gyork Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Thanks for organizing this Bob. In the past, there have been printable PDF announcements that I have distributed to local outlets (EMS and BBLeans). Do you want/need additional publicity?

lhunt Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 As in previous years there will be a collection of different types of boats for participants to try on for size (inside the pool or out). This is a great opportunity to get a quick introduction to the various sizes and styles available if you are new to the sport and planning to buy.

rylevine Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 Last year we had to limit the numbers in the pool session to about 30. There is a maximum of 10 boats allowed in the pool, and we want everyone to get sufficient training and boat-time. If you are interested in the pool session it is necessary to reserve the spot.Please send the $15 payment toDoug Mogill c/o NSPNP.O. Box 341Derry, NH 03038Checks should be made out to NSPN and NTKW should go in the memo section and a phone number provided. Also, please register for the workshop at the email address ntskw@nspn.org. I'll be sending more information to both workshop and pool participants. Looking forward to the session!Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
