THE CLUBOpen every Friday night from around 6pm, maybe a little earlier during the summer when our Nippers and Cadets are training on the beach. This is family time; we will often crank up the BBQ and have the big screen on for football or other programs. We have a smaller room for the children if they want to play with toys or watch a DVD.
