The Saturday water practice (Aug 4) has been cancelled, due to low registration numbers.   A water practice must have at least 10 paddlers registered (plus a steersman, coach and someone to tow the boats).   Our apologies to those who signed up for Saturday.    An email notice has been sent to those who registered.

Houston Heat race videos will be posted on YouTube from now on.  Visit our YouTube page at http://youtube.com/profile?user=HoustonHeatDBClub

Please note several new policies when signing up for water practices:

• Registration for Saturday Water Practices will close on Thursday at 9pm. No more registrations will be accepted, and the sign-up list will be removed from the website. If you need to cancel your registration after Thursday at 9pm, you must inform the Coaches at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
  
• When registering for a water practice, you must indicate whether you need a paddle or a PFD.
  

These new policies help the Coaches & Quarter Masters plan for the number of boats and equipment to haul down to Clear Lake each Saturday. Loading the boats at the warehouse takes a lot of work, so closing registration on Thursday night gives the Coaches extra time to make arrangements with the [fabulous!] HH volunteers who load and tow the boats. These policies also save the Coaches from packing 40 wooden paddles and PFDs, when only a few are actually needed at practice.

If you come to practice without registering, and there is not enough equipment, then your seat on the boat will be on pending status until we depart. If you have any questions about these policies, send an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
