Programming Update

Precomp, Jr & Sr Fitness, Comp & Masters:
There will be a practice in Petawawa from 8:00-9:25pm Fri Mar 27/15.  If you are attending, please indicate to Jim McKenna (jim.mckenna@cnl.ca) by 6pm as he will make sure your admittance fee is covered.  Meet in the Deep River Pool Parking lot at 7:20pm.  The club takes no responsibility in car pooling or safe arrival.

Further programming for the weekend will be finalized by 5pm tomorrow.  Check this blog then.

Problem with the Pool:
The current problem with the pool is completely unrelated to the two most recent leak closures.  The current closure was caused by a series of unpredictable events which caused a flood in the filter room which then interfered with the electrical system.  Although it is still frustrating because of the closure we're relieved that the leak repairs are still holding until the pool closes this summer for the major renovation.

Pizza Kits:
Please pick-up your Pizza Kits on Friday March 27/15 @ 3:30pm in the Deep River Pool parking lot.

Thanks!
Mitch

GOOD NEWS!! DRC programming will be up and running tomorrow morning, March 7th. The ICS make-up class will be 8:15-9:15am. All other programming will resume as usual.
Still waiting to hear back from my Town contact. Check back @ 8pm.
Mitch

Programming Update

ICS is cancelled today.  The pool is still closed.


Niagara Pools & Spas are en route to assess the problem.  We will have a more conclusive answer tomorrow afternoon.  Programming is hopefully to resume on Saturday March 7/15.  An update will be made by 2pm Friday. 


As in the past, missed programming time beyond 24 hours will either be credited using a formula (missed hours versus alternative programming/location offered)  or make-up dates will be added at the end of the session.  If you have concerns over this, please email our president, Catherine Kerr, directly at mck5@sympatico.ca


We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your utmost patience.  The Town itself has minimal information to pass so it is difficult to make program decisions - thanks for your give and take.


Mitch Blimkie, DRC Head Coach
