This could happen to you this Sunday, but I’m hoping it really doesn’t, just for safety’s sake.
The reason I’ve thrown this wild idea into your mind, is because Sunday my mates at the Mackay Dragon Boat Club are doing a big charity paddle-a-thon at the Mackay Marina and they want your help.
They are all paddling around the marina doing at least 40 laps, and the money they raise will go straight to Chances Op Shop and their fantastic community work, helping so many people in Mackay at this very stressful time.
They are also putting the call out there for people to come along and have a paddle as well. Get wet if you like, have a few laughs, and maybe get the ‘guns out’ all in the name of charity.
Their president Darrin was telling me the other day that they are all set to go after being delayed by that cyclone a few weeks ago. I won’t mention her name, because it’s like a swear word in my household. It’s just best not to say anything.
If you’d like to join us, yes, I’ll come down and say hi early, they’ll all be there from 6am, so let’s have some fun on the water!
This weekend is very busy for so many people, even after the action last week at the Sports Expo! That was massive. Tonight, the annual J-League hockey comp starts up at Harney Street. This will be fun. The next lot of teenagers playing fast paced hockey over the next 6 weeks on a Friday night. Come down and check it out. Maybe you want to play hockey, or get your kids into it? Come and have a chat with us. I’ll be there so come and say hi.
Also, before I go, if you’re up in Airlie Beach tomorrow, and you see a bloke with sunglasses on, having a swim in the lagoon, it may be me. I decided I need a day in the Whitsundays, so I’ll be cruising up the goat track, for some relaxing time right beside the Great Barrier Reef. Just magic!
I might be on a yacht, I may just be swimming, or I might even be strolling around Magnums listening to the tunes with a local ginger beer in hand. Who knows. I just hope the weather is fine enough to have some fun.
I’ll see you down the road. Have fun.
You can join Rob Kidd from 5am weekday mornings on 4MK 1026 AM in Mackay and Proserpine, 91.5FM in Airlie Beach or just ask your smart speaker to play 4MK on iHeartRadio!
