Tubing Night! February 16 - Chicopee
Ski Club
The Area Youth Forum/Advisor is starting to accept pre-registrations for the Chickopee Tubing Night on Feb 16, 2010 at $10 per member/parent (for Beavers only). Registration will begin at 6pm at the front door of the park. Full payment and registration must be recieved by Feb. 05, 2010. There will be no extensions on the closing registration date.
I have also managed to secure more than 200 spots with the option up to 425 spots. With that said, you must pre-register for this event as the park may have to close for the night to the public. This event is for youth and leaders only. No family members are allowed to register for this event unless it is a parent of a Beaver. Only 1 parent can register with a Beaver. For those groups who have already registered and wishes to change their numbers, again Feb 05, 2010 is the closing date for registration.
Beavers are allowed to participate in this event. They must have and bring with them a certified CSA Helmet to wear for this event. There are helmets to rent, but they are in limited supply.
Be sure to dress for the weather. If the weather does not seem to want to cooperate, an alternate date is currently being looked into.
If there are any questions and/or concerns, do not hesitate to contact me or Tim Read the Area Youth Advisor. Rhonda Stewart, Area Commissioner, 519-622-3366 rhondaphil@rogers..com |
