Semaphore SLSC have had a long tradition of success at R & R and we have the privilege to host the State Championship this year Sunday 3rd April from 8.30am onwards.
All members are encouraged to put a team together and volunteers will be required to help on the day so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Karen Mahney & Carmel Kenny have very kindly offered to cater for the day so why not come down to compete , to support , to help and be part of R & R States at Semaphore SLSC.
An excellent day on the beach with five team racing. And special thanks to Simsy, Johno, Bizz and Kirsty for keeping me sane and going in the right direction on the beach in the organised chaos.
Unfortunately we had to pull the undecideds and we hope Claire is feeling better from her unscheduled Surgery and returns soon
The U19s ran out of legs unfortunately with a fourth in their final but were able to back up in the U23s final and get Bronze. They also succeeded in a whole season of not helping to pack or unpack the boats before or after carnivals.
TROGs competed in Open men with an average age three times that of the A graders and were able to continually scare the As over the line in front of them. Excellent solid performance and good preparation for Aussies.
The Angry birds had their baby bird in their wings, Michelle, and had a terrific day with the highlight being in the charge with four boats over the wave in the last heat. Excellent performance and good conditions for Michelle’s first carnival.
JACCOs had a cracking day with eight rows covering 6.4 KMs at sprint pace. 2 rows for the Lifesaver relay coming 2nds in the boats both times with the team coming 4th in the final. JACCOs did their 3 heats (two first and one second) Semi (second) and made it into the Final with a very respectable Fourth. Hard earnt – terrific effort.
The U23s have been rowing for 6 months now, and came out with a shaky start to recover in the third heat pushing them into the final from which they got a very hard earned Bronze. Awesome outcome for their first year and very proud of their efforts. 2nd Women’s medal rowing in semaphore history, and first every Women’s 23 rowing medal.
Thanks to those Boaties that Supported the Saturday Patrol while the seniors were at Day two of State championships.
Last carnival is on 3rd April and getting ready for Aussies.
Please see attachments below regarding this weekend. These include marshaling lists for all events. Please don’t be panicked by the number of entries in each event, most clubs just enter everyone in everything. Also as per usual, all teams are not final, we may make changes on the day due to a number of situations. Marshaling will open from 7am in the club rooms, which will have to be done by all competitors, not team managers, or one person marshaling for a bunch of people.
Events are scheduled to kick off from 8am, so we will need everyone on the beach by 7am, to ensure we have enough time to marshall and warm up.
Also attached is the overall point score where we currently sit in 9th place, but not far behind a bunch of teams.
The other attachments include the final circular and programs for day two and 3.
Meals will be available from 5:30pm on Sunday and we do ask if people could book, to give our kitchen an idea of how many are coming. We will aim to start presentations around 7:30pm
Yes the Semaphore SLSC Footy Tipping Competition is on again this season. Cost to enter remains at $50.00 per person & must be paid in full by the 3rd round of the AFL season. Obviously the more people that enter, the greater the prize pool will be. There will be prizes for those in 1st, 2nd & 3rd placing at the end of the season, as well as a prize for the tipster who comes 6th last. Prize money will be finalised once all money has been received. As an added bonus if you put your selections in Thursday night over the bar at the club you receive a free drink (pint of keg beer or a glass of wine or a soft drink).
Full list of the competition rules will be given to those that enter the competition. If you are keen to be the best AFL tipster in the club & want bragging rights over other club members, please either put your name on the Footy Tipping Entry Form on the club’s upstairs notice board, or contact Chris Mahney atchris.mahney@cicaustralia.com.au prior to Tuesday 22nd March 2016.

Presentations where we will acknowledge our successes and thank our supporters will follow.
The club will have an extended licence for this night so we can celebrate the season that was!
South Port Classic – Excellent effort by those teams that turned up. The racing format was everybody was racing all the other crews, with crew successively knocked out in the rounds based on points plus age group races and finals at the end. All the teams did exceptionally well with special mention to the U23s with a ring in from Glenelg won the U23 finals and the JACCOs went all the way through the ten races to the final of four teams which were all A teams bar them. They also came away with the reserves winner for the day. Well done
