Hi there, I hope you are enjoying your paddling. A short update this month.

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
