Nipper boards for surf club

Umina Surf Life Saving Club recently welcomed the delivery of five new foam nipper boards for use by younger members of the club.

Publicity officer Mr Carl Krucler said the five new boards brought the club's total to nine boards.

"The club executive identified the need to replace its aging 'foamie' nipper boards, some of which were more than 15 years old, for use by members aged between eight and nine years old to gain experience in handling these craft," Mr Krucler said.

"The club has a large number of members in these age groups and many show significant potential in competition, particularly in water events."

Mr Krucler said the addition of five new boards to the club would not have been possible without the generosity of one family."

The club received a significant donation a family member who was rescued by Master's members during a training session last season.

"The donation was stipulated to be used for the benefit of the younger members," Mr Krucler said.

"They approached local businesses to donate monies on a dollar-for-dollar basis and were delighted with the response.

"Those businesses which were forthcoming included Homebrook Pty Ltd, Wendys Ice Cream at Deepwater Plaza, Shading Solutions, Lance Clark Amcal Pharmacy in Woy Woy, Campbell's Home Trade, Nathan's Cutting Shop in Umina and Newcastle Permanent at Deepwater Plaza."
