Annual Trophies 

Because there are so many races outside our club, the race committee also recognises inter-club and overseas results — but paddlers must have competed in some of our club series races to be eligible. 

• LPKC Clint Robinson “In the Drink” Award (First awarded 1994). Paul Sommers 

Next year, the race committee will look closely at frequent “swimmers,” as we suspect some are capsizing on purpose to win this one! Paul Sommers will be offered one-on-one bracing practice with either Geoff Hine or, even better, Paul Moses. (cheeky)
