WALK EVENTS/GAS PRICES?/CAR POOLS


To All CBIH Walk Members,

I continue to send messages out Bcc, however some email groups consider this or recognize it as spam or junk mail, doing my best to get the info out and maintain your privacy at the same time.


The walk at St. Peters Start Time: 2pm, registration begins at 1:30

Sunday, APRIL 10th, 2005

Battery Provincial Park - just before the St Peter's Canal swing bridge; when coming from the CBRM area and of course if coming from the opposite direction you must cross the 'canal bridge' and immediate right to the park!!

Need more details contact Elsie Buck 562-3117.

Due to the high cost of gas, it has been suggested that we should be car pooling, this has always been the case, with a lot of our club members; However I feel that it would be prudent of me to suggest this once again.

example: when departing from Glace Bay there will be five club members in my car.

Do you have room for passengers or are you willing to travel with others to help save energy?

If you need the name of a club member in your area please contact me for information and/or are you ready willing and able to take passengers or be a passenger.

A good (suggested only) meeting place to pick up a pax is the Sydney River Mall near Tim Horton's or the Car Pool Lot on George Street near the 125 bypass.

North Sydney/Mines area club members can make arrangements as they see fit or if I may suggest meet at the North Sydney Mall again near the Tim Horton's.

Lets do our part to save energy, make it a habit to car pool, walk or bicycle to work.
Lets make it a habit to car pool to our Island Wide Walking Events as much as possible; take turns sharing the driving as well.
Check with our friends at Velo Cape Breton about bikes and Info:

380 Esplanade, Sydney, Cambridge Suites

Phil is working on making some changes to our YRE in Sydney and by all indications this should prove to make this a very interesting walk for our club members and visitors to the Sydney area.

Come out and get your YRE stamp for this walk, this is a good opportunity to walk this event before 30th of June.
On July 01 or thereafter you can walk again on your own or with a friend to get another EVENT STAMP in your EVENT BOOK.

You can do any of our YRE's as many times as you want and stamp your Distance Books accordingly each time you walk the event.

The Event Book can only be stamped twiced each year once with the (+)sign and once without, you can do this for each of our (5)five Year Rounds.

Come! Walk For The Health Of It!
