Lisa P. needs a minimum of 7 to put on a seminar on bike maintence. Possibly April. There is also Sharon’s mini-tri and possibly Tina on swimming.

4. Website question brought up, Is there ability to e-mail members directly to remind them of changes i.e. of cycling time, or workout changes. Also the web page is looking for digital photos for updating. As well as articles.

· Brad, Sharon and Diane met in mid Jan and discussed changes to the website. They included: making the front page more informative with workout times/places, links to Pounders website and TriBC and any quick updates regarding changes, needs for volunteers, etc. Also, we plan to create sub-pages within the website that will give a short history of the Triclub, local races or non local races not listed in the TriBC series, a list of contacts should people have questions, latest minutes and newsletter, etc. If anyone has ideas, please let Sharon or Brad know. We will be sending out an email once Diane has had time to make the changes, so that everyone can visit the updated site.

5. Pounders/TriClub amalgamation discussion followed led by Brad L. brought up concerns about joining.

· This was discussed at the Pounders AGM this January, and the consensus was that more research into the “how’s” was needed. Neil, Brad and Sharon agreed to contact people to get more information; primarily the concern was insurance coverage and how the executive would look. We do have some information from outside sources now, and will be meeting on Wed Feb 2. Anyone is invited to come with their opinions and ideas.

6. Update on local IM jerseys and club shorts/socks Is it viable?

· If Gord or Christine is here….I have received interest from 7 people for club socks and 3 for club cycling shorts
