Hey everyone!

It was great to see so many new faces and returning members at Climbing Day this past weekend. We've got some exciting announcements for you all about what this semester is gonna look like for the club. Also, if you haven't yet, please join our discord where we make a lot of smaller announcements and coordinate climbing together.

Memberships:

We're happy to announce that this semester we are able to offer $42 CRG memberships and $15 day passes including rentals to active members (that's $33 and $15 off the normal student prices!). As a reminder, you are an active member if you have both paid this semester's dues and attend one practice each month*. These discounts will begin in March and anyone who has satisfied their active member requirements by March 1st will receive the discount. This means you need to pay dues and attend at least one practice this month to get the most out of the discount.

*If you have a regularly scheduled conflict with our practices but you still want to be an active member, please contact Henry (either on discord or using the email below).
 

Dues:

Dues this semester will be $25 and can be paid via Venmo* to @Joseph-Lugten (make sure you get the spelling right). Note that paying dues literally saves you money after just one month of CRG membership or two day passes!

*If Venmo doesn't work for you, you can contact Joe and pay with cash

January CRG Refunds:

We recognize that, due to the sudden announcement of the remote learning period at the beginning of the semester, many of you did not have an opportunity to freeze your January CRG memberships before the start of the month. As a result, you may have ended up paying for a month of membership that you didn't use. If this was the case for you (and you did not climb at CRG at all in January) please contact jason@centralrockgym.com and let him know your situation and that you are a club member, and you may be able to get a refund for the month of January.

Weekend Practices:

Our weekend practices will be starting up again this weekend and will be happening every Sunday from 12:10-1:15 pm. For those of you who are new to the club, at these practices we usually do a few drills, but they are mostly just an opportunity for a large group of our members to hang out and climb together. If you don't have a way of getting to CRG yourselves, the orange line's Monroe & Alexander stop is right next to the gym. If that doesn't work for you, feel free to send a message in our discord to see if anyone driving to practice has space.

Climbing Team:

For those of you who don't know, our climbing team meets for an additional practice every Tuesday from 7-8:30 pm. These practices have a strong focus on improvement and are led by a coach from CRG. For those of you who are on (or would like to join) our climbing team, it will now only cost an extra $25 a month. If you are interested in joining or just want more information about it please contact Abbey.
