Rod Fry Race set for July 3rd

The Rod Fry Memorial Race is the Club’s signature event and the club is looking for a coordinator and as many volunteers as possible.

If you can take on the top-level organising of this event or can volunteer for smaller jobs, please contact president@swancanoeclub.org.au
Full guidelines for organising and running the event will be provided and there are always many helpers available.
There are a few longer lead-time tasks that need doing sooner rather than later, so an early May start would be great.

Thanks,
SCC Committee
