1988 Margaret Raver by Serene Conneeley & Peter Bonner

On March 11, 1988, the Daily News published an article titled Margaret Raver by Margaret River surfers Serene Conneeley and Peter Bonner. It highlights local concerns regarding the increasing frequency of surf contests in the area.

After lobbying from the newly founded Beach User’s Group (BUG), the Augusta-Margaret River Shire has limited competitions to six events at the Point each year.
