Membership Structure Review Committee
The Board of Management (BOM) would like to put out a call out for members interested in being involved in a Sub-Committee tasked with undertaking a review of Semaphore SLSC’s current membership pricing structure. The aim will be to put forward a proposal to the BOM on what changes should be made to the membership categories and associated pricing, if accepted, then these changes will be applied from the beginning of the 2023/24 season. The brief from the BOM is quite open ended, with some of the issues to potentially be considered:
· Potential for user pays structure around surf competition fees.
· Membership categories, age groups, competition status, family membership, social membership etc.
· Potential for considering volunteer activities in membership structure.
The committee would meet 2-3 times across Feb-Apr, with recommendation at end of April. If you are interested in participating, then please send a message to club treasurer, Brad Clee, by email Treasurer@Semaphoreslsc.com.au
Call for Semaphore SLSC’s next Club Treasurer!
Are you someone who has an interest in numbers and understanding how the club’s operations work? Then you may be interested in becoming the club’s next Club Treasurer! At the end of this season, Brad will be stepping aside from the Treasurer role he has held for 5 years. He ideally would like to be able to hand the role over to someone who is fresh, keen to work through a range of experiences and is looking forward to the club’s exciting future.
If you feel you might have any interest in this area, then please give Brad a call (0475075822) to organise a time to catch up at the club to discuss what’s involved.
Bar & Bistro Price Review
The Board of Management (BOM) would like to inform members that effective from January 19th, a series of price increases will be implemented across the bar and bistro products. Unfortunately, with the club facing rising cost pressures across all areas of operation, it is essential that our prices increase to ensure the club remains financially viable.
In addition, the club will be implementing an EFTPOS charge on all purchases across the bar, or through the new Me&u table ordering application, where the payment method is by card. It was determined to be preferable to recover these rising banking costs on a user pays basis by an EFTPOS fee, rather than further raise the prices across the board which would impact those who pay in cash.
Thank you for your understanding,
The Board of Management

We are very happy to report that thanks to our local Good Samaritan, Adam from Semaphore, our missing first aid kit was safely returned to us!
Over the Christmas long weekend, our surf life saving volunteers from Semaphore SLSC accidentally left a first aid kit on the beach near the Semaphore jetty while attending to an incident.
Adam found it on the beach and took it home when he realised that it had been forgotten.
A huge thanks to Adam and to everyone else who shared the post on social media as well to help us find it, your efforts were greatly appreciated!
