PRESIDENT’S WELCOME 2023

BY SCOTT LAWRENCE

HELLO EVERYONE!

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome both existing & new members to the 2023 Port Macquarie Surfboard Riders Club. This year we again will be looking to have 10 monthly competitions, a social bowls day in early March, a social golf day & end of year presentation at the end of November. 

PMSRC was founded in 1970 & I am proud to have been associated with the club for 35yrs. Our club is a family club, here to build lifelong friendships, improve the surfing skill levels of its member & mainly to have fun. 

For information about the monthly competitions, we will be sending out emails & post on social media a week before the comp date & the morning of the comp to let you know which beach the comp will be held at. 

You will need to register for each monthly competition before Friday 5pm via https://www.liveheats.com
