Hi all, this is following on from the announcement on Sunday. If you would like to become involved in the fundraising committee for the development project, please email matt@gyllysurf.org.uk. The club has a fantastic opportunity to collaborate our resources and find the required funds to gain our very own club building on Gyllyngvase. We are working closely with the RNLI and SLS GB on the project. We do need to raise a lot of money, and if yourself (or someone you know) is interested and has the skills to help with the fundraising, send an email to the address above or speak to me on the beach (sat-sun). Once I have everyone's details, I will arrange an informal meeting for the week commencing 13th June. Together we can achieve something special. Matthew
Stone P.S Don't forget to register for the Max Hocking this Sunday morning (it will be your last chance to attend). Nipper training will be going ahead as usual, and parents willing to help out will be very welcome. We may be slightly short of coaches due to the Helston Triathlon and the Castle to Castle Swim on the same day! 28/05/10 Max Hocking Fun Day On Sunday 13th June is the Max Hocking Fun Day, for all Nippers aged 7 years upwards. It is being held at Praia Sands, an RNLI life guarded beach. This is a fun carnival and the children may be mixed into different teams of equal numbers. It will be good practice for the newer members wishing to compete in the Cornish and National Champs. Entries are going to be taken on the beach this Sunday or contact Mrs Christophers (at the desk) for a form if you are unable to attend this weekend. All entries must be in by 6th June. Cornwall SLS are organizing the day and will need help from members and parents to run the events, it will be helpful for members wishing to train as officials. We will also need to help out with water cover on the day. Note: There will be no Nipper training on Sunday 13th June. 27/05/10 The Weekend Ahead The 1st Jubilee Aquathlon of the year is being held in Penzance this Saturday. It consists of a 200m swim in the Jubilee Pool and a 2 mile run to Newlyn and back. The race is open for competitors 13 and over. If anyone would like to take part, registration opens at 5pm and the race begins at 6pm. It is a good introduction to the multi discipline event. (The Junior/Adult session will still be going ahead Saturday evening) Sunday morning, we will be holding a Fun Session for all Nippers from 10.30am. This will make a change to the usual format and allow everyone to mix as a team. There will be games and races, with a BBQ as well (weather depending / bring your own food please :-) A little birdie also told me that there may be a sand castle completion as well, so bring your buckets and spades! Next weekend will stage the Helston Triatlon and the RNLI Castle to Castle Swim from Falmouth to St. Mawes. If any juniors/adults would like to help with safety cover for this swim event, contact Allan Reid. Finally, a big well done to Ellie Carter, who won her age group at last weekends Hayle Standard Distance Triathlon. A super result! That's it I think, if i missed anything send me an email:matt@gyllysurf.org.uk
The English Channel swimmers, consisting of gylly parent Catherine Ralph would like to invite you to 'A Charity BBQ and Auction'. It will take place on the 6th June @ 4.30pm, Winslade, 12 Tehidy Gardens, Camborne TR14 0ET. There is a £10 donation and under 12's get in free.

The weekend before last, Gylly had several representatives at the Falmouth Race For Life. The race was quickly won by Gylly's own Izzy Steele, super race Izzy! Well done to everyone that took part! Some pics are in the gallery>>> 04/05/10 Summer Training
The return of the beach lifeguard service across the county can only mean one thing… the start of Gylly's summer training schedule. Although the water is still 'chilly' we are starting back at the beach. This means all nippers and juniors must come prepared with adequate clothing/wetsuits for the conditions. A full-suit is a must until the water warms up. On the other hand, the air temperature is getting hotter, so please bring drinks and sun lotions with you for re-hydration during training. Beach training begins this Saturday 8th May at 6.00-7.30pm. This is strictly a junior (13+) and senior session only. The first nipper beach session is this Sunday 9th May* (10 and under – 10:30am | 11-13 years – 12.00pm). Both sessions are 1 hour in duration; please insure that parents/guardians are present promptly at the end of each session to collect their child. Parents/guardians should also try to remain on the beach while their child is training. All beach sessions cost £1. This goes towards purchasing new club equipment. *Be aware that the Falmouth 'Race for Life' will be taking place this Sunday, so you will find it hard to find somewhere to park. Also, each session is limited to 50 nippers, so be there on time to guarantee a spot. (members will be given priority)
Well done to Hugh who won, (sorry) finished the Virgin London Marathon in a time of 04:16:32. Even more impressively, he ran an even split, completing the first half in 2:08:18! He raised over £400 for the RNLI Lifeboat charity. A fantastic achievement!ms <<<Year
