OK everyone thanks for confirming your participation. The one thing that can change our plans is this tropical storm down south - it is due by some forecasts to go by our area Thursday, Friday or Saturday. Right now the forecasters are saying it will be offshore a couple hundred miles. But IF there is a big storm swell it could postpone the event for safety reasons. Sachuest Point juts out into the open Atlantic and big waves have swept people off the rocks there - it will be Fish & Wildlife"s call with my guidance.
Right now everthing is a go but stay tuned and send me some contact info in case you can't get to this website on Friday.

Notaro: If you're coming from the North take 138 towards Newport take left onto 138A towards beaches, take left at light onto Valley Road (214) and another left another left at light onto Purgatory Road, follow Purgatory Road to Sachuest Point Road (Second Beach will be on your right) at the end of Sachuest Point Road (dead end) is the wildlife refuge.

Hope and looking forward to meeting you all there.

just a suggestion, but if the heave is large and there is ample transportation, 3rd beach is very protected from a storm surge and there are quite often a few fish along the shores. Infact thats where i learned to surfcast when i was a wee lad

Nebe,
That is the area where we're planning the clinic - I've contacted Sharon Ware the refuge director and were monitoring the storm. If the swell is too big to safely fish we have a backup plan - that is just to run a casting and hands on clinic at the refuge center, show the kids how to tie rigs, cast some tennis balls on the lawn, etc.
The clinic is part of the overall open house at the refuge - there are many other events planned there on Saturday including guided tours, nature booths, etc.
I'll let everyone know the status on Friday afternoon.
