Title: Red Fusion is Recruiting
Post by: deedub on January 23, 2009, 08:28:37 AM
Red Fusion is recruiting paddlers for the 2009 season!

We will be practicing out of Dragon Zone twice a week, likely on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. In terms of racing, we’re looking to participate in the same races as we did last year – namely RioTintoAlcan, Harrison, and Kelowna.

You don’t have to have experience to join – all we ask is that you bring a great attitude, a willingness to learn, and a desire to commit. We made great last strides last year with a nearly a half-boat of new paddlers by jumping a division at Alcan and Kelowna. We consider ourselves a Rec A team, if that serves as a reference.

If you’re interested in making some new friends as well as having a great season on the water, come out to our informal “meet-and-greet” on Friday, February 6 at 8 PM at the Cedar Cottage Pub on Kingsway and Knight. If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a PM. Otherwise, we hope to see you there!

Hey Future Fusioners!

Tonight's the Night!  Please drop by Cedar Cottage as we're still recruiting all paddlers.  Or if you're just in the neighbourhood, just stop on by.

See you tonight.

Bump!

Red Fusion is still looking for a couple of female paddlers to complete the roster - previous experience is not required. Our next practice is this Thursday at 7 PM. Send me a message for more details.

Hi, I am interested in joining a dragon boat team. I live in Richmond and have no experience paddling, but love being on the water. I'm 47 and looking for something close to home.

Are you still recruiting?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Carmen

Hey everyone,

Red Fusion is looking to recruit paddlers for the summer paddling season.

We'll be going to Victoria (August 15-16) and Kelowna (September 19-20.) Also, we're looking at possibly getting a crew together for Harrison.

We likely need another 3-4 female paddlers to fill the roster. But, we wouldn't mind a couple of guys to round out the roster too.

PM me for details.

Hey,

What are the costs we're looking at?

I just finished my first year paddling with corporate team Rogers Rebels so I'm still fairly new at this sport. I'm interested in continuing for the summer! I'd appreciate a response to [email protected] :) Thanks and I hope to hear from you soon!

Grace

Hi Cait,

How Wet Can You Get?? is still looking for a paddler for Harrison (July 25th) as well as Kelowna (Sep 18-20).
Please email me at [email protected] if you are interested.
Sorry, no poster for you to admire.  We're not quite the artistic type.

Thanks.

OMG stealing someone else's recruitment post. Faux pas.  :shock:

BernMan, I think hijacking threads is hilarious. It adds levity to the situation. It also BUMPS the thread up to the top of the list, like what I am doing now.

If Red Fusion really had a problem with it, I am sure they could have PM'd splashgirl to have it removed, or had the moderator ban the user. But I am sure it wasn't really a big deal.

I guess it is only a faux pas if Red Fusion needed one more female paddler and How Wet Can You Get snatched her.

I'm bumping this thread because we still would like a guy and a girl to paddle with us in Victoria.

We have accommodations taken care of and if you need a ride, we will work with you in our carpooling arrangements.

Please message me for more details.

Bump! Looking to revitalize an old thread!

Red Fusion is recruiting for the 2010 season! Hopefully you'll have had the opportunity to check out our fab recruitment poster from earlier posts.

Practices would be twice a week (Thursdays and Saturdays) out of Dragon Zone near Science World.

Experience is welcomed but not necessary! We just need commitment, willingness to learn, and the ability to put up with getting splashed on a regular basis with False Creek water :D

As a reference, we see ourselves as a high Rec team... made it into Comp D at Rio Tinto Alcan last year too.

We're looking for ladies and gents so if you're interested in paddling with us, just reply to this post or PM moi for info.
