Get Involved, Have Some Fun in the Kootenays
Our famous/infamous Wednesday night BBQs and Slocan River Run are starting up 02 May 2007.
Meet at Endless Adventures early (5:00ish) and buy your club membership because these runs are club sponsored and all participants must be club members is our insurance is to be valid.
And remember that we are looking for trip leaders...........and that trip leaders are eligible for honour, glory and the end of season lottery/prizes.
So how does it Work. Show up between 5:00 and 5:30 and enjoy a little camaraderie, check out what's new in the shop and, of course, get your gear ready. Volunteer your car/truck for the car drop. Warm up in the eddy, and depart at 6:00ish after the Trip Leader's briefing. You can refresh yourself with some safety stuff .............at our Safety First page.
Have some fun on the river, help out the newer kayakers, perhaps refresh yourself on river rescue techniques or go for a swim.........jim, stay out of the water..........Try your Roll First, then practice wet exits........Andrea may not always be around with the Ducky.
Remember, this is a great Class II/III learning river, so go for the gusto and practice your roll in wave trains and more gnarly situations, just like what you will encounter on more adventureous club trips.
While some are paddling, others - that's you - are taking their turn at preparing the hamburgers and beer, in preparation for our return and the requisite telling of lies and other great adventures/fiction.
See you There.
