CGC January 2010 Meeting

Happy New Year Everyone! The first meeting of the New Year will be on Jan 8 at the Dunkin Donuts on Hwy 96 at 6pm. We will discuss a bylaw change to move the annual membership renewal date later in the year so it doesn't require members to renew right before an election. Members will elect new officers for 2010. Please come out and join us!

Arrowhead Work Party on Dec. 13

As some of you may know, the trail at Lake Arrowhead was destroyed last year by storms. OMBA has been working diligently to try to rebuild it by sponsoring work parties where we can help them clear the new trail. The next work party is planned for Sunday, December 13th at 9 AM. OMBA will provide some training on tread construction and then we will get started cutting the tread. Bring work clothes, sturdy shoes, gloves, water, and snacks. They have all of the tools that will be needed and will provide lunch (probably pizza) but bring your own if you are picky. See OMBA Website.

Dirty Duathlon Rescheduled to Dec. 12

This is from the OMBA website. NOTE THE LOCATION CHANGE.

"We have decided to reschedule the Dirty ex-Dauset Duathlon to Saturday, December 12th at 10 AM. The race location will also be moved to the Georgia Industrial Children's Home in Macon. This course is used each year in the GSC series so some of you may be familiar with it.

Registrations will carry over to the new date automatically. We are also accepting new registrations.

If you have registered and cannot make the new race date, please send an email to sorba_omba AT yahoo DOT com to let us know. We will send you a full refund. If you still want the long sleeve Zorrell shirt we can send that to you as well for $17.

Unfortunately, the festival will not be rescheduled for this year."
