Get aboard film fundraiser

Cowaramup Bay Boardriders Club will hold its annual film fundraiser at Margaret River Cultural Centre next Friday.

Freesurfer Dion Agius’ film The Smiling Bag will be the main event after a series of 15 short films made by the young club members.

The idea came about last year when Agius met 15-year-old Sam Cawood at Lefties and asked him where the best surf could be found.

Cawood said the pair got talking and Agius gave him a surfboard and permission for the Gracetown club to use the film.

“I got a board, so that’s pretty good,” Cawood said.

Club vice-president Lucas Englert said there would be a burger bar, a sausage sizzle, a raffle and prizes, with funds to go to club costs. Tickets are $19 for adults and $13 for children.
