Team 66 - Dennis Dickey Award

Theo Vale

​Our W6 Waka Ama team named 'Team 66' so named because our total ages was divided by 6 of which three of us (Rick Broughton,  Maurie Marvin and myself) are 70+. The other 3 (Brenda Vale, Mary Rose Hammerich and Mark Sutherland) were underage, lol!

Last Sunday 27th we participated in the Cambridge to Hamilton Waikato Awa race which ended In Grantham street at the bottom of Victoria Street Hamilton.

The Race was organised by The Boatshed Karapiro.

The Special Dennis Dickey award of $200.00 is awarded/donated by his Widow each year.  We split the award six ways.

Dennis Dickey was a keen paddler and passed away when he was only 71.

We are training for a 22km Ocean race in Kaiteretere next November.
