In the interests of revitalising the LOC Slalom on Sunday the 11th of Jan - the organisers and WWA have made some changes.
1/ There will be a BBQ Breakfast (approx $6) in the park North of the tavern starting at 9am on Sunday.
2/ There will be Stand up Paddle boards for all to try and a Kids "Getting into windsurfing" session - Free until around 11am
3/ The entry fee for the slalom has been dropped for this year - Yes - NO ENTRY FEE - but there will still be some small prizes for participation and winners.
(Note - if you have already entered you will be reimbursed)
4/ The emphasis of the day will be to have some fun - There will still be an overall winner decided for the perpetual trophy but we want more people to get amongst it so...
5/ The new format will still use on-water/timed starts and downwind slalom sailing on the protected water inside the reef but will combine:
A fun team points event
Team relay races
A casual GPS speed comp based on your own personal best 2 sec Max. (BYO GPS please - limited loan GPS units available to try/use)
Individual results - with a Grand final
6/ We'll be up and running as soon as the breeze fills in and will be aiming to be done by early afternoon (including presentations) to allow everyone to get home at a reasonable hour - short and sweet.....
7/ The pub will have a jazz band playing to liven up the afternoon if you're not in a hurry to get home.
Please support this initiative as we've tried to come up with something that will be fun, clear out a fuzzy head, reward participation and encourage you to get have a go at slalom - tell a mate and be a part of it.
heh heh.
that makes two extras in. I had planned on hanging around for the event, now I have that extra bit of incentive to join WWA and enter the Classic. First time too.
With everyone working on their Alpha's maybe it's time we all gave it a go again?
