Year End Report

● 2024 in review - Travis went over items in the attached summary.

● 2025 discussion

-Declining memberships. Travis suggested fun rides & events where membership is

mandatory. Sarah offered to work with the club to promote events on the race

calendar, and will see if we could host an event in May. Another idea: Host a C/D

race. Use the QR code and use it to advertise at camp to encourage memberships

(this is already being done in the new brochures).. Travis will ask Dual Sport BC to

put some of our pamphlets on tables at the motorcycle show. Sarah offered to put

some pamphlets on the PN table as well.

-Low membership involvement in maintenance days could be improved by giving

some swag away? This idea will be followed up on.

-RSTBC - It looks promising for our section, just give it time.

-Directors presence at the camp / on trails is encouraged. Make a point of interacting

with people at the riding area, encouraging membership and involvement..

-FVDRA’s website, does it need a review? Some information is outdated and it could

use a refresh. Sarah and Theresa will chat.

-FVDRA’s 2025 Memberships will have the insurance company’s Speedwaiver

incorporated into the new memberships for now. Sarah ( through PN) and Travis will

dialog with the insurance broker to clarify and push back on the waiver.

-Facebook page. Directors are encouraged to answer questions on the page.

-Access to camp (the road) is a detriment, Travis will pursue funding from CLCCF to

improve the road.

estimates for the engineering and possible placement
