DIRECTORY: This year I am arranging the Members' Directory according to the beaches people use, thus creating lots of little beach groups. These Beach Groups will be used for: -
1) Hosting Beach Days.
2) Arranging barbecues, beach parties, fishing contests, etc.
3) Giving information - if you want to go to a beach which is new to you, just ring someone who already goes to that beach to find out what you want to know.
4) Publicising their own beach, protecting their own beach, Beach Clean-up Days.
5) Escorting new members.
6) Making up a party to go to the beach, especially on week days.
I know this system will take a season to get underway, but I think it will be worthwhile, and I look forward to your comments and suggestions.
