Okay, so things for the winter are possibly taking shape. Yes, we'll be forgoing the boats during the winter, but not the training! There are a few options for us in terms of where we can train over the winter and the New Bedford YMCA is one of them. I met with 3 great people over at the Y today, thanks to our own Gary Schuyler for setting it up.
Nancy Bonell is the VP and COO, Mary Beth Gamache is the Wellness Director, and Tara Pacheco is the Associate Executive Director. They were all great and had lots of ideas. I think Tara may even join the team! We examined space options both for storage as well as during a class. Storage will be a challenge, but they seemed eager to come up with a way to make it work. We discussed scheduling of classes and boy are they busy. There are a few times we could hold class there, either in the early mornings or later evenings. It's looking like 3 days a week would work, and now we just need to come up with fee structures along with access rights accordingly.
So no fear, athletes!! We'll make sure this winter will include rowing and that by the time Spring season hits, you'll all be fit as a fiddle!
