To whom it may concern;

I am writing in regards to Adult Competitive Skaters in (insert section name) Clubs. I am working with other Adult Skaters in Canada, with a group formed 4 months ago called Compadultsk8s (http://ca.groups.yahoo.com/group/compadultsk8s/). Our objective is to compile a list of Canadian Adult skaters in clubs in Canada and provide this list to Skate Canada. The goal of the Adult group is a Canadian Adult National Competition in the future. Skate Canada needs the information and we are trying to provide it to Skate Canada.

I have enclosed a few questions and hope that you will not mind sending the questions out to all clubs and passing on the Competitive Adult Skater URL to all adult skaters.

Suggestions for starting Adult Sessions

Extra ice time is not necessary for Adult skater if numbers are low. Can Skate ice time is a starting place.
Parents of skaters and former skaters, are the one's to help get a program started.

You do realize that the vast majority of clubs in this country do NOT function during the summer -- most are lucky if someone even picks up the mail!

You are likely to get far better response from your survey in September when all the 'average' clubs do their registrations and actually have their boards in place and functional.

Lee, maybe our club's weird... I'm on the exec for my club, and this is nearly our busiest time of year (just the exec, the club's shut down over the summer) - finalizing what times we have the ice, what we are doing on those hours, getting registration forms organized, printed and distributed, planning registration days and info sessions for new parents in the club, getting ads created for the local papers and the city's seasonal guide and flyers for the schools, and figuring out test dates... Not to mention planning our competition ([i:99f4142157]that's[/i:99f4142157] our busiest time of year) and getting started on the ice show planning.

That said, if I were to bring in the survey, it would not even be looked at until after the first week of september or so... (But I can tell you now that unless things change over our next registration, we have two adults, no specific program though - we just skate with the kids, and we both compete and test (free, solo dance, skills, whatever else is available...) )

I know that most clubs are shut down now but they are doing their planning and can ask the adult skaters as they register in the fall what their plans are and record it on the survey sheet and also hand out compadultsk8s URL link so that they can join.
