John said that he and secretary-manager David Galea were happy to be in a position to assist with the costs involved with this essential community service.

Surf club president Brian Paull. acknowledged the ongoing support of local bowlers.

"The funds will be directed toward competitive ski equipment which in turn will provide surf club members with a better opportunity to hone their surf skills," he said.

"It is essential to maintain the physical fitness of beach patrolling members."

Brian said that, over a period of 22 years, Umina Bowling Club had donated rescue equipment valued at more than $60,000.

"They provide strong support to our club nippers which reinforces club growth for future years.
