Yes! Welcome to the club Meiko.
Mudman, somehow, I didn't get the impression you were shy...maybe when it came to French...
The club Exec set the New Comers day to June 13th for this year, earlier in the winter.
In the (recent) past, we have been going "en masse", on the Ottawa river up near Beachburg.
With groups over 30 of varying caliber, with the most experienced paddlers taking the lead and fishing out guys like me, back then.
Some of our members have been paddling for decades, others have started only a year or two ago.
Some learn very fast, like Adam aka "The Backyard Swimming Pool Terror of Stittsville", who started about 2 years ago, is 16 or 17yr old and already doing Donkey Flips and Loops (Darn!!! 8-)
In the same fashion, newcomers have varying level of skills and although this is not an instructing club, we watch over each other and all are there for the paddling pleasure - or the excitement.
I'll open up a thread on the topic as a sticky.
