What’s happening at Manly LSC – Monday 30th Jan 2023
Wow what a busy few weeks it has been for Manly LSC. Nipper Nats was a huge success with around 800 nippers enjoying a full program of competition. Last weekend we saw 1000+ competitors from all across the country. Friday was the Open ironman and ironwoman heats. The surf was up and the racing was top notch! Unfortunately on Saturday the sea life had other ideas on how the day was going to pan out, and the carnival had to be cancelled due to the competitors safety being the number one priority. Thank you to each and every volunteer that helped make the carnival a success. Even with no racing being held on the Saturday the reports were all glowing for event location and management.
CLUB REBUILD UPDATE
We now have a webpage dedicated to news and updates about the club rebuild. Updates will be posted regularly.
We congratulate Chris Kinsella on joining the Building Committee.
We have asked Northern Beaches Council to arrange an on-site meeting for club members and the architects, Terrior, in February as part of the preparation of the first Concept Plans due in Q2 this year. Stay tuned for the date.
