AGM & Year End Watershow: May 28
Please join us for our Annual General Meeting (9:30am) on May 28 at Surrey Sport and Leisure (rink side, upstairs, multi-purpose room). This meeting is where we will hold the elections for the 2016-2017 Executive. We will also have a presentation by Coach Tanya Magee for rec parents who want to know more about moving to competitive synchro. 2 FCP points are given to each family attending the meeting (while aunts and cousins are welcome, it is still 2 points per family).
Following the AGM, we will host our Year End Watershow (11:30am) at SSLC where we will see this year’s routines for the last time and give a great send off to our 13-15 athletes who are heading to the Canadian Espoir Championships a few days later. The entry fee will once again be $5 per adult, including parents. Funds raised from all Watershows this year go towards pool costs.
