2009 Information

Hello-

Thank you to all who came to the meeting last night, I really appreciate your attendance.

Here is a recap of all that was discussed:

1. Liability Release- I need EVERYONE to sign this so I can turn it into the director of club sports ASAP. The gist of it says that you understand the risks associated with this sport and won’t sue to college in the event that something goes wrong. In addition, it is a medical authorization form as well so again, in the event that something goes wrong, you can receive the proper medical attention. Not that we’re expecting anything to go wrong but its procedure.

2. Emergency Contact and Allergies- I need an emergency contact for everyone participating. Once again, this is a precaution. Please also list any allergies or medical issues that we need to be aware of, like asthma.

3. Practices- Based on the schedules of people in attendance, we decided on the following practice schedule. Keep in mind that this might change after it starts to get darker later and the weather warms up, but for now, this is it. PRACTICES BEGIN MONDAY JAN. 26.

Monday- Long Run, 4:30, meet at the fountain behind the library.
Tuesday- Swim 7:30-9 at the Stern Center Pool
Wed- Bike 4:00, plan on 2 hoursish, meet at the fountain behind the library.
Thurs-Swim 7:30-9 Stern Center Pool
Fri- Run 3:00, meet at the fountain behind the library
Sat- OFF
Sun- 11 am Brick (Bike then Run, so bring a change of shoes with you) Meet at 11 A Smith St. (Sorry boys, everyone volunteered your house. Let me know if this is a problem)

4. Races- Parris Island Sprint Tri Saturday March 16 and East Cooper Tri April 20th. I am in the process of finding another race, preferrably an olympic but I’ll let everyone know about that soon.

5. Shirts- Tinja is working on a design. More info to come.

6. Website- Its still there, if anyone wants to add anything let me know.

7. Uniforms- We’re working on it.

8. Budget- We’ll find out Monday or Tuesday how much we either get or don’t get. As soon as I find out, you will too.

9. Dues- I HATE saying this but we need to start incorporating dues. It will be something small, $50 a semester but it is neccessary. We haven’t had them before because we were a new club and we didn’t want to chase anyone away. However, they are now neccessary in order for us to get money from the school. They need to see that we are creating funds on our end as well and putting forth equal effort. You WILL get this money back however in the form of a race registration, tshirt, etc. More on this to come…

Thanks again and as always, let me know if I can answer any questions.
