The TCT Paddlers,
Here is the club's official schedule for the 2020 paddling season. Watch the Official Trips section of this forum for meeting times and locations posted by the trip leaders. (Trip details generally are NOT posted on the club's Facebook page.) Ron Eells will also be holding a strokes clinic on Guilford Lake at a date yet to be determined.
Many thanks to all the trip leaders!!!
In addition, check the Unofficial Trips section for last minute side trips and pick-up trips throughout the year. Hope everyone is looking forward to a great season of running the rivers and lakes of our region. See you on the water!
