Gear Stewart .
Big thanks to PT (Peter Turner) for taking on the gear stewart job. My wife is stoked that I am not crowding up the place here. I am aiming at getting a club trailer this year that can store the gear and be used by the club for trips (like this Saturday) and also DW races.

Paddle Power Trainer
I used this at a training session on the school holidays with a bunch of club members a found it fantastic. It gives you a good workout whilst also working on your technique. Kelly Margetts has offered all the club members a 20% discount if they proceed to buy one.
If you go to the website and when they go to the checkout there's a place for a coupon and if they put in "Kelly" as the code you can get my discount which is 20% off. Go to the website below and check it out.

Club Road Trip and Surf Comp
Noosa Beach Boys SUP CLUB have invited our club to a surf comp on the 4th of March. This will be a Noosa Beach and will take the place of the March Club Day. This will be the week before the Noosa Festival of Surfing comp. I encourage all club members to make the road trip to compete.

Money making opportunity for the club... HELP REQUIRED
Surfing Qld has offered our club the opportunity to set up the Regional Coast of Origin Titles.
Ok Ok don't duck for cover as it is not that much work. They will pay the club $800 to do it. We do not have to worry about registrations, draws, judges or tabulation. We just have to set up and pack up each of the 2 days.

Our tasks would be:
1.Set up 2 Marquees for the judges, announcers and tabulation crew.
2.Provide the first aid kit.
3.Provide the tables for the judges / announcers
4.Provide the PA system
5.Provide a generator.
Pretty simple heh..
We would have to set up and pack up on both Saturday and Sunday. To take on the task I would like 8 volunteers to help out. I will get a grant for the bigger PA system.
Is there a club member that has a generator????
As for a heat timer we can burrow or buy our own.
Please let me know by Friday if you can help.
The dates are the 21 and 22 of July

Another ROAD TRIP
