Gravity

Fabian, a friend, and I are going to a rail park in Georgia next weekend.  Thursday 18th thru Sunday the 21st.  Originally we had 5 people to go, making it 70 a person per day.  However two of the people dropped out and we are looking for two more.  The total will be 180 plus Gas, if any of you have an interest in hitting rails, give me a shout at my email naj1398@uncw.edu and come with us.  This isn’t a UNCW Club thing, its just some of us going down to hit rails, which is a rare opportunity.  Let us know if you want to go.

Changes

Check the schedules page to see when the next club MEETING is.  We need to get everyone squared away as a full member and designate some duties for the upcoming contests.  Also we want to talk a little more in depth about the trip at the end of the semester.  Club days this week were a little plagued with bad weather and boat trouble, but don’t sweat it.  We are probably going to do two, maybe three club days in October, and they will be on weekends so scheduling conflicts wont get in the way as much.

1st Meeting Recap

So, the first meeting went pretty well.  Here are the basics of what we went over.

1.  There are meetings every Monday night at 5pm in the Rec Center room 114.  Over the course of the semester there will be 12 of these meetings.  If you, as a wakeboard club member, attend 10 out of 12 of these meetings, the club as a whole will earn points and money from the school.  The meetings are posted in the schedules section.  These aren’t “wakeboard club meetings,” they are management meetings for all of the sports club students that help the club earn funding.

2. We are planning at trip over Winter Break to Florida.  If you attend the 10 out of 12 meetings, or volunteer to help out Fabian with the contests (his email is in the officers section).  Then the club will help you out for a portion of your expenses if you go on the winter break trip.  If for some reason the trip falls through (unlikely) then you will be compensated by free boat sets/lessons in return.

3. I am going to post CLUB DAY SIGN UP TIMES over the course of the weekend.  Send me an email stating what time you wish to sign up and i will send you a confirmation email saying that you got that time or sorry, you need to sign up for another.

4.  To attend club day you must be a FULL MEMBER, meaning you have paid dues, taken the swim test, given us a copy of health insurance and student ID (scan and email to trj3366@uncw.edu), and signed the waivers.

5. We have our Collegiate Regional Qualifier on September 27th.  You are all encouraged to participate.  There will be many divisions with a wide range of skill levels- Beginner, Intermediate, Outlaw, Pro, Women, Wakeskate.  So get involved, help out, and ride for UNCW in the contest.

Club day sign ups will be posted soon, so check back regularly.

First Meeting and other news

We’re going to have our first meeting tomorrow (Thursday the 4th) in front of the Fischer Center at 8pm.  Make sure you bring a swim suit because we are going to have a swim test afterwards.  Depending on the weather we are going to have our first club day on Sunday of this week.  In order to go out on the boat,you have to have done the four things below.  If you can’t take the swim test tomorrow, you can take it any time Monday through Thursday from 8pm to 10pm in Trask.  We will be sending out emails tonight for the people who signed up during the involvement Carnival today.  If you did NOT get an email and you want to be on the email list then email one of the officers and let us know and we’ll put you on the list.  See you tomorrow night.
