Nationals

2010-05-12

Hello Everyone,

Nationals is next weekend May 22/23 at Joe Rockheads in Toronto, as you already know. This is the last stop of the Tour de Bloc for the seaosn. Once results are tabulated the 2010/2011 national team will be announced. Climbers making the Natioanl team then have the option of climbing for Canada at World Cup events in the following year.

Regarding the World Cup in Vail this June, Canada is allowed to registar 10 men and 10 women. First priority goes to last years National team, in order of ranking. If the postions are not all filled, the next priority is this years team in order of ranking, (selected after Nationals May 23/10).

I would like to have the list of people going to Vail decided immediatly following Nationals, May 23/10. We will have a meeting right after the awards ceremony. I will have to finalize this list then, so everyone attending will be registared in time.

This does not leave much time to get uniforms sized.

So if you think you are going and are from last years team (first priority) could you please email me at jtcbowles@gmail.com
by Monday, May 17/10, 12 noon and give me the size unifrom you would like and your commitment to attend. Payment will be required May 23/10, at the meeting post nationals. I will send out the prices, as soon as I have them from Beta. Please let me know if you are confirmed as attedning, beacuse if you are not certain, I can give the spot to someone from this years team who is gaurenteed to attend.

If you are not on last years team and think you may make this years team and are interested in going to Vail, please also email me by monday May 17, 12 noon and let me know you would like an avaialbe spot if there is one.

I will be in touch,

thanks
