Hi Everyone,
With just over 3 weeks to go the count down to the ball is on! We will hopefully run a boaterX on the morning of the ball. Entry cost is 5euro per paddler. All funds go into a kitty which is spent, in its entirety on gargle to be handed back to you as prizes.
The Events are as follows:
(1) Fun BoaterX- Teams of three paddlers (1 Oldie, 1 college type and 1 fresher) race from the eddy at the top of the run in to Jacksons to below Jacksons. This race is against the clock and teams will have to stop for a group photo in the eddie before Jacksons. The time stops after two paddlers run Jacksons, ie. the weakest paddler doesn't have to run the drop.
(2) Sport BoaterX- Groups of 4 will race head to head (open to everyone with a level 3 cert). One from each heat will progress to the next round. Hope to have a banner to touch at the finish.
(3) Inflatable race- the jacksons rodeo/beat down is being replaced this year with an inflatable race. Details to follow.
Race brief at 10.00 in Lynhams carpark, first race at 10:30am and off the water by 14:30 to start getting some pre-drinks in. Steve is organising instructors. Fancy dress encouraged. Spectators can get to Jacksons on river left by walking down to Bollards bridge and walking back up through the forest.
I'll put a list of teams here as you sign up.
