Tasks
President	Chair meetings, oversee general direction of club
Vice President	Undertake president’s duties in their absence
Secretary	Record meeting minutes, prepare meeting agenda, control club correspondence
