Your teamwork and enthusiasm made the job much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Club facilities update<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The remodeling for our additional change rooms, showers, and toilets will commence at the end of August, after the Maroochy River Race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Did you know our club is not connected to the sewer system? We rely on a holding tank which is pumped out monthly, costing around $300 each time. Recently, we\u2019ve needed two pump-outs per month. Please help us keep costs down by limiting unnecessarily long showers \u2013 all waste water, not just toilet water, goes into this tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cleaning roster<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you to Helen Garsden for taking on the role of organising the cleaning roster. Please add your name to the roster posted on the side of the fridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A reminder about memberships<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thankfully, we don\u2019t need to chase membership renewals \u2013 Paddle Australia sends reminders directly to members. If you haven\u2019t renewed yet, please log in to your Paddle Australia account to pay your fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Volunteers make it happen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our club runs entirely on volunteer support, and every helping hand makes a difference. Whether it\u2019s helping at events, cleaning, or assisting with projects, your contribution is truly valued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Have your say<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your ideas, concerns, and suggestions are always welcome. Contact us anytime via phone, email, or our Facebook page. We\u2019d also love to share your paddling stories, race reports, and photos in future newsletters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you for your ongoing support and dedication. Together, we\u2019ll continue to thrive on and off the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regards, Delia West, President<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oliver Sweetman, Treasurer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paul Shipton, Secretary<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nicky Donaldson, Head Coach<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Matt Ramke-Meyer, Media<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">General Committee Members: Deb Wright, Tim Kreis and Justin Wright<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to our new members \u2013 and hello to our new shed!
