Topic: King of clubs - Labour day weekend

[windowshade]

I may or not just go up to River Run Saturday evening. Depending on animal babysitting services I am providing right now. May not be able to do the Rouge Saturday... (might do the main with Tibor and Tomas..) and go back to Ottawa afterwards... But I will be one of the 5 Sunday at KOC!

As for Monday, anyone wants to go do the Beaver, Taylorville section? It's a beginner's run, class III at most but very fun. And short, 1.2 km only, so you can do it more than once. Any takers? We can discuss all that Thursday too.

Taylorville on Monday sounds good.
It's a little bit tougher than a beginner run, just ask anyone who's spent time in the Beaverator...

Oh but the Beaverator is easy to avoid... Beaver Monday and Rouge Saturday, with KotC in between? Or Beaver Saturday and Rouge Monday? I know someone (not me) who would prefer the latter, if any refreshments are consumed on Sunday...

[ChristianG]

I just asked WhiteWaterOntario to register our club with their organisation for the weekend. I also told the KotC organisers that at least 5 of us will be there Sunday... I should be there, so we need at least 4 more...

Nice level for the weekend, this quote is from OKS website:
 "...Ontario Power Generation is releasing water from storage beginning on Wednesday from 100 km north of the Rocher Fendu Section. The release will reach the Lorne on Friday and Continue till Sunday morning.
The augmented flow will bring the level close to -2... "

But all clubs need to be members of WW Ontario (for insurance reasons I suppose), independently of participants. So I will look into this tomorrow, as our club is not part of WW Ontario. Hopefully it's not too expensive. Depending on fee for the club however, the club executive might need to pronounce itself on the topic.

If it's approved, I'll register us for the event!

Cost:
The cost of this event is $5 for WO members and $10 for non-WO members. This entry fee covers the cost of the food at the BBQ and WO insurance for the day for all on-water events for non-members. Non WO member clubs will need to pay the $25 annual fee to register as a WO club. Camping and Take Out is not supplied, payment to River Run for these services.

That $25 dollar club might be already paid up if WO was on the ball at HOHW in the Spring ... if not then go the club has enough funds to do so. Some members are already WO members being having dual memberships with ORR. If there are not enough CdBers to make a team of 5 ... Carleton KC is looking to join forces.

Maybe next year the club can send in the $25 annual fee at the beginning of the year, to cover off all WO club events for the year.

Ok...

I asked Wayne to register our club, with at least 5 members showing up.

I would like to do the Rouge Saturday, with playboat or even creekboat if others are interested in running a couple falls.

Then camp at River Run Saturday night. That way we can be at the put in on time.

BTW, Doing the Rouge on Saturday, driving up to River Run that same night and camp (and 'socialise' around the bonfire), and being in good enough shape (...) for the Sunday run has been done already this summer... --C.

...They give us the cardboard Saturday, we make the craft.

Hi Christian,

Could you enter us officially? The link is on boatwerks...  http://www.boatwerks.net/boater-board/1/10477

I think it's like $25... I'm sure that enough paddlers will take part to make it interesting!
I could be there Sunday Morn for the meeting... (give you a ride too...!) Should be fun!

Now, we just need someone to make a paddling cardboard craft to go down the Lorne...

King of the Clubs happens pretty much on Sunday, but registration etc. is Saturday so at least one member of the club should be on the Ottawa that day. That said, it doesn't have to be me, so I could do the Rouge Saturday, KotC Sunday, and Beaver (Taylorville at least) Monday! How's that?

And... I think we should make an effort to participate in the KotC events. I volunteer myself for Sunday for sure! Who else?

[windowshade]

I'm up for King ofthe Clubs too. The day before.. The Rouge maybe?
