*** THE OFFER ***
Open to anyone in Marlborough (or afar if you are visiting). If you can make it to at least a couple of our regular Monday, Wednesday or Saturday trainings over the next 3 weeks (race day is no time to learn to paddle) then you can join us on our trip to the Ice Breaker Regatta, on Lake Pegasus, in the Pegasus Township, North Christchurch.
We will provide all the equipment, transport from Blenheim, accommodation and race entries. Traveling down on Saturday afternoon we will rest up for the evening at Pegasus Gateway Motel before race day on Sunday. 250m and 500m races are the call of the day. At the end of the exciting day of racing we will then tuck you up in the minibus with a well earned beverage and deliver you back to Blenheim ready to tell your workmates all about your awesome weekend. Don't worry about your fitness! Races are all done and dusted in around 2 minutes and its the very start of the season, no-one is really very fit.
Yes there is a cost. We have put together this entire package for only $110. Your only have to bring yourself and some food. Plus when you discover just how awesome this sport is and want to carry on we will give you 25% off your season fees.
