Hello interested Debs-to-be!
This is the RSVP page for our info session on Sunday, November 10th, at 6:30pm at the Roy Wilkins at the River Center. See here for the map http://www.rivercentre.org/plan/floor-plans
Our goal with this Info Session is simply to answer questions you may have about how Debs functions, provide information about the required gear, and give you a sneak peek of a Debs practice. This info session will be happening concurrent with the last practice of the Fall Session, so you will get a chance to see what practice actually looks like. You WILL NOT be allowed on skates at this time.
We are hoping to get a reasonable idea of the number of people who will be attending the Info Session, so please register if you are interested!
The timeline for Spring 2020 registration is as follows:
October 27 – active Debs can register for Spring Session
November 10 – Spring 2020 Info Session
November 17 - reserve Debs will be invited to register
January TBD - first Spring Session practice (date will be finalized and announced mid-December)
