Surfers - $45 (must have basic knowledge of swimming for safety purpose)

Currumbin Alley’s sheltered layout makes it less exposed and open to the prevailing Southerly winds, creating both perfect Learn to Surf conditions and challenging long rides for the experienced surfer.

A wet suit and surfboard will be provided by the surf school. Learn to Surf lessons include instruction in paddling, wave catching, various prone to feet methods, surfboard design and Surf Safety.

PS: Non-surfers will get to laze around the beach and play some games while surfers try to 'Hang ten" :D

Welcome BBQ, Sem 1 2011

Hello everyone First of all, the blogger has changed the layout of this blog. Do you like it? say YES pls!

A great relief for the blogger as editing html codes is not an easy task at all especially it is time and energy consuming for a newbie.

Alright, shall back to the main topic now. How was the BBQ session last Saturday? Did you enjoy it? Feel free to give us some feedback as it could help us to improve next time : )

The committees arrived at the venue early in the morning setting up everything before the event got started

 

While everyone was busy preparing, our first visitor - a monitor lizard came into the blogger’s sight.

“Hello lizard, you are welcome to join us as UQMSA member but too bad, you come too early. We haven’t set up the booth yet. Come next semester kay?”

 

Some random shots while setting up. We do like to multitask, don’t we?

 

Cooking/(looking at) the succulent sausages (to be cooked) was a great experience to the blogger

 

Lovely volunteers were given a short briefing on task allocations & how to play the social games for the event

Some pictures of UQMSA members

 

The crowd was waiting for the game to get started

 

Everyone was feeling excited, energetic and cheerful

Teh Tarik team, Roti Canai team…. mari mari!
