Tiger.. bro, that's Hilarious.  All to often there ends up being a Bloc contingent somewhere on the team though

[DuckMan]

Whatever happens, if our ideas are met or not. I'm looking forward to getting this team going. Can't wait for practices to start, if you want to join us please let us know and we'll send you all the information we have. PB, AE, Tex, TT and whoever else is out there.. It'd be great to have you guys on board.

I suppose we'll be asking for commitments pretty soon to and with that we'll send out a roster, maybe book at a restuarant at some point to meet everyone. I'd prefer that was Before jan 15th though. How does the buffalo club sound?  8)

what do you think?

[nakedpaddler]

Sounds good, can't wait to meet you.  Buffalo Club would be fine by me.

Are you the Bloc of D'nD   or should we say Bloc de Dragons?

We don't have to commit before meeting everyone, do we?   How full is your roster now?  I don't care about names, obviously, just wondering if I have time to think about it or if you need immediate commitment.

I think both Tex and Lethal have managed to articulate so much more eloquently myself the concept behind our team "government".  Thanks guys you both seem to get it... and regards to PB as well I think you also understand where we are coming from.  

[Shudder]  Team government  [shudder]   Now there's a way to scare away new paddlers.

Ok,
I think I know the score here:

$250 gets us

2 practices a week
coaching on both days
Alcan Regatta
Alcan Fest.[/list:u]

$250 is pushing it a bit for me. I wish it was a bit less. Do we get a professional experienced coach each day?

I understand that Ben Lee of Swordfish is coaching one day a week.
 Is he a pro?
Do we have to pay him?
I thought he was with Swordfish!?

Is this a swordfish team???

PB Perplexed

Hi PB

Maybe I can help you?

Ben Lee is good and has been coaching Swordfish. He has to be paid, but I don't think he can do both nights.
My understanding from Duckman's short team boi and recruitment and the stuff from Lethal (Ben) and P Funk, is that these guys are close with Ben.
Correct me if I'm wrong, Duckman, but Swordfish wanted a "B" team that was more fun-oriented with a greater number of novices and their own distinct identity. Hence, "Fluid Motion".
I think they are not meant to be as competitive as the regular Swordfish team, but will have the same coach.

If there is more direct member involvement, too, then I'm onboard!

See ya later, L'il Missy,

Tex

[Paddle Bunny]

Thanks, Tex

What you say makes sense - guess I shudda figured that out myself.

I wonder who the guest coach would be? If we're paying for Ben on two nights, but only getting him for one, with a second-stringer to fill in, I would like to save a little in fees.

How do you feel?

Any ideas?

PB

[Tex Messenger]

Well,

maybe they could throw in the team jerseys with the extra money.

I'd really like that.

Which reminds me, I wonder if we'll have t-shirts or whatever, come Race Day???

$250 is OK for me, but I think we need two good days of coaching. I would even pay more for that, but I know not everyone can.

What do you think of financial reports? Some of us think there should be full formal disclosure on a regular basis.

Cheers,

Tex

[DuckMan]

AaaAHh. . Noope not quite right  

Ben is coaching for something like 4 or 5 teams this year if i'm not mistaken, is this right Lethal? A couple in fort langley, the fishies, and us. Besides the fact that naked paddled with the fishies for a festival or two last year, that's our only connection to em.  Completely different team..

Ben will be paid for the thursday practice, and another coach for the monday practices. We've approached a couple alternate coaches already. Soo.. I guess to clear things up, We only pay ben for the one night.
