Surf club postpones five events due to Covid uncertainty

Ocean Beach Surf Lifesaving Club has decided to postpone five events due to "the ever-changing and uncertain Covid environment".

The five events were the Australia Day photo exhibition at the Umina CWA hall, the gala dinner at Ettalong Diggers on Friday, January 28, the life members' lunch and the Ocean Beach SLSC Reunion both scheduled for Saturday, January 29, and the Ladies' Get Together on Sunday, January 30.

"Our aim is to reschedule these functions and events later in 2022," said club president Mr Dean Slattery.

The Central Coast-Hunter Boat Series will still take place on Saturday, January 8, as well as a photo exhibition held in conjunction with the boat carnival on the same day.

"This early decision has been made with the safety and well-being of our members, sponsors and supporters as our priority and for those who intended to travel from within NSW and Interstate to be given the opportunity to cancel their travel plans," Mr Slattery said.

"We apologise for any inconvenience caused and hope that you understand and support this decision."

The club will proceed with plans to commemorate its 100 years at 12pm on Saturday, January 29, with a traditional reel line and belt rescue and a modern IRB rescue.
