Bula Everyone,

The impromptu regatta held in fairly flat waters was a quiet success for the organisers.

The 4 lane race course saw paddlers from 3 respective clubs battle it out on the waters to claim victories in V1 races, 250 metres and the 1500 metres races.

The regatta gave paddlers a chance to showcase their skills and track their own progress for race times. With the Fiji International to be held in 2 weeks time, this was exactly what all th...

Subject: Re: 20th of March Regatta-Nadi

Hi everyone,

This weekends regatta has been CANCELLED. Yesterday i sent out an email with the race draws attached. I had asked clubs to confirm their club entries.

And as a result we have lost out on having one more regatta before the upcoming 'Waitui International!'

In future it...

Attached is the race draws. Please confirm your clubs entries. Please approve with your club members and send me back changes in red. These changes must be sent through by 5pm tomorrow aft...
