Our Youngest competitor skiing at the Port of Echuca

This morning - the 2008 Club Marine Southern 80 was highlighted in the 6.30am weather report on the Today show on Channel Nine.

Four of our competitors braved the chilly waters to have a run in front of the Port of Echuca (a 8 knot zone for which we were given special persmission to ski on for the cameras).

Here is a photo of our youngest competitor - Dani Altham who turned 5 today (Happy Birthday Dani) skiing behind the Family boat Riverside Marine.

Last day for your Entries.

Hi Everyone, for those who haven't realised Entries close today!!! And boy hasn't my fax been getting a work out and the computer savvy ones have been emailing to make sure that theirs gets here! few regulars not in yet? I wonder have they forgotten or are they just away and not done it???? Lets see what arrives over the weekend and in Mondays mail!! Our office has been working like clockwork this week and nearly all the entries received have been processed, which is fantastic, as the last minute rush won't be so hectic!(I Hope anyway) Bye for Now Betty.

Entries close tomorrow

Well at the end of a busy day.....

278 entries entered into the system.

With about 50 entries recieved but still to be processed.

The fax has been a little busy today - but knowing ski racers - it will be FLAT OUT tomorrow.

Margaret from SRA is off to the Nationals after tomorrow - so SRA memberships won't be processed till she gets back, hopefully everyone has completed all their paperwork.

The fax is loaded with paper and I am sure that it will be empty tomorrow morning when I arrive at the office to continue to enter in more entries for our great race.

Good Night

Betty
