Latest uni class / club update
We have one week left for the official close of the uni class. The class has been well received by the participants and the church who is allowing us to us the gym. I just got approval to keep using the gym on a weekly basis and most of our present riders are excited that we have a weekly meeting place. We now have a core group of unicyclists and a weekly meeting place which is crucial to my plans for growth of the sport in our area. We average 10 riders per session and are continuing to see people showing interest in learning. A couple of known riders from the area have yet to show up to join us for an evening. As I had planned (and hoped!), the class has given us a solid foundation for the beginnings of a club. I am very pleased with the fruits of our labor. I say "our" because of the great support I have had from some of the other people in our group. I initiated the class and got it started, but much credit goes to Chris and Bob (unidaddy). Chris has done a great job of recruiting others to join us and Bob has been selfless in helping me teach the newbies. Thanks guys! To celebrate the completion of the class and the "beginning" of our uni club (unofficialy a club) we are riding in a local Christmas Parade. Looks like we will have at least 8 local riders in the parade! Needless to say, I am pumped! Next step will be to organize a leadership group, establish some goals and move forward with plans for club unicycles, trials props, performances (for promotion and fundraising) and for recruiting more members. Looks like 2005 is going to be a big unicycling year for Washington County.
