Greetings Gumbies
Well another bumper Club Contest, with Huey making sure we had some waves and perfect conditions, the Adam Baker Memorial Contest was a belter. The Committee was hoping to run the contest with just the one bank but it just wasn't to be. When we have 44 plus Jnr's to surf and judge it sure makes for a longer day so double banking is a must,other wise QBC will be an all weekender with A grade surfing there final at 5pm Sunday arvo.
With the conditions the way they where, the surfing was exceptional, Tom Lane must have surfed a 1000 waves, the kid only got out of the water to change singlets. He won both the A Grade and U18's Finals,Congratulations Tom, super effort that. The fathers club of B grade is also doing pretty well with little sleep, Marvo and Bruno's wives are obviously letting there boys rest up the night before a big contest, with both blokes making back to back finals with the Vo winning both. Bryce in the U14's had better have a look over his shoulder at the next contest, with Ben P and Blake C these kids a frothing to give Bryce some heat, and some school yard banter. In the Womens, Bronte won her first for the season, which will make the tallying that much harder at the end of the year, with 4 out of the 5 women having won one each. And what go's for the snr women go's for the jnr women's, Lauren just edging out Tori and Millie in a thriller.
The 45's proved that just cause there older doesn't mean they cant cut it Eymesy had to bring it all out to keep Simmo at bay, Simmo was at his spectacular best but still could not breach Eymesy's fault less maneuvers.

It's great to see a mob hanging back to watch all the finals and having a couple of cold beverages, we really need some loud speaker commentary, as funny as it would be its probably better that we dont.
A big thank you must go out to Brookvale Cellars, Jim Beam and Coopers for the QBC afternoon Prezzo's.
Also dont forget about your membership cards, 50 cents from every Coopers sold at the Wharf Bar go's back to QBC and you can use your card whenever your down at the Wharf. You get Corporate rates at Virgin Active Health Club and 20% off at Australian Surfer HQ.
The next contest is the 13th of June, normal cut off times U18 BEFORE 7.30am everyone else BEFORE 8.am If your late and there is not a spot your out, so get there EARLY and help set up and help out.
Cheers
BC
