The first race in the PNSW Marathon 10 Series will be held on the Molonglo River in Canberra on Saturday 27th March.
Entries for this race will be taken on-line by PNSW, so as to avoid the problem of a huge line-up for the first race, as happened last year.
Race details will be posted on the PNSW web-site.
The race course is mainly on the Molonglo River, with the start/finish line at our normal place at Molonglo Reach, off Morshead Drive, Campbell, ACT. The course will be of 2, 3 or 4 laps of 5 km, with the downstream turn going a short distance into East Basin of Lake Burley Griffin and the upstream turn occuring just before the second bridge. The centre-line of the river will be buoyed to keep boat traffic separated, with two or three buoys at each end turn. A portage will be available at the start/finish area.
The BGCC recreational paddle at Nelligen/Bateman's Bay on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th February was enjoyed by a small group of club paddlers.
White Water
We are hoping to do some beginner level white water on Sunday 14th March, either at Childowla (near Bookham), or on the Tumut River.
Please register your interest in either of these events as we will need to organise boats.
Ocean Ski at Merimbula
If you have a ski of sorts (doesn't have to be an Epic) why not join Scott and Tom (and others) at Merimbula for a weekend of surf. Saturday 20th & Sunday 21st March. Possibility of cheap accommodation depending on numbers.

Blue-Green Algae in Recreational Water- Management Strategy
The newly released strategy has been added to our 'News' section on our website.
Please read through the document, and take note of the risks and precautions, however the bottom line is: 'Waters will remain open for secondary contact users (use), however precautions are urged to limit the health risks associated with blue-green algae'
Please note that to take part in our events, you need to be a registered member of both Paddle NSW and BGCC. See the "Membership" section on the left hand menu - and join us via our on-line facilities.
