Here we are already into the 2nd month of 2012! Seems like a good time to bring you all up to speed with what’s happening in “Broadwater Land”
The car park at Royal Pines is currently being used for the Ladies Masters Golf & we do not have access for Sunday morning training therefore….
TRAINING THIS SUNDAY 5TH FEBRUARY WILL BE HELD AT CURRUMBIN – THE SAME LOCATION WE HAD OUR CHRISTMAS PARTY AT THE CURRUMBIN REGATTA. NORMAL SUNDAY TRAINING CONDITIONS APPLY – 7am START and we will be rewarding all paddlers with a SAUSAGE IN BREAD BBQ AFTERWARDS. Bring your thermos, extra drink, chair, dry clothes & anything else you would like to share…..
NEW REGATTA DATE FOR BROADWATER – LOCK IT IN !!!!
SUNDAY 5th FEBRUARY – We had to postpone our club regatta due to the heavy rain. Emerald Lakes Management have always been extremely supportive of our club but the condition of the grassed areas is far too boggy to allow some 300 people, tents & cars to use the area. The new date for the regatta is now SATURDAY 3rd MARCH which will enable all clubs to continue their participation at our regatta and for their State team members to attend the last 2 training sessions on 12th Feb & 4th March.
BROADWATER DRAGON LOGO STICKERS
Selling like hotcakes!!!! Get yours before it’s too late……$4 each or 3 for $10. Catch Di for your stickers……
RACE SHIRTS, DRESS SHIRTS, CLUB CAPS
Stocks are running low & we are running out of time if we need to order more to be here for the State Titles on 17 & 18 March. If you are paddling at the States & Nationals & need to buy your club uniform PLEASE contact Annie our uniform convenor. Don’t delay……
PADDLER INFORMATION
Please direct all paddling, training, membership, diet enquiries to a committee member or a coach.
NEW BOAT
We took delivery of the new club boat on Sunday 8 January 2012 – straight off the boat from China!!!! Thanks goes to John, Stuart, Stan , Nick & Andrew who left the coast in the wee hours of the morning to travel to Brisbane & assist 9 other clubs to unload their boats before returning with ours!!! Take a look at our next training session at Royal Pines. The boat is being prepared for use with marine grade screws, paints, lacquers & varnish. All timber on the boat is raw when it arrives, standard practice. Huge thanks again go out to John, Stuart & Stan who spend many hours every Saturday working on these boats so we can paddle. If anyone has a yard with access to power that can be used to work on the boats we would love to hear from you.
THE OLD RED BOAT
Has moved on to greener pastures. The red boat is now in Brisbane being restored for the use of the young adults who are members of TS Diamantina Cadet Unit. Our club was approached by the cadet unit asking if we had a boat we could donate. We are promised photos of the boat once finished….take a look at 3 of our paddlers Nick, Irene & Jayne who were with the club when it was bought in 2003.
MOST IMPORTANTLY…….
CHICKS AT THE FLICKS IS ON AGAIN……
I am chasing group details for next WEDNESDAY night 8th February at 6pm: wine…dine…and maybe win a prize or 6! For those that haven’t had the experience before we all meet in the foyer of Birch Carroll & Coyle Pacific Fair, sort out our payment, enjoy wine tasting & hot & cold canapés then at 7pm we head in to watch “THE VOW” Looks like a seriously chick flick but we love the boys to join us!!!! Last time we went there were 18 of us & we won 6 prizes!! YOU MUST CONFIRM YOU ARE ATTENDING WITH ME AS I NEED TO BOOK THE SEATS.
