The clinic will begin for all athletes in the morning, the courses and the badge times will be announced based on registration. At this time I am thinking to have the Level One Coaches course in the morning as it is only half a day on the Saturday, and then the coaches and judges workshop in the afternoon. The coaches and judges workshop will be very informative, Maureen Johnson will be presenting the two new solos that are being piloted across the country, information on the Pre events and the direction of group twirling, along with other things. Sheri Carter will be offering an opportunity to practice judge several classes for coaches and judges. It will be a super day! Hope many take the opportunity to participate. Please write to kimgenton@gmail.com with any questions. Scheduling of the day will be confirmed upon completion of the registration.

-an “OBTA membership summary” form, which tallies the money you owe OBTA
-a form 103 for new members. Fill out completely and parent must sign. Club directors, please note you do NOT have to submit birth certificates – you just have to sign that you have seen the birth certificate!!! Please pay attention to this!!
-a form 102 (for later use) – the membership data change form…if any of your renewing members have changed information of any kind AFTER the submission of their renewal form 101 (see below), a form 102 must be submitted. Make sure ALL possible changes are submitted. Initial changes (ie: changes in effect NOW) can be made right on form 101

-a password which will open it!
All these forms should be returned, with your cheque payable to OBTA no later than September 30, 2013, but the earlier the better!
