Commodore’s Report

As the incoming Commodore, I would like to talk about what the new season will look like.  We have reorganized the executive and assembled committees to ensure that Beach has another successful year. The committees and their members are dedicated and looking forward to the challenges ahead.  We have the results of the surveys back and will use your input to assist the executive in managing the Club this new season.

The website (www.balmybeachcanoe.com) is up and running, please check the website for any information updates you may need.  Gaynor will be emailing website update bulletins when changes are made.

We will be traveling to Regina for C.K.C Championships (C.C.A.) August 23-26, 2006 and Canmas August 27, 2006.  We are exploring chartering a jet to get everyone there.  We are trying to stay away from taking a bus, but that does remain an option.

Fundraising

This coming season will be a huge challenge to replace the $52,000.00 we will not receive from the charity bingos that we have participated in over the past years.  With everyone participating in fundraising events, the executive feel confident that these funds can be replaced.  We will be asking for a $100.00 cheque to be submitted with registration fees from each family or Paddler.  At the end of the season, the cheque will be cashed.  In lieu of this, each family or Paddler must participate in at least one volunteer/fundraising event during the year.

We are adding a Spring and Fall Rock and Roll Car Wash and Garage Sale, tentatively set for May 6 and September 16/06, so please, don’t throw any or your junk out. 

 

Summer Sports Camp

Our camp director, Lynn Roworth, did an outstanding job and was able to fill the camp beyond capacity for most of the summer.  The camp not only provides regular sports such as baseball and soccer, but also introduces youngsters to paddling.

The Balmy Beach Canoe Club Annual General Meeting was held on Saturday October 22 in conjunction with the Awards Night that followed.

Fund Raising

Our next big fundraisers are “The Mish Mash Sale” December 17, and “The Hair of the Dog” Fun Run on New Years Day.  Volunteers are needed

Please volunteer your help and e-mail Gaynor Reader at greader@rogers.com

Hair of the Dog Fun Run

Fundraising is more important than ever this coming year.  A Bingo that has been operating on behalf of the Canoe Club for the last 10 years has been shut down.  This means that   somehow we have to make up approximately $52K in order to provide the same type of program that we have enjoyed in the past.  The Hair of the Dog Fun Run/Walk is a lot of fun.  It sure would be nice if our paddlers, both sprint and dragon boat, along with their parents, would take part.  In the past we were lucky if we had 10 paddlers signing up and most of these were the Bain family.

 

 

Mish Mash Sale

Saturday, December 17, 1 – 5pm

Balmy Beach Club

The Canoe Club will have a good stock of clothing  from our camp and paddling programs on sale. This is a great opportunity for us to raise some funds and at the same time provide you with some excellent Christmas items.  Most of the clothing is in youth sizes.  We will also have for sale, Pewter replicas of the 1^st Balmy Beach Club in celebration of 100 years of paddling.  The Club, and other Sections of the Club, will also have items for sale.

Don’t miss out

Canmas Montreal

The Canadian Master Championships, held on the Sunday following the CCA Championships attracted a record number of participants to the event. (576 men and women).  A second record was established with the running of 165 races beginning at 8 am and ending at 6:30 pm that soon appealed to the paddlers and the spectators.

On the Saturday, the talk was :”impossible, be here till midnight, have to light the course etc”

Needless to say something had to be done.  The races were changed from 500m to 200m.  At first there was some dissatisfaction.  2 –3 races would line up behind the starting line with the next event starting in minutes..  There were numerous events with 2 & 3  and even 4 heats being run  ie:

Novice Women’s K-1 (35-44) 4 heats – 28 competitors

Men’s K-1 (40-44) 3 heats – 26 competitors

It was continuous action at the Finish Line

CCA 2006 - Regina, Saskatchewan First Alert!!

 

For the first time in CCA’s history the CCA Championships will be held in Regina August 23 to 26 with Canmas on August 27.

The Wascana Racing Canoe Club will be our hosts.

In 2005 the Canoe/Kayak events at the Canada Games were held on Wascana Lake and  $20M was spent dredging and making other improvements and the site is excellent.

A great spot for families to consider for next year’s vacation!  The Club is looking forward to this opportunity and working hard to organize this event for paddlers and their families.

Travel arrangements are currently under investigation.    (Note: Families may choose to make their own travel arrangements taking personal vacation plans into consideration.)
