Hi Everyone
Welcome to our first end of season newsletter!
Firstly, thank you all for making the 2013 season such a good one, it’s been fantastic to see so many of you continue to come along throughout the summer and not just when there’s been a course going on.
This year we have been very busy in the background getting grants and putting together deals for a whole range of new equipment, sadly this is only just becoming available before the end of the season, however at least we know we have all of this brand new kit to come back to in 2014.
By the end of the year, this will include; 12 new kayaks – 6 small and 6 standard size ‘Dagger GT’s’, 12 new kayak paddles – again 6 small and 6 standard sizes, over 40 new airbags to go into all of our boats – this will at least make it easier for the coaches to empty out! We are also working on getting some new Buoyancy aids and cags.
We will be working on getting some weekend activities organised so that we can all keep up our practice.
Please could you ensure that we have up to date email addresses and contact numbers for you so that we can get those details out to you.
The first ‘winter’ meeting we will have will be to re-schedule our photographer to take some promotional pictures of us and our new kayaks. This will be on Sunday 29th September from 10am to 12pm. Once again for the photos, please could you wear your group scarf as we have been asked to be wearing these for the photo.
We will be ordering some club t-shirts to be sold for club members over the winter, if you would like to pre-order one then please come to me to express your interest. Prices, sizes and colour are still to be finalised at the moment.
I hope that you all have a good ‘winter season’ and see you in 2014 for the club on Wednesday evenings, 1st date back will be 23rd April 2014!
Chris
