What Colour IVV Record Book Should I Use??
The following article was originally submitted by Judy Everard of the DVC
Many members, especially the newer ones, find IVV Record Books rather confusing and don't really understand the various colours. Since another colour - RED - has recently been added, hopefully the following will simplify matters by giving a brief explanation of when to use the various books and at the same time answer many of your questions.
IVV Record Books are used to record both Distance and Events although not all members keep a record of both; some choose to record only one or the other.
The Distance Books come in Blue, Beige and Yellow and are used as follows:
BLUE - 500km increments up to 8000km (500 - 8000km)
BEIGE - 1000km increments up to 22,000km (9000km - 22,000km)
YELLOW - 3000km to bring your distance up to 25,000km and then 5000km increments thereafter.
The Event Books come in Green, Purple, Salmon and Red and should be used as follows:
GREEN - Your first book will record 10 events (5 on the "free sheet" and 5 in the book) and the next two books will each record 20 events for 30 and 50 events.
PURPLE - Increments of 25 events and used between 75 and 600 events. Thus, your first purple book will be for 75 events and will contain sanctions for event #51 to event #75.
SALMON - Increments of 50 events and used from 650 to 1500 events. Your first salmon
book will be 650 events and will contain sanctions for event #601 to event #650. This book looks like a "beige" colour but is officially referred to as "salmon".
RED - This is a relatively new book which records 100 events and used from 1600 onward. Thus, your first red book will be for 1600 events and will contain sanctions for event #1501 to event #1600.
There is also a Bicycle Distanc Book. Although it is permissable to enter the distance for a bicycle event in your regular distance book once per year, if you plan to participate in other bike events more often you should have a Bicycle Distance Book.
Regardless of which book you use, always remember that we walk for FUN, FITNESS & FRIENDSHIP!!!

Our First Walk for the Season!
On the 28 of March, 16 of our members braved the windy weather for our North Sydney Guided Walk Event, led by Robin Grant while Isabel looked after the back of the pack as our sweep.
Our newest member, Janice Wilson joined us for this event along with Joan Walsh, both have completed volksmarch events in Europe while there with the Canadian Armed Forces. Welcome to the club folks!
The TransCanada Trail was not readily accessible due to snow conditions, Robin scouted out a route around North Sydney which proved to be a great walk as all the sidewalks were clear of ice and snow and we were sheltered by the wind.
Check Your Schedule!
Our next EVENT is Sunday,18 April @ 1:00pm in Sydney Mines starting at Indian Beach near Rollie's Wharf
Stay Tuned For New Info to be Released Shortly on Our 1st Annual Celtic Colours Fall Walk Events
