Slow cooked lamb shanks served with creamy mash infused with mushrooms and steamed broccolini

1 Shank $20.
2 Shanks $25.
Make your booking ASAP with Aina. While you’re at it, why not pay your membership online? Then take your receipt in to claim your 10% off at the bistro on Friday night.
(the photo is only a representation of lamb shanks but I reckon it will look something like that and besides, it will taste awesome.)
Foodland Community Dollars Program
The Semaphore Surf Life Saving Club is introducing a new fundraising initiative with the Community Dollars Program from Drake Foodland Supermarkets of SA.
When making a purchase at ANY Drake Foodland Supermarket in SA, scan the keytag barcode at the register and 1 cent from EVERY $2 spent will go to the Semaphore Surf Life Saving Club. This may not sound like much but if 50 members per week spent $200 that equates to $50 every week to the Club, $2600 per year.
So please collect a tag from the bowl on the bar at the club, place it on your key ring, or take it with you when you go shopping and you can help our club.
Thanks,
Heather Sibley

2014/15 membership payments and renewals now online
You asked for it and it’s finally here! You can now renew your membership and pay online!
No more waiting inline at the club. This year online membership payments and renewals are finally here. You can even pay your competition levy at the same time and get an itemised receipt. For all the details of how to do it, go to the membership page and see the handy how-to video or follow the step by step image guide at the bottom of the membership page.
The process is pretty straight forward but you will need to ensure you input the correct amounts and itemise your inputs manually. Unfortunately this is a limitation of the payment gateway provided to us however there is a handy price list both on the payment screen at lifesavingonline.com.au and on the membership page.
Early birds before 26/10/14
If you pay before the 26th of October (online or at the club) you will get an early bird discount. Full discount details are available on the membership page and dates and times for membership payments and renewals in person will be published soon.
We really want you to pay online!
We understand that not everyone has a credit card or likes to pay online but paying at the club does result in a lot more manual work. So as a special reward for online payments before the 26/10/2014 you will also receive 10% off at the Bistro. Just bring your online receipt (an email on your phone/iPad or a printed version) in before the end of October 2014 and show the staff when ordering to claim your discount.
