See you on the beach.
As we head into the second half of the 2014/15 season there are a number of events other than carnivals still to go before we reach State Titles for Masters (7/8 March), Juniors (21/22 March) and Seniors (15/28/29 March).
Senior Carnival 3 is again planned to be a ‘mobile’ event on the South Coast on Sunday January 11th.
At this stage the venue for all water events has not been confirmed. SLSSA will be checking conditions leading into the week-end and will make a decision on location from this. All people will be notified as early as possible and hopefully by Thursday 8th January at the latest.
See attached circular for full information – C14090 Senior Carnival 3 information
Events for male and female U15 (including U14s with SRC wishing to compete), U17, U19, and Open to include: –
Individual – 2k run *, sprints *, flags *, swim, iron, ski, board
Team – taplin, board relay, ski relay, double ski
* PLEASE NOTE – for this carnival the beach events are to be held at Seacliff SLSC on Friday January 9th 5pm.
The carnival point score system will again be implemented. Our points tally, although increasing can still be bettered.

This is our last official carnival before the State Titles campaign starts in March so let’s make it count!
