Clarence 100<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another group of club members (Nicky Donaldson, Ray Robinson, Graeme Hudson and Delia West) competed in the Clarence 100 race.  The mighty Clarence River is in northern NSW.  The three day race starts at Copmanhurst and ends at Grafton on the first day; day two is from Grafton to Maclean; and day three is from Maclean to Yamba.  The team won the four person mixed relay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the ground crew (Steve McLay and Renae Robinson) for all the coffee, snakes, paddle carrying etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Club Logo Printing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will do a print run of the club logo on your chosen apparel.  A box will be set up in front of the kitchen bench in the club house.  Please name your items and place them in the box.  The price is unknown at this stage but is estimated to be between $10 – $15 per item.  Maroochy River shirts are also available for purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

QAS Scholarship Coach<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The club congratulates Sharlene Kelly, the newly appointed Queensland Academy of Sport Scholarship Coach for the Sunshine Coast.  Club coaches met with Sharlene to discuss her role and provide an overview of our programs.  We look forward to working with Sharlene to ensure club paddlers reach their full potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medical Information Collection \u2013 Event Registration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paddle Australia has recently introduced a policy and form to collect medical information relevant to pre-existing health conditions when participating in PA sanctioned events.  This is a risk management strategy to the safety of all event participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As individuals you are responsible to ensure that: you take a ventolin puffer with you (in the boat) when training; wearing a life vest if your condition warrants it; always paddle with a buddy; and tell your coach if you have any concerns that may impact on your ability to participate in the session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solo Paddling<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last month we investigated the options for solo paddlers ensuring they are safe and some one is alerted if they fail to return.  Advice from other clubs was to use one of the apps available that track you and send an alert if movement stops for more that an predetermined time.  The recommendation is SafeTrx the official app used by the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard and Marine Rescue Qld.  See https:\/\/coastguard.com.au\/safetrx\/<\/a> for details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
