Next Committee Meeting

Next Committee Meeting to be Friday November 20th 2009 provisionally at Brian's in Ewell.

Can everyone make a 7pm start?
as I think we have a few extra things to discuss.
Let me know if you can't and we can either start without you or I can let everyone else know that it won't be 7pm!

Can all the officers either bring their AGM reports or - preferably - have emailed them to me by then...

We have a long list of club event results to skim through, which I will try to get written down before the meeting, to save time.
There is at least one proposition for the AGM in the works at the moment.
There will be the CTT National agenda to discuss.
There are at least two recent applicants and possibly another one or two who have not been rubber stamped yet - must check!
Club Dinner 2010.

And no doubt some other stuff too.

Eric - message part 2

Eric,

Thanks, application form received - welcome to the Phoenix.

Message for Eric

Eric,

You said you read the blog, so this seems to be almost the only way of communicating!

I have received all three of your messages over the last few weeks and replied to all three of them, the first two replies had an attachment, which I didn't bother with this last time in case that has a bearing on the problem. My email is sent from a Yahoo account, is your ISP blocking emails from such a source? Or have they been sent to a "junk" folder for you?

I am not aware of other emails not being received by other people that I correspond with, although if they don't know I've sent a message they wouldn't know it hadn't been received! Some of the messages I have sent recently have been replied to, so obviously they have been received.

If I manage to plonk the application form online somewhere in the near future, I'll link to it from this post, otherwise Pete will put a paper copy through your door on Thursday on his way somewhere.

Cheers,
Lisa

I guess that pretty much wraps up the trophy winners for 2009 - it's not 100% cut and dried till after the last event, but with only 10s, 25s and Hill Climbs remaining, there shouldn't be much change - if any!

P.S. errors and omissions expected - Frank, I think it's all online so you can check against your calculations...

VTTA 25

October 4th 2009 - H25/2, Marlow ski-slope course.

It's been a quiet year with only one or two riders in any given open event, and almost all the nominated "Open-as-club events" haven't qualified as club events this year as the minimum five riders have not entered.

So....

A sudden surge of late-season interest saw five Phoenix members entered in the VTTA 25 on the H25/2 this morning for a rather leisurely 8am start - not that a 6am wake-up call wasn't in order for some to get there. A pleasantly still and cool-to-warm autumn morning greeted the riders - none of the river mist that we get here sometimes - and the trip proved worthwhile for all five riders, with all doing season's bests and 3 pbing.

Stuart 57:21 pb (was 1:0:32)
Ben 1:00:28 pb (was 1:4:20)
Steve 1:05:40 pb (was 1:6:06)
Jake 1:07:23 (from a 1:9:58 this year, done in May)
Grant 1:16:24 (bettering the 1:16:56 done last month)

Fastest was Nik Bowdler (Farnborough and Camberley CC) - this year's BBAR Champion - in 52:35.

Congratulations to all!
