Year End Pot Luck and Annual General Meeting (AGM) at Rotary Sunshine Camp!

Annual General Meeting: Saturday, April 20, 2013, 5:00 – 6:30 pm
Come and review the past season and learn of the clubs initiatives for next year. The AGM is a great opportunity to present your thoughts and opinions on the clubs objectives and the direction you’d like to see it move in. Member participation greatly encouraged! After the AGM the Year End Celebration and Pot Luck start. Come celebrate a great year of skiing and the many accomplishments our volunteers and competitive skiers have achieved over the course of the 2012/13 Winter season. We’ll reflect back on the year with a slide show, comments from executive members, volunteer and coach awards and some draw prizes to be won.

Avalon Nordic Race Suits
This year we have a new design for our Avalon Nordic race suit. Click the link to see the ANSC 2013 Suit Design. By popular demand, purple is in. Keep in mind you're looking at the front and back and sides of the suit at the same time; but you can get the gist of it. A size chart can be found here. They tend to fit on the small side (although much less so than in previous years); so err on the larger side.
Cost will be $140 for both pieces (or $70 per piece). Orders will only taken from now until Jan 8th, so we can get them in time for provincials. To order, contact ErikCharron@gmail.com

Junior Development Program
Updated information, including schedule and a Letter for Parents, has been posted to the Junior Development page.
