Fantastic effort last weekend for the Middleton carnival for the U19s and the Mature men who rowed in reserve grade.  The U19s came 2nd in their division and the Mature Men held their own gaining a lot of experience.  Great Effort For Steve Harris for his Middleton big surf debut.

I have your ASRL Hi Vis Vest. I will hand them out at each training session.

Remember next carnival 3rd Jan ASRLSA Carnival Short Course Series #3, venue to be advised. Expect all teams to be racing so put it in your diaries now.
