Title: Update on DragonZone
Post by: NFW on September 14, 2009, 02:46:31 AM
I believe Dragonzone is to be moved to the North side of the creek, so latecomers from the skytrain have to run a bit longer ;)

When is the approx move date?

I was under the impression that it would be moved in early 2010 in time for the Olympics, well before the paddling season. In other words, I'm out of a job starting now.

Sigh, just when we got electricity...

Don't quote me on this, though.  :shock:

lol, at least you'll resume the job once the new 'container boxes'? opens up again.

Updates:

- Season at DZ to begin mid-march... until then, access from Jan-Feb will still be in false creek, but location TBA.
- Plans to move our docks a bit East after 2010 Olympics
- The building nearby will be available for us after 2010 (showers and toilets! real, working, flushing, toilets!!!)
- DZ may also become a full-service paddling club for both teams and individuals. This means that there may soon be kayaks and canoes.
- Teams will still retain access to marathon canoes and OC6's. Kayaks and canoes are separate for individual members.
- Cost of membership is around $200 per year, but DZ Team members will have discounts on individual membership.
- I may still have a job!!

And woo hoo! My "other home" isn't moving too far away  :D

Given the announced boating restrictions being imposed on False Creek for the Olympics, the temporary location is presumably west of the Cambie st bridge... hopefully it's transit accessible.

I like how you emphasized word for word ' real, working, flushing, toilets!!!' :rofl:

Nothing beats the sky train for accessibility haha
