The swimmers who swim in strong conditions like yesterday and today are dedicated. Nature showing all its glory.

Annie, Emma (just off the plane from the UK; maybe the Prime Minister's plane with Gay Waterhouse?) and Ian
Bit of sun
Emma brought milk choc buttons for Elaine. I know from extensive testing (eating) that there is a difference between UK, Australia and NZ Cadburys. Elaine likes the UK ones.

2022 Winter Badge Ceremony – Sunday 9th October
You’ve done the hard yards and earned your Winter Badge(s), so why not collect them personally with all the pomp and ceremony the B&B can muster.

Everyone is welcome, family, friends and swimmers alike. Bring along $10 for each badge you have earned (credit cards accepted at this event). For the first time at this event, $2 will be donated to the Royal Far West for each badge purchased on the day. So, if you can’t make it, get your friends to collect your badge for you.

Quiz Night - The Manly Mile – Tuesday 11th October
Reposting info below from Friday. Unfortunately the trivia night seems to be sold out but the raffle is on for everyone! put yourself on a waiting list in case people cancel though
It seems unimaginable that our friend, Nigel Scozzi, who taught many young locals how to save themselves and others on our beaches, would have a freak surfing accident at Queenscliff leading to life-changing spinal cord injuries.
But six months ago, this actually happened. Nigel was surfing with his son and was found unconscious in the water.
Our legendary lifeguard Wayne administered life saving resuscitation and with the help of a Careflight emergency doctor and paramedics brought Nigel back to life. Once stabilised they took our friend, teacher, mentor and surf lifesaving legend to the Royal North Shore Hospital. He hasn’t been home since.
Let’s give back some of the energy and love Nigel has put into our community by helping him back to the beaches to live with his young family, friends and community again. We need to raise funds to help modify his house for wheelchair access and to cover ongoing care, medical expenses, treatment and transport.
A portion of the proceeds will also go to Royal Far West and the environmental charity for Cabbage Tree Bay.
Come along and bring a crowd upstairs at Steyne Hotel on Tuesday 11th October for a BnB fundraiser hosted by our Quiz Master JK from 6pm. Tickets on sale Friday 16th September from midday for $35. Tables of 10 or singles all welcome
If you can’t make it, please donate at GoFundMe Support for Nigel
