Mark French - 2002 Victorian Cyclist of the Year 2002 – 2003 Annual Report Cyclesport Victoria President’S Report Finance
Mark French - 2002 Victorian Cyclist of the Year 2002 – 2003 Annual Report CycleSport Victoria President’s Report Finance I am delighted to announce that for the fifth year running, CycleSport Victoria has returned a trading surplus and we have achieved what I believe is a better than satisfactory result. A lot of hard work has been invested in returning this result and I commend the Board and staff for their constant cost monitoring, with a special mention going to our finance director, Trevor Wilkie. With our new home within reach, this surplus will be essential in providing the best possible membership benefits from the new facility. As a result of the Junior Worlds being conducted, the surplus funds here have now been transacted to CSV under the agreement that the money is spent on a major project. In this case, the money will be allocated directly to the timing equipment required at the No 2 training velodrome. CSV has also now had the trust money passed across from the trustees, holding the money on our behalf. This money will be allocated directly to the seating provision in the back straight of the training velodrome. In terms of significant purchases made this financial year, a new photocopier was purchased for the office at a cost of $13,000. Membership CSV have continued to work tirelessly on offering and providing a greater level and range of servicing to our members. The website for one continues to provide excellent service. With race entries, results, club contacts, handicaps, velodrome details and latest information amongst many more sections, it is an excellent resource to any member and the general public.

Le Mot De Caroline
N°10 – Décembre 2004 Le Mot de Caroline Chères supportrices, chers supporters ! Et oui, c'est décidé, j'arrête la compétition. J'aurais bien évidemment souhaité terminer différemment, mais c'est comme ça, et je pense que cette chute début septembre à Rotterdam, a renforcé encore plus ma décision. Et puis, finir sur une sélection en équipe de France, c'est déjà pas si mal. Chers lecteurs, Les raisons de mon arrêt ? Il y en a beaucoup. Je souhaite désormais profiter différemment de la vie, de mes week-ends, me rapprocher de 2004 aura été une saison riche en émotions pour Caroline, une année assez mes amis, de ma famille.

D'un coté, j'étais très numéro, que nous avons voulu aussi bien physiquement, et je sentais que ma progression pouvait encore complet que possible pour vous faire s'étendre sur des années ; mais d'un autre, je manquais un peu de revivre, à travers les compte-rendus de motivation. Difficile de se frotter aux meilleures mondiales sans penser au courses de Caroline, sa saison. fossé qu'il existe entre nous, tant au niveau des infrastructures, qu'au niveau biologique...
