The ANRTC held trials over Saturday and Sunday of the Anzac weekend, with Novice and Restricted one day and All Age the next. Although water in the river at the Upper Swan site, wasn't high, some good pools provided enough for swimming runs. The rest of the site is very rough under foot, with a lot of holes, logs and steep banks; not good for ageing bones ! Many thanks to Manfred Meerkotter, Mark Jackson, Dennis Graham and Anne Cameron for working the All Age, and Catherine Thorburn for being Chief Steward, and to Mark and Kirsty Jackson, Allan Bartram, Anne Cameron and Manfred for helping during Saturday's trial, and Colin Hankinson for being Chief Steward.
