** Annual Memorial Paddle ** On Sunday next, 18th ** Annual Memorial Paddle **

On Sunday next, 18th May @ 10.00am at Doorly Park we will have our annual memorial paddle. 

This is our annual paddle for our club mate Alex McGourty who we tragically lost in a kayaking accident in Ecuador. It's also a chance for us to remember Adrian Pearse, Anna O'Connor and others who are no longer with us.

All paddlers, rowers, SUPers and other water users are welcome and we'd love to see you there as we join the McGourty family on the water for a short paddle, followed by refreshments and some aul gossip.
