Venue: Jamieson Park, Reef Point, Scarborough

Scarborough Outrigger Canoe Club INC (SOCC)Welcome

Dear Paddlers,

Scarborough Outrigger Canoe Club (SOCC) would like to welcome you to Race #6, the final race of the AOCRA South

Queensland OC1/2 V1 Series 2018.

This will be held on Saturday 8th December 2018 at Moreton Bay in Scarborough. Canoe launching will be on the beach area in

front of the Newport Cruising Club and Talobilla Waka Ama club.

The program will be run in accordance with the AOCRA Regatta and Training Rules. This is a great opportunity to finish the

season in the beautiful waters of Moreton Bay. The short course race is 8Km and the long will be 16Km.

All registrations for this regatta must be completed on-line through the AOCRA website regatta entry page at www.aocra.com.au

and it would be greatly appreciated if you could register your entry as soon as possible so that we can plan and cater for the day.

We will endeavour to run as close to time as possible, so competitors will need to ensure they are ready to go to their canoe well

before the scheduled race time.

SOCC gives notice we will reserve the right to amend or withdraw races subject to conditions on the day. It is unlikely this will

occur, however we strongly stand by the promotion of a safe environment for all paddles and their safety will always come first.

We will have great coffee available along with food & drink stalls to satisfy your pre and post-race refuelling needs.

We look forward to seeing you for what should be another great day on the Bay.

Kind Regards,

SOCC.
