Perth Mountain Bike Club

Hello All,

For your information the Mt. Lennard Mountain Bike Trail area has been ear marked for a Spring Prescribed burn. I was notified by the Wellington District Fire co-coordinator that this burn is going to commence next week, most likely starting on Monday the 10th of November. To ensure the safety of all users we are going to close the trail system on Saturday the 8th of November for at least three weeks. The trails will be re-opened once the area has been deemed safe buy the Department of Environment and Conservation. If you have any questions, comments or concerns please contact the Collie DEC Office on 9734 1988.

I know this is a bummer but thank you for cooperating.

Cheers,

Ryan Boylan

Bryn Hawken will be attending the MTBA AGM to be held this weekend at the Adelaide national round. There are not a lot of people at the meeting and it usually depends on proxies, so let WA have some power and fill in the attached proxy form and mail to Bryn at (needs to get there by the end of the week):

Bryn Hawken

Bryn and John Carney will be meeting at the Inglewood Hotel at 5:00pm on Friday 31st to discuss issues to raise at the AGM. You can drop off the proxy form then and also let them know if you have any issues you want covered.

PMBC has 230 members. If half of them filled in proxies, we would probably have the majority vote based on numbers at the last AGM!

The club presentations and AGM will be on the 8th November at the Perth Bowling club on Plain st East Perth. The evening will start at 6pm with the club presentations and Annual General Meeting and then we will break for dinner and then do the State Series presentations. We will aim to get the dinner and State Series presentations underway by 730pm.

The Annual General meeting will be about 30 minutes long and is your chance to elect the 2009 club committee. It is a great chance to see what the club does and why it is so easy to be part of it. As previously mentioned a lot of the committee is standing down after serving for a few years. WE will be looking for a new President, Treasuer, XC Vice President and other general committee members. Each of those standing down will help with the hand over so the job won't be too hard.

Come along it will be a great night and a chance to have a drink with those that you race with and against.

John
President (not for long)

There was a rumour that Sam was racing at Nannup and the latest from Miik who got an e-mail from him is that he wanted to come ride Nannup, but there are some extra commitments that he is dealing with in the USA so he will not be able to come to the race.

PMBC wish him all the best for his future race team situation and of course for the 2009 world cup race season.

Cheers,

Steve 'Clubber of Seals'

The good folks at the Yoho Pizza Yollo Company, Charlie and Lisa Cannon, are very kindly assisting with catering for the State Champs event. They will be doing tacos and a few other assortments over the course of the weekend.

They also have their own mobile Pizza Oven and do fantastic wood fired pizzas. Charlie has told me that they would be available to any groups heading down over the weekend who may want some private catering for dinner parties etc.

These guys really do some fantastic food and have supported our events in the past so lets try to support those that support us.

Yeah that's right the talented Aaron Kanters has designed a poster for the race. Check it out, he's done another awesome job.

Speciality Volunteers:
We need some volunteers to help with the marshalling and the start gate for the Nannup State Champs Rd 5, at Lewana Pine Plantation. We will need 5 marshalls for practice on Saturaday 4th Oct (10am to 4pm), and on race day (Sunday 5th Oct; 8am to 2pm) we will need at least 5 marshalls as well as 2 people to supervise the start gate for the race. The special volunteers will receive a lunch, but because the PMBC has been operating at a loss for the last few events this year we will not be able to give out anymore free regos. If you are able to help us run this event could you please send me an e-mail ASAP to: dh@perthmtb.com Thank You!

Cheers, Clubber.
