Planning for our 2010 - 2011 Season

You wouldn’t know it by the weather but winter is on its way! That means it’s time to plan for Etobicoke speed skating for 2010 – 2011.

Let’s plan on meeting at the Lemongrass Restaurant next Wednesday November 24th at 7:30 p.m. It’s located in the Sun Life Centre at 3300 Bloor Street West, on the northeast corner of Bloor and Islington. There’s free parking in the underground lot which can be accessed from Aberfoyle Crescent.

Topics will include pricing (since our ice costs have been going up 10% for the past few years), renewing our skate fleet, growing our membership base, coaching, road trips to the Lakefield Oval and / or Portland Skate the Lake, etc. Also on the agenda: Should we lead discussions with the city about allowing skating on Grenadier Pond?

David, Jim and Michael have already said that they’ll be coming. Please let me know if you’ll be able to join us. It’s up to you whether you come for dinner, dessert or a drink – or a combination.
