Hello all,
Spring is just around the corner and the Membership Drive is coming up fast! Be sure to mark your calendars. An agenda will be sent out closer to the date.
If you know of anyone who might want to join or rejoin the club, ask them to contact info@oldsaltsclub.com to get on our mailing list! Membership information will be sent to them!
Membership Registration forms
Although registration forms will be available at the drive, anyone who either can’t make it to the drive or wishes to fill out the forms ahead of time can find the membership renewal form here. (on the Blog under “Club Documents {Printable}) New members will be able to find the membership form here. (Web page).
-
-
- Please return forms & fees by April 1st if possible (April 15th at the latest) so that the membership list can be compiled as early as possible and blog access can be updated.
(Deadline for new members is April 1st as Dryland Training starts April 2nd)
- Complete the form in full. Please note that both page 1 (membership) and page 2 (club waiver) need to be signed to be complete! (Last year’s forms have been destroyed as per our Privacy Policy)
- Volunteer! All members are encouraged to volunteer for something to contribute to the club. (You will be called upon as needed) If you are already volunteering for something, please indicate so on the form as we do not assume that what you did last year is what you are doing this year. Volunteers are a valuable component of our club that keeps it running smoothly and contributes to our success. New faces are always welcomed, encouraged and appreciated.
handbook and rules
The final version of the club Handbook & Rules is complete and can be viewed here on the blog under “Club Documents {Printable}“. Printed copies will be available at the Membership Drive for $10 per copy. Proceeds from the sale of the club Handbook & Rules will go towards the “Shed Relocation Project”.
If you want, you can either print it yourself with your home printer, or purchase a collated hard copy at the drive. This book is a compilation of club rules, operating procedures, stroke and canoeing review, safety, By-laws & Constitution, previous unwritten rules, etc. that is referred to in the club waiver that you sign with the registration form. Take a look…it has lots of information that was previously undocumented!
training
Members will also be able to sign up for training at the drive. Anyone who hasn’t taken the required training in a while, particularly the intermediate or refresher courses, might want to sign up and brush up their skills. Our new trainer, Beth Jones, is very experienced and knowledgeable and has lots of new insights to offer. There is always something new to learn, particularly if you want to participate safely in some of our more challenging trips planned for this year where more advanced skills are required. You will find the costs on the membership form.

EMERGENCY CONTACT cARD
Just a reminder that everyone is required to have a completed “Emergency Contact Card” on them for club excursions. If you don’t have one or need a new one because your information has changed, you can pick one up at the Membership Drive or print one from here.
BOndi
Our annual Bondi Retreat has been a tradition with the club for a long time. Unfortunately, the last two retreats were cancelled due to lack of interest. If anyone is interested in resurrecting the Fall Retreat, please show your interest by coming forward and signing up at the Membership Drive.
Social Events
Although the purpose of our Membership Drive is to sign up new and returning members, we do have have a social component where members can come out of hibernation to meet and greet fellow members and welcome new members to the club. The social committee will be providing refreshments!
Let season 2020 begin!!
