The first round of the QLD Champs kicked off with a bang as we masnaged to have some type of new record for flips in one day. There were 6 flips punching through

5ft waves and alot were doubling up.The wind was a good 15knots s-sw which

made boats twist in the air. 2 new B graders,white one and J-Lij had a go and did

really well concidering it was there first time racing. The crowd really enjoyed the

racing as a big cheer went out as Fat Cat fliped on his last lap and won the flipper award.Cry

Thanks to Salt SLSC for taking all the boat and gear up and down the beach and

also suppling first aid.

Congratulations goes to:-

1st place Tonys Total Tree Care

 2nd Hammer Time

3rd Fat Cat

4th Gabba Sports

5th Head Case

6th H2Go

7th The Ducks Nuts

ELECTIONS FOR THE POSITIONS OF BRANCH CHAIRMAN & BRANCH SECRETARY

Due to personal reasons I have resigned from the position of Branch Chairman.  I would like to take this opportunity to ask for interested members to nominate for the positions of Chairman and Secretary. 

These positions will be decided by vote at the next General Meeting to be held at the Victoria Point Tavern, Colburn Avenue, Victoria Point at 6.30pm on Tuesday, 14th April 2009.  This is your opportunity to have a say, so please come along and vote for your new committee.

I would like to thank all those who assisted in the creation of this Branch approximately two years ago.  It was tough getting it up and running but we got there in the end, so thanks for all your help.  I will still be involved and will no doubt see you all on the beach.

No Racing - 29 March
The News - National Thundercat Racing News
Written by John Kerrisk   
Sunday, 29 March 2009

After our Race Director spoke with the Life Guard appointed by the Council on Saturday afternoon who advised against racing due to the lack of beach, we were left with no decision but to cancel the event.  We apologise for those of you who made arrangements in advance, but unfortunately we cannot go against their call.  Clause 5 of the Conditions of Racing provided by the Gold Coast City Council states "You are required to abide by any direction issued by the Lifeguard Superintendent for the area".  Our decision is not made lightly and if could be avoided, would be.

If you look on the surf cam pics taken during the morning you will see there was no way we could have held an event in these conditions ie. no beach.  We leave our decision until Saturday afternoon to make a call.  Sometimes conditions can change where winds are not pushing water further up the beach but yesterday wasn't the case.  We don't have a crystal ball.  It is unfortunate, but we'll attempt to obtain a permit to replace this event.

 You may suggest that "don't ask the lifeguard" but at the end of the day, ignorance is not an excuse.
