Velodrome AGM

[Lister Farrar]

GVVA AGM report
The AGM was last night and saw a similar board re-elected, and reports on programs. Bottom line, they're in good financial position, several capital upgrades last year, (tents, rental bikes, new e-bike), many returning directors, (still need some new ones to save us all from burnout). New treasurer is Tripleshot's own Andrea Robson, (a CPA no less!).

The highlight of the night though was Sarah and Riley showing slides and reporting on their junior track worlds experience. They were funny, insightful, had great photos, and offered tips and hints at the process to get to world level and what they would do better next time.

Sarah and Riley will be speaking again together at the Sidney Velo awards banquet December 2 if you want to hear them. I recommend it. http://sidneyvelo.ca/annual-awards-banquet/

Sarah and Riley were wonderful speakers! Interesting and articulate.
FYI I'm continuing on with the GVVA Board again for 2019 as Registrar.

Oops! Sorry Shawn. Especially poor form as you were the one who recruited Andrea. I shouldn’t have gone from memory.

That's actually pretty impressive memory, Lister!
