HAWKESBURY CLASSIC FAMILIARISATION PADDLES This year we have some changes to the Series, some experimental races, new incentives for elite paddlers, encouragement for juniors and novices and hopefully improved levels Rod Totten 4577 5526 Fred Walshaw 4577 3483 of competition for all paddlers. 1 Sat 3 July 9am Brooklyn - Spencer - Brooklyn 28km 2 Sat 31 July 12pm Windsor to Sackville 32km We have a completely new executive including myself as Chairman, Elizabeth van Reece 3 Sat 14 Aug 11am Sackville to Wisemans Ferry 35km as Secretary and Julie Stanton as Treasurer, and along with all the club delegates we hope 4 Sat 2 Oct 1pm Wisemans Ferry to Spencer 30km to present an excellent racing season for everyone to enjoy. 5 Sat 23 Oct 4.30pm Sackville Ferry to Windsor 32km (Night paddle) Some controversial issues such as class changes have unfortunately had to be shelved for this year, but we have decided to experiment with Divisional Racing which is very strong HAWKESBURY CLASSIC TRAINING SEMINAR in Victoria & Queensland. Divisional Racing virtually eliminates boat class and age distinctions, with paddlers being graded according to their times (speed), regardless of Joan Morison 9528 7141 boat type. This means that slow K1 paddlers could be competing with fast recreational Sat 11 Sept 9.30am to 2.30pm Book early boats, and is sure to provide some upsets and close, exciting finishes! The basic rules are printed further in the booklet. MARATHON CANOE & OTHERS The Series pointscores will be calculated over just 8 races this year, with the 4 Divisional Mar 6-7 Burley Griffin Bash Helen Tongway 6254 7162 Races being a separate “mini-series”. Host clubs were determined by a “raffle” type Mar 20-21 Hay City Festival Bernie Craggs 6993 4359 draw, with the clubs missing out getting the opportunity to host a Divisional Race. We Apr 9-12 Australian Marathon Championships, Perth Australian Canoeing 9552 4500 hope that everyone will support the Divisional Races, not only to help make them a Sept 18 Myall Classic Elizabeth Van Reece 6554 1612 success, but to support the clubs which are hosting them. The Canberra race in particular Oct Bay to Bondi Peter Ferguson 9388 4200 will be a real challenge as it is in mid-winter! Oct 10 John McLean Challenge Joe Proietto 4735 4236 Oct 16 Krait Crosslands-Patonga-Gosford Cruise Graham Brown 4385 5511 Also this year, there will be cash prizes in selected races for K1 paddlers as incentive to Oct 30-31 Hawkesbury Canoe Classic Richard Barnes 8907 9000 attract elite paddlers back to the sport, and the “K” classes will get the first starts. Starts Nov 13-14 Wagga Weekend Nigel Phillips 6925 3997 generally will be quicker, with shorter delays between the starts, and the presentations Nov 27-28 24 Hour Relay Helen Tongway 6254 7162 will also be streamlined, being limited to placegetters in constituted classes only. Dec 5 Twenty Beaches Ocean Classic Gaye Hatfield 9971 8389 Dec 26-31 Red Cross Murray Marathon Amanda Warrick (03) 9685 9839 The State Championships will be the culmination of the Series races, and will be something to really work hard towards. We hope to put together a very strong NSW CANOE ADVENTURE RACING Marathon Team at the end of this year in order to cut the Victorians and Queenslanders down a notch or two!! June 12-14 Geoquest 48hr Adventure Race Craig Bycroft 6255 8152 July Clarencetown Tri-Adventure Alan Tweedy 4992 2082 There are also quite a few “other” races starting to appear on the calendar throughout the Aug 7-20 Geoquest XPD Craig Bycroft 6255 8152 year. Please try to attend at least some of them, especially the regional races. “Weekend Sept 12 Gloucester Mountain Man Triathlon Peter Markey 6558 2174 @ Bernie’s” in March at Hay deserves our support due to the dedication of Bernie Craggs Oct 2-3 Paddle Polaris training and Half Event Huw Kingston [email protected] & Lizzie van Reece in travelling from Hay and Forster to support the Winter Series. Dec 4-5 Paddle Polaris Huw Kingston [email protected] I’d like to thank in advance all those people involved in organising and hosting the races at the Club level. A lot of time and effort goes into making a race day successful, and the WAGGA WEEKEND Nov 13th & 14th more successful the day, the less the volunteers are noticed! Thanks also to the club delegates who form the Marathon Committee and have the courage and dedication to The Murrumbidgee at Wagga is deep with a moderate flow and some make the decisions to keep our sport growing and developing. Keep up the great work, swirls providing fast and challenging race conditions. A walking track and I look forward to enjoying a great year together on the water. follows the riverbank from Wagga Beach to historic Hampden Bridge, providing great vantage spots for more energetic spectators along the way.
