Our previous committee member Candice reflects... “It has been a privilege to be Groups Officer and fill a crucial role in the running of Surfing Mums over the past two years. Helping new and existing coordinators maintain and grow their groups has been highly rewarding.

I look forward to providing ongoing help and training to a new Groups Officer."
