a meeting you may want to attend

NOTICE OF COMMUNITY MEETING:

At 7 p.m. on November 27, 2008, the West Central Commuter Cyclists (WC3) will be holding a community meeting at Valour Community Centre Orioles site at 444 Burnell Street to discuss the possibility of creating a community bike repair centre.

WC3 is a non-profit neighbourhood cycling interest group serving Winnipeg’s west central area. We are online at http://groups.google.com/group/westcentralcommutercyclists.

Although no decisions have been made about how it would be organized or how it would be run, the repair centre, proposed to open in 2009 at the Valour Community Centre Orioles site, could be organized as a collective that helps members of the community perform free repairs on their own bikes. Programming relating to cycling education and safety could also be run out of the repair centre.

If you’d like to be part of this project or have an opinion about how this centre could serve the community, please attend.

For those unfamiliar with WC3... it's a pretty loose group that I have been involved for the last couple of years.

Sounds like at least one other FGBC rider will be there (thanks Bill).

not related-directly-but the MCA site(it gets updates?!?) has posted that you guys have a new Prov Coach...with all the energy building perhaps this means the competitive cycling in MB will rise from the ashes......
