Performance Catalogue / Discount
In a previous thread an individual who is not in any position of authority / decision making for the club, posted a copy of an email from Performance Catalogue describing a discount program for club members. This was not appropriate and I have asked our webmasters to remove the thread. I would ask all members that in the future, if they receive any solicitous information that they believe would be of any interest to the club, that they pass it on to one of the board members so that we may consider whether it is in the interest of our club to take part.
With particular consideration of the Performance offer, we had already received the correspondence from Performance and the board is currently considering it. If we decide that the club will participate, it will be listed in this coming week's club email. The eweekly will contain specific information along with a password in order to take part in this discount.

Important. Performance Catalogue / Discount
"I fail to see the great ethical or moral victory claimed by policing an offer to save 20% on bicycle related goods. Who cares whether or not the club is getting a few dollars as well. Last I heard the club was not short of funds. The savings to consumers is clear and no one is forcing you to participate.
As for the risk of promoting more such postings, I say ""Bring them on!"""
Since Performance's email to me with the discount number said to pass it along, the company's full email to me, with said number, is below.
The shorthand version says the discount number (aka, coupon code) for NYCC is 6001008.

Just a voice from the peanut gallery: not to be contentious, but as a member, I was happy to learn of the sale on the message board. I often don't have time to fully read the weekly e-mail message but do try to catch some of the message board threads.
I ordered a bunch of stuff from Performance (via Web) on Sat nite. As of this afternoon, order has not shipped. Is this the case for the rest of you?
If you're checking via the Order Status button on the site, don't bother. Send an e-mail to customer service instead.
Mine shipped yesterday (Mon), due tomorrow (Wed). 20% discount, even on sale items. Plus my 10% rebate, ... and $2.50 to NYCC???
