Henk’s Summer Comp is Coming
The Henk’s Summer Comp is back late-October. Kaleen and Giralang are scheduled for longer maintenance periods to give them much needed TLC after the beating they have received this winter. This has required tweaking of the usual format and timing of the Summer Comp along with its capacity. Once these factors have been managed nominations will hopefully be open late August or early September. Thank you for your patience.
