Fun Session Thanks

By Mark Corti

The Fun Sessions are pretty well finished for this year and raised a good bit of money toward the upkeep of our club boats. Many thanks to: Andrea, Lee, Suzy, Richard, Steve, Peter, Catherine, Alan, Tony, Rod, Paul, Rowan, Luke and Matt for helping out, without your help the sessions would not be possible. Sorry if I have missed anybody.
