TREASURER’S REPORT AND 2016 BUDGET
TSC ran a balanced budget for 2015 and ended up with a $1017.60 surplus
TSC had 190 registered members in 2015 – we had only budgeted for 140
Budget for 2016
- New expenses: equipment – race banners, repairs to tents and tent bags
- Special projects – increase this line item to offset unanticipated costs from the X-Fondo event
- We are accumulating money in the bank – structure a deficit for the next budget
Motion to accept the budget as presented: Hugh Hart, Dave Attwell seconded. Motion carried unanimously
Motion to waive the need for an audit of club expenses: Norm Marcy, Louise Wallace seconded. Motion carried unanimously
2015 REPORT FROM TSC HEAD COACH
Report on the Tripleshot Juniors Program
Growth – 30 riders between ages 10 and 16
We now have 4 coaches
We run 4 workouts a week, Fall 7 workouts
Ran a program to get TSC junior riders to national track championships
TSC juniors won 11 medals out of 36 that they contested
Their success – contributions of Kurt Innis and Velodrome – help a huge amount
Riley Pickrell and Sarah Van Dam were underage for Nationals
Collaborating with other youth clubs – agreeing on monthly training camps, trying to do composite teams
Sustainability
Need to find a way to replace money from Global Relay – CrossFondo event may supply this.
How to maintain success at track national, etc.
TS youth won 50% of the Cross on the Rock events
TSC juniors won 15 out of 54 medals at BC cross provincials
Erin Attwell: Tour de Rimouski u19 and won Bronze in youth national
Challenges
Global Relay Grant funds will help to pay Bryson Bowers for coaching services
Have secured two additional volunteers coaches
Aiming for more coaches - need to find more money to pay coaches
Parents are already paying a big chunk – hoping the Cross-Fondo can raise a bunch
Money from TS is being used to leverage other funds (Gaming grant, Global Relay, etc.)
Track Nationals are being moved to April (i.e. within the school year)
Riders are starting to attract individual sponsors – how to deal with this?
