Today was characterised by lots of swimmers, runners, coffee drinkers, surfers, flies, kayakers, wall watchers and life savers! It was action packed outside the surf club, on the ramp, the beach, and in the water. What a great atmosphere! Crisp water temps upon entry ensured we all worked ourselves around to the Point in a brisk manner. Lively was the order of the day 🙂
Watch out – you’re on candid camera!

2016 Calendars
The 2016 B&B calendars are now on sale. Get your copy from Ian any day at the swim, or order online HERE. They make a great Christmas gift for family and friends, here or overseas. This year the calendars are even more impressive in a larger A3 format, all for the same cost as last year – just $15 each.
Parking
B&B members do not have permission to park in any car spot or bay that belongs to the surf club. Please adhere to this rule. There is plenty of parking in the Council car park at no charge to you.
Staying safe
Remember that there are no badges for scaring yourself silly! While it is great to extend your boundaries, it is important to know your limits. Also, if you have a bit more experience, keep an eye out for new swimmers who might need company. Do read these excellent tips on staying safe in the surf. To read, or even download, click here.
