Clothing Order
It was requested that a new clothing order be made.
Approx. numbers for Hoodies and T-shirts were 5 of each, if you would like to order one, please let us know by comment below or order to bigrockboardriders@gmail.com
Big Rock Correspondence
It was agreed the method of correspondence needed to be improved, as most members have facebook, it was agreed Nic would set up a facebook page for the club, whereby members could join and be informed of club competitions, meeting etc.
Club Fund raising
The idea of club fund raising was mooted, after much discussion the following was agreed:
The aim of the fund raising would be to cover the cost of buying/ restoring surfboards to supply young surfers and possibly some gear to get them into surfing.
Any fund raising would also go towards covering the costs of team members entry to SISA competitions, this would probably be dependent on those members participating in the fund raising efforts.
The two options for fund raising agreed on were:
Sausage Sizzles to be organised by Andy
An art raffle to be organised by Nic and Andy, tickets to be sold by all members.
Big Rock Mission Statement
It was agreed the club needed a mission statement, in order to provide some direction for the club. Possible ideas were agreed as follows:
To promote surfing in the Brighton area
To provide a safe environment for young surfers
To promote environmental sensitivity and encourage respect of our surfing environment
This is to be refined and further ideas are encourage, please either post as a comment, email to us bigrockboardriders@gmail.com or bring it along to the next meeting.
Big Rock Slogan
We will be running a competition to come up with a slogan for the club, whoever comes up with the best slogan wins free membership for a year. Something short and effective. Entries close at the next meeting.
Judging Training
At some stage in the future there will be judging training, whereby we will watch some footage on TV, while everyone scores the waves surfed. With everyone being shown what some turns should be scored, hopefully to encourage an even playing field of judges.
Meeting Closed 8:30pm
It was agreed the next meeting will be held on 12 June 2010 at the blue flat

:: VID :: Earth Hour - Night Surf
Earth Hour Night Surf from Nic Reeves on Vimeo.
Earth Hour is a global WWF climate change initiative where everyone is invited to switch off their lights for one hour on March 27 at 8.30 p.m to show their support for action on climate change. People across the world from all walks of life will turn off their lights and join together in celebration and contemplation of the one thing we all have in common – our planet.
Big Rock Boardriders decided to host a night surf between those hours to show their support.
