Of course, additional Donations would be gladly accepted afterwards. Shore members may participate by making donations as above.
Card pick up for shore members will be various places on the grounds of the Lord reading Yacht Club that will be well indicated. Boating members will be given instructions to the ‘pick-up’ points out on the lake that will be fairly close to the club. This race is NOT about speed, but whoever manages to pick up the best poker hand. At each pick up point, the player will be handed a sealed envelope. If the player has made additional donations, they will be handed sealed envelopes to match the number of hands allowed to be played. Each sealed envelope contains 1 playing card. All envelopes must remain sealed until the race is finished.
The sealed envelopes must be brought to the deck and handed over to our event coordinator, Daniel Arsenault. Dan will open the envelopes and mark the name of the player and boat name on the official score board and place the hand on the score board. For shore members: There will be pick up points indicated on the grounds of the LRYC club. At each check point a player will be handed a sealed envelope containing 1 player card. The envelopes must remain sealed, after all 5 cards are picked up, the player will bring their sealed envelopes to our Event coordinator, Daniel Arsenault. Dan will un-seal the envelopes, mark the players name and place the poker hand on the official score board.
The day of the Poker run first steps: Participating boaters and shore members will be asked to gather on the lawn of the LRYC at 12:30 PM. At precisely 1:00 PM all participants will have a final briefing of the rules of the poker run. Departure for boating participants from the harbour will be managed by The Harbour Master, Mark Edwards. Departure will be staggered to avoid any incidents. Remember, this is NOT about speed, but who gets the best poker hand. The harbour master will hand the boat team the map of pick-up points on the lake after the 1:00 PM briefing and final check in of all players. There will be a member of the executive committee at each of the spots indicated. Players will be checked into the check point and handed their sealed envelopes. All stops must be completed in order to collect the 5-card poker hand. Additional Sealed envelopes will be given if the player has made extra donations.
BOATERS: ONCE YOU HAVE PICKED up all your sealed envelopes, return to the harbour. Confirm your intention to return to the harbour by calling in your boat to radio 68 (or calling cell phone number of Mark Edwards) and request permission to return to the Harbour. The harbour master will confirm your return and depending on boater traffic, provide you with a time for arrival.
Our Commodore, Don Wagner will be standing at the T section at the end of Center Main dock, indicated by the COMMODORE FLAG. Please navigate your boat safely near the T section. All members on the boat shall SALUTE the commodore and honk your horn, and safely return to your slip. Friendly reminder: As always Captains are responsible for the safety of their vessels and crew.
Once your boat has been secured in your slip, bring your sealed envelopes to the Deck for verification by Daniel Arsenault. Once you have checked in you may return to your boat and prepare your boat for illumination night ceremony (decorating your boat with as many lights/patio lanterns or other festive lighting). Shore Members: Once you have collected all your sealed envelopes, bring them to the deck for verification by Daniel Arsenault.
