25th Anniversary Weekender- Whose Coming?

Hi All,

Based on the levels of interest expressed for the 25th Anniversary Weekender in August (17th-19th), the committee has booked the hostel. Now we need to fill!!  As you know, we need to atleast 20 people to commit to staying both nights, at a cost of approx. £20ppn. This will be dependant on the numbers and who commits.

Graham has created a fancy Google form for you to fill in. This will help us to not only work out number of beds required, but also asks for your ideas of activities you’d like to offered over the weekend.

If you wish to bring family, partners or children you will need to fill one out for each person in your group, but we can work out that you are together! The hostel does have some family rooms, which will be allocated on first come first term basic to those requiring them.

Due to the rapidly approaching date, we need everyone who wishes to come to fill the form in by Friday 13th July, to give us time to work out the payment details etc.

Let’s all make this a great 25th Anniversary- we should all have our tops by then! ;-))

So here are the details for payment and collection of the 25th anniversary club tops….. Continue reading

Special Edition GMBC 25th Anniversary Club Top Design

Courtesy of Stephen Malaney’s whizzkid design skillz, we are pleased to unveil the Special Edition club top designed for the 25th anniversary year.  Please see Barry’s previous post about trying on the sizing kit which is currently kept in the club hall.  We will be taking the sizing kit up to Ballater so that as many people as possible have a chance to try on jerseys.

Many thanks to Stephen for his hard work and patience putting up with the myriad of tweaks that we asked for.

GMBC 25th Anniversary Events

As you may, or may not, be aware GMBC was born way back in the mists of time, sometime in 1987 – a time when mountain bikes were purple and Phil “Old Man” Draper was simply Phil Draper.  Mountain biking has changed a lot in the last 25 years and the club will have evolved and changed as its members have come and gone.  It’s a fantastic achievement that the club is still strong after all this time and it’s a fact worth celebrating.

Hmmm, birthday cake!
