ACTIVITIES
Angel-Guppy Runs
Angels are more experienced club members helping less experienced Guppies with lines, tips, and support for those ready to step up their game.
(Note these are *not* classes and Angels take no legal responsibility for the runs.)
Angel-Guppy runs will be happening on both Saturday and Sunday.
All prospective Angels and Guppies please sign up here:
Saturday Potluck & Campout
4:00 PM Saturday (or whenever you get off the water)
GCP members Jacqui Moore and Paul Simmons have once again offered their fabulous property and pool for the weekend’s festivities, including free camping! Directions to their property below – 2 minutes from the Coloma Club.
GCP will provide main dish items, including vegetarian. Bring your choice of appetizers, side dishes, desserts to share – and drinks and lawn chair. Party on!
GCP and our generous hosts Jacqui & Paul (with a big hand from Linda and Kevin down the road) will also provide ice water and cooler space. Please bring your re-usable plates etc, but GCP will also provide some basics.
Please sign up for potluck and camping here.
Remember, all campers are also signing up for “clean-up crew”
Saturday GCP Meeting
The GCP annual membership meeting will also be held at the Saturday potluck. It is intended as a forum for the general membership to provide feedback and suggestions to the “Ruddering Committee”.
This helps determine the overall mission of the club and the service it provides to the members as well as the paddling community at large. Make your voices heard!
Saturday Roll Contest
Roll contest in the pool will be held before dinner so you can participate before you change out of your paddling gear!
Newbie as well as open division, with a special prize for the best fail!! Show-off ‘specialty’ roll division: bring your beer roll, pass-the-paddle-across-the-bottom roll, or – dare we hope for it – a straitjacket roll.
Member-Led Runs
For those not participating in Angel-Guppy paddles, let’s get out on the river with some member-led trips. Post your trip, meeting time/place, etc. on the GCP listserve and we’ll make it a full weekend of fun!
Team River Runner Donations
Please bring any used paddling gear, especially large sizes, for our local Team River Runner chapter to help get vets out on the water.
DIRECTIONS TO THE POTLUCK – AND PARKING/CAMPING INFO
Please sign up for potluck and camping here.
The home of Jacqui Moore and Paul Simmons:
7101 Amoloc Lane, Lotus.
This is the first driveway on the left on Amoloc. Amoloc is the first left past the Coloma Club stop sign heading toward Greenwood.
Parking
There will be a large parking area at the next right-hand turning after Jacqui & Paul’s place. (They are the first left on Amoloc, the first right after that is the parking.) Look for signs. There will also be limited parking off the driveway.
Camping
Jacqui and Paul have a beautiful, spacious property and are welcoming campers to stay for Saturday night! Bring your camping gear and be prepared for a restful, relaxing night in Lotus.
There are eight beautiful acres with numerous great spots to camp. If you are car-camping, there are some spots on the property to do that as well. There are spots right off the driveway, and more secluded spots for those who like a bit more privacy.
Potluck-Camping SIGNUPS
We need to know numbers for the potluck to ensure we have enough main dish food.
There should be enough space for all who want to camp, but want to keep an eye on the numbers there too.
Camping note: If you sign up for camping, you are also signing up for party cleanup crew! 😊
