Great results for Pittwater at 2008 NSW Access state Championships on Lake Wallace at Wallerawang.
Pittwater Excels at 2008 NSW State Access Championships The NSW championships for Access Dinghies was held at Lake Wallace, Wallerawang on the 23/ 24th February, hosted by this very new branch. It was a great success and a credit to the organisers, with excellent weather both days, great accommodation and good food and plenty of socialising. Once again Pittwater were very well represented both on and off the water. Allan Jones was the chief sailing organiser while Wally Wardle, was the race official with NSW President Graham Rayner. Malcolm Murray manned the safety boat for all races, and was kept very busy at times. Our sailors were Ronald Notter, Helen Cregan and Les Swan in the Liberty class, Paul Butler and John Gordon in 303 singles, Alyse Saxby and Haley Marr (with crew) in the 303 doubles, and Lesley Christian, Graham Norris, Michael Breen, Tony Solomon and Ricky Faul in the special 303 / 2.3 division. We had great support from our volunteers Corrie & Ian Stainton, Malcolm &Laurie Murray, Bob and Maria Hamilton, Sherryl Everett, Richard Warburton, Steve Marr,David Henderson and John McCausland. While Corrie was busy being Allan’s right hand, Ian was flat out manning the pontoon and keeping that end going smoothly. At the end of a busy weekend Ronald was first and Helen second in Liberty, John G 3rd in 303 singles, Paul Butler was awarded the Encouragement Award. Helen was also given The Most Successful Female award. Well done Pittwater, you did our branch proud.
