Senior Carnival 3 – Sunday January 11th

Senior Carnival 3 is again planned to be a ‘mobile’ event on the South Coast on Sunday January 11th.

At this stage the venue for all water events has not been confirmed. SLSSA will be checking conditions leading into the week-end and will make a decision on location from this. All people will be notified as early as possible and hopefully by Thursday 8th January at the latest.

See attached circular for full information – C14090 Senior Carnival 3 information

Events for male and female U15 (including U14s with SRC wishing to compete), U17, U19, and Open to include: –

Individual – 2k run *, sprints *, flags *, swim, iron, ski, board

Team – taplin, board relay, ski relay, double ski

* PLEASE NOTE – for this carnival the beach events are to be held at Seacliff SLSC on Friday January 9th 5pm.

The carnival point score system will again be implemented. Our points tally, although increasing can still be bettered.  This can only be done with a good team of competitors – something we are improving on with every carnival!  This is our last official carnival before the State Titles campaign starts in March so let’s make it count!

If you are keen to compete can you please email Kerry Schulz at kschulz1000@gmail.com by Tuesday 7th January 5pm.

Please let Kerry know all of the events (individual and team, including relevant age groups) that you wish to compete in. Exact teams will be dependent on numbers and will be decided on the day.

Meals and presentations will be held back at the club from 5.30pm on Sunday.  Menu details to be confirmed closer to the date.

Merry christmas
