TTC Meeting 9/7/04 results:

We voted to have the Grand Prix Schedule line up with our calendar/physical year (Jan 1 – Dec31). This is what’s going to take place:  

September – December 2004 GP races will be called the 2004 Mini-Grand Prix. All GP races will be of equal point value. Then beginning in January 2005 we will have the 2005 Grand Prix race schedule. It was decided that the board would decide on the details of the 2005 year (points / a fall GP schedule – spring GP schedule or a 12 month schedule, etc.) this will be discussed by the board and we will have a decision within the next few of weeks (NLT 10/30/04).  

The other main topic was “points” – it was decided that all races would be of equal value now that we have a number races longer than a 5K (6). That was the main purpose of “double points” for 10K’s last year, to draw a few more, longer distance races than what we had (2). As it now stands, we are back to any race 15K or Longer will be eligible for double points unless something would come up to change that.  

Updates:  

TTC t-shirts are being printed, uniforms that were ordered by members – have been ordered and once received will be printed w/ logos as well.

Also, we need volunteers to work various positions at races (TTC responsibilities) and if you volunteer, you MUST contact Anne Culp <aculp@ches.ua.edu> our race volunteer coordinator. There will be a reason for this but for now all you need to know is, “it’s a surprise”.
