Gippsland MTB ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Posted on

It’s that time of year again, and we are holding our 2014 Annual General Meeting on Tuesday the 16th 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.  After a winding back the race calendar this year, we welcome responses and contributions from all our members.

 

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 6 years.
