Margaret sent Chris and I an email asking if we would like to help co-ordinate the fun event component of the last race of the Winter Series. I think that she was planning on getting together with some of the regulars to brainstorm fun events, but she ran out of time - and is now overseas. I told her that I would `call the group together' and we would come up with some ideas and volunteers to help on the day.
Which is what the 19th Sept get-together at Harbour View in Simonstown is all about.
Margaret has asked for some creative and organizational input to add a fun dimension to the `End of the Winter Series Race Day' on Sunday 14th October.
Put on your thinking caps and lets get together after the Wednesday paddle on 19 September. I have arranged for a big table for paddlers and supporters at Harbour View in Simonstown. In view of the fact that some of us were used to a Wednesday Special, the owner has offered to provide a couple of under R40 meal options. Come with your ideas, and lets thrash out a plan of paddle action. Some possibilities include:
· a `technical' display with Eskimo rolling and assisted and unassisted kayak re-entries. (What about assisted "fall outs"? – directed at that Derek Golden Girl who always wins)
· Margaret Smooth as Silk suggested a sprint course with tight corners between buoys. Or an obstacle course of sorts.
· Mark Lion Lager Webb is keen to challenge other Kayakers to a backward race!! (unfair - he paddles like that anyway - ED);
· Other suggestions include “how many people on a kayak?!!”
Do you get the idea? Great! We look forward to your input on Wednesday19th. If you can't make the midweek paddle, then join us afterwards at Harbour View from about 19:00hrs." We don't have to book, but I would like to give John the restaurateur some idea of how many of us will be there. So please contact me.
All the best,
Kim Kruyshaar and Chris Gryshaar (written posted and edited by Paul Geenhaar)
