If you are thinking of running a fundraiser at this years Hoe Tonga Regional Sprint Championships you are first required to let us know.
We welcome clubs to raise funds for their teams however to ensure that all food that is sold is up to council health standards and to ensure that 5 sausage sizzles are not running at the same time.

Once again welcome to the team Jillian.
A reminder that next Saturday (Oct 19th) Paul Roozendaal will be running a Performance Sprints steering workshop focused on turns.
Paul has advised that those who have had full crews attend the workshop, tend to get the most out of the session. Last week Paul ran a clinic in Paeroa and here is what they had to say;
“Paul came and did a steering clinic in Paeroa. He is a wealth of knowledge and I highly recommend. Paul was exceptionally patient with me as a novice steerer. He explained each paddlers role in the Waka while turning and how to do so in an efficient manner. Thanks Paul. I definitely feel more confident going into Nationals”
If you have not registered yet and interested in coming along email hoetonga@gmail.com with your name and phone number. It is $40 per person, runs from 9am-12pm and will be hosted at the PCKC club rooms. Email now for more information.
