Maskwa Phone is Working Again

Yes, my Maskwa phone system is back up and running. Hopefully there will be no more problems with the line. Registration glitched are almost fixed so please check back to our main website soon to register. Don't forget once you register I will need cash or cheque for payment - only once payment is received are you guaranteed a spot in our programs. I will be in the office next week from Tuesday-Friday from 9am-12pm. Please do call ahead at 443-0178 ext: 221 to ensure I'm not at a meeting. Thanks so much.

Georgeous Day at Maskwa


What a lovely day. I pulled up to Maskwa after a great meeting with John Moore and Brian Toole this morning - two guys who can work their magic at getting much needed funds for the Club - and was swarmed with loving adorable dogs! Yes, the crew of ladies from my children's elementary school, Ecole Rockingham Elementary School, were all finishing up their morning walk. It had me wishing I could join them. I tried to entice them to pop into the club for coffee but with wet dogs waiting I got the picture that wasn't going to work.

Then I got into the office to a (let's just say a lot of phone messages and emails) regarding registration. I would ask for patience here. This is a new on-line system and we're still working out the glitches, so that being said, we took it down until we get them straightened out. Hopefully it will be up by next week.

I want to apologize to Janice MacKinnon, because I mentioned in the last blog that Wendy Haley was my garden lady - wrong. It's Janice. So sorry Janice, let's just say life has been busy for me lately. Without Janice we wouldn't have any flower beds and I can't wait to see more green spread across them.

I've attached a recent photo of Natalie and Ian Miller on Kearney Lake and according to John Moore the Masters were already on the water. I think they are crazy!

Registration Soon and Judo at Maskwa

It’s another rainy day and honestly, I’m not complaining. Rain is a hundred times better than snow. I’m so happy to see the beginning of green grass and fingers crossed the flower beds that Wendy Haley planted last summer will peek through. I should point out that last week when I popped down around suppertime a deer was eating something in the flower bed but it took off before my van got close.

I am getting lots of email and calls concerning registration and would ask you to check back at our website this week. Our goal is to have it go on-line this week and again a huge thank you to Ian Wood who has worked tirelessly to get our new system created and working. You will still have to pay by cheque or cash but trust me the new on-line system makes registering much more user friendly.

Many of you already know that the ATC Judo club is now calling Maskwa’s gym home, but I wanted to share a call this morning I had from a parent. Her son is participating in the Judo club and after checking out our facility he is very keen to try his hand at paddling. This is exactly what we were hoping for – crossover when sport groups work together. On that note, I had asked Sean Goulding with ATC Judo what they offer. Below is the list of programs.

The ATC programs are primarily based on age.
Mondays and Wednesdays 6:30pm-7:30pm = Children aged 5-8 years with lots of fun games and basic Judo

Mondays and Wednesday 7:30pm-9pm = Seniors and Competitive U17+ Judo

Tuesdays and Thursdays 6:30pm-7:30pm = Juniors 9-14 years for Judo

Kick Boxing Tuesday/Friday at 5:30pm

Self Defense – Half day and full-day courses offered throughout the year and by request. Private lessons available as well.

Okay, have to say I’m totally eyeing the Kick Boxing, now if only I can get rid of some of my children’s evening sport lessons so I myself can enjoy myself. Maybe once the summer hits I will have more evening time for myself (okay, I’m laughing as I write this, but that’s the joy of children, right).
