Patrol members needed for this year’s City to Bay

/0 Comments/in /by

Westpac, partners of SLSA, are once again supporting this year’s City to Bay and are looking for volunteers to assist with providing basic first-aid.

If you have some free time between 8am to 12:00pm this Sunday, 15th September, and would like to take part, please call Andrew Edwards on 0409 692 522.

Volunteers will be helping out in Westpac’s “Red Zone,” at the end of the race route in Colley Reserve, Glenelg. First aiders will be required to wear patrol uniforms to enter the “Red Zone” and will be asked to wander around the zone and offer assistance were needed. Volunteers can access free food and drinks in the zone and are able to officially log patrol hours.

Feel free to assist for as little or as long as you like.

Calling volunteers and cupcake makers for the local cross country carnival!

/0 Comments/in /by

On Tuesday September 17, for the seventh year running, we will be providing food and drinks for competitors and supporters at the Port District SAPSASA Cross Country carnival.

It’s a wonderful local event for our kids and we need helpers to make the day a success.

We are calling for volunteers to help with cooking and serving the BBQ for as little or as long as you can assist. Runs approx 8:30am – 1:30pm.

Also any budding MasterChef cupcake makers out there who can supply some cupcakes to sell for $1 each would be appreciated. We had over 200 cupcakes donated last year and we sold out!

Please contact Trudy on 0408 824 789 or Brad on 0412 073 688 if you are able to assist.

End of Season Footy Tipping Results

/0 Comments/in /by

Last Sunday at the Club saw the wrap up of the 2019 Footy Tipping Competition with some surprising results. The hidden rounds really made a difference this year as everyone was expecting Wanga Robbins to take out the big prize, but that wasn’t the case.

2019/20 Nippers Program

/0 Comments/in /by

30 DAYS TO GO

We’ve had a great start to planning this season, with a lot of Nipper parents and members of the Youth Group volunteering for official and non-official jobs.

We are also putting together a Semaphore SLSC Junior Handbook/Policy Book that will contain all the information parents need to know for the upcoming season. The handbook will be available ~Week 3-4 of the season.

A friendly reminder to returning parents to please welcome and help out any new parents or kids that may look a bit lost at the start of the season. Semaphore SLSC has long been known as a Family Club and we want to ensure that the tradition continues.

Attire Requirements for ALL Training Sessions

With the start of the surf season just a month away, it is a good time to remind everyone of the dress requirements.

Nippers are required to wear a Semaphore SLSC skull cap, along with a broad brimmed hat, a long sleeved rashie/training top and a hi-vis top to all training sessions, including board training.  

Hi-Vis Top
Accepted colours are yellow / pink / combination pink-yellow.  Green and faded hi-vis tops will not be accepted as per Surf Life Saving SA guidelines.  

** Please note: members that do not meet these requirements will not be allowed to train**

Junior Program Recruitment

We are still looking for someone to be the Under 8’s Assistant Age Group Manager. If you are interested please e-mail Steph on juniorsec@semaphoreslsc.com.au.

It doesn’t stop there though. We are in dire need of parents to help with various roles including Officials at carnivals, Media Officers and Child Protection Officers. You don’t need to commit to doing these roles every week, but if you are interested in getting a bit more involved and can lend a hand every now and then throughout the season, please contact Steph on juniorsec@semaphoreslsc.com.au.
