Just in case you haven’t already heard the news the World Championships Town Hall meeting will be held next Wednesday, February 2 at the downtown location of Capital Alehouse in Richmond. Here is the original email that was sent out via various mailing lists.

“The time and location for the World Championships Town Hall meeting is now confirmed. We will be holding the event at the Capital Alehouse downtown on Wednesday, February 2. Doors will open at 6:00pm and the program will begin at 6:30pm. We anticipate a 90 minute program, but that will be largely dependent on the amount of interaction from the audience.

We hope that you will all consider joining us. We plan to give you some background on how this bid came about, followed by an open forum where you can provide feedback, offer suggestions, and explore ways to get involved. This is your chance to have your voices heard and to get involved in the process. Your support, and the support of the larger community, is critical to our success.

Capital Alehouse is graciously donating the Music Hall for this event. Like a growing list of business and community leaders, they believe that the opportunity to host a World Championships will have a significant impact on the region, and they want to do their part to help. In return for their support and generosity, we hope that many of you will consider eating dinner and/or drinking a beverage or two during this event.

If you plan to attend please send me an email at tim@shadetreesports.com. Capital Alehouse has asked that we try to estimate the number of attendees so that they can plan for the appropriate number of wait staff. I will send out an RSVP reminder next week.”

Please continue to spread the word and encourage your fellow cyclists to attend. I am also requesting that you RSVP to me (tim@shadetreesports.com) so that we can gauge the numbers for Capital Alehouse. If you have already done so, thanks, no need to RSVP again! If you haven’t and you plan to attend, please send me a quick email. We would like to see a packed house and demonstrate the cycling community’s support for the bid. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at tim@shadetreesports.com or (804) 385-3051.
