Christmas Day 2021

Christmas Day 2021

General Club News Surf Club Events

With Covid’s most recent variant, Omicron, hanging over every planned social activity like the sword of Damocles, it was surprising and pleasing in equal measure to see a good number of our members drop down to the beach on Christmas Day morning for a surf, even if we could not gather for a sociable glass of wine, spirit or coffee to share the occasion post-surf. The waves were a fine festive gift for our surfers and the banner picture shows Otis, Harris and Caz arriving for the splash. Here are some of the other participants caught on camera – my apologies to any member who made the effort but was not found by my lens. We were grateful to be able to share the morning with friends in these troubled times and hope that we may see a safer outlook in the New Year and maybe a return to normality by the time we look to Christmas 2022.

Stay safe, everyone! Love and best wishes from Saints Boardriders.

The picture shows a welcome installation on the side of our building, courtesy of Paul Haase of The Yellow Canary. He has sourced and donated this defibrillator machine which is now mounted and available for public use beside the door to the disabled toilet on the car park below the clubhouse.

Within the weatherproof casing is the lifesaving machine which has full instructions for use on the body of the apparatus to enable any first responder to an apparent heart attack incident to assess the seriousness of the incident and to commence treatment if indicated by the process the machine dictates.

The case is unlocked and the machine is ready for immediate use. A quick response provides the best outcome in such cases, and Paul’s generosity in providing this machine to a busy public space may be the gesture that makes the difference. Many thanks!
