2

don’t all shout at once.

3

i think i’m away that day.

4

if there’s no interest I’m cool with that, we can keep it to here.

that or me & Blakey can figure it out or somethin.

5

i’m free all arvo on the 9th. busy before/after lunch.

6

not really sure if a meeting is necessary. we can probably hash out the details in this thread, and on our own time.

7

I don’t think I have anything to contribute. I didn’t go to the last one so I don’t know what could be improved and I don’t have any skills at organising events, especially compared to others here.

8

fiiiiiine, I’ll just eat all the chiiiiiiips myself.

anyone look at the calendar then? was it working? no idea what thread I’m talking about?

9

the calendar is like the front page. noone uses it.

Rolly, I’ll come around Monday arvo and we can hash some stuff out. Probs ~3pm?

10

sweet as.

11

to clarify what i was saying last night - i still think we should have the same judges as last year, for consistency, but also a special guest judge of some well-known framebuilder or something.

12

There is no year to year consistency as we’re changing the categories a bunch too. And if ko/jdl want to enter bike(s) and be eligible for prizes then they’ll need to step down. (Last year I didn’t judge the step through category and scratched all of my bikes from eligibility and that still wasn’t popular with the crowd)

I would like some judging criteria sheets for each category though, some common criteria, and some specific to the cat, grade each item one on a 1-10 scale and total them up.

This isn’t the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, it’s just bikes in a shed.

13

and that whole CX thing is just riding our bikes around a park…

judging criteria: agreed wholeheartedly

jdl / ko entering: yep, figure they know that already.

popularity: blakey, you will always be popular with the FOA SNS crowd… and my heart.
