Hi FCRA members!
Note there is a free boat repair clinic scheduled for January 6 in Denver.
If you're interested, I suggest contacting Nicole below to make sure you're on the communication loop. Unfortunately I'll be out of town that weekend, but hopefully some of our FCRA members will be able to attend to continue climbing our club up the learning curve.

Happy New Year,
Molly

Subject: [BCRMembers] Boat Repair Clinic - January 6th at RMRC

Hi Everyone,

Rocky Mountain Rowing Club will be hosting a Boat Repair Clinic at their Boathouse on Sunday, January 6th. Information on who is giving the class is below. Time has yet to be determined - I will let you know as soon as I do.

Epoxy work will be demonstrated (amongst other things) and given warmer temperatures are needed for that, a boathouse was required and RMRC generously offered their space.

Stay tuned for more details,
-Nicole
