Surf Action - Supporting Combat Veterans

Hi All, sorry for the lack of blogs this past month it has been a hectic one. Firstly the meeting today is as usual at Gwithian beach 12.30 Sunset Surf Cafe.  I will do a full run down of the months activities here for you later today and there will be some new galleries going up soon. Please keep voting for us on the Natwest Community force project, I believe voting finishes next week.  Fingers crossed for two weeks time, November 5th when we find out the results of the National Lottery Awards. Thanks again for everyones support....

Among others, Royal Irish Rangers Pat Glennon and Simon Ugavule both suffered shrapnel wounds in the same blast in Afghanistan this year and had been invited to Cornwall by Events Director Rosie Thompson who is responsible for providing cheer and entertainment for injured soldiers and has been in this role for 14 years is an absolute legend and helps those who often need this type of activity to rebuild confidence and esteem.
