ANOTHER great clubbie weekend was had by all, starting on Friday afternoon with the Nippers in the Net on their boards, undeterred by the rain! A super-hot Saturday Twilight Nippers made it hard to get the kids out of the water, a relaxing afternoon with a mix by DJ Matt for all. An early start on Sunday morning had many backing up again for more, setting up for another branch carnival on Main Beach, Narooma.

It was the most number of Narooma competitors we can remember participating in a senior carnival for a long time. It is especially great to see Melissa, Madelyn, Narelle and Gary competing in their first ever surf carnival, after having attained their Bronze Medallion’s earlier this season. The morning began with the boats, Narooma entering two crews, followed by ski and surf races, board and ironman events in the water. The sprint and flag events continued in the afternoon, no-one game to leave as to not miss out on the entertaining display of the seniors.
Another great event hosted by Narooma SLSC, credit goes to everyone who helped, participated, clapped and cheered. Thank you to all the competitors, officials and water safety personnel who travelled from clubs across the branch who made the day possible.
