Club Outfits The treasurer is holding a small stock short sleeve jerseys (3 medium and 2 large) on sale at £28 each and 2 sets of Arm Warmers at £12 each Club Rooms Work is progressing on re-instating the floor, but further areas of rot have been uncovered. Works are being carried out on most Wednesdays, anyone able to help should contact Tom or Ron. Bothy Following on from the special committee meeting held at Roundyhill on the 24th March a highly productive (and enjoyable) weekend was held on 9-11 April at the Bothy. The weather was kind to us and 3 walls of the Bothy were reclad as well as a number of other pieces of work. Running out of material meant that the 4th wall is still to be done. A barbeque/working party has been arranged for the weekend of 4-6th June when we anticipate that the renovations will be complete. The Bothy is looking good--- many thanks to all club members who helped out. Try to get along and see for yourself! Club Rooms The essential repairs to the floor have been carried out but a final tidy up and reorganisation has yet to be done-- nothing major but getting people together has proved difficult. The small group looking at the future for the club rooms should be meeting soon to take the discussion forward. Once again thanks are due to the club members who have undertaken this work to date. Forfar Roof Truss Award Scheme Some club members may have seen a picture in the Dispatch a little while ago where the club president was pictured receiving a cheque for £250 from the scheme. The President is still in the country and the cheque has been deposited in the club account!!! Minutes Angus Cycling Club Committee Meeting 13th May 2010
