Have been clearing out the shed lately. Selling off unused kayaking equipment etc and giving the place a bit of a cleanup. I found a pile of interesting gear including a newsletter that I helped publish in 1983, 28 years ago.
This is the front page of the magazine which was published by the Recreational Canoeing Association in South Australia (long before Australian Canoeing or Canoe SA) and an article I wrote on Canoe Polo. I think I was the committee treasurer at the time. Its interesting to see old names, some that are still around, such as Ken Sullivan, who is still involved in Canoe Polo, but now playing against his own kids. I have a few more boxes to get to so I think I might find magazines from over 30 years ago.
