Old Joes Milkbar

Inside Old Joes Milkbar at North Cronulla just before it was closed for business in the 90s and demolished it was a walk back in time. Advertising posters from the past still displayed and out dated parlor games along with more modern pinny machines. The counter was always the same, Toffee apples, milk shakes and hot chips bring back fond memories of youthful days spent at the beach.

John Veage first came to my attention as a photographer working as Sarges apprentice He eventually went on to become the Leaders main photographer and through his love of surfing has kept the local rag full of surf related pics and articles now for several decades. Veagy is also a lifetime member of CBC and has been the backbone of the club since day one. Photo below …..still keen as a grommet he’s on it every morning at his beloved Alley. Photo Chris Stroh.

Cronulla Boardriders Club Comp

The CBC club was formed in 1978 by G&S and since day one they still regularly hold their contests at The Alley unless there was no waves and were forced to move elsewhere. Mark Pringle was the Opens champion that year.The club at times was full of stars and was the most successful local club against other areas in Surf League and team events. Photo BWN
