Carnival Time
It's the carnival time of the season and there is plenty of action in the coming months to get involved in.
Congratulations to all the competitors who competed in the 2020 SunSmart Country Carnival at Smiths Beach.
By all reports everyone had a great time, there were very solid performances both on the beach and in the water and of course, the Albany team spirit ran high!
Many thanks also to those who put considerable time into the planning and support required for the weekend.
On top of our own team organisational requirements, clubs do have allocation of roles to fill to support the carnival eg first aid, water safety and so we do thank those that did assist in this way.
Our next target carnival is the 2020 SunSmart Masters Championship and the SunSmart Country Championships 29 Feb and 1 March. This year the carnival is in Denmark and so the club are hoping to field large numbers of Albany competitors. It is a great carnival and I encourage you all to get involved, have a crack and represent your club! All the details are in this weeks RIP!
The Bendigo Bank Get In The Game Raffle
Many, many thanks to all our members who assisted in our part in this raffle and of course, congratulations to all the winners! Thanks also to the Albany Community Bank branch of Bendigo Bank for creating an opportunity for us as a club to raise much needed funds. Their efforts to inject such significant amounts of money into sport and recreation clubs and associations here in Albany is a welcomed initiative. A total of $71,835 was raised across 20 clubs and associations in four months. This is a fabulous outcome.
Whilst not quite our target of $15,000, we are very pleased to announce that the club has raised $9070. Many thanks to members for their efforts in raising much needed funds for the club. With less than 20% of our income derived from membership fees, fundraising is essential to support the operations of our club. Age group and individual winners for the most funds raised will be announced this weekend.
Our next big fundraiser it the Quiz night. Grab your friends and family and make sure you have booked a table! The inaugural Quiz night last year was a great night and a huge success!
See you on the beach!
Cheers
Sarah
President

2020 .... Albany SLS club is taking simple steps towards sustainability and we need your help.
Some simple steps we will be taking here at the club include:
Introducing recycling bins for bottles, cans, card and paper.
We encourage you to bring your own reusuable coffee cup
Composting bin for waste food on Sundays and functions.
Please note: there are 3 recycle bins, one will be located in the bar area and one outside the canteen on Sundays. They have yellow lids and are labelled with a recycling sticker. The bottles and cans MUST be empty before putting in bins. Please completely fill one bin before the next one is filled, as the club pays Cleanaway per bin to empty. Encourage your fellow clubbies to do the right thing.
If any one is interested in taking home the waste food for compost on Sundays please contact Corinne 0428376527
There are also plans to arrange a beach clean up in the New Year.
Club also hopes to sell 'keep cups' in club colours for those that don't already own a keep cup.
Thank in advance for getting 'on board' with looking after the future of our amazing Albany and beyond!
Please contact Corinne with feedback about the new plans and/or any other issues around sustainability
