As some of you may know, 4 EWP members are soon to leave for Sydney Australia to participate in the 2009 World Master Games.

The members going are Dale O'Brien, Darryl O'Brien, Carolyn Karasiuk, and Jean Leduc.

The club has generously offered to offer some financial support to our 4 members in their quest for personal excellence.

The World Master Games are held every 4 years, like the Olympics, however the games are participatory in nature and are for individuals competing for themselves rather than for their own Nation.

Participants need to meet minimum age requirements to enter, and the required minimum age does change depending on the sport.

Our 4 intrepid members will compete in Canoe Polo Recreational division as "The Crunch", with the help of 2 other individuals, Innisfail's Dan Groeneveld and the American Alexander (Izzy) Izmailov.

In addition to Canoe Polo, some members will be competing in Whitewater Slalom and Flat Water Sprint.

The team will be leaving Edmonton on Oct 5th and returning Oct 21st.

The games themselves are held from Oct 10th to 18th.
