Bruce ‘The Roadrunner’ Robberds wants to let all NSW Australia Racers know that Fred Williams is organising a reunion of former and current boat and ski racers at Forster.
The event will be held on Saturday & Sunday 5th & 6th July with a dinner at the Forster RSL Club on Saturday 5th.
If you are interested, you need to call Fred on 02 6554 9067
With Fred organising this event, I felt that it’s an excellent time to share a few more of the articles that describe some of the Australian people and events that formed the beginnings of water ski racing in Australia. Some time ago, Bob Wing kindly gave me permission to reproduce articles from his 1982 book “Waterskiing in Australia” – the best book ever written about our sport. I had a few typed up and published here on skirace.net. Now I’ve added a few more and you can click the links below to read them.
Again my thanks to Bob who has not only done so much for waterskiing (along with his family) but also for capturing history in his 1982 book.
