Dear friends and members of Club Fat Ass,Club registration and membership renewal is now open for 2006! Please click here to renew or register for the first time.
I aim to have the first batch of our new 2006 Club t-shirts by late January. Please make sure you get your Club colors in this order by signing-up before 15 November. Thanks to all of you who already renewed your membership for 2006.
Another word about shirts: Last year's blue MEC shirts were very popular. Mine survived countless washings and still looks like new. We still have a few left, so if you would like to purchase one for yourself or a friend (only $15 for current members and $20 for non-members), please contact me. They make awesome Christmas presents!
Have fun reading the November 2005 Newsletter below
Happy Trails,

PAST EVENT RESULTS AND REPORTS
Wendy's Get Your Fat Ass Off The Couch
I am sure that a few people were having second thoughts about running the event as they listened to the downpour throughout the night. Luckily, we were rewarded with a great day that was warm and got progressively sunnier as time passed.
Thank you to the group that waited for me as I lifted myself out of the mud. We may have broken the course record if we had not had to stop. We missed it by one minute. See Wendy's full report and results here.
