Voice of Byron and KWIMABB stalwart and supporter, Byron Bay electrician Geoff Bensley, is seeking the origins and members list of the Gorilla Ball competition held Sunday mornings at the Byron Bay Surf Life Saving Club last century.
Geoff says, “Gorilla Ball at Byron Bay was a Sunday tradition.
“Some of the crew were: Ken Maughan, Donald Maughan, George Morrison, Ron Collier, Trevor King, Rick Hultgren, Tom Mooney, Peter Kendall,
Allen Bennett, Clay Jacobsen, Gary Booth.
“I need help with adding names of the original crew and dates of when it first started.”
We clubbies and surfers all remember well watching the big “SILVER-BACKS” Battle it out two against two over the rope on sunday morns in the 80s n 90s !!! I loved that season in my home town !!
#BringBackTheGorillas !!!!
