We all love surf carnivals and surf championships, which is why Manly beach welcomes the Annual Manly Surf Carnival every January and the Australian Open which will be hosted at Manly in February (11-19, 2012). So why do we need to bid to host the NSW State Championships in March, for 2012/13 when this event will close our public beach for 7 days? Manly Council staff have stated that their resources are already stretched running a series of events each year, an additional 1,000 cars need to be parked, and you don't have to be a traffic engineering to work out the impact on local traffic. Why not give another Sydney beach suburb the opportunity to bid for this event?

If the three clubs in Manly are successful in attracting the SLSNSW State Championships it will a great opportunity for volunteers, local businesses, Manly Council and the three clubs to work together to ensure it is a great success.
