Complimentary taxi and shuttle service will be available after the event to help you get home safely.

Interclub at Caledon

A number of factors contributed to a modest turnout for Saturday's interclub SL at Caledon. Even the hosts didn't field a full team. Craigleith's representatives had the highest average per capita score (there's always a bright side to be found) and finished a respectable third in the team standings. Craig Shibley and Greg Cavers won the two largest age groups of the day, while Jeff Craig was second in his group. The scores of Margaret Isberg and Kate Veer weren't as high as they would have been with some opposition, and Rob Burnes and Steve Gailits rounded out the Craigleith contingent with solid contributions in big age groups. Results are here. This weekend promises a much bigger field as teams prepare for the winner take all final.

"Hoedown" - The Craigleith Athletic Fundraiser

It's this Saturday at 7 in the Base Lodge. Don’t miss the opportunity to ride a mechanical bull, win some amazing auction items and most importantly, support our competitive athletes (that includes all of us in GDHL) and programming across the alpine racing, snowboard and freestyle disciplines. All athletes benefit tremendously from the funds that are raised and directed towards infrastructure at the Club such as timing, race equipment, finish huts, display boards etc. See below for details of the GDHL's contribution to a great auction package, as well as general details for the event.

And if you can't make it to the event, you can still contribute through the online auction here. Click on the “Bid Now” link below the item, fill in your information (please use the email address that is associated with your Craigleith member account) and give the amount of your bid. If you get outbid, you will receive a notification email .... then you can bid again. If you have successfully bid on an item at the time of closing, you will be notified by email and the final amount will be added to your Craigleith account.

It's going to be an awesome weekend! See you at the Club, and keep scrolling for illustrated details.
