GMBC Mugs & Buffs – for AGM

  By ,

MUGS

The GMBC mugs have arrived and they look fantastic. I will have them at the AGM and they are £3 each. I might have a couple spare too for anyone that hasn’t pre-ordered. Also, I can do a repeat order if there is a demand for more. For the record, I ordered 36 mugs for £100 (£90 mugs + £10 postage & packaging). This makes the unit cost £2.78 per mug, and to avoid giving out change each mug will come with a ‘free’ Freddo chocolate bar.

25 Year Anniversary Buffs

Graham Anderton has organised the buffs. They are ~£10 each. As we only have a limited number then a raffle of names will be drawn at the AGM, for those that want to purchase a buff.

Ben Vorlich & Ben Ledi – 25th Weekend

  By ,

It was a tough climb more or less straight out the blocks or for me a tough walk, though I have discovered a better way to carry the bike, wheels forward. The rocks are quite loose making it extra challenging. There is also no warm up in the descent, it is a straight down from the word go. We all made it down with not too much damage. Continue reading

25th Weekender- Update & Payments

  By ,

Hi Folks, 
 
Payments

Some of you have contacted me over the last few days about the payment. Can I please ask all those who have paid, to mark the date against the spreadsheet, attached. This will help me to check the account, against the date. 

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ao0LOxPa2I83dHNsZmVXNzM4c3o3Y3BoM2ZZdzZMX1E
 
There are a still a few folk to pay- can you please do this asap, or contact me if you need to make an alternative arrangement. 

Catering – all bookings now closed.

As we have now passed the deadline for committing to come, if you’ve not added your name to the google doc, I’m afraid time is up. From now on, most communication will be done via email, to those who have signed up. Keep a look out, as we need you all to help , just a wee bit!!

Events 

More to follow on this, but as this is a weekend to celebrate the club starting in 1987, it might be nice to dig out your oldest, retro bike gear and music. Some of you may even have some tapes from the year!
Thanks
 
Sam(on behalf of the committee)

If you do not have access to online banking, you can pay at any Bank of Scotland branch quoting the bank account details sent through the email group

Branch:  branch Byres Road, if they ask.

If you have any queries regarding payment, just drop me a line, and I’ll try to help.

Cheers, Sam

25th Weekender – Accommodation Payment & Update

  By , ,
Hi All,
 
The good news is there looks to be a great turn out for the weekend’s celebrations in August!! Last time we had said payment would be based on numbers coming, so taking this into account, plus the non-members who are coming, the costs are as follows:
 
How Much?
Members- £16 per person per night (which includes continental brekkie, remember!)
 
Non – Members- £20 per person per night (brekkie still included)
 
How to Pay
As the BACS payment system worked so well for the tops, we’d like to use the same process for this, including coding your payment with your name. The link below takes you to a speadsheet with the amount each person is due, once you’ve paid, if you can just indicate the date paid in the column. The BACS details will be sent out via email. To help us with organsing, can you please pay by FRIDAY 3rd AUGUST.
 
 
 
Some Spaces Left
There are still a few beds left, 2 on the saturday night, and 10 on the friday night. If you’d still like to come, please contact me directly via email – sammygrovesAThotmail.co.uk Or, if you think you may want to come for the day or BBQ on the saturday, we need to know by Friday 3rd. Again, just get in touch with me.
 In addition to the club subsiding the accomodation, we also plan to contribute to the catering from club funds, including the BBQ planned for the saturday night. More details will follow from various committee members over the next couple of weeks, including asking for some help from those who offered.   Watch this space!
 Think that’s all folks!
