News From The Slipway Surf Crew

Hi to all our readers,

The Slipway Surf Crew had a great start to 2023, when in the first week of March we had a fun evening get together at the Bruce’s coffee shop. There was a good turn-out with great food and a solo performance by Marc ‘The man’ Mainguard.

So, Good vibes, Good food and Great music, what more do we need for a fun evening get together at our favourite spot.

Going forward, the club has joined with the CGG – Hands off our Sea campaign and erected a signboard at the slipway. Hopefully we will get more involved as we go along.

On June 17 we will be part of the Coastal Clean Up Day. Because we are based at the slipway, the organisers –Krom Trust – allocated the stretch of coastline from the Krom to the Harbour for us to clean up. Obviously, we are hoping for a good turn-out.

A special vote of thanks go to Nikki and Ernest of Bruce’s coffee shop who offered free coffee on the day for all participants in the clean-up.

It was good to see two of our club members, Chrystal Hulett and Greg Clarke who came out tops at the Cobbles Longboard competition in PE. – WELL DONE guys !!

Cheers everyone, Aloha and enjoy the surf.

Derek Cook

Chairperson, Slipway Surf Crew
