508 [PGBSC Blog] information regarding the Kamloops swim meet

THIS MESSAGE IS FOR THOSE ATTENDING THE KAMLOOPS INVITATIONAL NEXT WEEKEND

 

One week to go until the club heads down to Kamloops!

 

This morning I have a number of items to pass on to you.

 

1.       Those travelling with the club are to be at the Aquatic Centre Thursday June 6 at 8:45am.  The club will be returning to PG Monday June 10.

2.       There is a practice Thursday June 6 in Kamloops starting at 5:30pm.  If you are still travelling at that time, see you Friday am.

3.       The start times are being changed.  In order to maintain a proper session length and minimize the need to limit the number of swim events, Kamloops has decided to adjust the warm-up and start times for the Saturday and Sunday Sessions.

 

Accordingly the meet will proceed as follows.  Be on deck 20 minutes prior to the beginning of warm ups

Friday Prelim Warm-up: 12&U, 7:00 am – 7:35 am; 13&O 7:35 am – 8:15 am; 8:30 am Start

Saturday Prelim Warm-up: 12&U, 6:45 am – 7:15 am; 13&O 7:15 am – 7:50 am; 8:00 am Start. 

Sunday Prelim Warm-up: 12&U, 6:45 am – 7:15 am; 13&O 7:15 am – 7:50 am; 8:00 am Start.

Finals for all three days will have warm-up 4:00 pm – 4:50 pm with racing at 5:00 pm. 

4.       The 50 and 100 of each stroke, 200 free and 200 im will  be swum as Heats and A/B finals.  This means if you are 11 and over and place in the top 16 in the morning, you will be in finals.

5.       Relays for 11 and over are in the evening at the end of Friday and Saturday finals

6.       For those of you who are relatively new to the whole swim meet experience, click on this link for more information http://www.pgbsc.org/what-to-do-a-swim-meet/

 

That’s it for now.  Any questions, let me know.

 

Cheers,

 

Jason

505 [PGBSC Blog] Fwd: Mega Sale Drivers

Hi everyone:

It's that time of the year again when you get the opportunity to go and do some test driving of vehicles for the Ford Dealership.  I am looking for any and all drivers for the morning of June 6^th starting at 9:00 am at the Ford Dealership on Central and again on Saturday June 15^th starting at 5:30 pm.  This is a really fun way to earn some fund raising levy credits.  Anyone who has done it in the past will tell you it's a blast.

For those of you who wondering what I am talking about, we will be meeting at the dealership at 9:00 am on June 6 and will be driving cars from the dealership to the parking lot at CN Centre for the annual Mega Sale.  There will be a shuttle that will pick us up and take us back to the dealership where we will pick up more cars and drive them to CN Centre and so on and so on.  On June the 15^th, we will do exactly the same thing except in the opposite direction ( we will take any unsold vehicles from the CN parking lot back to the dealership).  The dealership provides a donation which we then proportionately allocate to your FRL account.

I need at least 10 drivers for Thursday and will welcome more.  I recognize there may be a conflict as some of you are travelling to Kamloops for the meet.  If you are not going to go until that afternoon, you can still come and drive. 

Please let me know your availability for both June 6^th and the 15^th by this Friday, May 31, 2013 at noon.  Email: sheilanelson@kpmg.ca or direct line at work: 250-614-4071.  I will be providing more details to those of you who are able to drive.

Regards,

Sheila Nelson, CA, MBA
