Maroochy River Race:  A big thank you to those who’ve already volunteered – your support is greatly appreciated. We still need a few more helping hands for various roles:

  • Registration Table (2 Volunteers): We require assistance from 7-9am at Dunethin Rock Scout Hall. Your primary task will be to check off participants as they collect their designated bags.
  • Parking Attendant: If you’re available from 7am to 9am, your role will be to ensure parking at Dunethin Rock Scout Grounds is organised efficiently.
  • Boat Scrutineers (2 Volunteers): We need individuals to perform flotation checks at both Dunethin Rock Pontoon and Dunethin Rock Boat Ramp (300m down from Scout Hall).
  • Finish Line Officials (2 Volunteers): We’re looking for backup support for the Webscorer process. Your task will involve manually recording numbers and times as craft cross the finish line.

If you can lend a hand or need more information, please feel free to message me at 0498632265 or email us at sunshinecoastpaddlesportsclub@gmail.com

Parking at Fishermans Road:  A heads-up regarding parking around the club area – Council parking officers will be active in ensuring compliance. To avoid a potential $600 infringement notice, please use designated parking spaces rather than parking on grass or gravel when spots are available.
