NOTES

 

1. Club Responsibilities for arenas - TBA at managers meeting                             -

 

2. Nip Nips mini carnival will be run by Opunake lifeguards, starting 11am, meet on grass in front of clubhouse

 

3. High tide expected to take up much of the beach, we hope sprint track will be not affected, however we expect to not be able to set up flag pits till approx. 11am. If this is the case, will be all hands on deck for set up (great opportunity to teach parents how to do it!)

If we can get them set up early, U10s, U9s & U8s will go directly to flag pits after sprints.

 

4. Opportunity for anyone interested in becoming an official for next season to shadow an existing official at this carnival – nice relaxed intro! Please bring along them along to officials briefing at 10am in clubhouse

 

5. Modified Grand Cameron Relay – bit of fun to include all kids!
   Teams to consist of 6 kids – 3 male/3 female – 3 from U8 to U10 age groups, 3 from U11 – U14 age groups.

Course as follows:

 

Team Member 1:            Run 200m                         U8-10

TM2:                                  Run wade run                  U8-10

TM3:                                  Boogie Board race          U8-10

TM4:                                  Swim race                         U11-14

TM5:                                  Board race                        U11-14

TM6                                   Run 200m                         U11-14

 

We will do entries on the line, suggest bring a vivid so you can write on the kids hand their team numbers!   

 

6. If conditions allow, either a wharf swim (fins allowed) or wharf paddle event will take place. If swim, participants will be transferred to the water by IRB for a water start.

If board participants will start on beach, paddle to buoy and back. 

Participants must be entered online to ensure team managers think confidence & fitness levels are sufficient.
