From the Beach Hop
First of all we want to thank you for the work you put into creating something special for Coromandel Town to encourage our entrants to visit the town for the recent Repco Power Cruise the Loop.

As you are aware this wasn't part of the original Programme however we've been overwhelmed with the amazing feedback from those who participated.

So much so that we are planning to do it again on Thursday 21st March 2024!

You have 11 months to put together a package and we are excited to see what you and your team will come up with.

We will require digital media (PDF of JPG) by Jan 1st 2024 so we can include it in our Social Media etc.

Best regards,
If you are keen to be involved please contact Jenny at James and Turner.
