To our amazing volunteers, Sue, Leonie, Meta, Chris and Kevin, you are the people who enable these events to happen, even under some very trying circumstances. We love to see your smiling faces as we go through marshalling, loading boats or wandering around the venue. Thank you for all of your hard work.
