Another reminder that the Senior Carnival 1 will be held Sunday 27th November at Moana SLSC.  Nominations for this carnival need to be in to Kerry Schulz (kschulz1000@gmail.com) by Tuesday 22nd November so Kerry has time to enter then into the system by close of nominations.

 

Events to be held:

U17-Open- Swim, Board, Ski, Sprints, Flags, Iron Person and Taplin

14/15s- Swim, Board, Sprints, Flags, Iron

Masters- Flags, Sprints, Swim, Board and Ski

Flags and Sprints for all age groups will be run Friday November 26th at Seacliff. Program to follow.

 

This is the first time specific Masters events have been held at a regular carnival like this, so it would be great to see our budding masters give some events a shot, to gain some experience for Masters State titles later in the season.

 

Trailer loading for this event will take place on Saturday 26th November directly after nippers.

 

For more information click on this link senior-carnival-one-information or contact Craig Lienert.

Board training for Female Senior Competition Group

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

 

female-boarder

Our Youth development officer Jennifer Hansen has organized ongoing girl’s board training sessions. The main reason for this is to encourage our young women to continue training and to facilitate the transition from juniors into seniors as competitors and active patrolling members.

Paige Purdie has put her hand up to run these sessions and has begun working on the program which will involve more team work and fun orientated sessions instead of “Full On” training.  Any girls with SRC or Bronze are encouraged to come along and join in the fun. If you already know Paige you know it will be fun!

The first session will be on Thursday the 24th November, starting 5.00pm at the club. For more details contact Paige Purdie  paigepurdie@gmail.com
