Hey everyone,

With two full race weekends down we’re certainly into the swing of things. Great work to everyone who competed and a big thank you to all who volunteered with the club and race organizers–needless to say, none of this goes ahead without you.

As you all know, our club is hosting this weekend’s AB Cup season kickoff. Sunday’s race is the qualifying event for Zone 2 at Alberta Winter Games. Details can be found here. Register by December 3 for a reduced fee, registration closes on December 5. You’ll need a valid Nordiq Canada race license to enter, if you haven’t already purchased/renewed you license please follow the relevant links in the race notice to do so.

Finally, if you or anyone in your family wants to get up to speed or needs a refresher on the basics of grip and glide waxing, please sign up for one of the waxing clinics on offer over the next couple of weeks. Put your name down here.

Please let Stu know whether or not you are able to join.
