RACE ACROSS THE POND - 20TH AUGUST
Every season we like to put on a little social shindig for the local scene from Poseidon, and it wouldn't be summer here without a good BBQ on the beach. This year though we've decided to ramp things up a little, introduce a competition to the day and add some kite racing too.
Keeping things core, all about fun and participation, this is an all levels welcome, fun focused slalom day tournament pitting all abilities against each other for a light-hearted healthy competition which will crown a Race Across The Pond winner.
It's sure to create plenty of stories to laugh about with a beer and a burger after.
On the beach we'll have the coals roaring and food sizzling for a good feed, plenty of new gear to check out and a few tech talks lined up in case the wind doesn't play ball.
