PLEASE READ-What’s Happening This Week!

 

Tuesday, August 20th – Grand River {Glen Morris to Birley Gates}

Tomorrow’s trip should be another good one. The flow is around 37 and may change a bit by morning, but is nowhere near the summer low. We should have a great paddle as this part of the river provides lots of opportunity for us to brush up on reading the river and practice skills learned during our lessons. Since most of us have done this section of the Grand River during training, we know what to expect, but realize it can change.

The weather forecast: Sunny in the morning and early in the afternoon then a mix of sun and cloud with 30 percent chance of showers late in the afternoon. High 28.  Bring sunscreen and lots of water!
See “What to Bring on a Canoe Excursion”

The cost of this trip is $6. Meet at the shed by 8:30 am for a 8:45 am departure.

Trip Organizers: Eugene & Carol Marion 519-501-2078 or 519-570-6250

Bondi News! Come and Join Us!

Hello Fellow Members of the Old Salts,

Every  September, a trip is planned to the Algonquin Park area. Those joining the group stay at the Bondi Village Resort, just east of Huntsville { www.bondi-cottage-resort.com } . Our trip this year runs from Sept 17th to the 21st, at an individual cost of $269.00 per person, {you make a non refundable deposit to the club of $100.00 in late spring, with the balance due in mid August } plus your share of the food costs. { We make our own meals }.

We car pool up and back and members of the group stay in shared accommodation either in the main Lodge or an adjacent cottage.  We have an organizational meeting at the end of August for those signed on for the trip, where we have general discussions,make our plans on assorted topics and decide on transport up and back. We are responsible, in designated groups, for the purchase of our food and each group has a turn preparing Breakfast and Supper on a specified day. The Lunch group provides an assortment of sandwich items that we put together and carry with us on our daily outings away from the Lodge.
