Jerseys: In March you will receive a list and prices for Jerseys, Bibs, Jackets, and Skinsuits
(the pricey aero ones). We will order them but this time you pay up front.
We are staying with Pactimo and so the design and colours are registered with them for
speedier delivery.
Sponsorship: Jeff Beeston at Trail Bikes has contacted the club and is going to sponsor the
Time Trial Series and some of the Road Races. A BIG THANKS to Trail Bikes. We will be
contacting the other bike shops with the same offer as last year to help with the Comox Cup
events and to provide draw prizes for volunteers and contestants.
Chuck presented a mock-up of a bulletin board that we hope will find a happy home at each of
the valley bike shops. The bulletin boards will have club contacts, events, and space for the
latest postings.
Andrew is working closely with the Downtown Business Association to host a Downtown Crit.
Racing: Doug is setting up a protocol for all Comox Cup Racers to sign-up for volunteer help
(do it or provide it). We will try the Gentlemenʼs or Gentlewomanʼs agreement that if you race
you also volunteer and help out. Watch for this at comoxvalleycycleclub.blogspot.com/
Meeting adjourned at 8:55
