Now that we see the snow gone, it is time to remind everyone about the season which is coming.
Firstly, our annual general meeting will be April 24 at 7:00 in the Eastview Community Hall, 120 Ellenwood Drive. The agenda will include signing up for teams, president and treasurer’s reports, partial funding for national competition, cruise to Okanagan. If you have agenda items please send them to me. We need to have everyone in the club assisting with one of the teams, which are registration, timing, tech inspection, and course design/set up.
Our list of events for the year includes the school May 5, first open event May 6, May 19, 20, June 3,17, Summer Sostice Cruise June 21-24, July8,29, August 11, 25, Sept 8,22 and Oct 7. If you would like to help with the school, please let me know. We expect it to be formatted similar to last year’s with components in the morning, early afternoon, and a slalom for the rest of the day. Send your particulars to our treasurer Mark Ryan 77 Ainsworth Close T4R 3B1. You can reserve your spot with money.
Our dues will remain at last year’s rates of $70 for an individual, and $90 for a family.
The good news for the club is that we are now officially out of debt. We have paid for the trailer and its accessories, repaid the $300 club members, have paid our WCMA affiliation, our insurance, and have paid for the first event of the year at the Westerner, and still have a little in the bank before we start making some income through our slalom events. Those will continue to cost $30 per event, or $50 for a weekend, with non members an additional $10 per event. As we head into our fourth year of activity, I am sure we will have another great year. I look forward to taking the rubber from another set of tires, but more importantly to renewing friendships.
cheers
Fred Cardwell-President RDSCC
