Are you the owner of Disabled Surfers Association - NSW Mid North Coast?
DSA MNC branch began back in Spring 2007 when Bryn Goode and Barney Miller, locals to the Sawtell and Coffs Harbour area, decided to call a training day to see if the interest was there in the local community. Overwhelmed with some 75 new trainees, Jim Bradley and DSAA crew jumped straight into the training and the branch has never looked back. Barney Miller, himself wheelchair-bound as a result of a motor vehicle accident, became the unofficial ‘patron’ of the branch in it’s formative years.
Donations from Barney’s annual ‘Barney Miller Surf Classic’ held at Sawtell helped deck out the branch with equipment.
Bryn stood down from the presidency and started a family.. Chris Allen ran the branch for two years before handing over to Sue Kleidon, who served well for three years. Cliff Lloyd has been Vice President since we began, along with Vicki and Danny Cameron, John and Liz Scholten being long time core committee members.
