18.01.2022 ***** MEDIA RELEASE Monday 09 December 2019 ***** Cancellation 2020 Lancelin Ocean Classic Festival The Lancelin Chamber of Commerce & Industry (Inc) (LCCI) takes this opportunity to inform you that the scheduled 2020 Lancelin Ocean Classic Festival has been cancelled With a number of issues arising outside the control of the LCCI we felt that there was insufficient time and funding to resolve these issues. The LCCI did everything in their power to resolve these issues and wi...th time against us there was no other option than to cancel the event to ensure a successful and viable event that met the requirements of our funding partners. After 34 years of successful events we are fully aware and understand the decision will not be favorable so we apologise to our stakeholders, sponsors, community partners, accommodation providers, sailors and the public. The LCCI will now reassess and re-evaluate their options going forward in consultation with stakeholders, industry groups and community groups. All 2020 online registration fees will be reimbursed in full and we will work with the online registration provider to have this managed as soon as possible. For the kite surfers who opted to leave their 2019 entry fee in credit for the 2020 and now look to seek reimbursement of $75 please contact [email protected] with your address, contact number and banking details. The Chamber will endeavour to run this iconic event for 2021 pending circumstances and ensure plenty of notice is given prior to the race. Once again please accept our sincere apologies for the short notice and for any inconvenience caused. For further information please contact [email protected] Lancelin Chamber of Commerce & Industry (Inc) See more

05.01.2022 MEDIA RELEASE Friday 18 January 2019 KITESURFING MARATHON FALSE START OUTCOME The Lancelin Chamber of Commerce & Industry Inc takes this opportunity to thank all competitors for their patience, honesty and feedback in the issue of the 2019 Kite Surfing Marathon start break. This has been a difficult process with a great deal of time spent examining photos, footage, talking to our team involved in the start process as well as talking to professionals, camera operators and goi...ng out to every rider in the field to allow them to make comment. After extensive and exhaustive investigation we found that more than half of the field started falsely which resulted in no conclusive evidence as to the exact perpetrators. We did however find conclusively that the first three riders over the line, being Guy Bridge, Mani Bisschops and Andrew Cooksey did not breach so they will be awarded their prize money. As we did not have further conclusive evidence we will not be awarding further prize monies. We understand the decision will not please everyone so in moving forward we offer the following options; 1. Have 75% of your entry fee refunded which allows for GST, insurance, online registration fees, bank charges and administration charges. 2. Leave your entry fee in credit for 2020 with the Lancelin Chamber of Commerce & Industry Inc. to absorb any charges or entry fee increases as well as providing insurance cover for every competitor. The 2020 prize pool for the Masters, Grand Masters, Women and Junior categories will all be increased with these increases being advertised when on-line registrations open. We believe that we have done everything possible to ensure it is a fair and equitable outcome that maintains the integrity of the Kite Surfing Marathon. Chamber of Commerce will be contacting every registered rider providing them with a copy of this media statement to ensure all are aware of the outcome. The LOC Festival Committee will have discussions with industry leaders on how best to put in place suitable detection equipment so that rider identification can be gained in the future. Once again, many thanks for your patience and support, we trust that you will be back in 2020 to make the event bigger and better. To allow us to meet your needs, all responses to: [email protected] please. Lancelin Chamber of Commerce & Industry Inc
