Rob Fry Race – a great event: thanks
The race was a great success – 79 registrations and 71 finished, so a good increase on recent years. We received lots of positive feedback about the running of this year’s race, so many thanks to all those who contributed to the make the day great and our many sponsors, and especially Lee Edwards for coordinating the race again. The report and results can be view here.

Please consider going to these two races upstream on the Swan:
- John Sims race (11.5km) at Ascot on 1st May (details here);
- Paddle Challenge (18km – good training for the Avon) at Hinds Reserve Bayswater on 15th May (details here).
Unite on the Swan
It was wonderful to see lots of Swan members at the big raft up on Perth Water. Although the world record was not broken we all had a good paddle. There is a great video record of the event here.
Mosman Park Fair
We again setup a store at this event and had lots of visitors enquiring about the Club. Many thanks to those who came and helped, especially Marion who lasted all afternoon.
