Junior Club Captains 2022/23!

Congratulations to Ky Bampton and Amelia Zappia!

Recently our U13 Nippers took part in the democratic process of selecting our Junior Club Captains for 2022/23 season. Poppy, Georgie and Amelia and Dylan, Joel and Ky all spoke in front of their peers and life members Raelene Donnell, Steve Weir and Paul Breden. All six of the U13 applicants spoke beautifully, each giving their reasons as to why they would make great leaders. Well done to all of the young members who applied for the roles, you all did an amazing job. The voting process resulted in both Ky and Amelia winning the positions!

.

Ky Bampton, a club member since he was a baby, and Amelia Zappia, a club member since she joined U7’s, are both hard working, resilient and help out with anyone that needs a hand. Both young members take on all the challenges that being a Nipper can present, competing in all carnival events and at State Titles, both medalling in a range of physical events and both in the technical March Past gold winning team and Ky in the R&R gold winning team.

.

Both Ky and Amelia love the ocean component of surf, are very strong swimmers and have represented their school and our club and medalled in many events. Ky’s favourite surf event is the iron person and Amelia’s is the swim.

.

They both look forward to representing the club as their best selves this season, being there for their peers, helping out younger Nippers in need and raising some money towards Ky’s idea of a club basketball ring.

.

Being patrolling members and Age Group Assistants with the younger Nippers is something they are both looking forward to next season!

.

Congratulations Ky and Amelia, you are outstanding young members of this great club and will go on to do great things!
