Come grab a bite to eat and help support the club.
The Semaphore Surf Lifesaving Club is hosting cake stall fundraisers at the Woodville Bunnings Store on the following dates:
We are seeking help from any member to bake some cakes, slices and biscuits for the stall. Please no goods that contain ingredients that require refrigeration e.g. cream.
We are also able to sell jams and preserves if that is preferable.
If you could assist, please bring your goodies upstairs to the club on the Saturday beforehand (a list of ingredients is needed for the label which we are required for food safety requirements).
For further information please contact:
As you may have been aware for the last 3 months the Club has been trialling the use of volunteers from our senior membership in assisting the bar staff on certain days over the winter months.
Due to the success of this trial the Club would now like to extend this method of assisting the operations of the bar for the remainder of the 2016/17 season.
For the past 17 weeks the following 14 members have voluntarily provided their services and the Club wishes to sincerely thank them for their contribution to the revenue generation of the bar area; Carmel and Mick Kenny, Karen and Chris Mahney, Steve Weir, Steve Sims, David McGrath, John Stevens, Neil Bissett, Meagan Tunney, Geoff Cole, Ian Robbins, Jeff Bampton and Tony Lloyd.
For the extension of this voluntary assistance to the bar to proceed with the associated cost savings we are seeking further nominations to lighten the load (which is not too onerous anyhow) of those members from the above list that are willing to continue in this capacity. In addition three further members had indicated their willingness to help. They are Todd Bampton, Andrew and Paul Spencer.
The use of our dedicated bar staff will continue as normal and the volunteers will be rostered in teams on occasions when only one paid staff member is engaged and there are no functions or events booked for that day.
The typical duties of the volunteer would not be primarily directed to customer service, but in returning glasses and bottles to the bar, possibly re-stocking fridges, helping move chairs, changing kegs, using the glasses dishwasher and helping to lock up at the end of the shift. On very limited occasions it may be necessary to assist behind the bar with the bar staff operating the tills. These duties would only need to be performed if the bar staff are under pressure and cannot undertake these tasks without disrupting customer service.
With the new developments planned for the Club in the not so distant future we hope, it is important for the Club to maximise our sources of revenue to help pay for these improvements in facilities.
Any senior member interested in being included on the Volunteer Bar Assistant Roster, including those mentioned above, should place their name on the list posted on the notice board over the next 14 days. We need approx 25 volunteers to make the rosters work efficiently.
For more information please contact Steve Weir.
Get on down to our Canteen before training this Saturday and buy one of Semaphore Bakeries hot pies, pasties, sausage rolls and donuts. (In fact why not one of each 😜🍩.
We will also continue with our cheese toasties for $1. The cheapest cheese toasty in town.
After training, our hot chips, nachos, wedges and hot dogs will be available.
When placing your order and waiting for your pick up, remember that he canteen crew are all volunteers. Thank you for your support.
U11’s have canteen volunteer duty this week.
Hi Everyone,
Thank you for getting the season off to a great start. A reminder we are still looking for volunteers to help with the Under 6 & 7’s (sand crabs) and Under 9’s age groups. If you can assist in any way please let me know. It’s a great way to be involved in your child’s development and an opportunity to give back to the Club that will give so much to your child.
We have been a great fundraising opportunity coming up at Westfield West Lakes – Thursday October 13 and Friday October 14. We will have a Jet Ski on display and would like to see if we can roster people on for a couple of hours to rattle the cans and raise some money along the way. I would like to see if any of our R&R team members would be available on either day to give a demonstration. This invitation is extended to all club members and we would greatly appreciate it if we could staff our display on both days. Westfield has generously come on board for two years as a major sponsor of the club. We get the chance to be on display to the community for these two days, raising our profile and much needed funds. Please wear your club colours. Contact me if you can assist in any way.
