Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

I'm trying to gauge numbers for Narrandera this year.

If you intend on coming this year, please let me know by either responding here or sending me an email on nh35_stormy@bigpond.com

Commemorative T-shirts will again be available for those coming to Narrandera this year.

Lake Talbot has been empty at this time of the year for the past couple of years, but as we all know, is usually full for us in October. They can fill it quickly from the Murrumbidgee river. All the same, I usually keep an eye on it. Unfortunately, nobody will guarantee us the water for when we want...
