Hi there
What a gorgeous day we had on Sunday at Nippers, it was awesome
to see so many kids out on the water having fun in the sun.
Just a wee note to keep you posted on Nipper info for the year,
we have 2 more Sunday nipper sessions, the 10th and
17th of March. Our Nipper session on
17th March will be our club champs day, this will
start at normal Nippers time of 1:45 p.m. and run like a mini
carnival. There are trophies for each age group, male and
female so it's definitely worth having a crack at them! After
club champs we will have a BBQ, we will provide sausages, families
to provide salads and desserts J.
There are also 2 more pool sessions left this season, the
7th and 14th March.
In case you didn't catch up on our Oceans results we had a team
of 17 go away to Mount Maunganui representing Paekakariki and all
did us proud. There was some huge surf and completing any event in
the sea was real character building stuff but we are very pleased
to say all our Nippers did that J
We had some great successes with Katie Trott winning Gold in the
U14 Surf Race and a bronze in the U14 Diamond. Ishmael
Perkins Banse won a silver medal in the U13 flags and Tallulah
O'Neill had an awesome race to win a bronze medal in the U11 Surf
Race. Almost 800 kids from all over the country competed at the
event so competition was tough.
We also had:
- · Josie
Dixon made finals in Sprints, Swim and Board,
- · Nic
Cecioni was in finals of Surf Race and Run Swim Run,
- · Ishy
also made sprint final,
- · Hamish
Mansell was in Sprint final,
- · Florrie
Dixon was in Board Final,
-
· Charlotte
Meyer along with Tallulah were also in Run Swim Run final.
- · Our U11
relay team of Lincoln Amaru, Hamish Mansell, Millie Ireland Spicer
and Aneeka Craig were in the relay finals.
Awesome stuff!
Our Seniors are off to their Nationals at Mount Maunganui this
weekend and we wish them good luck. This will mean we will be
a bit light on helpers this Sunday so please everyone pitch in.
Regards
Sandra Bednarek
