Can you tell me how many people you're expecting? Is it just experienced paddlers or is the public invited as well? We're recruiting and are happy to take people without experience as long as they're relatively fit and willing to work hard.

[Bambi]

Hi coach,

We're expecting all levels of paddlers to attend on Saturday. From novices looking to join a team to advanced paddlers looking for a new team. Ads will be running in 24 Hours this week to invite the general public as well.

Setting up a table at the Expo will be your best chance to meet potential team mates so make sure you get your registration in as early as possible if you haven't already done so.
