The Elliott Heads Surf Life Saving Club is gearing up for its much-loved Annual Ham Wheel and Major Raffle Draw, a long-standing community tradition that brings families, friends and locals together for an afternoon of fun. Held overlooking the coastline at the Elliott Heads Surf Lifesaving Club, the event runs for two hours and creates a lively atmosphere full of excitement, friendly competition and community spirit. With the first spin of the ham wheel starting at 4pm, families are encouraged to arrive from 3.30pm to settle in, grab a comfortable spot and enjoy the relaxed coastal setting.

Across the afternoon, families can take part in the ham wheel rounds and major prize raffles, with plenty of chances to win hams and other festive goodies.
