Membership Meeting Wednesday Night

The April PMBA General Membership meeting will be held this Wednesday April 7 at at the Ugly Moose in Manayunk.  The meeting will be held at the Garage, which is in the same parking lot.  It's a great place to ride to, but car parking is limited.   There will be no food or drink servers in the Garage, so get your food and drinks at the Ugly Moose. 

Meeting topics will include the race team, the Summit Avenue trail work, a status report on the Bike Park, discussion of the website revisions - and of course the planning for the Rally in the Valley event! 

And future General Membership meeting this year will be on the first Wednesday night of the month, so mark your calendar through October.

Letter from the new PMBA President

Dear PMBA,

On Wednesday September 30th, 2009 the Board of Directors assembled for the monthly BOD meeting.  This meeting was particularly interesting as it was also the annual Executive elections.  As many of you might have heard, Lou Harris (President), Rob Krotee (Vice President) and Chris Hunter (Vice President) have retired from the executive positions to allow some new blood to steer the ship for a while.  Actually, it is speculated they just wanted to ride more, but I digress....
