Ontario Cycling Association AGM

Some of the highlights from yesterday's Annual General Meeting:

- the Association has managed to recover successfully from financial difficulties, posting a surplus on the books. President Jim Crosscombe said that while they will still be conservative with spending, the situation will allow the expansion of member services, including more staff in the office (who are currently being recruited).

- There were no nominations for Board positions up for election (President and V.P. High Performance), so the incumbents (Crosscombe and Glen Meeuwisse) agreed to serve another term (as provided for in the Constitution).

- The Canadian Road Nationals will be held in Hamilton, Ontario for 2002, as a test event for the 2003 World Championships.

- Development V.P. Brad Day ran through some stats regarding rider participation and number of events for last year and the coming season. Road participation was up, mountain bike held steady. The number of O'Cups was down slightly, but there are no road and mountain date conflicts for 2001. An organizer for the Road Provincials is still being sought. Interested parties should contact the OCA.
