Edition 6 17th November 2015

SOCIAL NEWS-: As you probably know by now the first of our summer Sundowners is on

Sunday the 29th of November from 4 - 8pm. Bring along your nibbles

and bring along your friends and sit back and relax away the evening

to the sounds of Single Tattooed Women, a group blessed with the

talents of a couple of our own club members. You may even feel the

need to break out a few moves.

THE DOCTOR-: Look out on Saturday afternoon 28th of November as the tension rises

when everyone’s eyes are towards the sea, searching for the first

glimpse of the world champion paddlers who will have surfed the seas

on their Ocean Molokai Skis all the way from Rottnest to our shores at

Sorrento.

They will come from as far away as Tahiti and South Africa to compete

against the finest in Australia. It is always a very exciting finish as a

couple of them battle it out for 1st place.

Come down and take a place on the shore and cheer these brave

men and women in after completing the 27km trek across the ocean. It

is a sight to behold as they all begin to land their craft on the beach

after the long and arduous paddle that is only for the fittest of

competitors.

The club will be open after 4pm so come in and enjoy a cold

bevy or two with these champions.

SOCAFE-: The cafe's menu is gradually expanding as the season gets

underway and the numbers coming in for meals is increasing as

the weather warms up.

Enjoy a bit longer on the beach and then bring the family in for a

meal on a Wednesday and Friday evening from 6.30pm -

7.30pm. The meals are cheap and very tasty thanks to our cook

Bernadette.

The bar is also open to quench the thirst of all who have the

need for a nice cold one. If you haven't already come down

and give it a try.
