Nannup Cup News Flash
This year's Nannup Cup will be the highest water level since
the race started in 1990. The water level is steady at Nannup
but is still rising in the Arthur River which feeds the
Blackwood River. The race will definitely start from Nannup
Caravan Park and all records should be smashed. Don't miss
this one!

Major Upgrade to this Website
This website will
undergo a major facelift in the next few days. Watch this
site!
New PFDs Approved
The proposal to allow
competitors to wear Type 2 PFDs was approved at the May General
Meeting. You may still use Type 1 PFDs if you prefer.
There are many different types of PFD Type 2, some with great
features such as provision for a Camelback and pockets for
snacks, etc. Typically prices range from $70 -$130.
Drinking by Officials
Restrictions on the consumption of alcohol by Officials were
approved at the May General Meeting.
0.00% Blood Alcohol Content for Avon
Descent
Recent rule changes for
the 2005 Avon Descent mean that competitors will have to have
0.00%BAC prior to starting each day of the race.
Clerk of Course (Power Boats) Kim Epton said that random tests
will be conducted each morning before the Start. "Should
any competitor record higher than zero they will be re-tested
and if still over (the limit) will be excluded from the race".
The tougher stance has resulted from duty of care and insurance
concerns.
Big Al and Big Al to run Sunnyside Sprint
Al Bijl and Al Robinson have
again put up their hand to organise the Sunnyside Sprint and
(hopefully) Karen will be available as Race Director to sort out
the chaos on the day.
