Hi guys
Great to have our best turn out for the 2010 season on Tuesday afternoon with 76 out of 83 team members enjoying taking on NZ Cross Country Champion Fiona Crombie and 30 x NZ Champion Phil Costley in the Avon and over the 1km relay course. There were certainly a few thrills and spills and I definitely found it tough going in the river on the second lap! Well done to the Year 5 and 6 Boys who had 100% there as well as the Year 7 and 8 Girls! Hope you all got the link to David's fantastic photos!
