The Jet Boating New Zealand circuit races have been cancelled at Balclutha because of high winds.

Competitors could not race in conditions when there was a high risk of boats flipping, Otago branch spokesman Fraser Morrison, of Stirling said.

The 50 kilometre circuit races were to have been held Friday morning on the Clutha River.

The Otago Rivers Jet Boat race which was to be held on Friday afternoon will not start at Balclutha as scheduled.

Instead, it was hoped it would begin at Clydevale, about 20 minutes away at 2pm, where there was more shelter and would race to Roxburgh if conditions allowed.

Circuit and river racing is to continue at Glenorchy on Saturday and Wanaka on Sunday.

Happy World Sleep Day neighbours! Or is it? At Patney we believe a good night’s sleep is key to finding the energy to live your life to the fullest, so on World Sleep Day we're here to talk about snoring!

Anyone can be affected by snoring, at any time in their lives. Patney’s founder Frances Anderson has experienced first-hand the impact snoring can have on your energy levels, confidence and happiness.

Frances spent years searching for an effective way to control her snoring, to no avail. Fed up and exhausted, Frances set out on a journey to create her own solution. The Patney sleep positioner is the result of an intensive research, development and testing process.

Frances sought independent validation of the Patney sleep positioner through the University of Otago. The independent study proved the Patney sleep positioner is an effective way to control snoring.

No one should have to put up with snoring. Take a look at Patney and experience the benefits a good night’s sleep can bring. We offer a 30-day money back guarantee, so on World Sleep Day you can celebrate having had a great night's sleep!
