Date:- 14th Tuesday April 

All club members welcome and encouraged.

Agenda:- Positions in the club, Up coming events, Plan for the year and any

Call Chris Thirkettle with any questions 0410582458. 

After our Race Director spoke with the Life Guard appointed by the Council on Saturday afternoon who advised against racing due to the lack of beach, we were left with no decision but to cancel the event.  We apologise for those of you who made arrangements in advance, but unfortunately we cannot go against their call.  Clause 5 of the Conditions of Racing provided by the Gold Coast City Council states "You are required to abide by any direction issued by the Lifeguard Superintendent for the area".  Our decision is not made lightly and if could be avoided, would be.

If you look on the surf cam pics taken during the morning you will see there was no way we could have held an event in these conditions ie. no beach.  We leave our decision until Saturday afternoon to make a call.  Sometimes conditions can change where winds are not pushing water further up the beach but yesterday wasn't the case.  We don't have a crystal ball.  It is unfortunate, but we'll attempt to obtain a permit to replace this event.

 You may suggest that "don't ask the lifeguard" but at the end of the day, ignorance is not an excuse.
