200m Club Championship and the Rod Heidenreich 50m

What started as a lovely morning ended up being quite blustery and choppy in the water. We finished the club championship events with the 200m race and had the Rod Heidenreich 50m trophy.

Congratulations to Deb Jenkins and Paul Cavanagh for winning the 200m club championships and to Corinne Archer and Paul Rugg for winning the Rod Heidenreich trophy.
