Please see  circular here and flier here for the upcoming Dean Mercer Dash held at Thirroul on 29 October 2023.

All entrants will go into a lucky draw to win one of two stock paddle boards - one from Kracka and one from Infront.

We are launching a unique and fun cash grab idea so we can seed fund the Dean Mercer Dash 2023 and beyond  with a professional timing system, allowing us to grow our event in the eyes of competitors and sponsors alike..

The Thirroul Nippers recently had a great time at Green Patch on Jervis Bay.  Around forty nippers and their families attended a four day training camp, where the Nippers undertook a range of both fun and  training activities at this beautiful location.  Thanks to all the parents who helped make this happen, with a special thanks to Sonya Harrison and Jeff Wall.

The Thirroul Branch of the Horizon Bank has  set up a display in their bank window to assist Thirroul Surf Club with recruitment.  Thirroul Surf Club are looking for new members to help us patrol our beach or to join our Nippers program.   Many thanks to Horizon Bank for providing this opportunity in such a high profile spot in our community.

Thirroul SLSC would like to thank Barry Joukadhor and Thirroul Dental Care for their kind donation of a new Transition Board.  The Transition Boards are proving to be a real hit with our emerging lifesavers.

Thirroul Club Life Member, Ross Taylor, has written a book that reveals just how massive an undertaking it was to host a one-off surf carnival as part of the World Scout Jamboree in 1998 where 12,000 scouts from around the world descended on Appin. The book is available to purchase at the local Collins bookstore in Thirroul.

Thirroul Club members made a successful trip to Riccione in Italy to contest the World SLS Championships.

We will be opening the beaches this Sunday, 25 September at 10am, and the 2022 season will well and truly be under way.
