Jan 28 - Skate practice at Bragg Hill in Norwich
Thursday, 28 January 2010

The trails are closed at Oak Hill and at Garipay so we will not hold practice at either venue on Thursday, January 28.  We have been offered the use of a small ski loop at the Norwich home of Doug and Janet Hardy at the corner of Bragg Hill Rd and Tucker Hill Rd.  Doug has groomed a 0.5 km ski loop which we have used in previous season's when the snow is scarce in Hanover.  Thanks to their higher elevation and northern exposure they have snow when no one else does!

The plan is to hold a skating practice there from 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm. We understand that this is not an ideal situation for many in the program so this is an optional practice for those who can make it!
