2nd & 3rd of September saw the culmination of all our Clubbies hard work over the season when a group of 40+ members headed to Lowestoft South Beach to compete in the Eastern Regional Competition against 3 other Clubs North Norfolk SLSC, Brighton SLSC and Waveney SLSC who were the hosts.

It was a perfect weekend of weather and sea conditions, which meant for a fantastic weekend of racing.

The nippers 7-8, 9-10 & 11-13 competed for medals in all events and as a Team gained 3rd place, there were so many medals and achievements that it would be unfair to single anyone out but as Coaches it’s wonderful to see the development of these children, not only in skill but in confidence too. All those coaching hours putting them through their paces has paid dividends for them as individuals and also as a Team, cheering each other on and showing respect to other competitors, you make us very proud.

Moving onto the Youth, Open & Masters, they collectively also gained 2nd place in the rankings which gave us, as a Club 2nd place overall for 2023. This in itself is an amazing achievement for our growing Club. I won’t name names again but you will see from the montage of photos who did well

A big thanks needs to go to the Event organisers, hosts Waveney Surf Life Saving Club, our Team Managers, the Competitors themselves, families and all our Supporters, you helped make our weekend possible and one that will be treasured.

Also a shout out to North Norfolk Surf Life Saving Club, Waveney Surf Life Saving Club and Brighton Surf Life Saving Club our fellow competitors and also Surf Life Saving GB for making the epic journey.

Credit must go to Nadine Gray for the amazing photos of which I've had to sift through to pick out a selection from the 400 plus she took. Big thanks Nadine
