NAMETAGS and complimentary wine allowed Margaret River business professionals to socialise with ease at the Shire President’s Sundowner on Thursday.
Held at Surfers Point, the event aimed to celebrate the Margaret River Pro and acknowledge all those who have helped make it a success this year.
On behalf of the Augusta Margaret River Shire councillors, Shire president Mike Smart thanked State and Federal Government for its funding, Margaret River Pro organisers including Mark Lane and Tim Thirsk of Surfing WA, and various members of the local community.
He commented on the “extraordinary” stretch of international coverage Margaret River was receiving through the Pro, and said the locals also deserved thanks for treating Surfing WA and ASP to their beautiful region.
