This Saturday will be your last chance to grab a bite to eat from the Club Canteen.
Open before and after junior training with the usual suspects on the menu: Chips, Wedges and Nachos.
U/9’s have duty. Please wear closed in shoes. We need at least 5 helpers.
There are exciting times ahead for the Club. We are progressing well through the various approval stages for our Club redevelopment and as the indicative start date of physical works is scheduled for January 2018, the detailed design phase of the project has begun.
The Club is seeking the input of interested members to provide ideas and suggestions on many aspects of the redevelopment to inform our final design.
A meeting for that purpose will be conducted by our project manager, John Kantilaftas on Sunday the 5th of March at 3:00pm at the club.
Information gathered at the meeting will be provided to the architects to be considered as part of their design concept development.
We look forward to receiving your valued input.

Semaphore SLSC has the great honour of hosting this year’s Junior State Titles on March 17th, 18th and 19th. It’s a massive event for our Club and one that will no doubt be successful. The success of it is up to ALL of us involved at the Club.
These events don’t run themselves though and so we are seeking the support of our wonderful membership to make this a cracker! For a few weeks now several lists have been circulating and members have been encouraged to select a job and time-slot. We appreciate those members that have already signed up, some for several shifts across the two days. But there are still several gaps across the two days, particularly the Food and Drink Tents.
Whilst this is a Juniors carnival, it’s a whole club event and that means that we are all going to benefit from it and we are all responsible for it’s success. We are looking for parents from Juniors, as well as Seniors, Masters and non-competing members to share the load. Many hands make light work! So many of us receive great benefits from our Family Club. We have a tireless team of volunteers, week in week out, that get the job done. Let’s make sure it’s not left up to those same people to cover such a significant event.
So let’s do this team! Find a reason to make a difference. Part of being in a Club is contributing to the Club. We know we have got the right members to take this on board. Make the commitment and share in the experience of the weekend.
Please text Lorren on 0432 497 107 and help make our Family Club a place to be proud of.
After reviewing entries for Senior States Day 1, the Youth Cameron heats will not be run this weekend.
All those entered this weekend have automatically qualified for the Cameron finals that will be run on day 3 of States as per program.
** No further entries will be taken for this event ( Please note: Youth Male may need to run a semi on Day 3 pending conditions at Moana).
Day 2 & 3 programs will be released in the coming days.
We have reviewed the officials quota for Senior States Day 1, due to only running two water Arenas & No sprints or flags for this event.
Clubs who required 2- 4 officials have dropped by 1, clubs who required 5+ officials has dropped by 2. Updated requirements can be found in the attached circular.

Sadly I have to share news, for those who don’t already know, that our longest serving current member Gary ‘Gus’ Wickman passed away on Saturday evening.
Gus has been a member of our club since 1959 and has represented the club in competition up until about 6 years ago as a very successful swimmer, as an R&R competitor a bit further back and has continued coaching in R&R. He will be dearly missed by all those who have come to know him as not only a great club person but as a true gentleman. Gus loved his club as much as those who knew him, loved him. He was still very socially active from his Sunday afternoon Crib games with Peter, Thursday and Friday nights at the bar, to his overseas travel and even his ‘boys long weekend’ at the Cox Plate last year. He always had something on the go.
An avid reader, a traveler, a competitor, a coach and above all, a friend, a club man and a family man.
Vale Gus
A funeral ceremony will be held this Thursday 16th February at 2.30pm at Tony Monte, on the corner of Webb Street and Old Port Road. For those wishing to share some time remembering Gus, family and friends will be welcomed at the club for a wake after the funeral service from about 4pm.

Canteen is open early this week for the Semaphore Gold and seniors training. Come and get your fresh fruit salad (with or without yoghurt).
Pies, pasties, sausage rolls, yummy donuts and hot toasties are all on the menu.
Come down early, cheer on the Semaphore Gold competitors and support your club. Cold drinks available too.
Thanks to Under 12s (and a ring in effort from Jay Atwell) for filling in last week with a sausage sizzle to allow the Canteen Crew to enjoy a well earned break supporting our seniors competitors down at Robe.
Please note the correction to the Masters Circular below (and updated circular attached):
The Masters Surf Boat State Championships will be held at South Port, not Aldinga. In addition please find attached a notice from South Port for after the carnival.
Please familiarise yourself with the current SLSA policy 5.9 – Masters Competition Policy
In addition we will send out the full event list on Monday.
Any questions please contact Abbey or I.
