Hope this posting find everyone well and ready to move into the second half of the season. The Bromley crew has continued to do a great job of providing us a terrific playground, despite mother nature’s evil efforts. Most of our athletes will be around this weekend(due to postponed events) to enjoy some training before the crazy schedule’s of February and March kick in. Also, we are planning a BBQ for Saturday(28th) and would welcome any assistance and/or donations to help offset the cost/efforts of providing this wonderful fare for our members and staff. This weekend’s events include an exciting boarder/skier cross competition on the Plaza hill for Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday afternoon we will be hosting the second Pabst race of the year on the East Meadow. These events are always fun and are great opportunity to work off your volunteer commitments. We would like to remind everyone that our biggest fundraiser of the year is also approaching, Febfest. We are always looking for help in gathering outstanding auction items, please help our club by seeking out items from your business and personnel contacts. Let’s us know what you come up with. We are having another one of our world class BBQ’s this weekend. Keep in mind there are no “free lunches”, please contribute to the jar so we can continue to do it! Thank you….Stephan We have a master race tomorrow, which should go pretty quick and snowboard race next weekend. And we are looking for help with our biggest fundraising event of the year…FEBFEST! More details to follow.

Richard Mourey Secratary, Board of Directors Bromley Outing Club Thanks for all the great efforts on the hill this last holiday break, We do understand it was not the best of hill conditions, but we used the limited conditions to our benefit. The coming weekend should offer a wider terrain selection. We will be host a number of events this weekend, so please if you can lend a hand do so. At this time, I would also like to mention a growing concern we have with the our clubhouse. During the holiday week our clubhouse was way too messy. Plastic bags, half eaten nachos, french fries and a lot of other garbage all over the place. In plain it, was treated without any respect. I was also made aware of some of athletes not treating each other with mutual respect. Both of these situations are entirely unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Please talk with your athlete/child about this situation, we(coaches/staff) can not be downstairs at all times to monitor the athletes behavior and cleanliness. The only alternative would be to close the clubhouse to all but ski storage, something none of us want to do. Thanks for your help in straightening out our situations. Saturday 1/21/12 7-10pm…Celebrate with the Swingin in Vermont Band. Go to https://store.bromley.com/e-commerce/itemList.aspx?node_id=70376 and purchase your tickets today, as of this posting less than 50 tics left. Season Greetings from the BOC.

Happy Holidays Dave Age Class Team Parents and Volunteering For the 2011-2012 season we are looking to increase the level of participation by our members in managing our events on the mountain. In particular, we are going to have the parents of each age group support the race day events for their respective races. It is important that we have our parents on the hill in volunteer positions so that we can run the events efficiently and effectively. Each age group needs to have two lead parents who can assist Tom Ziegler and Toni Harkins in organizing the race day volunteers. This will entail making phone calls to parents in the age group and organizing the volunteers in coordination with Tom and Toni. We will be using a web based volunteer management program to assist in securing and organizing our volunteers.
All members of the BOC should log into http://bocracecrew.volunteerhub.com , provide your contact info and sign up for a minimum of two volunteer commitments. Keep in mind that with over 350 volunteer spaces that need to be filled we really need our members to commit to more than two volunteer commitments.
If you would like to volunteer for your age group or have any questions about volunteering on the mountain please contact Tom Ziegler by email at wtzieglervt@gmail.com or by phone at 203 856 6956. As you may know our 60th birthday party(12/10/11) is kicking off our first weekend here at Bromley. Please be sure to reserve your ticket ASAP, they are going fast. We would love to see folks from all the 6 decades join us at the Southern Vermont Arts Center to enjoy fine food, friendship and frolicking. We are all truly lucky to be part of an organization so steeped in history and community service as the BOC. Call us at the club for your ticket today. Last night we received a couple of inches of snow and the snow guns are working overtime to provide us with skiing for SUNDAY morning. The lifts are scheduled to start at 9, we would like to see everyone at the club to help us start the new season. Groups will be meeting at 8.30 in front of the club. Please keep in mind that terrain will be limited and many other groups will be sharing the limited trails. We would suggest that you leave those new skis at home for this first weekend. As the Bromley website has posted, fast skiing(GS turns) will not be tolerated. At 11 we will have our parent informational meeting in the Boar’s Head. This is your chance to ask those questions you always wanted to, we will also have Dr. Matt Gammons talk with us about concussions and how they effect your athlete. Lead coaches will break out in to smaller groups for your questions and information about their programs. As always please feel free to contact us here at the club with any questions or concerns.
