2010 GSW General Meeting Information & Schedule

The GSW meets the second Monday of the month, March through October, from 7 – 9 PM. These meetings are held at our sponsoring bike shops. The idea was created a few years ago in an attempt to increase attendance at meetings. It also reduces the distance people have to drive. If you haven’t been to a monthly meeting, please try it this year! The shops enjoy the chance to meet the membership and you’ll have a chance to meet fellow club members as well as meet some people who are checking out GSW for the first time. You’ll also have the chance to drool over the latest and greatest offerings from the various bike manufacturers. Short programs will be offered by the sponsors, but not a “sales pitch”. On the other hand, if money is burning a hole in your pocket, they’ll be more than happy to solve that problem! Enjoyable and informative evenings are planned in a low-key bicycling environment. Come and bring a friend to the wonderful world of bicycling. The agenda is flexible but does follow some basic guide lines:

-- Introduction of all attendees

-- Brief review of recent and upcoming GSW events

--Update on BWA-NH bicycling advocacy and education efforts

-- Short program by the host shop that is somehow related to bicycling! It could be riding tips, maintenance tips, or information on new products. Come and be surprised!

-- Question and answer period

-- Social time to “mix and mingle”

-- Free snack items will be provided by the GSW

Mark your calendars and join us for a full season of interesting meetings in different places. Please see our listing of GSW Sponsors for exact locations and phone numbers.
