A big thank you to everyone who volunteered last weekend at the National Championships. There were so many people who put up their hands, and considering the forecast, it was a mighty effort. From those out battling the winds on Sunday, to those being entertained in the bowl (thanks to our announcers), it made for a well run race for the athletes.
Thank you for giving up your time to help,
Graeme on behalf of the Race Committee
