Hi there, I hope you are enjoying your paddling. A short update this month.
Annual General Meeting
Thank you to everyone who attended, in person or via zoom, provided proxy votes and apologies. As there were no other nominations for committee positions, all members were re-instated into their positions as follows:
Delia West, president
Paul Shipton, secretary
Doug Brennan, treasurer
Tim Kreis, committee member
Lachlan Kent, committee member
Matt Ramke-Meyer, committee member (media)
Christmas Party
Our Christmas get together will held at the club house on 4 December.
Tim’s Time Trial Training
Due to competing priorities, Tim’s Time Trial Training has been postponed.
Paddle Qld Awards
This year we nominated the following people for the PQ awards:
Junior Paddler of the Year: Kate Regan
Volunteer of the Year: Bob Hamblet
Coach of the Year: Jason Keating
Photo of the Year: Paul Shipton
Club of the Year: Sunshine Coast Paddlesports Club
While we feel all our nominations were deserving to win, our award this year was for the photo of the year. Credited to Paul Shipton but taken by his wife Csilla Faller, the shot captured Rod Taylor and Don MacDonald during the marathon portage in February at Lake Kawana. It encapsulates the team work needed for success in a K2 with paddlers in exact timing. A copy of the photo is attached along with a photo of Kate Regan at the sprint event.
As usual please feel free to contact any committee member if you have feedback or send it via email to sunshinecoastpaddlesportsclub@gmail.com
regards, Delia & the committee
