Welcome back everyone to Lyall Bay Surf Lfe Saving Club for
2012.
Tuesday night this week was one of those superb summer evenings
down at the bay; a great surf, sun, no wind and lots of clubbies
out there enjoying the waves. I counted 2 boats, 1 canoe and about
40 people out on boards, skis and body surfing from the club. There
were plenty of members of the public on the beach enjoying the
evening and the entertainment that you all put on with your
training and skills in the surf.
From now until the end of the summer is a busy time for the club
with major competitions for both seniors and juniors around the
country and plenty of lifegaurding and event safety still to
do.
There are sqauds and crews training every night now but there is
always room for more. if you want to have a go on a ski, board or
in a boat or canoe -even if you are a beginner -please contact the
coaches/administrator or show up for a session as they are keen to
get more club members involved and are very willing to teach you. I
believe the Monday night track sessions at Newtown Park are very
popular with a mix of young and old doing some sprint
training.
Congratulations to the team who won the Central Regionals
competition last weekend. You were all a pleasure to take away; no
dramas, no trouble and everyone approaches being organised and
racing in a professional way. It's not often a group of teenagers
are complimented like that but surf life saving is about developing
leaders and our cub members certianly step as great members of the
community.
Keep an eye out on our new club website, facebook group and also
our weekly emails so you know what is happening and don't miss out
on anything.

caroline.sarfati@gmail.com with your accommodation and transport
requirements. We have accommodation booked for all the athletes
(around 40) plus 20 adults, and two vans. She needs to know
who needs accommodation and transport. It will be allocated
on a first come first served basis. This time we are staying at the
Mt Apartments not the back packers where we have stayed for the
past few years.
We also need two volunteers to drive the vans - this will mean
that these drivers do not pay the transport fee.
