rfolster Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Back by popular demand is NSPN's annual (kind of) New To Sea Kayak Workshop to be held at the Gould Barn in Topsfield. This event is designed to be beneficial to a wide audience, from those who have never paddled any kind of boat, to others who maybe paddle calm locations to white water. Regardless of your experience, if you are interested in knowing more about sea kayaking, this is a great opportunity. At the workshop, we will discuss what sea kayaking is about, look at various boats, paddles, other gear, clothing, safety equipment, and more. It is free and open to the general public - membership is not required, but for those who want to join the club, cost is $15 for 12 months. Workshop details: Date = June 26th, 2021 Start Time = 10:00am promptly and will go for about 4-5 hours (lunch will be available) Location = Gould Barn - 1 Howlett St, Topsfield, MA Parking = Please observe designated parking spaces in parking lot or park on nearby streets Registration or Questions = Email NTSKW@NSPN.ORG with your name, and up to three questions you would like answered or topics you would like discussed 2021 NTSKW Flyer.pdf 296.33 kB · 0 downloads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Snyder Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I checked in with my daughter, who does social media as part of her business. She said that getting into facebook advertising for this probably isn't worth it but if any of us on facebook comment and/or share it that really broadens exposure.
