Bilgola Newsletter 27th November



 Patrol News

We had a taste of it on Thursday and the temperatures are only set to soar over this coming weekend. There will be a large influx of visitors to the beach, and with this comes additional risk. Please keep actively patrolling and monitoring the beach, our patrol area covers the whole of Bilgola. Our presence conducting roving patrols around the Northern end and Southern end including the pool will be very important. 
Please remember to remain well hydrated and try to limit your exposure to the sun. Beach patrons seeking sunscreen should be directed to the sunscreen dispenser mounted to the eastern club wall. The general public are not permitted to be handling any SLS rescue equipment or sunscreen containers under the current public health order.

Weekend Weather @ Bilgola

It's going to be hot. This weekend's forecast is mostly sunny heating up from 8am on Saturday reaching a top of 33 degrees continuing through late afternoon. Sunday will be hotter again with temperatures of 30 degrees at 6am, reaching a peak of 39 degrees by 2pm. The forecast suggests a rapid temperature drop by 5pm Sunday down to 19 degrees!

Ken Munro died this week. Ken was a foundation member (1949) of Bilgola SLSC and a member of the first Bronze squad. He was an active member for many years in all functions of the club both social, club and interclub competition. Many a tale could be told. An obituary should be in Saturday’s (28th) SMH.

Latest property news from our Sponsor Ray White Prestige - Palm Beach...

Ray White Now

https://www.raywhite.com/ray-white-now/
Australia’s top bankers and property experts have all now declared record low interest rates will save the housing market from a population-driven slump while remaining confident prices will not rise into bubble territory.

So right now there’s a good opportunity to sell. There’s a rush among buyers to secure a home before the end of the year. A shorter than normal hiatus is expected over Christmas this year. This year’s selling season will be extended with new listings continually being added to the market and auctions being booked right up to Christmas eve. Demand has been strongest from first- time buyers and upgraders, many of whom are spending money on a house they might otherwise have used on overseas holidays, which have been stopped because of COVID-19.
