A Message from the President

Building is well and truly under way (actually it’s more unbuilding at this stage – I’ve seen at least 5 skips loaded and moved on).  I had a quick walk through last Friday and took a few snaps so you can get an idea of what’s happening.  Pretty much all the windows are gone, A/C units are out, internal doors are gone, plumbing gone and walls are starting to come down.  I haven’t been down to the club today (Tuesday) but I believe the roof demolition is under way.   Check out the photos below.

Many thanks to Bruce for keeping the Junior side of things under control with our reduced facilities, with a great turn out on Saturday.  Thanks Sean for doing the same with Seniors on Sunday.  I didn’t get to Middleton but heard there were some organizational issues – always wonder about carnivals at beaches that don’t have a club.

Thanks also to Jennie Charlton for coordinating our involvement with Ride the Wave program on Sunday.  Ride the Wave is a community program introducing migrants to our beaches and clubs to promote our organization and to contribute to beach safety for this at risk section of our community.

Good luck to everyone competing over the next few weeks and as always biggest thanks to those members on patrol especially now when our resources are hit with other commitments.

Regards,

Mick
