HEATH
LATEST INFORMATIONPhil Arthur Elected as Club President for 2012
The first task Phil did was to thank Craig for his efforts and achievements as the Club President for the past two years. Craig did a fantastic job as Club President and hopefully some time in the future he will be able to take on the role again. Well done Craig! Sandy Langlands was elected as Vice President, Peter Granton as Secretary and Paul Francis was re-elected as Treasurer. What a great team! I'm sure we will see a lot of changes and new activities in the club. What a great opportunity for new members to join the club and mix with other kneeboarders, travel together, share stories and generally have fun. Phil, as the organiser of the Encounter Coast Kneeboard Classic did indicate that the event will not run this year. Cost and small number of entries (although well supported by SA Kneelos) have made it difficult to continue with the event. A big thank you must also go to the outgoing secretary Steven Beach, who has moved back to Victoria. Fangio, as the club knows him, held the Secretary role for two years, was a keen participant in all club activities and supported kneeboarding in SA by competing in State events. More known for this fine tuned driving skills, particularly on the wet and slippery roads of KI, Fangio was also an excellent cook and a bonus to have for the starving kneelos on our club trips. Thanks Steve, hopefully we will catch-up with you in the surf in the future. 2012 is shaping up to be another great year for the club. A club Calendar will be published on this website as soon as it comes available. In the mean time the next club meet is on Sunday 5 February2012 (7am meet at Seaford Car Park). See you there. |
The
Club AGM was held on Sunday with about half the membership
attending. Craig Jacobs the former Club President, after
being in the position for two years, decided to stand down as
President. Phil Arthur was
elected and agreed to stand for the President's role again.

Club Surf Trips Page
In 2011 two trips were organised. One to Kangaroo Island and the other to Yorke Peninsula and both had exceptional surf. For stories and photos go the the Club Surf Trips Page (link in navigation panel above left) or click here. |
This
page provides write-ups and photos of all club surf trips for
the current year and archives (pdf files) of previous year's
trips. The Club usually organises a number of weekend
trips away, where members can surf different surf spots and
enjoy a chat or drink at night time. It's a good time to
get to know each other. Only members are allowed on these
trips.
