CITROEN '17 DETAILS
Alright folks, we have the all clear from the land owner to base ourselves back at Citroen put in this year.
Please do not camp there. There are options to camp down stream at Roaring Meg put in or Dogleg take out. There are toilets in both locations.
Please do not remove the gate to Citroen. We will open the gate Saturday morning, but if you are wanting to access the river before the weekend and the gate is closed/locked, please park on the road and walk over the land or just put in at the bridge.
EVENT DETAILS: Saturday March 11th
REGISTRATION: 9am - 945am at Citroen put in. $25 cash only
BRIEFING: 10am
RACING: We'll attempt to start racing by 1130am at the rapid
PRIZE GIVING: Back at the put in once racing is all finished up and we've cleared all the gear from the river bank.
AFTER PARTY: Red Rock Cafe. They've offered us food from $10 and drink specials all night as well as bar tabs.
IMPORTANT:
1. No throwbag = no entry! If the finisher asks to see your throwbag and you do not have one, you will be disqualified!
2. It's usually hot. Bring sunscreen, drink and food. Expect a few hours at the river.
I'm still looking for a couple of helpers, so if you're not racing and want to score the cheap drinks at the party, find me in the morning.
Happy paddling.

CITROEN 2017 - The show must go on!
MARCH 11th 2017, Kawarau River Queenstown
After a couple years away from our traditional entry ramp boater cross format, it's looking like we'll be back it at for 2017.
I'm fairly confident the race will be based out of the Citroen put in this year, after having re-built land owner - kayaker relations last year. However, camping at the put in will still be strictly forbidden! Please respect that it is a privilege being able to utilise the land at the put in, NOT a right.
Further posts to come with details.
What I can tell you for certain is that the AFTER PARTY will be hosted by RED ROCK this year.
STAY TUNED.
