Hello everyone, 

Just letting you know that the AGM will be held on 11 November. Please put this date in your diaries. More information will be sent early next month. 

Look forward to seeing you there.

President I VSKC

Richard Rawling took to the microphone this month to tell us about his trip to the paddling paradise of Milos. He also tried to tempt us all to join him on another trip to Milos in June 2026!

The first trip already has 14 participants but he is trying to see if we can get another group of 12 to go!

Are you game?

I have also attached the presentation to view.

Another great social night last night!

This month Richard Rawling took us on his adventure to Antarctica which included six, 3 hour polar paddles.

I have attached Richard's presentation for those who missed it.

Another great social night! Record numbers again this month being just shy of 50 members and guests.

Thanks to Helmut, Denby, Martin and Peter telling the tale of the latest club Bass Strait crossing.

Here is a link to a copy of the presentation >> Bass Strait crossing 2025 Pod presentation minus videos.pdf

Next month we have Richard Rawling booked in to share his adventures in Antarctica!

See you all on July 9!

A lively and sociable kayaking weekend was had by all at PaddleFest earlier this month down at Barwon Heads! The weather was favourable, the food and entertainment were great, the presentations and workshops were engaging and enlightening, and the competitions were a lot of fun.

As usual, the trips offered plenty of friendly paddling company and learning  opportunities as well.

Thanks to the tribe of volunteers who helped make the weekend a success.  Most of all, a huge thanks to Carmel who organised the overall event!
