Tangimoana

| From Our Own Correspondent. = The Tangimoaua Boating and Social E Club held a successful regatta on New § Year’s Bay. Unfortunately, quite a | strong westerly wind was blowing, mak- = ing conditions rather unpleasant lor the = spectators. Ilotvever, the afternoon’s | entertainment was well organised. The = officials responsible for the running of I the events were:—Judge and starter for E launches, A. R. TV. Scott; judge and = starter for rowing boats and canoes, L. E J. Hickin; announcer, Norman Dixon; = stewards, E. Wriglitson, E. McKenzie, = B. Harneiss, J. "Warner, A. Needham, 5 N. Munn, J, V. Kyle, J. Crabbe. Eejjj suits:— | Launches under 20ft.: A. Tacon’s jjj Zip 1, J. V. Kyle’s Zolax 2, N. Bixon’s = Rita 3. | Launches over 20ft.: J. Warner’s 5 Ideal I, J. Crabbe’s Brownie 2, J. = Aiochan’s Happy Bays 3, H. Rogers’ | Whoopee 4. E Bowing race: The river was choppy 1 and the conditions anything but ideal | for rowing. Miss Lindsay Crabbe put = up a splendid performance and doubt- = less would have won the race had she | not mistaken the liuishing post. The | winners were: Frank Spry 1 (the prize | being donated by Mr. K. Wrightson), | Noel Miles, Marton 2 (Mr. R. McKen- § zie’s prize) 2, Miss Lindsay Crabbe 3 | (Mr. Parnell’s special prize). § Canoe race: The canoe race attracted | much attention, the winners being: B. | Jenkins, Feilding (Mr. Mochan’s prize) = 1, L. Morris (Feilding) 2, J. C. Cordiner, § Petone (special Drize donated by Mrs. | F. Parnell) 3. s The big race of the day, the speed | boat race for the It. lv. Ayers Challenge s Cup, was a real thrill. John Penney’s § skilful handling of his boat, Buzzaloug, | won for him the coveted trophy. S To all members who worked so con- | scientiously to make this initial perfor- | mance such a success, the thanks of the | public is due, with perhaps a spocial | word of thanks to Mr. J. V. Kyle for E the efficient manner in which he | handled the river traffic, his assistance S bring a great help to competitors.
