The Big Bash - 2002 Fairfield Canoe Club Awards Evening

The 2002 Big Bash was again held at the Collingwood Football Club on Saturday 19 October.

The Social Club Committee outdid themselves with the decorations creating a water theme of dolphin and other water creature balloons floating above the crowd, and other balloons and streamers in club colours of light and dark blue.

Members also outdid themselves as they dressed to impress, enjoyed the selection of food and boogied the night away with the DJ.

Julie Perriam took out two awards for an excellent year of paddling and Werner Bolz was a very popular 'Under the Yarra' award winner.

The Big Bash - 2001 Fairfield Canoe Club Awards Evening

Held on Saturday 27 October at the Collingwood Football Club, the 2001 Big Bash was a night of splendour, elegance and rivalry.

Old and new members mixed it together enjoying the pre-dinner champagne, food and dancing. Many companies donated goods to help raise over $1300 for the club via raffles held on the night.

The awards were almost a clean sweep by Rose Curtis who took out three of the five. Mick Gayfer who only took up paddling a year ago was given the coach's award by Zoli Stegeti.
