25.01.2022 Any paddler from last Saturdays One Day Challenge missing some gear. This was found in with the PFDs after the event.

23.01.2022 Some shots taken on the weekend during the Sale to Sea 2020 One Day Challenge. A lot of fun despite some trying conditions. A bit sad being my last paddle, but an honour to have been a part of the journey. The Challenge has been a huge part of my life and it has been great to see how it has impacted peoples lives both on the Challenge and also supporting those in our local community who need it most. I would like to thank all those who have supported me along the way to... make this event such a great thing to be a part of especially my wife Lol who has gone above and beyond to support me on my adventures. Cheers Bedgie

23.01.2022 Hi All, The Sale to Sea AGM has been deferred until further notice due to current Covid-19 restrictions. The committee feel that this meeting is best being held face to face as it was initially planned for the 29th August at the Sale RSL. Once the current Covid restrictions ease, a date will be confirmed to arrange a face to face meeting. Please feel free to come along once a date is set so that the future direction for Sale to Sea can be worked out

14.01.2022 On behalf of the Committee and members of Sale to Sea I would like to express our sincere condolences to the family of Daryl "Big D" Hewitt and his extended family, The Strzelecki Stringbusters, on his recent passing. Big D was a gentle giant with the biggest heart who will be sadly missed by his fellow hillbillies and all those who love these guys. The Stringbusters have been instrumental in a lot of our fundraising and their big hearts will be broken with the loss of Big D. We all love you big fella and I hope you keep that banjo twanging at those Pearly Gates. Till we meet again Big Fella
