Surf Life Saving NSW is hosting their annual Surf Club Open Day on Sunday, October 16. 

Many clubs throughout the region will host a range of activities, including lifesaving demonstrations, clubhouse tours, barbecues and displays.

Kiama Surf Life Saving Club will be open to the public from 10am. 

Club manager and vice-president Pat Sutton said the event was an opportunity for the public to “see the facilities, talk to the members, as well as learn what they can do for the club and the club can do for them”.

Gerringong Surf Life Saving Club president Richard Payne said the club will have a number of information stands in place.

“The surf club is a fantastic organisation in that it caters for people from about four years of age right through to senility.

“You don’t even have to patrol the beach. There are plenty of ways people can assist the club be it through admin roles, barbecuing, working the bar or just even turning up socially.”

Kiama Downs Surf Life Saving Club will have displays and demonstrations throughout the day.
