* Captain's Tests
For the 2008 season all participants will need to renew their captain's test. In part this is to make sure that everyone is familiar with the new facility and docking procedures. Beginning in 2008 all captain's test will remain valid for a period of three years. If a participant is not active in a CRI sculling program for one calendar yaer, his/her captain's test will no longer remian valid. In order to accomodate the large number of participants who need to renew captain's tests, CRI will be providing complimentary group captain's test on a first come first serve basis in April and May. Please contact Ryan at ryan@communityrowing.org to sign up. If you are unable to attend one of the complimentary sessions you may still take a capatin's test through the normal private lesson procedure. Both the written and practical portions of the captain's test will be made available on the "Forms" section of our website when available.

All open (logbook) scullers are eligible to attend these sessions as are any PBS scullers that register for the add on coached session option. These sessions will be limited to ten scullers each day.
