Club
Shop - Web Site
New gear has arrived including polo shirts which look very smart as well as some T-Shirts with Club logo and “Bronte – Where God Surfs” on the back. They look good and are attractively priced. See Roley, Peta or even me at the office.
Also the latest in race gear – Men’s skins/race shorts (okanooeys) - special price $70 (normal retail price up the Junction is $120).
Club Ball - CANCELLED
Due to a lack of support the Club Ball at the AJC has been cancelled. All budgeting was undertaken with a minimum of 700 people to make it a success. Because we couldn’t get the numbers we are down the tubes by several thousand dollars. Those who have paid will get there money back.
However the good news is that the ball will be replaced by a function at the Club BUT limited to 200 people. This function will be operated on a cost basis but with the intention of re-couping our commitments for the ball via raffles etc. It will be a food and drink inclusive affair with a band – should be a good turn. Cost will be $75 per head. Details will be emailed shortly.
Competition
Well we only have the Aussies to report on. Only a small contingent went west with mixed results. I don't have a detailed report on how we went except to say in the Masters Ted Clifford got amongst the medals in Ironman and Ski whilst Gayle Dundas really cleaned up with 3 Gold and 1 Silver. Harries also got a medal or two.
In the Open Anthony “Harries” Carroll got gold & silver medals in the open board riding and Malibu.
That’s all the results I have but will put in a complete list when they come to hand.
Board Lockers
The Board of management has endorsed the recommendation by the sub-committee regarding the installation of board racks in the men’s change room. There will be sufficient space for approximately 28 boards. Designs for the racks are currently being investigated.
