2. Conewago Canoe Club - Red Lion Pool Session Information

Schedule for the 2010 Pool sessions.......as last year, if it floats, bring it. As always the rules are simple.

If you are bringing your own boat, please bring a clean boat. NO LEAVES OR DEBRIS. THIS MEANS REMOVING AIR BAGS AND HOSING THEM DOWN!

ALL paddlers are encouraged to take advantage of the very affordable pool time we are lucky enough to have again this year. If you paddle a playboat, creeker, sea kayak, canoe, or hemorrhoid cushion; whatever you have...these sessions are for ALL CCC MEMBERS. Instruction is informal, but there are always plenty of experienced folks both male and female available to help you learn, refine, work on your ROLL! It's also a great opportunity to see and demo other's boats if you're not sure what to buy. Local outfitters who are also club members often bring demo fleets to these sessions.

Session price is $5.00 per valid and current membership. You MUST repeat MUST be a member to enter the pool. This is limited to IMMEDIATE family and means a family of 4 gets in for $5.00! Sorry, no cousins, no aunts, no uncles, etc. they gotta pay their own way too. You can also join or renew your CCC membership at your first session.

Snow policy is as follows: If the school is open that day, session is ON...if questionable I\we\anyone can call the school 717-246-1611 for that day's info.

Be aware that Fridays up to the start of February are high school basketball nights. Someone will always be playing in the gym. If the boys are away the girls are home etc. This affects the parking. Games start at 6:00

Cost per session is $5 for GBCC members who have joined/renewed for 2010. (Annual Club dues are $20 per family/household. You can join/renew either at the roll sessions or online or by mail.)

In addition, if you are not a Club member, then - unless you are a member in good standing of the American Canoe Association (ACA) - you must pay a one-time fee of $10, which will buy you a six-month introductory membership to the ACA (including all ACA member benefits, including ACA's Paddler magazine). Note that this is how we get insurance for the roll sessions. Without the ACA we wouldn't be able to do this. (If you are a Club member, the Club will cover the cost of your ACA introductory membership, unless of course you're already an ACA member, in which case you don't need it.)

Please remember, your boat must be clean, inside and outside, when attending these sessions.

This problem has caused us to lose the use of pools in the past.
