Seniors Winter Training Camp – Chiton Rocks
With winter training now underway we thought it was time to organise a training camp for all of our seniors (including the 2016/17 U14s).
This is a great team bonding opportunity and a good chance to get some practice in some decent surf.
We have booked Chiton Rocks SLSC for two nights over the weekend of Friday 5th – Sunday 7th August at a cost of $30 per person per night.
The accommodation area sleeps a maximum of 26 (20 single bunks and 3 doubles).
Confirmation of numbers needs to be given as soon as possible so if you are interested in attending please email Karin Humphrey at kaz412@bigpond.com by Fri 24th June.
The club will invoice members for payment.
As the new season U14s do not yet have their SRC we will also be asking for support from parents and/or anyone else with their Bronze that is keen to help to provide assistance with water cover during the training sessions which are likely to occur Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. Depending on the departure time from the club on Friday 5/8 there may also be a brief training session late that afternoon.
Please note – Sunday 7th August is also the club’s AGM so we are asking that all of those attending the camp come back to the club on Sunday afternoon at 3pm to show their support and ensure we get the numbers needed to allow our AGM to proceed.
Pool Rescue State Champs Training Sessions
As has previously been advertised – Pool Rescue State Championships are to be held on Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th July.
This is the last event of the 2015/16 season and is open to current (15/16) U12s and above.
Details re nominations will be sent out soon.
In order to support all those that are keen to enter gain an understanding of and practice the various races to be held we have organised 3 training sessions at The Parks Recreation and Sports Centre (Cowan Street Angle Park).
These sessions will be held on Saturday 25th June, Saturday 2nd July and Saturday 9th July from 1.30–3.30pm and will be coached by Trent Bampton and Sean McKenzie.
There will be NO cost to participate in training as this has been fully funded by the club.
We are hoping to have a strong team at Pool Champs this year so come along to the training sessions and see what a great and fun event this is!
Lifemember nomination
The Semaphore SLSC is calling for any Lifemember nominations for the upcoming AGM. Any nominations should be submitted to the Club Secretary at sslsc@bigpond.net.au no later than July 3rd.
To nominate a member for Life Membership please read and follow the below process.
- You will need to complete a nomination form (see link)
- Please attach sufficient supporting documentation to this nomination so it can receive appropriate consideration by the Life Membership Committee.
- This form should establish a case for special service (i.e. applicable to the nominee, extraordinary, exception and/or distinctive service to the Semaphore SLSC) not simply a list of positions and awards held, because this simply establishes a case for long service, not for Life Membership.
- The nomination should ensure that as much relevant information as possible is included.
- Members nominated for Life Membership are held in high esteem within Semaphore SLSC and it is the responsibility of the persons sponsoring the nomination to take the time to mount a case by completing this form as required.
Nominations are to be presented to the Board at the meeting immediately preceding the Annual General Meeting.
On the endorsement of two thirds majority of the Board, the nomination shall be presented to the Annual General Meeting for its consideration. If you have any questions regarding this process please contact Mick Kenny 0498 492 409 ormckenny@internode.on.net .
