Harbord Diggers was honoured to sponsor and host a special celebration with Surfrider Foundation to mark International Surfing Day. Held on the eve of ISD Friday 19 June, the Club was joined by Australian world surfing champions and surfing royalty including Phyllis O’Donnell, Layne Beachley, Rabbit Bartholomew, Barton Lynch, Damien Hardman, Simon Anderson, Laura Enever, Jack McCoy and a host of other industry icons. The highlight of the event was the unveiling of the latest addition to Freshwater Headlands Surfers Walk of Fame by award-winning sculptor Mick Purdy. Showcasing all Australian World Champions up to Duke Kahanamoku’s Centenary of Surfing, this breathtaking surfboard sculpture will be on display in the Club shortly, before taking place on the Walk of Fame. ABOUT INTERNATIONAL SURFING DAY International Surfing Day is a worldwide celebration of the sport of surfing and an opportunity to give back to our coastal environments through various events organised by the Surfrider Foundation Branches, supporters and volunteers.
Founded in 2005 by Surfrider Foundation and Surfing Magazine, International Surfing Day started with nearly 16 domestic and one international event and has grown exponentially to include up to 200 events in more than 30 countries. For more information about Surfrider Foundation, and the great work that they do to protect ocean, waves and beaches, head to www.surfrider.org.au

The temporary club will be a smaller size to the current club and will be located in the current gaming, entry, old foyer and upstairs function space. While our temporary club will maintain key member areas, we are also introducing a brand new food and beverage venue with views stretching across our magnificent peninsula.
Harbord Diggers is very excited with the temporary club concept and can reveal that the interior design will boast a style that is fun, contemporary and rustic. The temporary club and new dining venue is set to be a fresh, new, contemporary offer that will provide fantastic views, great meals and a chic new coastal space for you to meet, eat, work or entertain. Below is a sneak peek of the proposed plan for the temporary Harbord Diggers Club:

1981 ‘Disco-robics’ Tuesday night in the dining room with over 200 people at 6.30pm and then 170 people at 8.00pm. This continued for two years until the Club started to worry about the strength and integrity of the floor with 200 people pounding up and down on it! The men were finally persuaded to vacate the aerobics room, a ladies change room was installed and so ended male/female segregation but alas, not without incident. The disco-robic classes, being the first and only ones on the peninsula, continued to gain momentum. Additional classes were added to the timetable, but unfortunately some of the men took objection to this - one man throwing a batball racket into a class hitting a woman! To ease the tension, nets were installed to divide the areas. 1984 Kay introduced the first aquarobics class and for the next two years, it was not uncommon to have 100 members in the pool per class.

PAGES OF HISTORY As we draw closer to closing the doors of Freshwater Health & Fitness and embarking on an exciting new chapter of exercise delivery with the redevelopment and Gfitness, we take a moment to wonder back throughout the years. 13 APRIL 1968 – the Harbord Diggers Sporting Complex opens with Gymnasium and Swimming Pool rules such as:
1969 Betty Cuthbert ran a Wednesday morning exercise class for Ladies Only. At this time there were no ladies change rooms, so the men’s change room was made available to women for the morning. There were very few weight machines (mainly handweights), no spa, and it cost 20 cents (including swimming costume and towel). This arrangement for Ladies Only was soon increased to Thursday nights 6pm - 9pm.
Smoking in the gymnasium and the swimming pool area will not be allowed, as cigarette butts and similar refuse damage the filtration equipment of the swimming pool, and exercises cannot be conducted in a smoke laden atmosphere.
1973 A Jazz Ballet class started and was conducted upstairs (now the cardio room). Originally this room was a private function area for the swim club, bowls, badminton etc. It contained a bar and BBQ facilities.
Drinking and carrying of glasses will not be permitted …. Broken glass cannot be effectively removed from tiles and remains a constant menace to members.
1977 Kay Barrett took over teaching the Jazz Ballet class and in 1980 introduced exercise to music. This was so popular the upstairs area could not hold the numbers, but because the men were unwilling to vacate the big hall downstairs (now the weights room, which was then used for batball and badminton), the dining room was used.
We will endeavor to work your muscles to a point of tiredness, but not fatigue and soreness which causes stiffness and discomfort.
1994 The Sporting Complex was extended with the squash court converted to a boxing room and mezzanine level and a new group exercise room (overlooking the ocean) introduced. 2001 Learn to Swim activities commenced and gradually grew overtime to become responsible for 25% of the revenue of the fitness business. Many of us will remember the gym during different stages since its conception. Many members (and staff) have been with the centre for a decade or more. It is a special place and we have fond memories and built life-long friendships. Unfortunately the grand old lady by the sea cannot withstand the rigors of the elements any longer, but with the foresight of visionary leaders a redevelopment plan was hatched and we can now safely say the legacy of the Harbord Diggers will live on during our lifetime, our children’s lifetime and the lifetime of our grandchildren of now and for years to come. We welcome a prospective future that will keep you fighting fit!
There are seven two-bedroom cabins that sleep five, two three-bedroom cabins that sleep seven, four modern two-bedroom duplexes that sleep six and our luxurious waterfront cottage that features panoramic views, has two bedrooms, a spa and sleeps five. Each cabin is self-contained and equipped with Austar TV.
