Last Nippers

Linda — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 11:23:53 +0000

As you are all aware this Sunday will be the last Sunday for the nippers for 2011, we will resume on the 8th January 2012.

This weekend we will be starting at our usual time and running a short session of nippers before our special guest arrives full of Christmas Cheer for all. What we ask you the parents to do is bring a plate of food to share with others and a wrapped gift for your child/ren (you can include siblings that will be with you) making sure the value is know more then $10, please ensure the gift has your child/rens name clearly written on it. Feel free to stay on longer for a social drink or two to round up what has been a great start to the season. Any questions please email Edith before Thursday.

Can you help this Sunday

Linda — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 07:33:07 +0000

As many may be aware this Sunday morning will see the ocean swim series and the fastest man on the sand carnivals at Suttons Beach. Last time an ocean swim series was held at our beach over 20 rescues were performed on the competitors. Because of this I would like to ask anyone who is available to please come down and assist on Sunday.

Any assistance that can be given would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
