At the last LOC Council meeting a decision was made to form a team to manage the spending of the $1000.00 beyond the normal budgeted items as per the attached document “Strengthening the Club”. The team will decide on the items to spend on, the amount of subsidy and track the spending. They will also coordinate the spending with the Treasurer and update LOC Council on progress.

If you have any interest to serve on this team, pleas reply to me by email before Monday 23 October to express your interest. (One cycling committee member and one cycling member at large will probably suffice).

Some suggestions the excess funds could be spent on, including training, first aid kits, jerseys, rash guard, tee shirts etc as shown below:
