Golden
Triangle Running & Cycling Club Minutes for
Present: Dave Peebles, Tom Kennedy, O.K. Bryant,
Tallulah Bryant, Peter Rabideau, Jennifer Rabideau, Betty Gill and Josh
Dotzenberger (guest)
Agenda:
1. The January officer’s meeting was held at
2. Tom Kennedy, treasurer, gave an update on the
budget and has sent the annual report to the officers. The club’s old account
has been closed and a new one opened under GTRCC with a VISA credit card and a
debit card. The main expenses this year
were for brochures and the Christmas party. It was agreed that we would order
200 brochures this year instead of 400, and Dave will get the prices. He noted
that membership is down, and there are still quite a few members who have not
renewed their membership for 2008.
3. O.K. Bryant, Grand Prix/Race chairman, went
over the tentative Grand Prix schedule for 2008. Most of the races and dates are similar to
last year. Two new races, the Columbus AFB BLAZE race and the Johnny Cash race
were discussed. The BLAZE race is Feb 23 (5K and 10K), and O.K. has e-mailed the BLAZE brochure
to members. Tentative plans were made to
replace the Roger Pritchett race, which is uncertain, with the BLAZE race after
he meets with base personnel again this week. He was told that runners should
not have a problem getting on base, but they would have to pre-register. The Johnny Cash race is Nov 1, which is the
same day as the Vardaman Sweet Potato Festival, but it would raise money for
the club since we would get the registration fees and we would not have to
purchase trophies or t-shirts. However,
a race director is needed before a final decision can be made. This item is still open as we try to find
someone who will be the director. The
cycling category was taken off the Grand Prix due to lack of participants in
that category.
4.
Dave reported said that Lisa Landrum has agreed to coordinate the long bike
ride this year, and he has asked Mark Crigler to be
the Group Ride Chair again. Peter
Rabideau, vice-president, agreed to try to find guest speakers for some of the
future meetings.
5. The meeting adjourned at approximately
