Winding Up 2002

Oh
dear! It's that time of year
again. The BC Randonneurs most popular
event, the AGM, is due to take place on September 29.
The Place:
Bedford
House Restaurant, on Glover Road, Fort Langley, twixt Rail and River on the
east side of the road opposite the Fort Pub.
The Programme:
Meet in
Marina Park, north end of Church Street, (Park in municipal parking lot, not
Bedford House) at 09:30 for a 10:00 start to the morning's ride. Maps and route sheets will be issued but you
can go where the hell you please provided you are back at the Bedford House for
13:00 with your money in your hot little hand.
After
enjoying the buffet we will hold a brief business meeting with, hopefully, all
the positions to be filled having eager novices ready to take up the
reins. (That’s how it normally happens
anyway).
We are then
free to go, although there is so much to say to all the people we normally only
get to "Hi" or "Everything alright?" to during events that
it takes a while to clear the floor.
The buffet
costs $13.95 – But we like to have the staff on side and so we calculate a
price including the 7% GST and a 15% gratuity.
That works out to $17.02. We
don't like the idea of trying to collect that sort of sum so our generous
treasurer subsidizes the cost so we pay $15.00 or $10.00 for juniors less than
12 years of age.
This year we
ran out of pins and Karen Smith is frantically trying to decide how many to
order. I hope she has them in time for
the AGM; it's an ideal opportunity to present pins.
We do not
require pre-payment BUT we do need to notify the Bedford House "How
many" and I do that during the week before. At present we have the place booked for 40 to 80! SO, if you intend to be at the brunch please
let me know:
