Looking forward to seeing our ‘new look’ on the beach!

The club’s Board of Management has commenced an update to the Club’s Strategic Plan. A facilitated session by an external Business Consultant (Voluntary) was held in early January & some terrific progress was made.

These sessions will continue over the coming month or so. BoM will keep members informed of progress during that time. As a starting point we have a suggested collective purpose of ‘Semaphore SLSC – Bringing people together’.

We look forward to involving you in this exciting new phase of the Club.

Congratulations to Nic Schulz and Teagan Richards who have made the South Australian team this year. This is the second year that Teagan has made the Youth Challenge Cup, an event aimed at introducing the youth into interstate representation. It’s the 3^rd straight year that Nic has made the team, the previous two times were as an U19. Nic becomes our first open state team representative in more than 15 years.

Nic and Teagan leave Wednesday with the state team, competing at Newport Beach (NSW) on Thursday 24^th of January. Interstates will be shown live on Foxsports channel 506 from 7:45am-10am then 2pm-4:30pm. Surf Lifesaving Australia will also be streaming the event live on their Facebook page.

Nic and Teagan will stay in NSW, competing at the Manly and Freshwater carnivals over the Australia Day weekend before returning home.

We wish them all the best with their racing.
