Red Rock delivers modern Australian fare at great prices, complemented by the addition of a Children’s area directly off the Restaurant. Works at Erindale and Chisholm continue and I thank Members for their patience during this time. Improvements to roll out throughout April include re-carpeting, re-decorating and re-furnishing. We have teamed with our quality beverage suppliers in bringing two special events to Vikings – the Robert Oatley Wine Dinner and the Matilda Bay Beer Dinner. I encourage Members to book early for these nights as we continue to strive to provide different experiences to suit our broad membership base. Due to The Vikings Group commitment to our community, nearly 8,000 athletes (mostly represented by our affiliated teams) competed in the past year. The achievements of these teams and individuals from our affiliated clubs were recently recognised at the 2011 Vikings Sports Awards – we congratulate them on their efforts. Lastly, Australians recognise 25 April as an occasion of national commemoration. Services are held at dawn – the time of the original landing – across the nation. The culture and tradition of Anzac Day will continue with Two-up scheduled at The Auditorium, Vikings Erindale.

The label evokes the idea of leisurely wining and dining in the great Australian outdoors. Willowglen Cabernet Merlot The lead up to the 2009 harvest in the Riverina was one of the best on record, with refreshing rains during spring and mild December temperatures. This lead to fruit with flavour intensity and acid structure not seen for a few years. This all changed at the end of January with an unprecedented heat wave of plus 40 degrees for 14 days which saw ripening stall for 3 weeks. Overall the vintage was good to excellent. Willowglen Cabernet Merlot offers sweet fragrant aromas of blackberries with underlying mint and hints of milk chocolate oak. A generous wine that shows sweet and vibrant fruit on the fleshy palate with soft mouth-coating tannins. Willowglen Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2011 was a very difficult vintage with some of the largest rainfalls recorded in a growing season. However, the summer ripening period was cooler because of this rainfall. This led to long ripening periods and great flavour and acid balance, rarely seen in the Riverina region. $5.10 per glass | $17.50 per bottle To accompany the clean citrus aromas with herbaceous hints is the zesty palate upfront of lime and lemon, which rounds slightly for passionfruit and gooseberry notes on the lengthy finish. CIDER OF THE MONTH MALTILDA BAY DIRTY GRANNY CIDER Dirty Granny Matured Apple Cider is the new Apple Cider from Matilda Bay! Classic and craft in style, Dirty Granny has a rich and full flavour which combines a good balance of sweetness and acidity and the crisp, refreshing taste of 100% Australian apples.

Vikings Club News There was certainly time for rest and play in between competitions, with the next few days filled with outings like learning to surf at Waikiki beach, Snorkelling at Hanauma Bay, hiking up Diamond Head crater, shopping at Ala Moana Shopping Centre and the Outlets, visiting Cultural Centres and experiencing the traditional Hawaiian food and dance at Germaine’s Luau. The girls also enjoyed learning the lingo with greetings of “Aloha and Mahalo”. The next competition was “Gymnastics in Paradise” hosted by Hawaiian Island Tumblers. The girls performed extremely well again this time bringing home more medals and a wooden carved Ku Tiki, known as the God of Strength. Results were commendable again with Emma 2nd, Hannah 4th and Tiana 5th, Katerina 1st, Maddison 2nd and Naomi 6th, Georgia 2nd and Celina 5th, Teagan 6th and Laura 8th, Melanie 1st and Alannah 3rd, Jaidyn 2nd and Bianca 3rd, and Bianka 2nd. The entire trip was an amazing experience for all gymnasts, as well as coaches Valeriy Shuster, Carlene Bourandanis and Nicole Alexander and the chaperones and families who travelled to support the team. The club anticipates travelling in the future to more international competitions with both their Men’s and Women’s teams. 31 Tuggeranong Vikings Triathlon Club Tuggeranong Vikings Triathlon Club (TVTC) was established in 1997 as a swim squad by a small group of families in the Tuggeranong Valley looking to maintain some fitness, in a fun and social environment. Since this time, with a switch in focus to triathlon, our membership has steadily grown to now be in excess of 100 people of all ages, with the club continuing to pride itself on its friendly and social atmosphere, while at the same time offering both the serious and ‘not so serious’ athlete professional triathlon coaching services. Novice Program The Club offers a Novice Program in the latter half of the year as an excellent way to get started in the sport of Triathlon. It is perfect for everyone from complete beginners, to those who are looking for a structured and supported way of starting out (or returning to) the sport of Triathlon. Participants are offered 10 weeks of coaching and introduction to the four disciplines of triathlon – swimming, cycling, running, and transition. Participants are also assisted in preparing for the Novice series of triathlon events this summer. We are proud to state that we have a high number of novices who stay on after the program and become valued club members. The success of our club can be measured by representation by our members at club, territory, Australian and International levels. Our racing history The success of our club can be measured by representation by our members at club, territory, Australian and International levels. Vikings have successfully completed some amazing races including the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii, Australian Ironman, various Age Group World Championships, Long Distance World Champs, Xterra World Champs, Australian Schools Championship, Sri Chinmoy Triple Tri (Solo), Canberra Marathon, MONT 24 Hour Mountain Bike race and the Deca Ironman. Junior Program The Club offers the only Junior Triathlon Participation Program in the ACT. This program is run in conjunction with Triathlon ACT (TACT) and is designed to introduce kids to the sport of triathlon. The program currently has over 30 children participating and commits three coaches to skill development in swimming, riding, running and transition. Training sessions are provided from October to December (just before school ends for the year). Over the past three years the program has proven to be immensely successful with numbers more than tripling over the last two years. As a result of the success of the program the Club has now been approached to work with local schools to assist with running fundraising Duathlons. This is a great opportunity to encourage further development of our program and the sport whilst ensuring the local community is supported. Many of our older participants are now members of the elite squads that represent Canberra at local and state competitions.

It was confirmed during the warm up that it would be for the Australian Club Championship. So things got a little more serious but the Vikings were still confident, as they had put in a good pre season. The game kicked off in some sweltering Queensland heat, with the Vikings showing early on that they weren’t here to make up the numbers. From the start the red men dominated their opposition pack in all aspects of the game. The first points came from former Sunnybank player Tom Murday. He muscled his way over in the corner after some good build up play from the pack. Rodney Iona stood up and slotted the touchline conversion and it was game on. The next try came from an excellent counter-attacking piece of play, which involved the whole team and was finished off by captain Beau Mokotupu. After some sloppy play Sunnybank got the next score through an intercept. This slowed down the good momentum the Vikings had been building. But it didn’t take long for the Canberra boys to get themselves back into the opposition territory and get the 3rd try. JP Mynhardt finished off a nice piece of play from an attacking lineout in the far corner after some delicate hands from James Turner. This spurred on Sunnybank to pick it up they got into their impressive offloading game and after some good play scored a try in the corner. Penalties were exchanged and the score was 20-13. With the introduction of Brumbies prop Scott Sio the Vikings pack became even more impressive at set piece time. After gaining good territory again and some strong carries by the pack, Scott barged over for a try to make it 27-13 after Rodney added the extras. Vikings Club News A brief lapse in concentration led to Sunnybank slipping in for a cheap score on the half time whistle to make it 27-20 at the break. But the Vikings weren’t going to let this slip away. After the break a turnover from a scrum and 2 big passes to the far touchline gave Vikings a break, which resulted in a try from fullback Brenden Taueki. This saw the introduction of some of our young guns Colts back rower Kerry Mcinerney who got stuck in from the start and 17 year old Andrew Robinson. Robbo was only on the field when a quick lineout saw him bullet off and show no fear as he ran at the defenders beating them for fun. Still in school the young back showed he has a very bright future. With momentum back on their side Vikings went hunting for their next score. A turn over deep in their own half saw big prop JP Pradaud break and off load to winger Darragh Fanning who broke down his touchline and took on the full back to send Paula Kaho racing under the posts to add a 7 pointer. With the bench emptied and the heat not dying the game got a little scrappy towards the end and Sunnybank got in for 2 late tries. But the final say of the day came from the Vikings. Another 17 year old making his debut was fly half Willoughby Axelsen getting a great turnover on the Sunnybank line, which David Pocock would have been proud of. The ball was sent out to big Mikey Noble with a clear 1m run to the line he made some seriously hard work of dotting down the ball. Final Score 47-32 and the Vikings won the Australian Club Championship for the first time. 33 Vikings Charity Day After the great success of last year’s charity day the Vikings are proud to announce it is back again. This year we are hoping to be as successful as last year. It again will be run in conjunction with The Cerebral Palsy Alliance and Community CPS. Last year the Vikings had great success in this event by raising over $12,000 for the Cerebral Palsy Alliance. The day will also double up as the clubs Sponsors / Ladies day, so all ladies and sponsors are invited to be guests of the club and enjoy the rugby with refreshments and the after match entertainment. Last year was a very enjoyable affair with the highlight of the evening the jersey auction. Again the 1st Grade side will be wearing a specially designed jersey for this event and they will be auctioned off afterwards. The day will kick off early for the rugby and will continue onto VP3 after the rugby action is over. Please come along and support this great event, which is for a great cause and is a fun day out.
