Volunteers wanted for disabled surfers
Central Coast Disabled Surfers Association will hold a "Smiles on Dials" event at Umina Beach on Saturday, December 7, celebrating International Day of People with Disability.
"We need large volunteer numbers to make our surfing experience safe and enjoyable," said organiser Ms Rae Fiechter.
Interested volunteers are asked to register online at http://penne.ws/ohTZRf prior to the event so places can be made available for surfers.
"Volunteering at a Smiles on Dials event consists of helping participants to and from the beach, assisting them in and out of the water and helping set up and clean up," she said.
"Volunteers do not need to know how to surf although water skills are highly valued.
"A water refill station and a rash shirt will be provided for the day, but volunteers are encouraged to bring their own wetsuits.
"A sausage sizzle will complete the festivities.
"Food is provided and smiles are always encouraged.
"Volunteers will also be accepted on the day."
