Firstly thanks to all who applied, the response (24 applications) was overwhelming which gives great confidence to the future of talent that the club will have to offer in the years to come.

Secondly, and unfortunately for some, there were not enough allocated positions to accommodate all who applied.  The following 15 surfers were successful in their application and will be required to be at the Tallebudgera Recreation Centre at 7am on Saturday the 26th of May.  Also, a big thanks to the Dad's that put their hands up to stay over on the night of the camp to try and keep some order amongst all those groms, good luck !   

I will forward the running format for the camp within the next week or so.

Junior Surfers,

First training session for the MNM Team Tag Titles was at Burleigh Beach yesterday afternoon.  Training consisted of a 5 member, 45 minute, 2 wave comp against 4 other Burleigh Boardriders teams.  The MNM team faired well taking second in very difficult conditions.  Thanks to those that attended and made the effort, it will be remembered when the team is finalised.

So, again, for all interested in competing for MNM in the QLD Tag Team Comp on Saturday the 2JUN12.(See MNM Website and /or Facebook for further details or call James on 0414180339)

Training will again be on Wednesday the 2MAY12, Burleigh Beach at 4pm.
