TMBC would like to welcome our newest executive on the committee. Last month Gillian Chesterfield was voted in for the Womens Co-Ordinator role. The entire committee is excited to have her on board, Gillian is an extremely passionate lady and is already firmly embedded in our MTB community and we look forward to her input, ideas and positive attitude to help progress our club and the longevity of Jubilee Park. Here is a little bit of a whos who from Gillian herself.
Hi there,
I thought that I should be proactive and introduce myself as having been firstly nominated and then voted on to the Toowoomba Mountain Bike Club Board of Executives as the Women’s Coordinator.
If you haven’t heard, this is a role that has been created by TMBC to ensure we have an active female voice alongside men in our fast-growing sport. I hope to be able to build a sense of community and connection between the members of TMBC and its wider community and ensure that our trails continue to grow physically and form a foundation for mountain bike recreational activities, social connection and community spirit.
A little about me, I’ve been riding since 2017, not as long as some but longer than lots of others. I don’t like falling off but do fairly regularly. My husband and daughter ride, they’re not experts but definitely have “the riding bug”. My favourite trail in Jubilee is Defib, its quick and can be done more than once if time allows. I am the race director for Fox on Rocks – Covid 19 edition and I’m looking forward to bringing that event together in 2021.
