Semaphore SLSC Constitution Update

Throughout season 2013/14 the Semaphore SLSC Board of Management has been undertaking a process of updating the constitution.  The updated version of the constitution has been developed using the best practice templates provided by Surf Lifesaving Australia and Surf Lifesaving South Australia.  A number of other clubs in South Australia have already adopted this template.  By adopting a constitution that aligns with the state and national bodies, Semaphore SLSC will ensure that all of its policies and procedures remain up to date.  The Board of Management is now seeking feedback on the draft constitution.  There will also be an information session for interested members to discuss the draft in detail.  The aim is to send out the final draft constitution to members with the Agenda for the 2014 AGM.  The updated constitution can then be discussed and voted on at the AGM.

Feedback can be forwarded to dalewelsh0@gmail.com or nbisset@bigpond.net.au

2014 Australian Titles in Perth!

Well done to our three club members, Bryanna Bisset, Jack Wells & Nic Schulz  who competed at Aussies this year.
They all did really well, with each one coming away with personal bests for this event.
The conditions on Monday and Tuesday were very average to say the least, but by the time Miss B arrived in Perth, conditions were perfect for her ski event where she finished in 11th place in her heat. Other highlights were Jack making it through to the semis in the swim, and Nic to the quarters in the board race.
Thanks to all the supporters and coaches and those from other clubs who provided assistance to our team on the beach.
