WE’RE SETTING A NEW PATROL RECORD
SLSQ Point Danger Branch will be setting a new record for the longest continual patrol in Australia’s history and celebrating with the community with a free event on Saturday and Sunday 3pm – 8pm with Fireworks at 8pm Sunday night to mark the end of the 100 hour patrol completed.
WHERE AND WHEN?
Commencing on Wednesday 27 March at 3pm, the patrol will coincide with the Easter long weekend, extending through to Sunday 31 March at 8pm. Lifesavers, ranging from 13 to 89 years old, will take daylight shifts patrolling Coolangatta beach, right in front of the Coolangatta Surf Life Saving Club. Night hours will be on the grass area in front of the club, so come down and show your support.
