Wave Warriors 2012 will be held over three days from January 18th. Entry forms and event schedule are on the Wave Warriors website. Enter early and avoid the late fee. Events are designed for maximum participation for all range of abilities. Unlike other carnivals, participants can attempt all sand and water disciplines. Come and meet your favourite stars the current Nutri-Grain Iron Man Series. It's a great family event so we hope to see you there.

It's that time of the year again. Join us for the surf club Christmas get together at the Brewery on Wednesday the 14th December. The cost is $20 a head and will include some food and a few drinks. If you'd like to come, you can pay David Meredith, Matt Sweeney or the office by Monday the 12th. If you don't get a chance to pay in advance, you can do so on the night. Hope to see you all there!

The Member Services team is excited to announce the Surf Life Saving NSW development opportunities for the 2011/12 season. If you are a member who is interested in these programs, be one of the first to prepare your nomination and present it to your club and branch by the due dates.
