Anyone noticed drop in amateur tournament attendance and increase in registration prices?

I started playing local tournaments in ON, Canada few years back and noticed the same events have gone from $80 + HST to $125 + HST. Also, noticed clublocker is tacking on an additional 4%.

On top of that I've noticed the registrations have also dropped on the few events I've been tracking by looking at the entrants on clublocker. These events used to have waitlists, now they are combining divisions due to insufficient players.

Even at my local club suddenly this past winter there were so many open time slots. Couple years ago you had to book a week in advance.

Any triathlon training clubs around here? Total beginner setting a goal for next year

Hey all, hoping to find some people to train with. I'm still building up to a 5k, so I'm very much at the start of this, but I've made competing in a triathlon my big goal by next year.

I'd love to train alongside some company rather than grinding it out solo. A bit of friendly competition and a way to track progress against other people would go a long way in keeping me motivated.

Are there any local clubs, or even just a few of you looking for training partners? Beginner-friendly is a big plus, but I'm happy to be the slowest person in the group if it means learning from people who've done this before.

First timer at Veld (33M), rave noob looking for friendly faces! (Friday GA)

Going to Veld this year (GA, Friday only), first festival AND first anything in the rave scene, so I genuinely have no idea what I'm doing lol. Not gonna lie, I'll probably be a bit of a deer in headlights at first, so having a familiar face or two around would go a long way.

If anyone's down to meet up or adopt a first-timer for a bit, I'd be into that! 😂 Even if we're all in the same boat and figuring it out together.

Full disclosure though >> I'm a pretty quiet, introverted guy, so don't expect hype energy from me. I'd mostly be happily vibing off to the side, soaking it all in. Just stepping outside my comfort zone and seeing what this world's about 🙏

Anyone wants to join a regular Tuesday evening board games hangout? (beginner-friendly)

WFH human here, tired of staring at the same four walls, so I'm thinking of putting together a weekly Tuesday evening board game hangout at Games on Tap (open to other venue suggestions, that's just the one I've played at before).

No experience needed, but ideally you can make it most weeks. Hoping this turns into a regular thing, not a one-off.

I'm a beginner myself. The vibe is casual games and friendly humans, not competitive play. Experienced folks welcome too if you're patient and like teaching.

Drop a comment or DM me and I'll set up the first one. 🎲
