2009 Development Xmas outing |
|
|
|
|
This year we had a welcome surprise from Sandra van Niekerk, mother of our top junior lady paddler Melanie, who announced that Old Mutual would sponsor our development team with a trip to Grand West for ice skating and a meal at the Spur! Sandra and 4 staff from Old Mutual came along to assist Lisa and Richard with the afternoons activities For all of them this was their first time on the ice but most of the boys had lots of practice with inline skate and were soon skating rings around the rest of us. The girls took a more cautious approach and clung to the rails but by the end of the session were skating across the middle of the rink. After 2hrs of skating everyone had worked up an appetite so we moved off to the Spur. Here they soon found the games room where they made the most of the time in between courses. After desert they had a team photo and said their thanks to Sandra and Old Mutual. A tiered but happy bunch of kids were dropped off at Du Noon. |

The latest junior flat water sprints were held at Milnerton Canoe Club. The event started with the Guppies while the tide was rising to be ready for the U/14 and up with their under stern rudders. The club lawn and bank was full of spectator Mom's and Dad's cheering everyone home. The event started at 2pm with a low but incoming tide which is never ideal. As the events ticked off the water level rose to a full level.  |
