100 Year Anniversary Carnival

South Curly haven’t run a surf carnival since around 2002 so this is a very special Centenary event for us.  The event will culminate in the running of the Curly 1000 Beach Sprint…the World’s Richest Beach Sprint!  This event has history and has attracted many many elite athletes over the years…one even arriving by helicopter from another event.  You don’t want to miss this one.

Helpers – please contact us to be part of the general work party.  You will be allocated a job on the day in teams to get things done – no experience necessary, you will be with experienced people and shown. Email: Dave Alldis on david.g.alldis@aexp.com if you can help on the day…couple of hours,the whole event or even to help with packup if you are busy until then, it all helps.  We need to form the roster week commencing 8th Oct and also roster some patrols to certain tasks to help out, so look out for more communication.

Competitors – we are encouraging as many members as possible to enter events …having a go is what we are about at South Curly and now is your chance..at your own beach for your own club.  We want to see as many blue, yellow and white caps out there as we can!

Spectators – spread the word, we want a big crowd sitting in the dunes, milling around and enjoying the spectacle.  We will have a great bbq on the viewing deck, merchandise for sale, roaming musicians and the spectacle that is a surf carnival…..tell family and friends to come on down for a great day at the beach.
