Student Loans go Zero Percent Interest

If you have a student Loan from the Student Loans company you will pay no interest on it over the next 12 months, this is because the interest rate is linked to inflation which went to -0.4% in September. Sounds like good news, however the rate should be -0.4% and the government scamed us by setting it at 0%.

You can sign this petition to let the scammers know you are not happy with their actions:

Wildstyle 2009

Rosy is Sponsoring the Wildstyle competition in Culdaff this October:

Wildstyle Surf Comp 2009

This years event will take place on the Weekend of the 3rd of October. The competition is open to anyone who can surf, any age, any vehicle (except boats!), and there will be prizes for winners, runners up, and best wipe-out, plus there is a Brand New Hand Shaped Rosy Surfboard to be won on the Day for most radical Manovure (Independantly Juged).

There is free camping in the Dunes at the beach, but if you need more creature comforts there is bed and breakfast at 35 Euro per person just a walk from the beach, or alternatively it works out cheap for a few people to rent one of the many holiday homes in the area.

There will be a prize giving and nightly entertainment in the Caratra Bar, See you there, hopefully the right will crank.

Portballintrae needs your Love

There is a petition running to get the water quality of one of the North Coasts best surfing beaches improved. Has to be signed before the end of August, so get on it.

“Getting a beach classified as an ‘EU bathing water’ brings with it environmental improvements that make the beach cleaner and safer for everyone to use.

From June to September, beaches designated as bathing waters benefit from weekly water quality testing, improved litter management and better facilities that help the public enjoy their time spent at the beach.”
