Shane Ross who has run the Tuesday Greta Point Twilight kayak Series in Wellington for the last 10 years has asked us if we'd like to be the new Guardians of the series from this Year.This Series has been running in Wellington since the late 80's with Organisers being Mark Watson, Keryn and Dave (DJ) Jerram, John Cussins, then Jill and Shane Ross.
Shane will continue to run some of his other events http://www.betterthantv.co.nz/ but will now be able to free up some time for everyone in the family to participate a range of events that they'd all like to do.
We've said yes, as I'd previously made the offer to him a few months back as I could see he had been flat out over the past year with this, his other Events and Family committments.
So from Tuesday October 5 2010 through to December 21 we'll be running pretty much the same format as Shane had, having a short break for Christmas then carrying on with the second half of the Series from Jan 11 through to March 29, 2011.
The Series will revert back to the old start times......... of registration at 5.30pm.............. race start at 6pm.
The reasoning for this is start early, finish early..............and so that your dinner is not sitting in the letterbox when you get home.............. Family time and everything!
All races will start at Greta Point due to better parking facilties and shelter in a Northerly, and in a Southerly the course will head across to the sheltered shoreline of Cobham Drive via the Evans Bay Marina breakwater. Of course when conditions permit we'll be going around the fountain on Oriental Parade and back.
