DONATION OF OLD SERVICEABLE IRB AND MOTOR FOR NEW NIPPER CLUB
Kioloa community group have decided to start a stand-alone Nipper club associated with Mollymook SLSC. The nippers will run at Kioloa beach some 30 km from Mollymook. The branch is allocating substantial funds and gear to get the group up and running with boards and tubes etc however they still need an IRB to hold the events. This is a big venture and the community is a very isolated section of the South Coast. Mollymook is already stretched with the club providing gear and patrolling three beaches over the summer holiday period. Any clubs that have an old serviceable IRB and motor that can assist please contact Tony Dale SLSNSW Southern Coordinator on M;  0409 461 889 E This email address is being protected from spambots.
