Just a repeat to bring this info to the top. The notification made it to the weekend section of the Eagle, with the website as reference:


Pool sessions are the paddlers cure to the winter doldrums.
They are unstructured 2 hour time periods to paddle your boat around the pool. Several more experienced or instructor experienced members are available to assist with informal instruction. Many of us have learned to roll during these seesions.

As I recall from last year, the sessions are $10 each for members of the club. If not a member you can join there for $15 individual or family. Boats must be clean to enter the pool. All boats should be out of the pool by 8:45. PFD's should be worn. (No extra charge to warm up in the hot tub after the pool)

If you have a boat, paddle, PFD, skirt etc. bring them along. Swimwear or wetsuits are typically worn. If you need something post here. If you just want to see what goes on first, just come by to check one of the sessions to check it out (no charge unless you get in the pool and paddle I believe)

regarding the pool sessions for Sunday the 12th.
      are they on or canceled, due to the snow?

So Winter did slip in for a few days, I think that it will be outta here in only a few. As the Sport of Kayaking is a Sport of information I'm always throwing info out there. 200 new and used whitewater and touring boats, trade ins welcome.... located on the shuttle road for Muddy Creek 10 minutes from the Holtwood playspots on the Susquehanna River see www.chasingrain.com directions and additional info at http://baltimorecanoeclub.org/smf/index.php?board=8.0 Brad at Starrkmoon oops, also Muddy Creek shuttle phone 717 456 7720

The class focuses on preventing, recognizing, and treating common wilderness injuries and illnesses when activation or response of the local EMS system will be delayed beyond 30 minutes. The principles of the course are based upon several different disciplines in wilderness medicine. Among these are: Wilderness Medical Society Practice Guidelines, current American Red Cross guidelines, general protocols established by the Wilderness Emergency Medical Services Institute, current research and experience of the CDS Outdoor, Inc. staff, and the information contained in the course text by the National Safety Council.

Greg Wojcik, I am curious as to what the OC-1 looks like. I will be at the roll session this Sunday.(2/26) Are you going into business? I was also wondering if you still had the K-1 kevlar race boat.
I am looking for something different to add to the creek/playboats. I was up in the hills of Tioga County last weekend. North of Galeton, PA. It was a -10 degree camp/hill climb trip. Was fun though. Refreshing. Ha! See you, Sunday.

Eric, I'll bring the OC1 along tonight. Don't have any Kevlar K1. C1's yes. >

There will be a KCC meeting Tuesday night at 7:00pm. Presentation will be on the possibility of a whitewater park in Reading. Bring along your upcoming trips as well so that we can put them on the calendar.

If you leading a paddling trip, its a good idea to have CPR training.
