Beach SLSC was announced the "Club of the Year". This is a very prestigious award to win
as it is made up of 10 different categories throughout the year and added up
at the end of the Season.
Ocean Beach won with a score of 242, 32 points ahead of Terrigal. This is a
whole club award and the Executive would like to thank all it's members,
sponsors and supporters for helping to win this award.
Central Coast surfboat rowers will form a guard of honour with their oars
tomorrow when they send off Terrigal surfboat captain Bruce Thoroughgood.

found him slumped in the Terrigal surfboat he was working on. He suffered a blod
clot to the heart but had no previous health problems.
