Hey Woody and JC,

How can we get a certified receipt to those who pay cash?

Phill

Hi Phil, preference would be to make donations through the website but if that doesn't work - no problem to create a receipt on SUP Vic letterhead.

If anyone that is not paddling and would like to make a tax deductible donation to support Sandringham Hospital and the paddlers, please go to http://www.givenow.com.au/sdmhmadpaddle

We have raised nearly $7,000 to-date but would like to raise $25,000 for a mobile ultrasound unit for the hospital.

How about considering a donation to DJ for his great board reviews and videos on this forum!

p.s. there are still a few places left if anyone would like to join us next weekend.

The following are the teams made up for those who were looking for a partner. You will be receiving an email soon so you can sort out with your partner which board to use.
Jonathan and Rachel
Janette and Milo
Kathy N and Freddy
Bruce T and Ann T
Richard Smith and Mark Bradtke
Jezza and Felicity

See you at the briefing

Hand blisters... Ouch! .. If you are concerned about what paddling for 5-6 hours might do to your hands you should consider this...

www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Stand-Up-Paddle/SUP/How-to-stick-on-paddle-grip/?SearchTerms=Naish,paddle,grip

It's cheap.. Easy to fit.. Can be removed easy after if you want to.. and will keep your hands as soft as a baby's bottom..

DJ

That's great Jonathan, the Mad Paddle wouldn't of been quite so mad without DJ there,
I'll jump in first with a mad wind prediction, looks like a slow moving high will cross over the state through the weekend with plenty of rain around the end of the working week,so I'd say light southerly winds for paddle morning.

My biggest donation yet is from my old workplace from 6 years ago who I barely do any work from anymore AND two staff members personally donated on top. You can never pick em hey?

How are you getting this information? Is there a way of finding out who has donated on your behalf?

I'm having the same issue.
People providing sponsorship $$$$ are meant to fill in your email address on the online form so that you are notified of their donation.
I'm finding that even though I asked people to fill this in, they miss it.

I asked Felicity Frederico what the go is with this.
I think she might be able to send you a spreadsheet with all donations so that you can go through it and add it up yourself.

Hopefully they get some more donations coming in this week.
I donated some money this morning on soemone else's behalf and the total was well short of the target.

Here's the link again to the donation site if anyone is feeling generous.

Come on people open those wallets and let the moths out....it's going to a good cause.....and its tax deductable!!

Geelong & Melbourne Forecasts look pretty good at the moment;

Melb;
Sunday 18 March
Summary Min 15 Max 22 Morning shower or two.
Melbourne area
Partly cloudy. Isolated showers during the morning. Winds southwesterly averaging up to 25 km/h tending southerly up to 30 km/h during the afternoon.

Geelong;
Sunday 18 March
Summary Min 13 Max 21 Morning shower or two.
Geelong and Surf Coast area
Partly cloudy. Isolated showers during the morning. Winds west to southwesterly averaging up to 30 km/h tending southerly 20 to 35 km/h during the afternoon.

It seems to suit the intended Indented Head to Sandringham run.

I am getting emails from the "system" when someone officially donates on the website and puts my email address in.

Too much east just means paddlers will be holding their hot dogs with their right hand.

All those doing the MAD paddle this Sunday should check out this.. www.capecodbaychallenge.org/

They have done three CCBC (Cape Cod Bay Challenge) now.. and there's is a similar distance to ours with the same type of challenges.

I have asked them to help us with ours with any advise that they might have to help.

Here.. www.standupzone.com/forum/index.php?topic=15297.msg137427

It will be interesting to see what advise they might have for us.

Thanks DJ.
PT Woody, it looks like the Mornington course option is slowly winning the arm wrestle... as forecasts get adjusted slightly each day!
See you on Sunday, well before we see the sun!

The decision will be made by the safety panel which I think includes coast guard and port authority types so the organisers will be very well advised.

Frankston / Mornington $1.05

Sunday 18 March
Winds East to southeasterly 10 to 15 knots tending south to southeasterly 15 to 20 knots during the afternoon then tending east to southeasterly during the evening. Seas 0.5 to 1 metres increasing to 1 to 1.5 metres during the evening.

Let me put it a different way Woody!
The current Tote is;
Indented Heads Course - $2.60
Mornington Course - $1.35
Any other option - $10.00

I am going for $1.10
"I love frankston"

Wow! is right..

If true this is awesome and a great way to promote this new board.
