Trent Severn Antique & Classic Boat Association
2012 Schedule of Events
For returning members, you will find that we are offering a slightly different but interesting calendar of events this year For new members joining us, we would like to welcome you to TSACBA and encourage you to take part in the activities.
As in the past, our very popular “Free Runs” will continue thanks to the support from fellow members. The “Free Runs” are those that are no charge for members to attend - you only have to look after your own expenses for ramp, locks etc. Three of the runs this year are made possible by members stepping up to organize and host them. Thank you to the Rhodes for Victoria Place, Canada Day run; the members of the Manotick Club for the Westport run; and the Philpots for the Chemong Yacht Haven run. For those of you that don’t have a boat, we always encourage you to contact the organizers to “hitch a ride” with other members.
We are also offering a new event to include everyone, if you have a working boat or not. Our “Shop Day” concept was brought about to divert some of the busy summer event traffic to the quieter winter months. It is also in place to support our long range plan of introducing and encouraging future members to the hobby of boat restoration and building. Shop Day is another free event similar to our boat runs. Members will gather at another member’s shop to view and chat about their current winter project, ask advice or just socialize. This is a great opportunity to show your children what can be done in real life, and not just look at it on the Internet!
Since a number of our events will be at smaller venues this year, attendance numbers may be limited and cut off points will have to be considered. In this case, if there is an event you want to attend, we encourage you to register for it ASAP to ensure yourself a spot. Contact , Events Co-ordinator, for any registration.
Our big event of the year will be “Paddle to Power” on June 23 at the Visitors Center of the Peterborough Lift Lock. More information and details will be coming soon, but essentially this will be focusing on the canoe, boat, and outboard motor industries in Peterborough and the surrounding area.
Participation in our events not only strengthens the Assocuiation, but it also opens doors to many recreational and social activities. There is no better way to see old friends and meet new people than to take part in the Asssociation's events. You may even find another boat to buy!
