As in the past, our casual AGM will be held outdoors - weather permitting - at the warming hut of the Nordic Centre on Sunday July 21, 2019 starting at 4 pm. Come and hear the various reports about our accomplishments during the last season and learn the plan for the next. Bring your comments and questions so you may quiz each director about any point of interest! Pizzas will be served after the meeting - bring a dish to share if you wish. It has always been sunny and warm on the day of the AGM - fingers crossed - and there is plenty of bike parking space.
Thank you to all who have participated in our annual survey for the 2018-2019 season. Click HERE to see all the
