WHAT TO WEAR: Red and binoculars, if you have them!
In honour of the Red Hand Fish, we'll be wearing red attire/bathers/beachwear and binoculars to signify we are keeping an eye on dodgey practices in the bay.
WHAT TO BRING: Yourselves, your friends, signage and placards
MEETING POINT: Carlton Beach, to the west of the SLSC at 3pm on the 1st of Feb.
PARKING: Limited parking available at surf club, please consider if you are fit and able walking from one of many signed access points along Carlton Beach Rd and factor that into your arrival time.
