Thank you to the many members who assisted away from the beach last weekend with water safety and first aid for the triathlon on Saturday and first aid for the Fun Run on Sunday. Good luck to the Yamba SLSC members heading to Umina over the next two weeks to compete in the NSW State Titles. This weekend will see Nippers compete in the Age Championships, with the Masters competing next Wednesday and Thursday and the Opens closing the competition program, competing the following weekend. Yamba SLSC meat raffles are on every Saturday evening at the Yamba Golf and Country Club. This Saturday Ray O’Brien and Pat Ridgway will be selling tickets from 5.30pm with the draw starting at 6.30pm. With 33 fantastic meat trays to be won, go along and try your luck! More people are needed to assist with running the meat raffles. If you are able to help out, please contact Narelle at the Surf Clubs office so you can be added to the raffles roster.
