| NOTICES Invitation for the 1998 State Championships to be held during Beaumont Neches River Festival The Beaumont Parks and Recreation Department and the
Beaumont Convention and Visitors Bureau have invited TCRA
to hold our State Championship Races (USCA Classes)
during the Neches River Festival April 26-27, 1998. The
proposed course would be from Collier's Ferry
Recreational Area upstream to Riverfront Park and back a
distance of 8.14 miles. If TCRA chooses to be part of the Neches River
Festival, refreshments, awards and in-kind support may be
available from local sponsors. Primitive camping at the
race site, proximity to East Texas and Lousiana canoe
clubs and youth paddling group in nearby Lumberton, Texas
are addtional considerations. If this interests you
please indicate on the survey form in this newletter. Taylor Lake Race Cancelled Regretfully the Bayou City Whitewater Club decided not
