2008 GSW General Meeting Information & Schedule
For
2008 we have decided to repeat last year's concept of holding our monthly
meetings at our sponsoring bike shops. The idea was well received last
year, although attendance was not as great as we would have hoped. Those
who traveled to their local and not so local shops had a wonderful opportunity
to meet new bicyclists, get acquainted with a new bike shop, and perhaps
even better, lust over the latest bicycles and accessories. By having
the meetings in various towns, we hope to attract more members, guests,
and potential members while introducing more people to our sponsors. 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. Since most bike shops
don't have large auditoriums, you might want to bring a folding chair
if you have trouble standing. Most importantly, come and bring a friend
to introduce to our wonderful world of bicycling.
All 2008
meetings are scheduled for the second Monday of the month, March through
October, from 7 - 9 p.m. The agenda is flexible but is to 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, 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
