November Update

Congratulations to Shane Hoffman & Matt Model on becoming the first club members to complete their bronze medallion this season.  It was great to see them both on the beach, patrolling and helping out with water safety at Nippers in the rain yesterday.  Michelle Garvan's crew have almost completed their course which will give a club about 15 more qualified bronze medallion holders before Xmas.

Nippers families please change your calendars.  The Nippers Xmas party will now be held on Sunday 8 December immediately following Nippers.  We will still run a normal Nippers session on 22 December.

Club Xmas party is on Saturday 7 December.  Hawaiian Night with plenty of fun.  Look out for more information shortly.

The weather forecast for this weekend is a bit of a worry.  We know our Nippers are tough and resilient but we wont be making them trudge through the mud a Diamond Head on the weekend.  We will liaise with our friends from the WBH Nippers and make a decision on Thursday morning regarding the Nippers Camping Weekend.  Check your emails and text messages on Thursday.

Great News !! We have been successful in obtaining a grant from Coastline Credit Union to obtain 10 new nippers soft boards and two new concertina fuel cells for our IRB's.  The gear is already on order and should hit our beach soon.  Thanks Coastline.

Please check out our website for information on our sponsors and supporters.  It is pleasing that none or our current sponsors and supporters have formal sponsorship agreements with our club - they are local businesses who believe in surf life saving and support us and our kids.  Please take some time to familiarise your self with who is supporting our club and keep this in mind when you are deciding which local businesses to spend your money at.

Well done everyone on a great start to the season.  Its pleasing to see so many new and old members getting stuck in.

Stay safe.  See you all on the beach soon.
