In March we celebrated in fine TBC style with a night for the ages at the Torquay SLSC. Australia\u2019s number one ACDC cover band almost setting the venue alight, and key club members told a story to represent each decade of our rich history. It was a great night for all involved.<\/p>\n<p>At our core, one of TBC\u2019s key focuses is striving to maintain Torquay\u2019s position as the dominant competitive club in Victoria, with special attention paid on our junior members to ensure future competitive success in team and individual events.<\/p>\n<p>This line, taken directly from the Surfing Victoria event press release, is a special moment for myself as President; \u201cTorquay Boardriders Club have won their eighth straight Victorian Teams Titles yesterday at Bells Beach, cementing the past decade in history as the most successful Boardriders Club in Victorian history\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Showcasing our depth, we claimed our third consecutive Victorian Junior Teams Title as well.<\/p>\n<p>Also, on the domestic front, we won the Victorian qualifier of the Sailor Jerry Surftag Series on the Mornington Peninsula<\/p>\n<p>Several years ago we set a key target to perform on a National Level and I am extremely proud to say that our 40th year also saw our greatest performances on the big stage:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 6th \u2013 Australian Boardriders Battle National<br \/>\nFinal.<br \/>\n\u2022 4th \u2013 Kirra Teams Challenge<br \/>\n\u2022 4th \u2013 Sailor Jerry National Final.<\/p>\n<p>The single biggest challenge we face as a committee continues to be managing our staggering membership numbers, while ensuring we can continue to deliver high quality events to all divisions. Our committee is working really hard to implement critical measures to ensure we can maintain our core values and respect our rich history.<\/p>\n<p>Our junior Bells Angels brigade continue to fly the #gohardorgohome flag, with TBC members claiming countless victories at some of the biggest junior events in the country.<\/p>\n<p>In just a couple of weeks\u2019 time, TBC has 12 members heading to South Australia to represent Victoria at the Australian Junior Titles. The club is proud to have such a strong representation and be in a unique position to financially assist them in their pursuit of Australian Titles.<\/p>\n<p>India Robinson\u2019s 2018 QS campaign brought a great deal of joy and excitement to our community. India finished the season rated 21st, capped off with her maiden QS win at the Phillip Island Pro.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday night we crowned divisional champions for divisions ranging from Under 8\u2019s through to Over 55\u2019s. While at its essence surfing is an individual sport, I continue to be blown away at by the special way TBC serves as a gathering of such an incredible group of people, enriching our community in immeasurable ways.<\/p>\n<p>It was a night for the goofy footers on a divisional champion front, with Tully Wylie and Angela Ball winning the Open Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s divisions.<\/p>\n<p>Tully is only the second right foot forward surfer in the history of the club to have won the Open Men\u2019s Title, with the only other being Geoff Tarr in 1994.<\/p>\n<p>A personal highlight from the night for myself was \u201cFast\u201d Eddie Hart being awarded a Life Membership for his unwavering long-term contribution to the club. Eddie was the TBC Open Men\u2019s champion in 1982 and 86. In his 38 years of membership, Eddie has worked tirelessly to greatly shape the fabric of the club. Thanks Eddie!<\/p>\n<p>Our club would be nothing without the monumental support we get from our amazing sponsors and the incredible work done by our 100 per cent volunteer committee. On behalf of the club and committee I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to TBC in 2018 and I am really looking forward to watching our club continue to go from strength to strength in 2019 and beyond.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key upcoming dates:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>November 21st \u2013 AGM at the office of<br \/>\nSurfing Victoria.<br \/>\nNovember 24th \u2013 Australian Boardriders Battle.<br \/>\nDecember 9th \u2013 Supatramp Grom party.<br \/>\nJanuary 26th 2019 \u2013 Annual Single Fin Event.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cahill Bell-Warren<\/strong><br \/>\nPresident<br \/>\n#GOHARDORGOHOME<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WITH TORQUAY BOARDRIDERS CLUB THIS year was the 40th in the history of the Torquay Boardriders Club.
