Boardriders elect 2022 committee

The Scarborough Boardriders AGM was held on Tuesday 18th of January at Beaches Hotel Thirroul. The 2022 Committee was elected with no substantial changes to the prior year:

President: Christian DeClouett

Vice President: Shaun Warren

Treasurer: Tristen Hargreaves

Secretaries: Pete Coleman; Nic McLaren

Contest Directors: Ian Pepper; Paul Lourence; Fin McLaren.

Membership fees remain the same as last year: single member $70; family with two members $110; family with three or more members $140.

Membership is now open on www.liveheats.com/scarborough/sign-on.

Membership is likely to be capped again this year so the Committee recommends you join now to avoid disappointment.

The first Pointscore will be on Sunday 13th of February. The rest of the year’s dates are published on the clubs Facebook page and liveheats.

The National boardriders battle final in Newcastle, which Scarborough qualified in 1st place for our area, has been scheduled by Surfing Australia for 5-6 February 2022. We have booked accommodation at the Youth Hostel and encourage members or supporters to come and cheer us on.

The club has also received a grant for $2500 from Her Wave Get Her Onboard Grant Program presented by ROXY and NSW Government administered by Surfing NSW. As a result we are running a one-day action-packed development program for our female members aged 12 plus from 9am to 4pm on 15 May 2022.

The program will be delivered in collaboration with local female-owned and -operated businesses and aims to build participating surfers’ competence and confidence. The day will consist of workshops including individual goal-setting, competition training, skills development and team-building.

Special thanks to Raylee Golding for coordinating the grant application and program.
