I thought we might be getting into an old comedy routine based on person 1 going into a restaurant  and ordering breakfast from restauranteur 2:

1: L  O!

2: L  O!

1: F  U  N  E  M?

2: S,  I  F  M.

1: F  U N  E  X?

2: S, I  F  X.

1: OK, M  N  2 X!

**

So  if you were really worried, you should have asked:

R U OK?

and I would have responded:

S, I M OK? U?

Hi Mick,

Just sending a request now. This got away from me with all the holidays and travel. I will report back.

Did the suggested westcoastpaddler@gmail.com

work for you?

Hello Everyone,

I received a few email wondering if Bob has heard from anyone on the Exec/Directorship. I replied to Bob via personal email last night. I understand others did the same.  I am pleased to say that as expected members of the club are happy to assist Bob in trying to arrange some special moments for his friend’s children.

As I mentioned to Bob, I am sure many more members will be supportive of his effort, whether they are in touch with him directly or simply in their thoughts.  We will go about this the right away to avoid liability issues, while rallying around as the wonderful community that is SKABC.

Bob,

Thank you for reaching out and allowing us to do our part to brighten these young men’s days and perhaps impact their future.

Merry Christmas Everyone,

Chantal

President/Training Officer

Last August I lost a coworker in an accident more fitting to a horror movie than a workplace. He left behind 3 boys aged 10, 15 and 17 that he was raising himself. I took up a collection for Christmas gifts at work and have received a great deal of money. Now I am trying to decide which activities and gifts would work to brighten up their first Christmas without their father. I am currently planning some outings and would like to ask if the club would allow them to take the wet exit  and rescue course or another suitable beginner training course without joining the club to see if this is something they may be interested in. I will supply all of the equipment they may need. I do not know who makes this decision so I put it to the general membership through general discussion.

Please let me know what you decide.

Bob

Hello folks,

Is anyone in our club on the admin / moderator team for the West Coast Paddler website or knows someone who is? I’ve been wanting to sign up for a while now but their reCAPTCHA verification seems to be not working. The same verification is required to contact the web admin through the site making it impossible to reach out to them.

Any workaround suggestions are welcome too.

Thanks!

Hi Redouane, this email address should work: steveb@stpub.com

[Redouane Fakir]

Maybe it’s just me but at least one of the two RSVP emails didn’t work, namely

musicsteveb@stpub.com

Hope the other email works, although the spelling looks unusual since the spelling of name and email address don’t seem to match:

maciej_s@telus.net

Again, it’s probably just me 😉

 

merry Christ everybody <3

I hope somebody cancels the on the water part of this asap. I really wanted to do this because last year I missed it but the marine forecast is for 20-30 northerly outflow winds. The wind will die down as it changes direction from the south and if it were to look good, maybe you could poke your noses out for an hour on a morning or afternoon paddle but not dusk to after dark.
