A big thanks to all you Paddlers out there who supported us, and supported each over the 2010/2011 Paddling Season.
Sharlene and I really enjoyed putting the events on for you all, and we always make an effort to cater for the ever changing needs of you all, as Paddlers.
The Welly Paddlers tee shirts went really well, we have 20 of them out there now and there will be more next Season, the idea being to order one at a race and get the shirt at the next race, saves postage and running around to pick up and drop them off. Thanks to CSTM for the really good deal on the shirts I'm sure they will be around $30 next Season and not the $25 we paid for them.
I managed to pick up a Ute for carting craft around. My Joinery skills have come out of retirement for a few weeks to kit the ute out and I've cut the wide tray down, added the "Woody" sides and racked it up to cart 8 craft around the Country..........I suppose you can call it the "Wellywoody"..............not !
The idea is to assist us paddlers to travel away to races................... and to pick up craft from the Ferry for the South Islanders, who in the future may attend the Welly Paddlers races.
For some races further North, and down South book your boat in for cartage and then fly to the event...................or do a vehicle share and travel in another vehicle.
As events come up that we're travelling to................... we'll let you know about the available carting space.
I've attached a photo of the current fleet just to let people know that this is it!.................Sharlene doesn't need any more boats littering the section.....................and that I actually have a smaller fleet than Les Morris.................he has about 15 boats................ and a set of golf clubs (-: He's a Legend.
Don't forget to check the website regulary for updates on Events and use the website links to get to other sites for their events also.
We will keep updating the website every two weeks throughout May, June and July when many may decide to stay off the water and hibernate for a bit.
We hope that you all enjoy flicking through the Welly Paddlers site and if anyone has any news on other events let us know and we'll add them to our site immediately.
Enjoy the break and see you all next Season if not before.
kindest regards,
Chester and Sharlene.
