The North Coast Holiday Parks Urunga MASTERS CARNIVAL was a great success on Saturday, with a good rollup from southern clubs Scotts Head, Tacking Point, Forster and Avoca, our own contingent and branch clubs Sawtell and Woopi, Brunswick Heads, the touring team from Mermaid Waters and Surfers Paradise who brought 6 very enthusiastic Japanese exchange lifeguards down for an “Aussie Experience” at Urunga.

Many thanks to the local Kangaroo mob who turned on their best performance as the tour bus entered Hungry Head. The weather was a little dodgy but as the day was all about having fun the 40 odd competitors joined forces to make up team events and everyone enjoyed a well run carnival. Thanks to Team Urunga for all efforts on the day, big thanks to our officials who made it all possible. This weekend is Scotts Head Carnival, masters on Sat, North Coast Boat Series on both days. Good luck to all heading down.

BUILDERS PICNIC GOLF DAY, at Urunga Golf Club, Monday December 1st. The event is an 18 hole, 3 man Ambrose with two sides hitting off together. It is open to all tradesmen and their supporters, and golfing ability is a bonus not a prerequisite as the focus of the day is fun and friendship. Starts at 9am, shotgun, but players are advised to arrive by 8.30am to sign on and enjoy a sumptuous BBQ breakfast. The cost of the day is $35 per player which includes golf fees, all food, some drinks and all players win a prize. Other refreshments will be available throughout the day. Sign on sheets are in the foyer at Golf Club, or contact Paul Bastick, numbers are limited so avoid disappointment and get in early!
