North Cronulla Surf Club
Posted: January 25, 2016 at 5:05 pm
The original North Cronulla Surf Club was once described as the “finest surf club on the coast”. Built over the beach in October 1937 it stood for only 8 years. Once built, the surf club was battered by a succession of storms in the 1940’s. A huge storm in August 1946 struck the fatal blow. The club could not be saved and was soon after demolished. The new surf club was rebuilt further back in Dunningham Park in 1950, and this is the current location of the surf club now. The image “1946” shows where the old club would have been built.

May 1979 Peter Britton. Kneeboraders had the ability to take off late and therefore could be way inside of the stand ups, however the punishment at the end of this wave was severe. Tim Vanderlaan photos.

The Bando Rd Hangout.
Posted: January 25, 2016 at 4:35 pm
It was back in about 1973 that Brian and Ruby Pringle felt sorry for a bunch of Grommets and allowed them to stash their surfboards under the house in the garage instead of dragging them home on the train. The only other alternative was leaving them at the Age store-a-board. At the time unbeknown to the Prings this would become a tradition that has gone on for decades. There’s plenty of stories about what went on in the garage over the years especially about James Bickerton whose Grom bashings were feared. These resurface at the annual BBQ get togethers.Many of the tales have been embellished over the years but like wine they improve with age The first crew was Lloyd, Kenny, Frog, Mick, Strohy and Maddy. By the 80’s it grew with the likes of Bicko, Scotty, Rowey, Bretto, Lil Strohy,The Lodger and many many others. Glenn and Shane grew up with this constant gathering of surfers around them while Ruby cracked the whip if anyone got out of line. The Pringles are a salt of the earth family and there’s many grateful surfers whose life was turned for the better after meeting them.
