IMPORTANT NOTE:
Worser Bay Surf Club has just had the floors in the hall redone, so everyone must enter the hall with dry and sand-free feet. To manage this, when we go outside at the beginning of the session we will be staying on the grass, and we won't be coming back into the hall after we go on the beach. The doors to the hall will be locked after our ocean session so please put your bags and gear inside the changing rooms when you first arrive at the session.
Worser Bay Surf Club has very generously given us the club space to use. If you can, please consider donating their way (details on the pinned post and survey link).
There will be changing rooms, toilets and showers provided at the club. Please keep showers to a minimum to save water to save costs to the club and also due to Wellington's current water shortage.
