Past Supporters and Sponsors
The success of Club Fat Ass is due to the efforts of many, many people over a long period of time. We have very long memories. While not actively involved, the following people and businesses have helped Club Fat Ass over the years. A heartfelt "Thank you!" for your contribution to our success!
Designr
Richard Rawling, President
- it was 2000 (2 years before the birth of Club Fat Ass.) We thought we'd do something special for the 10th anniversary of the Vancouver Fat Ass 50. Rich graciously redesigned our very utilitarian website and provided a platform that served the Club during its first few years
Rackets and Runners
Kevin Thomson
- Kevin provided 100 cotton t-shirts for the 10th anniversary of the Vancouver Fat
Ass 50. If you come across one of these historical t-shirts, hang onto it as it's a true collector's item!
Mountain Equipment Co-Op
Laurie Edward, SER
-
Laurie helped the Club obtain a sustainability grant from MEC in 2004. The MEC helped get the club off the ground by supporting our social and environmental efforts
- we would also like to recognize the contributions of the following MEC employees: Keith Nichol, Kate Scholz, Denise Taschereau, Gord Betenia and the many MEC employees who are also Club members!
Bryght
Boris Mann, Kris Krug, Roland Tanglao, Richard Eriksson
- back in 2004, Boris said it would take an hour to move our website to a new, community blogging platform called Drupal. It ended up taking Boris many times that coaching us on how to set it up and maybe another 1000 hours for us to do the work. Looking back, it was worth the pain as now the Club Fat Ass "online clubhouse" is a poster child for Drupal online communities everywhere
- Boris, Roland and Kris offered a vision. Richard delivered on the promise. He has probably spent 50 hours helping and coaching us on how to make it work... and we're still learning!
NextPhase Strategy Inc.
Ullrich Schade, President
- Ullrich and his team helped us to design the "porker" logo that you can see in the upper left corner of this website and on your Club t-shirts

Mark Yuasa and Robert Scales
- Mark coached us on color selection and general layout of the current Drupal "online clubhouse"
