Competition Planning Meeting - December 31st

The Competition Committee is meeting, at 12:30 in the Raven Lodge, to plan for the 2 competitions we have on schedule for this season. Our two competitions this year are Coast Cup 4/5 at Mt Washington on March 4th/5th and the Vancouver Island Loppet on April 1st.

The committee is looking for more people to join in this year as there are plans to expand the scope of the races! Anyone is able to join in on this meeting. There are a variety of fun positions for new and experienced people! Please consider joining!

First Toonie Event - December 31st

All Toonie Events start at 1:00 in front of the Raven Lodge. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Everyone is invited to participate. Emphasis will be on fun and participation – with a minor timing element for those who need to know how fast they went.

Registration will be in the Raven Lodge on event day and the cost for each person to register is you guessed it, a Toonie ($2).

Prizes will be Goodie Bags for every participant.

If you would like to help out with one or more of these Toonie Events, please contact John Andres
