FEBRUARY 2009 NEWSLETTER Hi Everybody I trust everyone had an enjoyable Festive Season and that you are all back on your bikes, keen for upcoming challenges. CLUB CHAMPS The Tauranga Cycling Club Champs were held on 6 December 2008. We had 49 Club members participate in perfect conditions for the three stages of time trial, road race, and hill climb. When competitors had caught their breath at the top of the Minden, the view certainly shows what a lovely part of the world we all live in. Results of the Club Champs have been posted to the website  HYPERLINK "http://www.taurangacyclingclub.co.nz" www.taurangacyclingclub.co.nz The Club would like to thank Koops Cycles for their sponsorship, along with Mark Ireland who ran the event, ably assisted by Brian Kelly and Brian Melville. Our thanks also to Raewyne Cathie who organised the venue and catering etc. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING At the Annual General Meeting held on 6 December 2008 the election of the following officers occurred: President Greg Taylor Treasurer Richard Bates Secretary Morag Baruch Club Captain Mark Ireland Web Master Keith Monnington Social Event Organiser Raewyne Cathie Thursday night race organiser Talbot Munro Saturday training organiser Steve Came Race Officials and time keepers Brian Kelly and Brian Melville Race Committee Heath Lett, Paul Mahon WAIHI MID SUMMER MADNESS This event was held on 14 December 2008 with eight Club members attending.

Richard Coffey with a win, second and fourth placing in the road races, finished second overall. Well done Richard.
