Buzzing down at Manly Beach this morning. Around 130 of us turned up for our favourite swim… bit choppy compared to recent mornings and Scotty’s Passage was closed.

Dave with an unidentifiable female.

That made him happy…

Le Boys… and who was quickest across the bay this morning? None other than Scrappy Scotty – reeling from a series of defeats, he was off Shelly Beach like a flash of lightning. No catching him today… And for me… well I was greeted back at Manly Beach as I stood up by Ghost shouting “Slap Down!” at me… gotta love this group!

I love all the little races within the group. Dave vs Buck, Vince vs Todd, Sterling vs the custard tart…

Rusty’s bag sprung a leak.

OK, over and out from me… thanks Spaniard for filling in last week. Make sure you read below. The annual Christmas party should be a cracker. Having 2 kids under two and a half means I don’t get out much… but I’ll be at this one!

B & B Fundraising Christmas Party

The B & B Christmas Party will be held on Tuesday 8th December at 6.30 pm in the Moonshine Bar (2nd Floor) at the Steyne Hotel. All swimmers and partners/friends are welcome (no under 18s unfortunately). The theme again this year is simply “Christmas”. So come dressed in your finest Christmas paraphernalia. No need to be shy as we will have the whole bar to ourselves. Finger food will be provided by the Steyne, and drinks will be at bar prices. Lots of fun and dancing are guaranteed, with music by our own band “The Troubadors”, who have generously agreed to perform free of charge for us on the night. The cost is $10 per head, with all proceeds going to the running costs of the B&B. But that’s not all. Our charity partner, the Royal Far West Children’s Home, will be running a monster raffle on the night, so please come prepared to support them. Bookings are essential. Book HERE now! Don’t miss out on this fun event, numbers are limited.
