MASTERS CORNER...<br />

<strong>April</strong> <strong>2011</strong> <strong>Newsletter</strong><br />

Wow what an Australian Masters Championship. All day<br />

Saturday we were running second to Noosa Heads and no<br />

matter what results we got we could not overtake them.<br />

However Sunday was a different proposition as in the Team<br />

events, both male and female, we came to the fore and<br />

initially finished the Carnival on 328 points and Noosa Heads<br />

314.5. At our after Carnival function news came through<br />

that Trent Rowe won 30-39 Champion <strong>Life</strong>saver and Scott<br />

Unicomb won 40-49 event (12 points – up to 340) Then in<br />

the Board Riding, Tiarne won the Long and Short Board<br />

Riding and Nigel won the Long Board and was third in the<br />

Short Board (another 22 points)<br />

FINAL POINTSCORE<br />

BMD <strong>Northcliffe</strong> 362<br />

Noosa Heads 314.5<br />

Queenscliff 141.5<br />

It is truly unbelievable that 3rd would be over 200 points<br />

behind the winner and that 1st and 2nd would have so many<br />

points. In all we won<br />

24 Gold Medals 20 Silver Medals 17 Bronze Medals<br />

Our leading Medalists were Terri Sullivan with 8 Gold,<br />

followed by Tiarne with 6, Anna 5 and<br />

Gavin 4. WELL DONE TO THE MASTERS<br />

TEAM – YOU CERTAINLY DID YOURSELVES<br />

AND THE CLUB PROUD.<br />

SUPPORT CLUB MEMBER KAT COLLINS AS<br />

SHES RIDES TO CONQUER CANCER...<br />

Hi guys<br />

So, my journey<br />

has begun! In<br />

August, I'll be<br />

participating in<br />

a cycling event<br />

called The Rio<br />

Tinto Ride to<br />

Conquer Cancer, which is in benefit of the Queensland<br />

Institute of Medical Research (QIMR).<br />

It is a 200km bike ride over 2 days throughout Qld’s scenic<br />

countryside – a challenge with a simple goal: to raise as<br />

much money as possible to help QIMR conquer cancer!<br />

The QIMR is a worldwide leader in cancer research and<br />

discovery. It is one of the largest research institutes in the<br />

southern hemisphere. QIMR’s work is incredibly important –<br />

1 in 2 Australians will be diagnosed with cancer in their<br />

lifetime! I find that statistic somewhat horrifying and that’s<br />

why I’m taking on the challenge!<br />

The catch is, in order to participate I need to raise a minimum<br />

of $2,500. If you would like to support me in my fundraising<br />

efforts, any contribution will be greatly appreciated.<br />

Please follow the link below to make a donation.<br />

Thank you in advance for your generosity – every little bit<br />

counts!<br />

FROM THE CLUB CHAPLAIN...<br />

Congratulations BMD <strong>Northcliffe</strong> competitors. What an<br />

awesome display of courage and talent to win 7 straight<br />

Aussie Titles in a row is a feat, not accomplished by luck or<br />

just good fortune but by a very talented and determined<br />

group of athletes, coaches and support crew (i.e family).<br />

As always in answer to critics, <strong>Northcliffe</strong> proves its<br />

intensions, not with heated big talk or puffed up pride, but<br />

with the burning demonstration of power in every<br />

competitor to get themselves over the line:- FIRST!!<br />

On behalf of all <strong>Northcliffe</strong> competitors, may I give thanks<br />

to our CREATOR - JESUS who gives all of us the capacity and<br />

power to achieve our goals.<br />

I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME -<br />
