On Monday 11th October the members of the Sussex Inlet Ladies Probus celebrated their 24th Birthday with a luncheon at the Sussex Inlet RSL .
After morning tea, our Monthly Meeting was held with a decrease in attendance due to some of the ladies attending the funeral of our esteemed
member, Mavis Whitmore. Mavis was a Foundation member of our club and was a regular attendee until recently. A minutes silence was held in
respect for Mavis. A delicious Chinese Banquet was enjoyed by all in the dining room, followed by not one but four birthday cakes, generously
baked by Kate Jones. A small gift for each lady to take home was appreciated.
Next meeting will be held at the RSL at 10.00am on Monday, 14th November.

Thank you very much to “The Dragon

were there on Friday night and Saturday to

I feel that this was our biggest night yet and
many photos were taken. We could not fit

A wide range of topics were covered at our
first October meeting. Probably the one
attracting most attention was the imminent
shut down of the 2G mobile phone network.
Major telcos have announced the following
dates, Telstra December 1 2016, Optus April
1 2017 and Vodaphone September 1 2017.
The thousands of old school Nokia (and
other) 2G mobile phones don’t have much
time left, as these basic phones that we have
all, at one time, loved are reaching the end of
their days. 2G phones are simpler. They are
popular with the older generation who only
use their mobile phones for occasional calls
and emergencies. To determine if you have a
2G phone, simply Google your phone’s
number. There are any number of sites that
will tell you if you have a 2G phone.
There are many weather sites available on
the internet. The Weather Bureau has
launched a new site specifically aimed at
users of mobile devices but also suitable for
laptops and desktop computers. You will find
it at m.bom.gov.au. It offers a condensed
and reformatted version of the full website,
customised for small screens.
It is the only mobile weather service to
provide pinpointed forecasts using a 6 km
grid, giving you the most accurate and
localised information as you move around. It
can be set to a definite area or to your current
location. Information for Sussex Inlet is
streamed from Point Perpindicular.
In other news on the local front, there is
plenty of activity regarding the NBN rollout.
Checking the NBN web site for Sussex Inlet
or Berrara availability reveals only that it is
under construction with no completion date.
Helen has decided not to renew her satellite
licence and will wait for the FTTN
connection.
There was some discussion regarding the
effectiveness of the Federal Governments Do
Not Call Register. This site allows anyone in
Australia to list their home phone and mobile
phone numbers to reduce unsolicited
telemarking calls. Unfortunately some
organisations are exempt including charities,
political parties and research companies.
Also registering your mobile phone number
will not exempt you from receiving SMS
marketing.
We explored some of the hidden features in
Windows File Explorer. To configure your
Folder Options click on File and select
"Change folder and search options". You can
choose how much privacy you have by
opting to either display recent folders or keep
them hidden after File Explorer is closed
each time. It is also possible to burn files or
folders to a CD or DVD using File Explorer.
Insert a blank disc, under Share choose Burn
to Disc. There are 2 options, "Like a USB
flash drive" which lets you read and write
files to the disc many times which may not
be compatible with some CD or DVD
players or "With a CD or DVD player" if you
plan to play your disc on a fairly new home
stereo.
We meet at the Sussex Inlet RSL at 10.00am
on the second, third and 4th Tuesday of the
month. Admission is $2 which includes
morning tea. Visitors are always welcome. A
link to our monthly newsletter can be found
under Computer Club at sussexinlet.info.

October 13, 2016 Media Release
Federal Member for Gilmore, Ann Sudmalis,
has marked the International Day of the Girl
Child by delivering an impassioned speech
on the rights of women and girls.
Speaking in Parliament on Tuesday evening,
Mrs Sudmalis stressed the importance of
improving education for girls, creating
opportunities for independence and better
lives.
“Education for girls in developing countries
is a big challenge. We have improved, but
there’s a lot to do,” she said.
Sexual and reproductive health remained a
major issue in many parts of the world, Mrs
Sudmalis said, as “many communities are
often in the dark about sexual health
practices”.
“Early pregnancy is particularly dangerous
for adolescents. Girls aged 15 to 20 are twice
as likely to die in childbirth as those in their
20s, and girls under the age of 15 are five
times as likely to die.
Mrs Sudmalis said she had seen
heartbreaking scenes overseas caused by
negative attitudes to girls.
“I have previously spoken of volunteering in
India, but, even before that, our family fudge
business supported a school on the rural
outskirts of Chennai,” Mrs Sudmalis told the
Federation Chamber.
“I visited this school and its orphanage. The
nursery wire baskets were filled with young
babies, some with an obvious disability but
others simply left to die by their
poverty-stricken parents because the child
had the misfortune to be a girl.
“There was one poor baby about 10 weeks
old who had been left near a river under the
shade of a scrubby tree. Unfortunately the
child had been left near an ants' nest and,
when she was rescued, she was covered in
ants—on her ears, eyes, nose and mouth. The
baby died, but she had been abandoned
because she was a girl.
“Clearly we can see why recognising the
International Day of the Girl Child is so
important.”
Mrs Sudmalis said child marriage remained
“a persistent problem”.
“Many girls are forced to leave school and
have children early, and often they are
vulnerable to abusive relationships,” she
said.
“Every year almost 15 million girls are
married before the age of 18, and one in nine
girls in the developing world are married by
the age of 15.”
Work was also needed in Australia “to
encourage our girls to believe in themselves,
to encourage them to be the best they can
be,” Mrs Sudmalis said.
“A survey recently released in Australia by
Plan International and Our Watch revealed
that nine in 10 Australian girls believe they
are not treated equally to boys.
“To quote the United Nations, adolescent
girls have the right to a safe, educated and
healthy life, not only during these critical
formative years but also as they mature into
women.
“If effectively supported during the adolescent years, girls have the potential to change
the world, both as the empowered girls of
today and as tomorrow's workers, mothers,
entrepreneurs, mentors and political leaders.”

Overnight the Shoalhaven Independents led
by councillor Greg Watson have achieved
two major wins for the community
Shoalhaven City Council following notices
of motion submitted by Greg Watson have
agreed not to close any waste transfer station
and retain the iconic helicopter at its present
location on the southern side of the
Shoalhaven River Bridge at Nowra.
Councillor Watson said, "this has been a
major win for common sense the helicopter
will be retained in its present location and the
land it sits on eventually excised from the
parent parcel the old tourist information
Centre site."
In respect of waste transfer stations Council
had planned to potentially close some of
these remote stations as a cost-cutting
exercise and has now agreed to retain them
all in an operational condition. Commenting
further on this Councillor Watson said, "this
is another win for common sense as had
these facilities been closed in part or all it
would have imposed a massive burden on
residents living in remote villages and
additionally encouraged illegal dumping of
waste in bushland."
Concluding his comment Councillor Watson
said that the Shoalhaven Independent
Councillors intended to keep the election
commitments and this was just the start of
what will be an enormous battle to keep and
maintain essential facilities needed by the
community to preserve Shoalhaven's lifestyle
Councillor Watson concluded.

On the night of Sunday 25th of September
2016, Bernice Tye, Greg, Sue and Peter
Boyle experienced great loss as their house
caught fire while they were still inside.
The fire engulfed the house within minutes
and the family had to escape with no time to

NEWS FLASH

Fancy a whole state the size of South
Australia being plunged into darkness for
several hours, it beggars belief and shows
our heavy reliance on electricity.
I remember, as a child, going to my
Grandma's house on a property near Tathra
and she didn't have electricity connected. The
house was very old and not fit for electrical
wiring. For a child it was an adventure, the
kerosene lamps at night, collecting wood for
the chip heater to bathe and for the wood
stove and big open log fire. She even had a
kerosene powered refrigerator. I wouldn't
care for that life today.
Electricity, generally, and the electric light
specifically were probably the greatest
discoveries/inventions of the Industrial
Revolution. Without the electric light, life
would be very different. We'd all be pretty
much living in the dark, at least after sunset!
Obviously there would be many other
inconveniences without electricity, but light
would be the most significant. I note the
Federal
Energy
Minister
said
the
Government has a responsibility to keep the
lights on. Can you imagine living in the dark
for any great period? Darkness isn't good!
The ninth plague that God imposed upon
Pharaoh and Egypt when He was telling him
to release the Israelites was darkness. For
three days the whole of Egypt was plunged
into darkness. The only exception was where
the Israelites lived, for they had light in their
dwellings. [Exodus 10.21-23]
Darkness isn't good!
The vast majority of people would prefer to
be in the light rather than the dark.
But then there is natural light and spiritual
light. What intrigues me is the number of
people who want to live in natural light but
who scorn spirtual light. Jesus Christ said He
is the light of the world, obviously in a
spiritual sense not a natural one. He
continued "He who follows Me shall not walk
in darkness, but have the light of life.” [John
8.12] Earlier He made the observation that
"men loved darkness rather than light"
[John 3.19].
So spiritual darkness has been around for a
long time, though it has increased
dramatically, at least in Western Culture, in
the last few decades. King Solomon, who
lived around the 10th Century BC and who
the Bible describes as the wisest king ever,
wrote "18When people do not accept divine
guidance, they run wild..."[Proverbs29.18]
We might not be living in a society that is
actually running wild but we do live in one
where people are almost obsessed with
"doing their own thing". Other versions of
the Bible say the people cast off restraint.
They let it all hang out, if it feels right do it.
We all know the phrases. What it's doing to
our society is causing a spiritual blackout.
Maybe not as bad as the SA blackout
because there are places and people of light
around but the consequences will inevitably
be much worse for those who don't find the
Light.

Absolutely perfect conditions for a single
stableford, and you can judge from the scores
what shape the course was in - the run is
back - although we did have to play without
the benefit of preferred lies. All holes were
open which was also a bonus.
Results - Winner - Judy Clay 45 pts (not a
typo); Runner up - Stella Kelly, 44pts (also
not a typo).
Nearest the Pins - (4th) C. Baker-Turley;
(5th) C. Kemp; (7th) R. Whittaker;

Thanks to C.B.T. for Starting and to Kaye
and Lavon on Cards.
What a great weekend we had down at
Bateman's Bay - the golf was okay too.
Wendy McKay carried on her 2016 form to
take out Div 2 Scratch Runner- up in the 36
Hole Event, beaten on a countback would
you believe.....that darn last putt, or was it
the last of the champers to blame? Both
Lavon and Robyn managed a ball in the ball
run down on Saturday and Sunday
respectively, but the rest of us just had to be
happy with playing on a great course.
The WGI District Tournament took place on
the following Monday and Tuesday.
Stella Kelly obviously loved the Kiama
conditions and came home with the
following titles - WGI Medal - Runner up,
72 nett; NSW Women's District Medal, Div
3 - Winner, 72 nett (Progressing to State
Finals now Stella) and on the Tuesday daily
event, Div 3 - Winner, 72 nett. What a great
debut Stella - congratulations and well done
from all your club mates - this bodes well for
Merimbula.

11th October
It was one of those days where the wind
jacket was on and off as those persistent cool
southerly winds again blew across the course
under a beautiful blue sky and sun. The
course is in excellent condition and starting
to provide some good run and the greens are
a picture after the recent coring.
A field of 58 members attended today to
compete for the October Monthly Medal
which was conducted over the back 9 holes
of the course. A slight change to the
presentation format today with the ball
rundown split equally between the three
grades ( i.e. Ladies, Div 1 and Div 2 Mens).
Our thanks to Heather McLure, Bev
Campbell and Glenn Ferrier for setting up
the competition for the day, Garry Miskell
and Steve Newlan for the starting duties,
Lavon Byrnes for the card checking., Bob
Rich for the raffle and Dave Ball and Les
Clark for the BBQ duties. In the Ladies
event Carol Hancock produced a stand out
effort to come home with a nett score of 29
to take out the winners purse and the medal.
Anne Lawler also had a great round to post a
sub par round of 31 but had to settle for the
runners up prize. The ball run down in this
event included Irene DeWeerdt and Colleen
Durand (32), Judy Clay(33) , Joyce Douglass
(36), Caryl Baker-Turley(36) and Bev
Campbell(38).
An amazing three way tie at the top of the
Mens Div 1 event so a play off will need to
take place in November between Allan
Neems, Steve Newlan and Peter Reilly to
determine the medal winner. However the
winners purse on the day was decided by a
count back and this saw Allan Neems
crowned the victor with Steve Newlan as
runner up. Its a tough school Peter although
you did win a ball in the run-down. Each of
these guys carded net scores of 33. In the
Men's Div 2 event the master luderick
fisherman in Noel Wade posted the best
score of the day, a net 28 to blitz the field
and take home the cheque and the medal. As
to the runner-up we had four players each
carding a net score of 32. They were Ed
Douglass, Bill McLure, Les Clark and Derek
Woodward with the count back awarding the
runners up prize to Ed Douglass.
The nearest the pin on the Weymark Family
sponsored 13th for the Men was won by Bob
Bensley but none of the Ladies could find
this green to win the ball up for grabs. The
nearest the pin on the par 3, 14th sponsored
by Geoff Fountain for the Men was won by
Allan Neems and for the ladies the winner
was Joyce Douglass(sponsor Ken Hill). The
crows nest was not won. The nearest the pin
on the drive and pitch 16th went to Reg
Gunning for the Men (sponsored by Mick
McCaffery) and for the Ladies Heather
McLure (sponsored by the Hardge family).
The drive closest to the flag on the last went
to Caryl Baker-Turley. Our wild card
winners were Mal Crealy, Lavon Byrnes and
Bob Rich. Our lucky raffle winners were
Glenn Ferrier, Keith Hanley, John Lewis (2)
Joyce Douglass, Ivan Webber, Mike Fynch
and Ross Ferrier. Next week a bit of fun – a
yellow ball event and our charity day so don't
forget to bring a gold coin for a donation.
Finally a very happy birthday to Caryl Baker

This year marked the 20th anniversary of the
Albert (Puppy) Gibson Classic held at
Sussex Inlet Golf Club on 14th October.
Albert, a long serving holiday maker to
Sussex Inlet, moved here following his
retirement from Public Works.
Albert was a plasterer and in later years a
Contract Supervisor. Albert’s dad also
worked for Public Works and was known as
“The Dog”, hence Alberts nickname
“Puppy”. Many former workers and friends
have contributed over the last 20 years and
it’s has been a great annual celebration.
The group would like to thank the Sussex
Inlet community and golf club for their
hospitality throughout the past two decades.
Allan Black
Well – the 2016 Gentlemen’s Club Masters
Tournament has now been “run and won”!
Now Royal Sussex doesn’t often play host to
internationally acclaimed events but this year
was an exception given the condition of the
course and the quality of the field. It’s fair to
say that this year attracted probably the best
field yet – it was said that “no finer group of
geriatric golfers could be found in any aged
care facility throughout Australia”. When it
comes to geriatric golfers there can be no
question that Sussex Inlet produces some of
the world’s best. Readers will recall that
round one of the championship was played
last week when local retired “Sparkie” Johny
Ringk was leading the field by a country
mile. “Sparkie” had been having a bit of a
“lay off” for a few weeks leading up to the
event and was at unbackable odds to put on a
good show. He was closely followed in the
run up to the second round championship by
“Commodore” Campbell and “Sparrow”
Fynch. These two also had exceptional first
rounds and while a referral to ASADA was
mooted it was rejected on the basis that none
of them would be able to play two good
rounds in a row no matter what performance
enhancing arthritis medications they were

his 93rd Birthday
This years winners, Albert Gibson (37), Trevor Eustace (37),
Ray Dwyer (40), Greg King (36)
taking. The rest of us were just biding our
time knowing that this little “pack” would
come back to us in the final round this week.
Now - this week was always going to be a
tight contest. The day looked fine but there
was a biting wind from the South which no
amount of pre match liniment was going to
really keep at bay. There was some nervous
banter at the tee but there was also a look of
steely eyed determination amongst the rabble
and a “take no prisoners” attitude to the rest
of the field. The conditions were foul but no
one was taking a backward step (lest they fall
off a coppler’s log and break a hip). “Foxy”
Fred Paine was heard to say that no 93 year
old should be forced into playing in these
conditions especially when he had left his
spencer and long johns at home! These
“Gents” are a tough lot! “Like a beer after
the round Fred?” No thanks – I’ll just have a
double expresso.”26 players lined up for
today’s event plus one ring in who was
introduced as Vince Whitford (“Whitty’s
brother) who was supposed to be his caddie
on the day but looked suspiciously like a
recently retired PGA pro. Just saying! ”So –
the results! Who would believe it! Two of
last week’s winners actually managed
2016 Gentleman’s Masters Champion
(both nett and scratch) “Sparrow” with

19
another good round. In first place, with a
total nett score of 61 (31 this week and 30
last week) is the newly crowned masters
winner Mike “Sparrow” Fynch. Well done
“Sparrow”.
In second place was John
“Sparkie” Ringk (whose performance
enhancing medications obviously needed a
little extra this week) and in third place was
fast finishing Bill “Boof” McLure (need to
start taking the medications a week earlier
next time “Boof”).“Commodore” Campbell
was well in the mix last week but
unfortunately he played with my mediocre
little group this week and so suffered as a
consequence. And so for the other results.
Nearest the flag winner this week was
“Sparkie” Ringk. Nearest the pin winners
were “Woody” Woodward for the 10th,
“Sparrow” Fynch for the 11th, 14th and 17th,
“Louie the Fly” Lewis for the 12th, “The
Ferret” Ferrier for the 13th, “Sparkie” Ringk
for the 15th, “Terracotta” Clay for the 16th
and “Professor Julius” Miller for the 18th.
Wild cards were won by “Mac” Dobell and
”Woody”
Woodward.
Finally,
we
acknowledge the generosity of all ten of our
hole sponsors, and the support of Pato’s cafe.
Until next time.

The long weekend arrived and so did the
winds. With sailors Ron and Jeff making the
effort to come and race, a race needed
sailing. On Saturday only the boys went out,
and it was scary! A big congratulations goes
to Tom sailing Vi Agro for his win in
extreme conditions. Sunday started very
light, with us all drifting around the course
until the winds came up. Jeff sailing Havoc
was the winner.
I think we were all too busy having friends
and family down, so didn't think to move our
boats from the lakeside. The huge gusts on
Tuesday night sent our fleet all over the
place. Nearly every boat had damage. A big
thanks to Tom who has already managed to
fix most of the boats.

CLUB REPORT
The final District Championship was played
this week, this time the Minor Pairs. We had
two teams competing – one was Kerry
Sawyer and Jan Klein, the other was Carol
Morris and June Bailey. The first day was
played on the very slick Milton/Ulladulla
greens which both teams managed well until
the wind blew up. Unfortunately, we were
blown off the green and both teams lost 2210.
On Tuesday, our members played social
bowls. The Spider went to Sharon Blagrove
and the Lucky Door to Carolyn Fenton, our
hard-working and efficient Secretary. The
winning rink was Kim Bennett, Roma
Codey and Carol Carroll, with runners-up
being Carolyn Fenton, Lynne O’Shea and
June O’Keefe.
On Thursday, we were driven off the green
by rain, so lunch came early. It seemed a
wise move to avoid the prevalent flu doing
its rounds at the moment. Carol Carroll won
the Spider. The winning rink went to Marina
Harris, Judy Jackson and Carol Carroll with
runners-up Jean Codey, Pat Thomas and
Kathy Strong. The winner of the Lucky
Door was Carol Carroll. That was the
trifecta for Carol!
Daylight Savings Bowls times: We will be
starting a half-an-hour earlier during the
summer. Morning tea is at 9am and games
begin at 9.30. Interested in playing bowls?

do, so 'don't fuss, dear; get on with it.'

JK
Winner of the 2016 Rookies Trophy
about to be presented by
President David Woodbridge to
Wayne Whybrow (L) with Runners-up Les
Murray (CR) and Matt Griffiths
Wednesday 12th October.
From all accounts it was a good day for a
game with Jim Sigsworth and Bob May
taking home the Chickens with Ken Hewer,
Owen Milgate and Argus Tuft taking home
the vouchers. Raffle Loot went to Les
Murray, T. Shields, Tony Slaby, Ray
Hadson, Bob May and Postie.
No wrong Biases to report but there was, I
believe, plenty of practice going on during
the week with the rookies vying for the title
of ‘Rookie of the Year’ which is to played on
October 15/16.
October 14th Friday Morning Bowlers.
Good to be back home and get the bowls out
of the bag and then have some ‘normal food’
after two weeks of exotic dishes on the high
seas on board the Pacific Pearl. It was
Bruce’s Kitchen today with a pot of savoury
Curried Mince on hot buttered toast for the
five rinks of hungry bowlers.
Joe Farrugia threw a couple of doubtful
bowls, claiming they were ‘wobblers’ but did
pay up for one as a wrong bias, thanks Joe
for the donation to the SCOTI JAR and the
good humour. John Vantax got pinged as
well as Ken Hewer and they made their
contribution to the jar also.
The Raffle Loot went to Peter (have you
heard this one) Bailey for FOUR but gave
three back for a redraw, John (I never win
anything) Vantax, Ron Clarke-Bruce,
gentleman Jim Paul and Joe Farrugia.
Saturday 15th and 16th October.
ROOKIES TROPHY
One of the most important events on the
calendar is the Rookies Trophy. Giving an
introduction to competition play to the newer
members as well as giving our selectors a
guide for future players to be part of our
Pennants teams as Pennants season starts in a
few months time. We had seven rookies this
year with games being played on a Round
Robin format of eight ends each set over two
days.
Saturday saw three games being played in
the afternoon and with three players having
won all three of their matches going into
Sunday morning, it was shaping up to be a
tight contest. Wayne Whybrow and Les
Murray closely followed by Matt Griffiths
emerged as most likely to take out the title,
going into the last game on Sunday
afternoon. But it was Wayne Whybrow who
outplayed Les Murray on the day to take the
title with Jim Mackender defeating Matt
Griffiths, knocking Matt out of the title chase
and a play-off with Wayne. Both Matt and
Les tied for Runners-up on equal points.

‘Challenging’ would be the word to describe
the wind conditions last Saturday when
members of Sussex-Basin Yacht Club took
to the Basin for a race on the inside course.
A scratch start with a 1pm kick off, skippers
were scratching their heads with the wind
fluctuating between 5 and 15 knots, the odd
gust of a bit more in between holes that left
the boats floundering. That said, decisions
were made, sails went up and the pre-race
tactics began off course side, when the
hooter went (thanks to committee boat crew
Phil and Ray) two boats were forced to restart in a warm and tricky north west breeze.
The revised Inside course that proved
popular last year is programmed for the new
season so not only was there the wind to
contend with, keeping track of which leg and
where to next kept the crews busy!
A clean start by Southern Cross (Greg,
Lynne and Billy) and Gone Too Far (Greg,
Ronda and a guest crew member) saw them
clear the fleet quite quickly, Ting Around
(Andrew and the boys) got a good start
holding
their
course
with
steely
determination in the flukey breeze.
Never far off the mark at the start was John
Aney and crew Ken on Fun, Serendipity
(Dick and Darren) hot on Fun’s transom, the
Chicks (Liz and Robyn) and Sussex RSL
(Glenn and crew) peeled away from the
committee boat and took on the restart in a
little more breeze.
The wind came and went, some skipper
decisions were gold, some weren’t and
picking the productive shift was a real chore
in the up and down wind that swung from
north west to west, to the north and north
east and back.
Spinnakers up and down (some on a jaunty
angle) and some stayed in the bag on the shy
runs, it really was a race to test patience,
tactics and temperaments!
Line honours went to Sussex RSL with
Southern Cross just seconds away, Gone Too
Farr next over, Ting Around with Fun also
just seconds away, a solid finish by the
Chicks, Serendipity called it home time in a
building north-easter.
On corrected time is was Andrew Bonnette’s
Farr - ‘Ting Around who got the gong (.695)
2nd Fun (.695) 3rd Cheeky Chick (.654) 4th
Sussex RSL, 5th Southern Cross (.783) 5th
Gone Too Farr (.768)
Thursday sailors will tomorrow sail a
handicap event and next Saturday, October
22, sailors will be on the Outside course with
a scratch start.

WALKING
GROUP
Now that the cold
weather is here it is a
great time to sit beside
the fire and relax while
reading a good book.
Don’t forget all the
preloved books that are
available from the
Lions Club which is situated in
Jacobs Drive opposite the
Peace Park.
Thursdays 8.00am
Our reverse river walk was a great success
on Thursday. We had a visitor from
Adelaide with us and we all assured her that
usually the weather was warm and sunny.
Even though the weather looked threatening
the rain did not appear and we were able to
complete the whole walk. Despite a very
brisk and chilly wind I was pleased to note
that everyone managed to make it to the end
turnaround point. This has not always
happened lately! By the time we returned
Jenny had the Camp Kitchen ready for the
Pop Up Cafe and like magic, tea, coffee
machines, banana bread, scones and carrot
cake materialised from seemingly nowhere!
Once again we seemed to spend an equal
amount of time socialising as walking. Next
week we will do the Fishermans Loop walk.
This is slightly longer but a lovely walk
along the bush tracks. The next walks will
be: 20th October Fisherman’s Loop. Meet at
Cuddy cafe. 7th October Beach and Lake.
Meet at Cuddy Cafe.3rd November Alamein
Steps. Meet at Alamein carpark.

The sun was out and the surf conditions
perfect for the Sussex Inlet and District Surf
Life Saving Club Open day on Sunday.
Visitors to the Club enjoyed a sausage sizzle
while exploring the club facilities and
equipment.
Again the calm conditions provided perfect
for our Bronze Medallion and Surf Rescue
Certificate trainees to paddle out on a rescue
board and run-through rescue drills.
Many people are asking, how can I
participate in life saving and achieve my
Bronze Medallion?
Training runs every Sunday from 10:00, with
a mix of theory and practical sessions. There
is no set start or end date, as the training
continues until participants are confident in
their skills. The training group is ever
growing, with a wide variety of age groups
and skill sets, so if you are interested why
not come along.
Nippers will this week be at the Sussex Inlet
Aquatic Centre from 10:00am Sunday, for
the start of season proficiency swim and
float. Families who missed the two
registration days, but would still like to be
involved in this great junior activities
program can sign-up on the day.
