The Cannonvale Cannons’ Committee is putting finishing touches on their carnival preparations for this Saturday. The Cannons will be hosting a Winter Carnival which gives swimmers an opportunity of gaining benchmark or qualifying times to see how their winter training is going. Good luck to all the swimmers participating in the carnival.
