Great weekend guys! Thanks to all that came out.

Larry I even got in a speech late at night this time  :D

Fantastic weekend! Thanks for organizing John!
Billy was great as usual. Give that guy a full time job as a Paddling Teacher! (Not instructor-TEACHER -he proves that those who can do AND teach)
Paddling the Main Channel for the first time in 4 years, apprehension but so awesome! I finally crossed one item from bucket list. Follow Larry into the eddy behind the first huge hole in Colosseum. Wow that is a DYNAMIC EDDY!! Sorry Larry for kinda making
You flip. But Larry was no slouch at rolling and finally got saved by who else "Larry"!
Great after paddling soirée with good friends and make
Note Here -Four BUNDLES OF WOOD!
Even got to paddle briefly with Don and Liz! Let's hope they join us again soon! Jim was awesome as usual!

And yes John got to say a welcome speech to a new member!
Awesome weekend!

Thanks John and everyone who participated!

Larry McNaughton and I are  going up for just for the day Saturday.   He's picking me up at 9:15 and then we're heading up.   He might have another space in his car.     Please give my landline a call at 613 759-8348 if there is need to contact us at the last minute.

I will be there Saturday morning and stay over Saturday night. For Sunday morning, I will probably just go for a short park&play session as I have to get back in the city early.

See you there!

there is no confusion  ... just lack of response

See you Saturday, 11 am in the RR campground
If Billy is still offering clinics, count me in as 1.

I am only good for one day in a row these days, plus another event was put on my calendar for Saturday evening back in Ottawa.

Ok, so I guess there was some confusion about replying to threads.

I am still figuring out how to actually use the forum to its full potential.

I have unlocked the thread so people can reply in it :)

CdB's Ottawa river Weekend
« Reply #1 on: June 18, 2015, 07:47:34 AM »
Our club's Ottawa River Weekend is happening on Friday July 10 to Sunday the 12!

This is a camping/paddling weekend on the Ottawa river. Some people arrive Friday evening and make it a three-day event. Camping is at 'Paddler's Meadow' at River Run Rafting. This club camping weekend does not involve a 'Feast' (that one takes place in August), so bring your own food to cook at your camp site, or eat at River Run's outdoor restaurant--you can get a weekend meal plan or go a la carte. Saturday evening is when we have our bbq/cookout/bonfire (if permitted).

Groups can go down the Middle Channel, the Main Channel, park and play, level dependent of course, or spend the weekend practicing rolling and other techniques. Rinse and repeat the next day!

We camp at the Paddlers's Meadow at River Run, a quiet group camping section and dog friendly. At the main camp there are also change rooms, hot showers, an outdoor covered restaurant great for breakfast, lunch or dinner, a small store, a bar with a pool table, entertainment at night with big group bonfire going on (or make a fire at your camp site)... RSVP so that we can reserve a Coureurs de Bois Only Camp Site.

Here is a link for directions to River Run: http://www.riverrunrafting.com/resources/directions/  and the link to the RR's Homepage with a description of amenities and prices: http://www.riverrunrafting.com/

When you arrive at River Run, just say that you are with the CdB. We will be calling them to let them know approximately how many members will attend.

This is a relaxed, come and go as you like, event. Come and stay for as much of the weekend as you want. You can fit it in your plans any way you like, knowing that you have a camp de base at River Run with familiar and welcoming CdB faces to greet you, paddle the river with you and share stories with you around the camp fire in the evening. All weekend!

The plan is to meet at the campsite at River run at 11:00 on Saturday to arrange shuttle.  For carpooling, meet at the Eagleson Park'n'Ride at 9:30.

We hope you can all attend. Cheers!

--CdB Executive.
