Dear Nipper Families, Happy New Year! Welcome to the second half of the season. I hope you all had a great break and enjoyed the festive season. Nippers is scheduled to resume tomorrow. However, due to the forecast of hazardous surf conditions and marine wind warnings for Sunday, January 19th, we are closely monitoring the weather. I will send out an email later today with an update regarding Nippers for tomorrow. We have two carnivals fast approaching. PDB GC U11-U13 CARNIVAL held at Bilinga SLSC on Saturday 01 February 2025, PDB YOUTH (U11-U14) CHAMPIONSHIPS held at North Kirra SLSC on 07 – 09 February 2025. We currently do not have any competitors registered for the PDB GC Carnival, which will take place at Bilinga. This carnival is an excellent fundraising opportunity for our club. Earlier this month, you should have received an email from our club president, John Hamery, inviting you to register as a volunteer for the carnival. Please respond to this email if you can volunteer your time and support our club. I will be attending the carnival and will need additional help to run our Nippers BBQ. For the families keen to enter the PDB Youth Championship Carnival I will send out an email soon with more details. I look forward to seeing you all this half of the season at Bilinga. Please keep an eye out for emails regarding Nipper updates this afternoon.
