Junior News

What a great start to our Nippers Season on Sunday!

Our Under 6s were all smiles as they were introduced to our Club - particularly being able to have a sit in the IRB - thankyou Dave!  

Our Under 12s were given an added incentive, a ride in the IRB to shark nets, if they were able to get past the break!!

Huge smiles all around and huge thanks to our Juniors Committee, Age Managers/Assistants, Patrol - led by Greg Woods, IRB Captain - Rob Madew and Director of Surf LIfesaving - Adrian Wegryzn.

SRC - 2019 group started their training on Saturday - all passing their proficiencies and set for completing their training over the next few weeks! Special thanks to Emanuel and Zac in training this special group.

We also give thanks to all parents/caregivers helping us to be COVID safe by pre registering for their session, and keeping the required distance.  Let's keep this up!

****CALLOUT - UNIFORM SHOP VOLUNTEERS***

Our Uniform shop has been excellently handled over the last few years by Amy Preston and Mhairi Coghill. Understandably, they would like to step back from this role to enable them to pursue other interests.

We are looking for at least 1-2 volunteers to help continue the running of the Uniform shop and Clothing website.

Please contact - Juniors.chairman@bilgolaslsc.org.au for further information on the role.

Looking forward to another great day!

Juniors Chairman

 

Skills Maintenance 

This season marks a huge shift in the way we conduct surf lifesaving operations and we request all active members complete their online skills maintenance ASAP. 

Online skills maintenance is where patrolling members will be educated and equipped with the new information they need to patrol this season. On account of COVID, online skills maintenance also covers off the dry components for Bronze/SRC holders, leaving only the wet proficiencies to be done in-person. Because we will be starting this soon on the beach, please complete the online. You will need to provide a printed certificate of completion of the online component to finish off with your wet proficiency.

For information on the new changes to Bronze and SRC, please see the video and info page below.
