The location of the meeting will be the Neil John Maclean Health Science Library, located on the mezzanine level of the Brodie Centre, 727 McDermot Avenue.

There are two parkades plus street parking available at the library: one off of Emily St and one off of Techumseh St, the Emily Street Parkade would be the best choice. There should be plenty of parking available on the 16th.

To get to the library enter through the doors of the Brodie Centre and go to the mezzanine level (stairs and elevators are to your left just past the bookstore. We will be meeting in the Ross Computer Lab, located on the main floor of the library. In case you are going to be late or you get lost you can call me on my cell at 299-5872.

Women's Mountain Bike Meeting - January 25th, 7:30pm

The MCA Mountain Bike committee would like to get the input of more female riders and racers for the upcoming 2010 season, on how to keep racing competitive and enjoyable for all levels of female racers. We will be discussing the current categories, the race day experience as well as the retention of female racers. We will hopefully also have time for any other comments and concerns.

You do not have to be a racer to participate; past racers, juniors, current racers - the only requirements are being female and coming with a constructive attitude.

We will try to keep the meeting to two hours or less. The feedback will be presented to the MTB committee to help them make some important decisions for the coming season.

The meeting will be held at 7:30 PM, Monday, January 25th at the home of Jane and Kevin Braun. 1140 Lee Blvd. Winnipeg -  255-3245
Refreshments will be served.

If you do not have time to attend, please feel free to forward any feedback to info(AT)elementbdesign.com

Sincerely,
Kevin Braun
