Starting a thread for the skills clinic…
From the event page: Annual skills clinic for paddlers of all abilities and skill levels. This is the most fun! Strokes, techniques for speed or endurance, rescues, and a host of other interesting stuff. You may be able to try out different boats, paddles, and equipment. We will meet at the pavilion by the lake. There is a $5 per vehicle day use fee.
Bring the boat you use. Bring the safety equipment you have. Non-cotton clothes, sunglasses with a strap, hat, paddle, life jacket, water, a chair, sunscreen, shoes, and a spray skirt if you have one, food and beverages for lunch OR approx. $10 for purchasing a lunch at the concession stand. If you plan of joining in on the optional potluck dinner at the end of the event, please bring a dish to share at supper. Club will provide hot dogs, brats, hamburgers and vegie burgers. Non-Alcoholic Beverages Only while on the water!
Students will be grouped by skill level. Camping is available in the recreation area for those wishing to make a weekend of it.

Thanks to everyone who made this year’s clinic a success and a big shout out to a grill masters Bryan and Dave. We couldn’t have had better temperatures and the rain held off until the nd.
Mark your calendars, I have already reserved the deck for next year on June 15,2024. That means we’ll have the whole right hand section.
When I was talking to the concessionaire she said she was planning on having a whole meal for us this year and but it didn’t work out. I was really surprised and kinda glad because, after all, we had our potluck. Then she said she’d have a big dinner all planned out for next year. I didn’t quite know what to say at that point and figured I’d talk to her about it later, but I got to thinking. It would be A LOT less work to have the Skills Clinic without the potluck — and we did do that several years ago.
So please give me your thoughts about not having a potluck next year and getting our dinner from the Concession stand. I can tone down the expectations, telling her something like expect 20 people to buy “dinner” or I just tell her, no, please don’t do anything special for us.
Obviously we’ll talk about this next year but while everything is fresh in your mind, please let me know what you think. Thank you! (Those of you who did not attend this year but have in the past and possibly the future, interested in hearing from you too.)
Thanks! Eileen

I’m ok with no pot luck. That concession and park has been good to our club for years. It’s an opportunity for them to make a few bucks and keep them happy. I bought lunch just for that purpose. Maybe the club could help pitch in part of the costs that would usually spend on meat, condiments, plates, table ware, charcoal. It would be a win /win kathy
