Rock and Roll 13-16 March 2020 Batemans Bay

The Club will return to beautiful Batemans Bay in March 2020 to

hold its premier 3-day annual event. Our base will again be the

Batemans Bay Beach Resort adjacent to Corrigans Beach. The

resort offers a broad range of accommodation options – from self-

contained villas to unpowered tent sites. This location provides an

easy launching to a wide variety of paddling destinations including

the iconic Tollgate Islands, the natural coastline of Murramarang

National Park and the Clyde River and its wide, protected estuary.

The program will follow the usual structure with a welcome event

on the Friday evening, hosted by the team from Expedition Kayaks.

Trips will be offered on Saturday, Sunday and Monday mornings,

commencing after the usual muster at the marquee. Participation in

the training activities on offer will be based on registration through

the Club website prior to the event.

There will be some off-water training activities and novelty events

offered on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

The traditional R’nR dinner on Saturday night will be held at the

Catalina Club, an easy stroll from our accommodation. Apart from

enjoying good company and a decent feed, we will be entertained by

an eminent guest speaker.

A BBQ will be run at Saturday lunchtime and a food van will be

on site for Sunday evening before the screening of entries for the

Pogies award (please start thinking about your entry now).

An innovation for R’nR 2020 will be a New Members’ and R’nR

First Timers’ breakfast on the Saturday morning, hosted by our Vice

President, Mark Fuller. This will help guide these folk through the

various R’nR activities, and introduce them to some of other members

of the Club’s leadership group.

So, put the dates of 13-16 March 2020 in your diary now, and book

your accommodation early. The resort is offering a 10% discount

to Club members, but to achieve this bookings must be done by

phone, not on the Internet. Our HQ marquee and exhibition area

will be in front of Cabin 5. Check the resort’s website https://beachresort.

com.au for its site plan and then call 1800 217 533 to make

a booking for your chosen option.

Our website will announce further details regarding R’nR2020 as

they come to hand, including when registration for the event is

open.
