39th Annual Well Attended

 The 39th Annual General Meeting of the Ski Club was well attended and went off without a hitch. Check  out the official Minutes of the 2011 AGM .  A membership table was set up and a number of people took advantage of the $5. discount by registering before or at the meeting.

Brad, Ray and Beth took in Memberships

The meeting got underway at 7:00 pm on the dot and after a brief business

 meeting of committee reports and elections, moved on to further agenda items.

President Don Boyle introduced a distiguished visitor, Ron Thornbury of the Perth and District Community Foundation. Frank Roy welcomed Ron to the meeting and thanked him on behalf of the Club for the $2000.00  which the Foundation granted to the Club in support of our Youth Development Program.  Details of this item may be followed at www.pdcf.ca/whats-new.htm#ski.

The feature of the evening were the guest speakers Claudia and Dirk van Wijk who gave a very interesting run down of their experience as track grooming volunteers at to 2010 Winter Olympics.

Fun to relive our Olympic moments with fellow ski enthusiasts.  Thank you for thinking of asking me to present to the Tay Valley ski club.  Dirk and I really had a good time.  Don’t normally get to present together.  fun.

Look forward to joining you on the trails this winter.  Cheers to tons of snow !
