Great turn out for the carnival at Southport with six team. There was not much surf with an offshore breeze giving the competitors a hard row out and back. Thanks To Neil for Jetski Cover and Dean for looking after the many Kids on the beach. Special mention to the 2nd Reserve ladies team with their first Carnival as a team – well done ladies.
Results were:
U19 Mens – 2nd
U23s Women – equal 3rd
Reserve JACCOs – 2nd in the final, 1st for the 3 rounds
Reserve TROGs – TBA
Reserve Women Angry Birds – equal 4th
Reserve Women 2nd team – 6th
Disappointed with the turn out for Packing and cleaning the equipment after the events – no junior teams at either.
Remember the next carnival is state selection 17 Jan, location TBA. Will be for the U19s and U23s.
The New Boat Naming ceremony will take place on the 6th Feb in conjunction with the presentation for the iron person.

Can I please have all competitor vest sizes by CoB Wednesday please? S,M,L or XL?
Next Carnival is on the midcoast Sunday 13th December-venue to be advised Wednesday before. This is the same day as the junior carnival so I think it will just be the U19M and U23W. any other crews that are interested please let me know.
