17th April 2010 ( 09-10 Summer Series ) What a perfect way to cap off a great summer series for Supergroms. A beautiful autumn afternoon in the sun on the green at the PSC clubrooms. We had a fantastic turnout of about 100 grommies and there families. With the BBQ sizzling thanks to Skip and a couple of cold drinks it was very relaxing for the parents. The Supergroms all ran around like crazy jumping on the Jumping castle, thanks to Jenny Fasso, kicking the footy, playing cricket and skating on the ramp, eating lolly pops, icy poles and delicious Supergrom choccie cake (also courtesy Jenny Fasso. A huge congratulations to all our Supergroms on a massive increase in skills, ability and confidence. To all our kids whom placed in top 6 and got a trophy well done! We were very privileged and lucky to have Richie Porta to speak and award our Supergroms Aggregate trophies. Richie Porta grew up at Gunnamatta and is now the Head Judge on the World Surf Tour with the world’s best surfers. He gave some very sound advice to all, including surf as much as you can and in as many contests as possible to get the most out of your surfing. Thanks for your time Richie. All divisions received trophies that were uniquely handcrafted by Phil Trigger for the Supergroms. Awesome to say the least. Thanks Phil!
