MIVA is looking forward to acting as the host club for Race #6 in the Cross on the Rock series, taking place Sunday November 8th, at Arbutus Meadows.... LITTLE PONY CROSS returns!

All the race details are available HERE. From there you can register (right now) for the race.

This race is on the back end of a doubleheader, meaning we *really* need a volunteer crew to help set up the course on Saturday, and take down Sunday. Please contact Ron at hewitsonron@gmail.com if you can volunteer!  Spread the word and come on out!  In 2013 the Pony Cross debuted at Arbutus Meadows and 173 racers took part. In 2014 attendance went through the roof to 241! With the Cross On The Rock races breaking records left right and center, let's take one down ourselves.

Posters (above) will be ready shortly so if you'd like one to put up somewhere to get the word out, let Ron know.

More information to come soon, including Tshirts and detailed volunteer assignments. Last year there was a (huge) amazing group of MIVA members who came to set this race up.

Monday, October 12th in Victoria, please support another great Cross On The Rock race! Details here: http://www.crossontherock.com/races/race3/ If any MIVA member is wishing to bring the MIVA tent to this or any other cross race please let us know, we'd be happy to loan it out.

MIVA's AGM (short) and Awards Night/Draw Prize Extravaganza (longer, but awesome) is taking place on Friday November 13th at the Longwood upstairs. All MIVA members attending will have a ballot to fill in and submit that night. Those who cannot attend can do so via a proxy form with someone who is attending.

Until October 15th, 2015 nominations will be accepted via this anonymous google doc form http://goo.gl/forms/KfkuyDLAqF

After this date, all nominees will be contacted to confirm their wishes, and at that point an official ballot will be created. The MIVA board in 2016 will consist of 7 total: 1-President 1-Secretary 1-Treasurer 4-Directors

MIVA has come a long way and it is all due to our amazing membership who bring forth ideas, who attend and support our events, and who lend their time to spread our sport to the mid island region. Please don't hesitate to submit your nomination and be a part of a great group. Even if you can't commit full time to the board (yes, it is a lot of work I won't lie) there are many other ways you can contribute so let MIVA know if you're interested.

Thank you.

Online registration is open for the Tugboat Cross on September 27th in Ladysmith! https://www.raceonline.ca/events/details/?id=999
