SITA South Gloucestershire
Our surfing club has been active since February 2004 and we already have a good number of members (see the stats on the left). The aim of the club is to promote the sport, the ocean and the environment.

For most of us city-dwellers, it's easy to feel out of touch with what's going on. Most surfing clubs are situated on the coast and keeping in touch is hard. This club is an opportunity to meet fellow surfers living in your own backyard.

If you want to get involved, please join. Membership is £10.50 (online) or £10.00 (cash/cheque), which allows us to cover most of the running costs.
Thursday Club Gatherings - From 8pm at the Pump House
We have a weekly gathering at the Pump House where we all catch up, share a few drinks and make plans for the forthcoming weekend.

This is a really informal, laid back event and everyone is welcome, so if you're interested in joining the club please come along and say hello.

Typically we are in the raised area on the ground floor of the pub, you can't miss us.

See you there.

BSC Newsletter. 29th July.
The news letter has been a bit slack lately so we've got tons of stuff to get through this week.

News
Firstly, you may have seen Pete's post on the forum regarding committee positions. We're looking for volunteers for Treasurer, Membership Secretary and the PR/Marketing role. If you're vaguely organised and you can spare a few hours each month for the club then please get in touch – your assistance would be most welcome.

Next up, we are pleased to welcome Loose Fit as official 'friends of BSC'. Club members now get 10% discount and they usually have other offers going on so if you mention BSC you're going to be looked after.

Grab a bargain
Martin has put his 9'4 Escape long board up for sale. This is a great deal for anyone looking to get into mal riding. Check the forum for photos and contact details.

Events
August 2nd/3rd (this weekend): Gwithian weekend. Only a few days to go and it looks like there will be waves so it's definitely worth the trip.

Sunday 10th August: Loose Fit film night number 4 at the Black Bear. Check the Loose Fit site for full details.

16th or 17th August: Club day trip. This is an open invitation for members of all abilities to come along and share some waves. Details are still light at this stage but Bude or Saunton are the proposed venues.

20th/21st Sept: British Interclub Longboarding Chapionship, Scarborough. We've got one squad of six confirmed already. If you're interested then let Pete know ASAP.

4th & 5th October: The last beginners weekend of the year. Bude.

As usual you can find more details on all of these events on the forum.

This weeks meeting
Thursday, 8pm at the Pumphouse, Hotwells. See you there.
BSC Newsletter. 9th July.
Firstly, quick thanks to everyone who helped to make last weeks barbecue a success. We couldn’t have picked a better day for it! There are photos on the forum for those who couldn’t make it (or only have a vague recollection of events.)

Coming up this weekend there are two events of note. Firstly it’s beginners weekend in Bude. Conditions look a bit iffy at the moment but Andy is in touch with the surf school so keep an eye on the forum for any updates.

Secondly it’s the Bristol Surf Show at the Watershed on Saturday. Doors open at 9:30 and it runs until 5pm. Could be ideal distraction for a flat weekend. Full details on the surf show web site.

It's back to the usual meeting at the Pumphouse on Thursday from 8pm. See you there.
