MEC CLUB NITE:

Time: Saturday, November 21, 2009 from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.
Where: Mountain Equipment Co-op, 303 Portage Ave

The MBGA is excited to be a member club of Mountain Equipment Co-op Community Partnership Program. As a benefit of this program, MEC is hosting a Club Night where MBGA members will be entitled to a 10% discount on any item in the store. The November club night will be shared with two other groups - Paddle Manitoba and the Manitoba Whitewater Club. Come out for some great deals and meet some paddlers!

Look for the MBGA banner and identify yourself to a board member to qualify for your shopping discount. MEC is a co-operative and membership is required to make purchases. The lifetime membership is $5

MBGA Pub Nite

Since we're going to be downtown for the Club Nite anyway, we thought we might as well follow it upwith an MBGA Pub Nite.

MEC has added two, 15 minute presentations or “PK’s” to make the night more interactive:

* At around 7:00 pm Greg Rubell will be running a PK on Snowshoes (features and benefits, materials, sizing…etc)

* At around 7:30 pm Doug Ross will be running a PK on layering clothing for winter activities. He will be comparing some of his old gear to new gear and discussing layering principals, differences in materials, and answering any clothing related questions.

Also, Erica from CPAWS (Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society) will be setting up a table to promote the CPAWS give a “wild” gift campaign and to answer any questions.
