Hi

Yes ... at least for the majority of the paddlers in the club the Main Channel is OK. But Newcomers Day is really meant the welcome new members to the club and not to have lots of carnage on the Main channel especially for the beginners.

Therefore there is a poll lower down in the forum, just to get an indication of how many folks are more suited for the Middle Channel so those people will have enough support down the river.

Looks like we'll be doing the main channel for newcomers' day. We'll check it out this Saturday again anyway, but the low level (-1/-2) should make it quite friendly. Plus the water is already very warm.

Hi All CDBers new and old,

Newcomer's Day is our annual welcome to new paddlers in the club paddle down the Ottawa River, usually the Middle Channel (or the Main, depending on the river level and what the groups feels like running). It's the chance to welcome new members and past members returning to the fold. The more experienced paddlers will be there to suggest the best and safest lines and watch your back should you go for an unexpected swim.
 
We meet at the Eagleston Bus Park and Ride off HWY 417 at 8am to carpool and save the environment. Please bring along some cash to offset the cost of gasoline for your designated driver. Usually the more people we get in a vehicle the less the ride will cost.
You may also want to bring a light lunch or energy snacks when we stop and eat on the river shore.
 
Those of you who want to meet us directly at River Run should be there by 10AM.
Here are the directions to River Run:
