PARKING

Where possible we recommend all paddlers organise car shuffling from Dawesville

back to the club for race briefing and collection of cars AFTER the race be done prior to

the day. This can eliminate much stress on yourselves and regatta hosts. Carpool where

possible so you can finish the day and enjoy some food, drinks and laughs on the grass

with your paddle mates.

Mandurah Ocean Club shares a public car park - we will have volunteers on the day to point you in the right direction after the car park is full. Overflow will be in the adjacent grass area. Please be mindful to leave enough space in this unmarked area and not block cars in. Do not leave any valuables on show in your car while you are away as will be un-monitored.

Pre-race: Trailers on return from Dawesville canoe drop off can be parked on the lawn at the Mandurah Ocean Club or as directed by Club Volunteer parking attendants, please adhere to their directions on the day.

FOOD & DRINKS

All Competitors, Volunteers and Supporters are encouraged to bring their own drinking

water (to reduce purchase of single use plastic bottles) and food for the day, however we

needs.

Due to COVID local businesses were heavily impacted this year - please support our local vendors if you can.
