"Dear Dragonboaters and Outriggers
This year's Santa Sprint has been moved to Sunday 4th January. This is open to not only dragonboaters, outriggers, but also any friends, visiting relatives etc who want to get involved and have a bit of paddle fun and, importantly, raise money for Operation Santa Claus. The cost per entry is HK75 and this will include a turkey sandwich as usual, plus there will be prizes. EVERY DOLLAR COLLECTED GOES TO OPERATION SANTA CLAUS. We do not spend money on prizes or food, its all donated.
Details: this is an OC1/Surfski and an OC6 race (if you are OC1/Surfski and intend to race in that category, can you please input OC1 or Surfski in the notes section so I know who wants to do what, nothing input means you will be put in an OC6 boat).
OC6 Teams: are selected randomly through drawing straws (or something similar) on the day. Steers people can opt to volunteer to be a helm in which case we will draw lots to pick steers if there are too many.
Course: Powerstation Beach, through Powerstation into YSW harbour, down past the helicopter pad, turn around and race back to the beach (approx 6km).
Prizes for: OC6 winner, OC1 winner and runner up, OC1 rookie winner and runner up (rookie: anyone who has not done this race before) Surfski winner Best Santa Sprint costume (come on its the final chance to wear a santa hat for a whole year!) Time 11.00am at Powerstation Beach (probably stagger OC1/Surfski times with 5 mins in-between 11.00am and 11.05am)
Turkey Sandwiches: 1pm at the Island Bar (that should be enough time to race, go home change, get back to Island Bar (the food will start promptly at 1pm).
Please note: We have put back Santa Sprint to 4th January because the Island Bar is having a dreadful time this year of trying to raise funds for Operation Santa Claus (the quiz only had 3 teams, Treasure Hunt only had 7 teams) - they are donating some prizes as they have left-overs from these events. It would be fantastic if we could raise A LOT OF CASH FOR OPERATION SANTA CLAUS. Please sign up, its a lot of fun and raising money for a good cause."
