AMONG the hundreds set to be involved in the 2020 Wreck2Reef will be the City of Greater Geelong Bellarine Ward councillor Jim Mason.<\/p>\n

Mason has ties to the Bellarine beyond being its ward representative. His father was Queenscliffe mayor and Cr Mason himself was raised and schooled in the area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Cr Mason says, to him, Wreck2Reef is a celebration of the community he is so closely tied to.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
“I enjoy the community, the spirit that’s involved in it, and all the different age groups and everyone gets involved. I think it’s a great event.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The event is organised and run largely through Indented Head Yacht Club volunteers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Cr Mason said he is he is grateful to those who give their time to ensure the event goes ahead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
“These things just don’t happen on their own. All these different venues that provide outlets for people to exercise and develop community spirit are worth supporting.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The calm waters around Indented Head makes the race accessible to people of a variety of skills.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Cr Mason himself said he is not anticipating breaking any records.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
“I don’t necessarily like to think as far as I’m concerned as a race because I’m sort of a tail-ender more than a front-ender.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
“I’m looking forward and I hope I won’t be breathless when I finish.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The race will take place on February 8.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
