How better to see in the 2012 half of the Nippers season than with a whole bunch of barbecuing?

Nippers is back on following last week’s washout, this Sunday 22^nd Jamuary for a 10am start. The BBQ roster kicks in: check to see if you’re on duty.

And then the following week we will be running the BBQ for the Junior Carnival at Corrimal on Sunday 29^th January. Col Moodie and his team led by the indefatigable Chris Chapman did such a great job at the Boaties Carnival in December, there’s no doubt we can do an equally efficient, friendly and profitable job this time.

What made it work then, and what we need now, is volunteers. Yes, you at the back, and you sidling off to the left there … look, it really is a lot of fun serving up sandwiches in the busy bits and chatting in the not-so-busy bits.

I can say that because I did it before, and I’m going to do it again. So should you. So, as Col puts it:

If you are not already flat out helping with the carnival in other ways, it would be great if you could help out on the BBQ. I am looking for help:

• 7am to 9am
• 9am to 11am
• 11am to 1pm
• 1pm to 3pm
• 3pm to 4pm cleanup

If you can let me know the best time for you & I can sort out a roster. Col Moodie, 0419 104 197.

All of us at Corrimal Juniors  are very proud we have two boys who have been selected to represent the Illawarra at the Surf Life Saving NSW 2011 Interbranch Championships at Redhead Beach on 10-11 December:

• U14 – Mani Meredith
• U15 – Daniel St George

This a big achievement for both boys: well done!

Daniel has also qualified for the U14 5km Open Water Swim for State on the 3.12.11 to be held at the Regatta Centre in Penrith, and also has qualified for the Australian Open Water U14 5km swim in Feb 2012 in Perth. Good on you, Digger, we’re all proud of you, although none more than your Mum and Dad.
