Join us in Port Pirie for the State Masters Games in April 2010

PORT PIRIE SUNSHINE WELCOMES MASTERS CANOE POLO

Sat 17th & Sun 18th April 2010

Pura Light Start Port Pirie Masters Games and the friendly people of Port Pirie will host South Australian State Master's  canoe polo in April 2010. If you are 30+ why not join in and make the trip north. The normally placid waters of Port Pirie Community Swimming Pool will be turned into a white-water frenzy. This social competition can be a highlight with many laughs both on the water and off. Will the winged messenger of the North (Hermes) again float on the waters of Port Pirie?  

 

Camping at Bill's farm nestled in the Southern Flinders Ranges (near the Barooka Reservoir) is also one of the delicious treats of this trip.

 

Only 20 minutes from the sunny City of Port Pirie the players gather in the late Saturday sun for a chat and drink re-living the wins and and heroic exploits of the day. Some people are known to have applied medicinal alcohol to sooth aching muscles around the open log fire that serves as source of warmth in the cold night air.

 

Bill & Kaye turn on a treat with a sumptuous barbie with all the trimmings during the evening

 

The sunrise greets these old warriors with breakfeast of cereal, pancakes, bacon and eggs and fruit helping to fuel their engines for the fight to stand on the podium with the gold medal hung round your neck (and your adoring fans cheering from the sidelines).

 

If you are aged over 30 & enjoy a weekend of social canoe polo, book the dates in your diary. You won't be disappointed.

 

Saturday, 17th April & Sunday, 18th April 2010
