With 2006 wrapped up, all event, crew, hosting, bonus and referral points determined, the
second annual Club Fat Ass Point Series is now completed. The winners were announced at the post Event party of the Vancouver New Years Day Fat Ass 50.
Bill Dagg earned 32 points and made 5th place. He won a nice track jacket from New Balance thanks to North Shore Athletics. Fourth place went to the Chief Executive Fat Ass, Sibylle Tinsel, with 35 points. Third was Desmond Mott with 37 points. Des won a pair of high performance socks and a skookum handheld water bottle from North Shore Athletics. Second place went to Ean Jackson with 39 points. Baldwin Lee maintained his lead to the end and finished first with 44 points. He took home a coveted North Shore Athletics hoodie.
Honorable mentions go to Pete Stace-Smith, who over the course of the year referred 20 new members to Club Fat Ass. Gary Robbins also lured 7 new members to the Club. Maureen Wiens won 4 points for crewing a various events, closely followed by Ethelyn Davis, Berglind Haffsteindottir, Lucinda Barbeau, Cheryl Johnson, Daniel Probst's mum and Manon Pace. Most garbage was cleaned off the trail by Desmond Mott and that helped him get into the prizes as well as did a lot for the trails. You can find full results here.
Our fall membership survey and the straw polls at the last few Club events showed that the Club Fat Ass Point Series was very popular, so we'll do it again in 2007. You can collect Club points for participation (preregistration earns you 2 points), trail clean-up, member referrals, good sportsmanship, hosting an event and crewing. If you're going for hardware in '07, be sure to show up if you sign up!
