Thanks to those that attended Wed practice - SF training is definitely a good time, especially with the currents on Wed night!
Please do your best and make it out to practice this weekend - we'll be spending some important time on fundamentals and technique.
***************************************************************************
Please see below for some important notes re the upcoming SF tourney (9/22-23):
Roster Status
- So excited to have such a good amount of participation for the tournament!
- We'll be fielding 2 mixed boats, and participating in multiple 'specialty' races - genders, masters, and visiting team.
- With all of these races, we have a definite need and spots open for more team members - please encourage each other and sign up via evite!
Lodging
- Please get this set asap!
- For those with reservations at the Parc55, please be sure that you've received confirmation (email) from the hotel. Double-check it and call 415-392-8000 if you want any changes.
- We will also have some rooms at the Hilton San Francisco (one block away) as well ($139/night). Call direct to make reservations @ 1-800-445-8667 w/ group code "DRG".
Travel Arrangements to/from SF
- If you haven't already, figure this out soon
- Please log your travel plans into the yahoogroup database.
- For those driving, help with equipment transport will be much appreciated!
- For those flying, fly into SFO or Oakland. SFO (14 miles away) seems to be more convenient as there tends to be less traffic to/from the hotel.
Ground Transport at SF
- The tourney provides a shuttle bus to/from the Parc55 & the race site
- Rental cars are not a necessity
- Some options for transport to/from Airport & Hotel are BART, Taxi, or Shuttle
- BART: Parc55 (& Hilton) is located just steps from the Powell Street Stop

P.s., we are beginning planning for the 2007 Space Dragons year-end Gala! Let the planning gurus know if you have any recommendations (Lui, Denise, Ceez). Thanks!
P.p.s., A Space Dragons facebook group has been established, join if you'd like! Great for those that want to feel like a college-kid again (like me)!
