Penticton Delegates to Germany

[livewire]

Just heard a story that 12 people were sent to Germany to watch a challenge race. Not sure who they are but believe Jessie Campbell is one of them.

Wondering who's footing that bill? Anyone know?

Old news livewire. Believe there were a couple stories in the Herald and the Western. Not sure if Castanet carried a story or not. No Jessie Campbell did not go. Not sure who paid for this but would suspect Challenge. I personally believe this was good for both Challenge Penticton and the City of Penticton.

I believe the membership girl from the chamber went, a couple of other people from the chamber....

Yes it is good to send people to see how these events go down when you are a community new to this type of event. We have been doing a substantially larger event, with great success for many years. The people and volunteers of penticton know what's involved to host this type event. My question is who paid the bill to send 12 people to Germany to watch it.....to see what's involved... when we already know what's involved.

I thought I read alot about this delegation, but when I start searching I can't find anything local???? I did come across the following from Germany http://www.challenge-roth.com/en/news/n ... _13-6.html

Livewire .. I hear your concern as to who paid for this delegation to travel to Germany. I suspect Challenge did. If you really want to know call James Miller at the Penticton Herald or Barb Haynes at Challenge Penticton, either one could and I'm sure would tell you.

It is on The Herald site under local sports and about half way down the second page of headlines. I read it when it was on the main page. It is now only viewable if you have a Herald online subscription, which I don't, so I can't post a link.

This is all I could copy and paste.
