It would sure be fun to have LML teams at the VI Championships nee Gorging Dragons Funfest. I am quite sure the organizers would like the colour of your money just fine, and paddlers would welcome our mainland counterparts and your stiff competition as always. I'm not at all surprised that it hasn't happened though ... it's a week before the Victoria festival, and even though the fees are a lot cheaper nothing else would be for an out of town team. It's a lot of money for a one-day festival and Victoria the following weekend's a bigger bang.
Looks like the 'Funfest' - although I'm sure it'll continue to thrive and grow - has been replaced by the earlier 250m Sprints. That felt like the Funfest used to feel: just good fun, cameraderie, who cares about official rosters, let's just play together on the water. I've never seen so many people scrambling from one boat straight into another!! And another! And another!
But look at me changing the subject ... sorry Mr Moderator.
