Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to the third Boardriders Beginners Weekend of 2009. The event will be held
at Gwithian beach on the weekend of 27-28th June 2009.

The course is open to all service and MOD personnel based at RN/RM establishments and their families.
All personnel interested in attending the course should print off and complete the proforma below and return

Any queries please contact Lt Williams on 07834527401 or MASF-AV2 or a member of the committee as
detailed on the website. It is advisable to book early as these weekends are becoming extremely popular and
are limited to 40 personnel (which is continually being achieved, first come first served basis).

The aim of the weekend is to promote and introduce personnel to the exciting sport of surfing, and to further
improve the skill of personnel who have previously attended a Beginner's Weekend. Please state on the form
as to your skill level as we can now offer video analysis and further intermediate coaching for those who are
at a progressive level.

Due to the uncertainty of the weather and surf, it may be necessary to change the venue on the day; therefore
personnel are required to provide their own transport

All equipment will be provided by the club (e.g. Boards, Wetsuits, (boots & gloves not inc) ), however
participants are advised to bring their own wetsuits, boots and gloves if possible.

The muster point will be Gwithian TOWANS car park (near Hayle, just off the A30) at 0900 on the 27th June
2009 and be advised to ensure you have enough change for the car park (approx £4.50).

Included in the price will be 6 hours plus off quality surf instruction and a barbecue on the Saturday night to
