SO THAT WAS 2003

 

As the year draws to a close I have picked out a few personal highlights.  For consistent performances throughout the year, Eric Morris stands out.  He was always in the Elite placings at the very high-standard Australian Three-days held in WA and Easter, and continued his form to be 3rd in M21Elite at the Australian Championships in Victoria.

 

Congratulations also to Gordon Wilson, 3rd in the Australian Championships in M50.  In the Oceania Championships at Sedgwick, Steve Flick was in a dead heat for first in M55.

 

NEWS

 

Melvyn, Christine and Terry all had a good time and gained placings at the NSW Rogaining Championships.  I am told that it was held on the South Coast north of Batemans Bay.

 

Welcome to new family members Brendan Beckett and Karen Murphy of Artarmon.  We hope to see you at a Summer Series event.

 

And for those who haven’t heard, congratulations to Terry & Cheryl Bluett who are proud grandparents.  Tiia was born on Saturday 8th November and mother Tracy, father Paul and baby are reported to be doing well.

 

COMING EVENTS

 

Summer Series

 

On TUESDAY 23rd December, the Bennelong Northside pre-Christmas Summer Series event moves across the hill to Balmoral Beach so bring your swimmers.  Wayne Pepper is master of ceremonies and will appreciate the usual willing helpers on the day.
