It is great to see the members of the public making an effort to “Swim Between The Red & Yellow Flags”. The club is trialling a flashing warning light on one of the “Swim Between The Flags” Signs, with the aim to get beach-goers coming out of the park at the northern end of the beach to read the sign and “Swim Between The Flags”.
PATROLLERS NEEDED
We need volunteers to fill Saturday Patrols in December and January, and on Christmas Day. Contact Club Captain Anthony Rooskie. A batch of new lifesavers are completing their Bronze Medallions and Surf Rescue Certificates. We’ve had a mix of current and new members in training for these awards over six weeks. Well done to all the candidates and the club’s training team.
On Saturday, 21 November some of the club’s lifesavers and future patrol captains completed their Silver Medallion Beach Management training. A great group of members are completing their IRB Drivers and Crew awards, so they’re able to actively patrol the length of the beach.
NIPPERS’ SECOND CUP EVENT
With a combination of our Sunday morning activities and weekday water training, there has been a massive increase in nippers’ confidence in the water. If you want to get your children into nippers, visit www.stanwellparksurfclub.com On 13 December the nippers will take part in their second Carl Williams Cup, which gives them exposure to a surf carnival-like atmosphere. The nippers will participate in swim, board, sprint, marathon and flags events as teams. Good luck! 40
YEARS OF WOMEN IN SLSC
To celebrate 40 Years of Women in Surf Life Saving, the club will put an all-female patrol on the beach on 31 January 2021. After the patrol all past and present female life savers are invited to attend a special luncheon with a special guest speaker. Invitations will be sent out in December 2020. We are looking forward to celebrating this tremendous landmark in surf life saving.
NEW: SATURDAY NIGHT DRINKS
Friday Night Drinks are back – 4 December will be a catered event. Bookings are essential. Saturday Night Drinks are now a thing. Following the success of Samaras Foodtruck on 21 November, they will be back on 12 December from 4:30–7:30pm with the Surf Club Bar open.
The Red & Yellow Flags are up on Stanwell Park Beach between 9am and 6pm every day during summer. Please swim only when lifesavers or lifeguards are on duty and only Swim Between The Red & Yellow Flags.
