With 2021 now well and truly underway, there has been a lot happening in the paddling world!
Queensland State Sprint and Marathon Titles 6 & 7 February, Lake Kawana
Congratulations to all club members who competed. Whether or not you made the podium is not as important has how you handled the competition. See our facebook page for photos from the event.
However, approximately 10 members were selected in the state team with most accepting the nomination.
A special thank you to our volunteers who assisted in the running of events. Your assistance was invaluable in making the event a success.
Due to COVID the national marathon titles have been cancelled, the national sprint titles have been postponed to May.
Pacific Coast Paddle Series and Virtual Series

Jamo Porter Coaching Session
Please advise us if you are interested in some stroke correction with Jamo Porter. Cost is $25.
Grant Applications
Two applications have been submitted. One to council to replace our worn out, rusty roller doors and one to the Australia Government for junior equipment.
Floor Scarifying
After Easter the floor in the club house will be treated to provide protection from slipping and tripping. There will be limited access to the club house while this occurs. So keep an eye out for the email advising the dates.
Electrical Work
Westaway Electrical were engaged to add some power points in the club house at the back; and to move the fluorescent tubes in the road side section that were in danger of being hit with a boat while removing or storing craft. The old fluro tubes have been replaced with LED lights.
Council Statutory Regulations
As part of the electrical work, Westaway conducted our compulsory RCD testing to enable us to meet our statutory regulation report to the Sunshine Coast Regional Council. Elements of the statutory compliance include fire safety, electrical safety, back flow prevention and fall prevention.
On Fence Advertising
Please contact the committee if you are interested in adverting on our fencing.
Thanks
