The first bottle drive took place in summer 1999. It was the idea of a number of then-residents who thought that they should raise money to equip the Beach Club which had opened that year.

So, it’s no surprise that our Craig Bay community has had to do the same. We hope to soon return to using our Beach Club, and returning to the way we were. We hope you’ll be reminded of memorable times and look to making new memories, as well as [...]
