Each year the Bardstown Boaters asks our membership base to help us keep the club alive. One of the main ways that the Bardstown Boaters do this is by renewing our affiliate membership to American Whitewater.

We are now asking for a small donation so that we can raise the $75 needed to renew this affiliate membership. American Whitewater restores rivers dewatered by hydropower dams, eliminates water degradation, improves public land management and protects public access to rivers for responsible recreational use.

Your donation will fund river stewardship work throughout Kentucky and the United States. Support your rivers!

Now in the final days of the 2006th year following the first Christmas I look back at the last 350+ days and remember the exciting, adventurous, and communal times spent on and around the waterways of the southern US. I recollect the joys of planning the logistics of a trip; the initial idea of when and where to go, who to bring along, what to pack, where to stay, how to get there, and what to expect.Read More...

The membership fund raising is going very well.  Soon I will have us listed with American Whitewater as an affiliate club.

Also last night Justin and I discussed the January meeting a little further, so be ready for that come this winter.  We'll make this an annual event and from now on this is when we can renew memberships.  We may start raise club funds so we can expand club operations.

The first goal in that field will be to hold winter roll sessions in Bardstown.  Justin is going look into Nazareth and try to get the pool there once a month.  It'll be around $5 to help cover the cost of renting the pool and to raise money for the club.

So get ready for these up coming events!

During our past camp trip we decided that for next year we may try to install $10 membership dues. Then use the money to get us listed as an official whitewater club with American Whitewater. This cost $75 per year. Thus giving us more exposure by being listed on there website and in there bi-monthly magazine and hopefully a larger membership base.

We want to also organize another charitable event, maybe something tied in with the Bourbon Festival next year so we can get exposure by being listed in their literature and website as an official bourbon festival event. Something like a Bourbon Float. "Travel down the old Beech Fork river to see the old dam where Evan Williams was first distilled". Something like that.

2006 is all about adding new membership and promoting paddling to the Bardstown community.
