Photo: Heading for swim start at Lake Alexander yesterday
Hi All,
We had a fantastic turnout for our event at Lake Alexander yesterday. Many were doing their first club race and the enthusiasm to meet the challenge was very evident. Well done to all, especially those having three times the fun for the very first time.
Our thanks to RD John Thyne for his efforts yesterday. As always our volunteer RD and those on roster (as well as those who just jumped in to help where needed) were much appreciated by all the competitors. John & a few stayers were still packing up, clearing rubbish, collecting signs and getting the trailer back into the shed while many of you were heading for home!
Our junior season is rapidly approaching. See the attached flyer for information on next Sunday's junior Come and Try. It's open to all school age kids and is a great opportunity for them to "try". Please pass the info on to your friends with youngster who may be interested.

Safe Training,
Cheers,
