Park to Pub 2024

The annual Great Unofficial Group Paddle at Race Pace which may or may not be timed is back and better than ever! Going forward it will now be known as the Park to Pub and thanks to our magical team fairies, will be timed through webscorer. This year will be all about the social aspect and the mid pack battlers. Yes its still a "race" and the "elites" can try power down the course as fast as humanly possibly, but the main aim for this is to bring everyone together for a fun paddle down a piece of water that is under utilised. Once finished we can then walk across the road and enjoy a bowl of fries and a drink while sharing stories from our winter training battles.
