The Southold Town Recreation Department’s fall brochure is available to the public starting today.  It will be an insert in The Suffolk Times and will also be available at all local libraries, town hall, and the recreation center. Additionally, it will be posted on its website.

Registration starts on Tuesday, August 18 for residents and on Tuesday, August 25 for non-residents. Registration for all programs and activities is either by mail or in-person.  Early registrations will not be processed until 4:00 p.m. on the first day of registration.  Office hours are from 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.  Certain programs tend to fill up quickly, so if you can come down to the recreation center in person, this would greatly enhance your chances of securing a spot in the program you would like to attend.  Telephone registrations will not be accepted.  Payment (cash, check, Visa or Master Card) is required at time of registration.
