2009 Annual Presentation

The annual presso' was held after the December comp round in the boardroom of the Cherry St, Bowling Club. Around 40 members and their partners enjoyed the air-conditioned comfort of the Boardroom for pre-presso' drinks and nibbles. It was no surprise that Frank McWilliams tookout the Club Champion, Frank surfed consistently throughout the year and thoroughly deserved the win. Well done Frank!

After the presentation of the annual awards the crew enjoyed an "all you eat buffet".

Marg Bryant was awarded Club Person Of The Year for her contribution to the committee and her behind the scenes work for the club. She was so overcome on the day she was unable to speak. Following is Marg's message of thanks:

" I was lost for words for once on Sunday night - totally overwhelmed and grateful for the lovely things said about and to me. I never expect any rewards for things I do but it is really lovely to be thanked and appreciated. As you all probably know I am very enthusiastic about my surfing and my involvement with the club and am hoping to surf for many more years yet. Thanks and hope you all have a happy and safe Christmas with lots of good waves."

Many thanks to Ken Garington who kindly donated key rings with the Ballina Malibu Club logo to each of the winners. Contact Ken if you would like to purchase a key ring ($5).
