Dear all
The club has been around for 10 years, it might be time to celebrate. The ACT Chapter has put their hands up to organise the meet which will replace the official Jindy meet this year.
After discussion with the admins, we've decided on the following to make the whole process as democratic as possible so that everyone that wants, gets a say.
Picking a location. A thread will be put up (for two weeks only) asking for suggested locations. You are encouraged to suggest a spot keeping in mind that it must have accommodation for up to 100 people (not necessarily all in the same place, but within walking distance), and a dinner venue for the same. It should also be discrete with good riding roads nearby.
Everyone is welcome to put up an indication of support for a location, but any flaming threads will be removed, the idea is that we find a location with the minimum of fuss. Once the two weeks is up, the thread will be locked and we will pick the most popular four spots. These four will then be voted on via a poll and our decision as a club will be made.
One of the locations will be the annual Snowys Ride.
Picking a date. Four dates will be given (towards the end of the year when it is a bit warmer) and we will vote on it with a poll. The dates will not clash with the Snowys ride or school holidays.
In addition, the idea is that people can participate in the event in a variety of ways, even if they cannot attend the ride. T-shirts will be printed commemorating the aniversary and they will be able to be purchased online. We will be developing a DVD (keep an eye out for when we call for material) and we may vodcast from the dinner.
I am putting this thread in the General Discussion so it is not overlooked. The poll for dates will be in the Riding not Talking thread and will be made sticky for the two weeks it is up.
Time to start getting organised.
