Club Championships Map 2014-15

As you can see from the program this will be a busy but fun-filled afternoon.  As a result we are asking for ALL competitors be at the club ready to go by 12pm (only a little earlier than usual for the Juniors).

By holding a whole of club Club Champs day the Juniors will have a chance to watch the Senior group ‘in action’ and  the Seniors will have an opportunity to support the Junior squads.

With the program not likely to wind up until approximately 5pm a sausage sizzle along with bottled water and iceblocks will be provided on the beach from 3pm.

The day doesn’t end with the competition though!

Stay at the club and enjoy Valentine’s Day evening with wood oven pizzas (at a small cost), a few drinks and the entertainment provided by a jukebox/karaoke machine (which is sure to provide a few laughs!!).

Let’s make this a ‘Clubbies’ day/night to remember!!!

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.

The carnival point score system will again be implemented. Our points tally, although increasing can still be bettered.  This can only be done with a good team of competitors – something we are improving on with every carnival!  This is our last official carnival before the State Titles campaign starts in March so let’s make it count!
