2005 YEAR ROUND EVENT STAMPS

Are you getting anxious to get out walking with the group, check the 2005 schedule, we won't be getting back together until Sunday 06 February 2005.

Why not get a few friends and do one of our 5 YRE's either in North Sydney, Glace Bay, Louisbourg, Baddeck or in Sydney.

The +2005 slug will be put on each event stamp shortly after 01 January. Weather conditions permitting I will do my best to change the stamps as quickly as possible.

I am reviewing the rules for the Frequent Walker Progam for these events and hopefully we will come up with a variation of the original concept; example walk 2 or more of the YRE's and walk the remainder for only $1.00 until the first part of the year when the + sign is removed. It is your club and suggestions would be appreciated.


From Our Area Director:

Season's greetings everyone:


I am forwarding an email that was sent to me from the Convention 2005
committee. If you have not done so already and are planning on attending
the convention and taking part in the post convention trips please do so
soon as space and availability are getting scarce.

Please pass on to all your club members.
