Introduction to Permaculture Course
Saturday, 23 November 2024 to Sunday, 24 November 2024 - 09:00 am to 04:30 pm
This course is a weekend well spent, to take your sustainability knowledge to a whole new level. Renowned sustainability practitioner, Michelle Sheather provides an overview of all aspects of sustainable living, empowering you to incorporate these learnings into your everyday life.
Elle is an international ecologist and permaculture teacher who has implemented training initiatives around the world, working across 6 continents and in many cases helping preserve rare ecosystems. She is also a member of the Permaculture Northern Beaches committee.
The Introduction to Permaculture course introduces the Ethics and Principles of Permaculture Design.
You will learn about:
- Organic gardening – including growing from seed, companion planting, crop rotation, chemical free pest control and growing within the Sydney climate
- Sustainable housing – including alternative energy sources such as solar, water saving techniques, ecological design principles and concepts

- Social permaculture – Learn how to incorporate permaculture into your daily living.
- Zoning– Learn about the 6 zones of permaculture that denote how much attention each area requires. These can also be adapted on a micro-scale to your own home and garden environment.

The Co-Op Club welcomes back DADDY LONGLEGS & THE SWAMP DONKEYS renowned for their unpredictable and raucous live show.
From the murky depths of the Balgowlalooga swamp, rises the smoky mud stained rhythms of the Swamp Donkeys. Riding astride the donkeys like a golf ball balanced on eight toothpicks is the auburn vagabond known as Mr Daddy Longlegs. He can be heard growling his ‘Gut Butter Blues’ throughout the urban forest. When these creatures of musical madness step together, the sound of their march is like an infusion of blues/rock/rambles. After journeying across vast landscapes, Daddy Longlegs & The Swamp Donkeys have returned home to share their debut single ‘Salty Sea Dog’.
The howling vocals of Aaron Houston aka Daddy Longlegs bellows an ancient tale accompanied by the wailing harmonica of Jay McKay, driving bass grooves of Felix Akurangi and thumping drums of Steve de Wilde.
Their journey so far has taken them to various festivals and venues throughout the distant corners of Australia, winning the Perisher Peak Festival competition for undiscovered treasure and sold out performances at the legendary Manly Fig, The Shack along with festival appearances at Illawarra Folk, Love Culburra and Manly Jazz.
The Waterfront Café’s Co-Op Club presents some of the finest live music North side of the bridge from 3.30pm every Sunday. Come and immerse yourself by the waters edge with great friends, your favourite beverage and a huge range of delicious menu options. This is a very special and unique location - 1860 Pittwater Rd Church Point. Ph 99796633 to book a table.

Anticipation builds for the Hansa World and International Championships: March 21-30 2025
Anticipation is building as sailors worldwide prepare for the 2025 Hansa World Championships, set to be hosted at the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club in Newport and raced on Pittwater.
Fresh off the recent Hansa Class Asia Pacific Championships at Southport Yacht Club, top competitors from across the globe are gearing up for fierce competition in March 2025.
At the Asia Pacific Championships in October, Japan’s Takumi Niwa delivered an impressive performance in the Hansa 303 One Person fleet, securing the win after consistently placing in the top three in all eight races. Niwa, along with Polish Para World Sailing Champion Piotr Cichocki and Australia’s Alison Weatherly, will reunite in Newport to vie for the Hansa 303 Para World and Open World titles. Spain’s Isaias Iglesias, who took second in the European Championships, will also add to the challenge.
The 303 Two Person category saw Australians Chris Symonds and Manuela Klinger dominate by winning every race. Next year’s competition will feature strong European contenders, including France’s Gauthier Bril and Camille Massonnaud, along with past medalists Piotr Cichocki and Olga Górnaś-Grudzień, in what promises to be a thrilling contest.
In the Liberty class, Hong Kong’s Foo Yuen Wai, with six wins out of nine starts, claimed victory in Southport and now sets his sights a World Championship. Britain’s Paul Phillips and former champion Vera Voorbach from the Netherlands will join him in Newport, alongside Japan’s Ryo Sasaki, who secured the Liberty Servo title at the Asia Pacifics.
Queensland’s local talent also shone on the Gold Coast Broadwater, with Neil Rowsthorn, Brent Geritz, and Ross Manning taking the top three spots in the SKUD 18 division.
They will face serious competition from New Zealand’s top crews, who are shipping boats to compete in the SKUD 18 Open and Para categories.
Notably, Paralympic gold medallists Dan Fitzgibbon and Liesl Tesch will make a highly anticipated return to the SKUD 18, aiming for a strong showing at the Worlds.
Important Details for Entrants:
Early Entry Deadline: Midnight, Saturday, 30 November. A late fee is applicable thereafter.
World Sailing ID: Required for para category participants to ensure para rankings.

Surfing Mums & Dads
Want to join the best Mums (& Dads) group on earth? Surfing Mums Australia is a not for profit organisation with groups across Australia. We take turns surfing and looking after each other’s children.
The Avalon group meets Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 9.30am and the Palm Beach group meets on Thursdays. The Mona Vale group meets Wednesday 9am, Narrabeen on Wednesday at 9:30 am, Dee Why / Long Reef on Friday 9am, Freshwater on Monday at 9am and Manly on Wednesday at 9am.
Our surf swap meet ups welcome parents of all levels, whether you’re a total novice or have been riding waves for a lifetime. Meet ups are run by member volunteer coordinators, and take place at a specific beach location at designated weekly times and days – although some groups switch locations depending on the best beach conditions on that given day. Coordinators post updates on each group’s private Facebook page prior to each meetup, so be sure to check for updates before you go. When you arrive, you’ll be paired up with a parent who will be your surf swap partner. Meet ups generally run for two hours, so there’s potential for each parent to have roughly an hour of ocean time, and an hour of child minding – although new parents may like to work up to this time goal slowly. Parents decide between themselves who’ll surf first, and who’s surfing second. The term surfing is open to interpretation here; you can surf, body board, SUP, go for a beach run or do some laps. However you’d like to spend your ocean time is up to you.
We welcome all levels of surfers, from shredders to absolute newbies, any anyone who cares for a little person is welcome to join.
