Cook up a storm

We have passed the shortest day of the year and summer isn’t too far away, but there is still time to those perfect snacks to take to the beach.

Nut-free apricot delight bliss balls

Ingredients
1 tablespoon white chia seeds
1 cup soft juicy apricots
1 cup traditional rolled oats
2 tablespoons honey
1 1/4 cups desiccated coconut

Method
Combine chia seeds and 1/4 cup water in a small bowl. Stand for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until mixture has thickened.

Place chia mixture, apricots, oats, honey and 1 cup coconut in a food processor. Process until well combined and mixture forms a thick paste-like consistency.

Nipper of the year

Congratulations to Surf Life Saving SA Club Nipper of the Year award winners for Semaphore – Jackson and Erin.

The Nipper of the Year Award is presented to an outstanding Nipper member (U13), as nominated by their club in recognition of their achievement in all areas of Surf Life Saving, including actively participating in the Surf Life Saving community and for being excellent role models.

The club opening again on the weekend meant the awards could be presented in front of a small gathering of U13’s.

The club will look to present the junior 2019/20 club awards once changes in restrictions allow larger gatherings.

It is great to see seniors training again!

Board training has once again kicked off on a Wednesday night.

There are a few changes that everyone needs to abide by to make sure seniors are training safely, including breaking into smaller groups, keeping 1.5m apart and making sure there is no sharing of drink bottles or craft. People are also asked to put their name down ahead of time to assist with planning groups.

Don’t forget your high vis, wetsuit and head torch.

If you would like more information about seniors training please contact Craig Andrews (0419 238 164).
