Club paddle trip schedule:    Fall and Winter, 2004 -2005


Important note:

   Anyone who wants to participate in a scheduled outing is strongly encouraged to make that intention known at least two days in advance of the trip date. A scheduled outing may be canceled, moved to another location, or re-set for a different hour or day because of weather conditions or other reasons, at the discretion of the outing host. Showing up at the launch site will not work if an outing has been moved or re-scheduled.
   Those who frequently participate in Club events usually obtain contact information for others, and so can contact them directly. For newcomers or anyone who does not have contact information, use the E-mail link below, and your message will be forwarded to the appropriate outing host.
