Turbo Sessions

A reminder that there is a turbo training session starting tomorrow (Saturday) at the Ellon Community Centre at 10am. The session will last an hour, or until the first Ythanite starts crying for mercy!!!!!

Cost is £1.50.

Please arrive about 10 mins early to get set up.

Remember, plenty of water, a towel and a copy of the yellow pages!

Please ensure bikes are clean as we don’t want a bill from the community centre for cleaning up oil, mud splattered on the walls, blood or spewings- yuck

Thanks

New Ythan kit for 2012

Last night at the committee meeting a new Ythan kit was chosen. Andy Duncan has been sweating over a hot computer trying to photoshop designs together and the committee decided by vote which design (or combinations of designs was best).

 Over the last few years we have been increasingly frustrated with the varying quality, price increases and variations in sizing from our current supplier – Impsport.

It was decided to try a new supplier and Champion Systems were chosen to trial last years “alternative kit”. This trial was successful as the quality was good and sizing was found to be spot on with the measurements on their website.

So for 2012 a new kit has been designed and orders will be taken shortly so that an order can be placed with Champion Systems in mid January. This should ensure that the new kit will be here in time for the new season races.

The new kit is similar to the existing kit (blue with black front and rear panels) and is not a radical change from what we have at the moment. This will mean that existing kit can be used for races next season. The new kit will also have the 25 year anniversary logo on it.

Proof images of the new kit along with pricing, order deadlines and details of how to order will appear shortly. Note the ordering system means we will not be able to order single items or change the order once it has been sent. This means it is vital you meet the deadlines set for ordering.

If you are considering buying Ythan kit in the near future we suggest that you refrain from ordering from Impsport.

If you are concerned about sizing for the kit there are a number of members who have the alternative kit from Champion systems and so you can ask to try on a jersey before you buy.

There is a wide range of garments available which can be found via this link:

A few Ythan notices,

On Wednesday evening at 19.30 at the Ellon golf club we are holding our committee meeting. The main points to be discussed at the meeting will be:

• Membership fees for 2012
• 2011 trophy winners
• New kit for 2012 ~(designs to be presented by Andy D)
• Ideas for our 25 year anniversary celebrations in 2012

 If you haven't yet returned your 2010 trophy to Andy could you please do it by Wednesday so we can get them engraved for this year's winners.

Next Saturday morning at 10.00 at the community centre there is a turbo training session. Costs are £1.50. All welcome. Get there early to set up your turbo or rollers.
