POSTPONED: TPOTI Regional Secondary Schools Sprint event 02 March, Lake Ngaroto

On Friday we reviewed the lake information and found that there are health warnings in place. The lake levels for cyanobacteria are five times higher than what is acceptable for recreational contact/use. We feel it would be irresponsible of us to run an event in a lake in such a condition. Not only does it place a risk on the participants and event volunteers, it also increases the load on the lake environment. In light of this we will be postponing the event to later in the year. An alternative date later in 2019 will be advised when confirmed.

Te Heke

A great month for getting back into distance events and the ideal one to top it off at the tail end of the month ....Te Heke, the singles (or double canoe ) relay race around Waiheke Island featuring Tupu, Nicky K., Bernie Murch, Richard and Ngaire Pehi plus a number of other well known paddlers. Te Heke make it easy, providing a shuttle service for your team and it's waka across to the island from Maraetai, and if you haven't got your own support boat, we'll source you one. This race can be made easy by having more members in your team, 5 if you like. Check out their Facebook page "Te heke waiheke island circumnavigational race February 2019" or their website www.theheke.co.nz or tel: (021) 960002
