Beach Clean has been arranged for 29th March 09 from after 9am, a great chance to do your bit to help keep our beaches clean.

Surf Video nights have been organized in the Barnaby Rudge Public house, the next one will be Tuesday 17th March 09 showing Mr B's Substance. 7.30 onward.

Winter 08/09 was a cold one but still not as much surf as we would have hoped for however the days that did work were good and not busy so that's always a treat.  1000's of tons of timber was washed up on our shores after falling from a cargo ship in the channel, it didn't hang about too long though as the helpful people of Thanet soon cleared it away!

SUMMER 2008 was a terrible season, mainly for sunshine but the surf wasn't that great either. Too many SW breezes chopping up the ocean and not that many swells pushing through. We did have loads of fun on the swell boards all season though and are fingers are crossed for a better 2009.

SAD NEWS, On February 10th 2008, Marilyn Beugg passed away peacefully after a year long fight with cancer. Marilyn was a beach favourite to many generations. She ran the trampolines and the rest of Kiddies Corner on Viking bay for 30 years and helped to guide many youngsters who knew her as a mother figure.
Her funeral took place on 22nd Feb. Our thoughts go out to Rick, Alex and Vicky. She will be sorely missed.
