World Championship Belly Splash Competition at North Van's North Shore Winter Club

Jul 16, 2005

By Catherine Barr

 

IT may have changed a bit over the years, but the World Championship Belly Splash (formerly known as Belly Flop) competition is a long-standing North Shore tradition. Held at the North Shore Winter Club, teams adopt a theme and must win over the crowd as well as the judges. Proceeds benefit the lifesaving society of B.C. and the C.H.I.L.D. Foundation.

Vancouver's best events and celebrity functions are all archived here. Vancouver pubs, clubs, nightclubs, gala events and fundraisers are included. Thanks for viewing.

Due to server capacity, you will not be able to access or click through to the larger photographs. With over 250,000 unique visits each month, our site would quickly exceed the amount of memory needed.

If you would like to receive a copy of a photograph, then please send an email and enclose the details of the event, the date, the name, the photo number and the names of the people in the photograph. Also, for security reasons, I prefer not to email copies of pictures to anyone other than the people who are actually in the photo. Thanks.
