Any members who were unable to make Sundays proficiency test needs to contact Club Captain James Ryan as soon as possible.

Congratulations to Yamba Nipper Kalani Ives who won the U10’s Cudgen Classic Ironperson event on Saturday.

Well done to all our nippers who tested their board and swimming skills in the tricky surf conditions on Sunday. Congratulation to U9’s Declan Simcich, our Nipper of the Week!
