Senior training camp

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

We have boooked in the Chiton Rocks SLSC for a senior training camp which is open to all season 15/16 U14s and above, for the weekend of Fri 30th Oct-Sun 1st Nov.

Cost is $22 per person per night, we have received a discount because all qualified attendees will be doing Chiton’s patrol on the Saturday.

All food will be organised for the attendees, which will come at a further cost which will be circulated closer to the event (after the shop is done).

 

Karin Humphrey needs DEFINITE numbers ASAP so the booking can be confirmed. Sleeping arangements are a large dorm, so everyone will need to bring their own sleeping bags and pillows.

 

As our new U14s will not yet have their SRC we will require sufficient water cover to allow them to get the most out of there surf experience.

Let’s get this season underway with a camp that has been so successful at team bonding and developing new surf skills.

Radio Room 2015/16 season

/0 Comments/in /by

Hi All,

As part of our Patrol Requirements we are required to provide 2 Bronze Medallion Holders to man the SurfCom Radio Room on three dates this season.

The dates are (between 11:30am and 6pm):

  • Sunday the 11th of October
  • Saturday the 12th of December
  • Tuesday the 26th of January (Australia Day)

If you are interested in assisting us meet these requirements please contact me on georgiarobbins47@gmail.com.

Please note no experience is required, you will be provided with sufficient supported and partnered with someone with experience.  It is not a difficult task and as long as you are Bronze Qualified you will be more than capable of handling it! Every season we struggle to meet this requirement and rely on a small number of people so would be great to increase the number of people capable of assisting as we could then split these dates into shifts, meaning a smaller commitment for all!

Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or to express your interest, will be much appreciated!

Cheers,

Georgia Robbins

dl_invitation_template-image-003Ladies it is your time to shine. Surf Life Saving SA has introduced their #surfsisterslevelup social media campaign. This campaign is designed encourage and motivate SA women to get involved or enrich their experience in Surf Lifesaving and take it to the next level.

Anyone can level up and you can choose to level up in any way that suits you.

For example; A Nipper Mum might want to do her Bronze Medallion, a Beachie might want to have a crack at rowing boats, you might do the next level up in your first aid training or put your hand up for a leadership role at your club or decide to start your journey as a coach or an official.
click on the links below for some inspiration and opportunities to level up this season!
