In the late 1950s the Air Force bombed the channel in the estuary and this changed the river out flow straight out to sea.
Funds were raised by the club building and operating a skating rink on the domain.
Women were allowed to join as active members for the first time in 1972/73 and the club added a Junior Surf section in 1974/75.
This has changed since the late 1970s, when the local population started to grow significantly.
