‘Whats Up Down Under’ Filming at Semaphore SLSC
A couple of weeks ago we had we had Channel 10 send down a TV Crew from ‘Whats Up Down Under’ to film a segment about Semaphore SLSC. Our very own Neil Bisset was interviewed, they did a sky dive and Neil and JT even took the TV Presenter for a ride in the IRB. Our section should feature in a couple of weeks time on a Saturday Afternoon on Channel 10 so keep a look out!

Semaphore SLSC Constitution Update
Throughout season 2013/14 the Semaphore SLSC Board of Management has been undertaking a process of updating the constitution. The updated version of the constitution has been developed using the best practice templates provided by Surf Lifesaving Australia and Surf Lifesaving South Australia. A number of other clubs in South Australia have already adopted this template. By adopting a constitution that aligns with the state and national bodies, Semaphore SLSC will ensure that all of its policies and procedures remain up to date. The Board of Management is now seeking feedback on the draft constitution. There will also be an information session for interested members to discuss the draft in detail. The aim is to send out the final draft constitution to members with the Agenda for the 2014 AGM. The updated constitution can then be discussed and voted on at the AGM.
Feedback can be forwarded to dalewelsh0@gmail.com or nbisset@bigpond.net.au
