I won't be able to make it. :cry:

This is the same night as the CRCK Paddling Film Festival that I already bought tickets to.

Have fun,

Norm

Yes, non-paddling spouses are invited. This is a social event, but I am hoping we can have some casual conversations about the upcoming paddle season too...

There is still plenty of room at our Spring Social, so come on over! Please post a RSVP if you plan to attend.

Here are some of the things I'd like you to think about:

1. Should we try and have a gear swap?

2. Should we try and organize a clean-up as a community project? Select a pond or a river?

3. Should we add some variety to the Thursday night paddles and launch from other locations? The Driftway in Scituate, Powder Point in Duxbury, Nelson beach in Plymouth? Or is this making things confusing?

4. Should we plan a beach day such as paddle out to West Island bring volleyball nets, freesbies and swim, sunbath and roll?

I can think of a million things...feel free to add to the list.

Hi Bea - Kate and I would like to come. We will bring a non-dessert dish, TBD.

Yes, to the gear swap. Great idea. Chip, Johnnysmoke and I were just talking about this the other day.

(Please message me your address - I forget.)

Thanks for hosting!

I would love to be there but that Thursday is not a free night for me. I like the idea of different locations for the Thursday evening paddles but I would miss those Southwestern salads.

Interested in the idea of a clean up, maybe can coordinate with the dcr, to get a big boat to take everything out. Also interested in the swap meet.
I think I can get out next Thursday, will bring some crackers and cheese.

Bea,
I'm all for a swap, and a beach day. Changing the weekly venue may help to attract people local to that weeks paddle that are not willing to drive all the way to Hingham.
