Notice 4: Bistro Manager Update

I have one volunteer for this very important role, but the lady who has put her hand would prefer to share the job.
If you are willing to help out in a now shared role of Bistro Manager, please let me know.
If you need more information on what the role involves, please write to me and I will give you a brief outline.
As I said last week, the Club Bistro over the summer months is the major social scene in Broulee on a Friday night.
The crowds of locals & visitors help the club earn significant funding through bar sales, and a small profit through the Bistro itself.
These bar profits represent the 'bread & butter' funding needed to keep the club ticking over.
Please put your hand up for this job if you can.

Notice 5: Sunday Swim

Swim is on this Sunday at North Broulee 9:00am.

For the your club to function effectively, we need an active and committed committee.

Notice 4: Bistro Manager

The Club Bistro over the summer months is the major social scene in Broulee on a Friday night.
The crowds of locals & visitors help the club earn significant funding through bar sales, and a small profit through the Bistro itself.
These bar profits represent the 'bread & butter' funding needed to keep the club ticking over.
Unfortunately, at this stage we have no dedicated Bistro Manager for this Summer.
If anyone is willing to help out in this role, or even share the role, please let me know.
As per usual, we will be rostering on the Nipper parents to assist - but we need a manager/coordinator.

Notice 3: Branch Conference

Last Weekend I, along with Gordon Harris, Lynda McKay and David Law, attended a Combined Far South Coast & South Coast Branch Conference.
Andrew Edmunds also attended as FSC Deputy Director of Life Saving.
The Conference was excellent and, I have to admit, far better than I was anticipating.
Tony Dale, SLS Support Officer and a member of our club did a great job in designing a conference that was interesting and informative,
and the invited speakers were all able to keep their audience engaged.
Some of the topics covered included:

• Service Agreements

• Meeting minimum standards and endeavouring to provide a professional service.

• Patrolling south to the Vic border and north to Shoalhaven.
• Service begins 1 Dec through to 28 Feb for a three year trial, with a strong possibility that the service will become a permanent year round service.
• Clubs will be able to radio the chopper if needed and if in range (chopper will respond depending on their current tasking)
• Public Launch scheduled for Saturday 23rd Oct.
• NSW Office of Liquor Gaming & Racing.
• Fundraising procedures, rules, records, controls and other issues..
• Licensing procedures and codes of practice.

• Inter-Branch Carnival at Broulee this summer date TBA - early Feb likely.
  This will be a 'biggish' carnival but another great opportunity to showcase Broulee.
  Will include Seniors, Juniors & boats. Possible Twilight Seniors on Sat, Juniors on Sunday morning. Details TBA.
• U23 Female Boats can now have 1 rower over 23, but total age of crew less than 92.
• FSC Branch looking to revitalise carnivals in our Branch - could include endurance events, dropping some events and speeding & jazzing up the carnival (e.g. music on the beach).

Notice 1 - Presentation Day

In a break with tradition, the club is holding our Presentation Day at the end of the season instead of a Presentation night at a later date.
The day will coincide with our normal Patrollers Drinks day.
We hope by doing this we will have greater numbers, and give an opportunity for our Canberra people
to join us (especially this year with a public holiday on the next day).
We know this also conflicts with Anzac Day, but felt the advantage of having the holiday
following the Drinks/Presentation Day was worth doubling up.
All activities are in the afternoon well after normal Anzac Day commemorations have run their course
(unless you are doing well at the 'Two Up').
The day will be a thank you to you the patrollers and a thank you to our many friends who have helped us through the season.
We will also be presenting the many awards earned by our members this season, plus presentation of patroller of the year,
clubperson of the year, handicap swim winner, patrol of the year and many more fun awards.
Partners and family are welcome.

We are also planning a short working bee.
Please come and lend a hand if you can.

• Working Bee 1pm to 3pm
• Bar Open for Drinks from 3pm
• Presentations from 4pm to 5pm
• Dinner from 5pm.

Notice 2 - Sunday Swims

The last handicap swim for the season has been swum.
However, don't despair, Sunday morning social swims will begin at North Broulee from 9am from this Sunday 11th April.
Meet at the toilet block at 9am.

Notice 1 - JACK STAYS AT BROULEE

A great roll up of competitors at the Pambula Branch Championships ensured Broulee retained the Jack Beale Trophy
and are Branch Champions for another year.
Great effort! The highlight of the day was watching the U19 boaties on the skis - very entertaining.
But they were there, they rowed, they swam, they paddled (board & ski), they ran and they dived after beach flags.
We just couldn't convince them to combine it all and have a go at the Ironman.
Thankyou to everyone who came, a fantastic team effort.
Thanks also to Darren Browning who has carted our skis & boards to all our carnivals this year. Loading, unloading, washing down and putting away all takes time - thanks Darren.

Notice 2 - Assistance Still Needed For School Group Next Week

Water safety people are still needed to help Adam and his students from Lanyon High School in ACT from the 7th - 9th April.
Just a few hours of your time over any one of the three days would be great (particularly on the Friday morning).

Notice 3 - Duty Manager

To help ease the workload for Gordon & Tony, a Duty Manager position has been set up to open and run the bar on a Friday night.
The bar will be open from 6pm and closes at 10pm.
The Duty Manager is not responsible for cleaning up your mess.
Please help by placing rubbish in the bins and returning glasses to the bar.
RSA holders, please lend a hand when you see the bar is busy, or go in and give the person behind the bar a break occasionally.
They won't leave you there all night, but they need a break.

Notice 4 - Handicap Swim

The last handicap swim for the season is on this Sunday at 9.30.
If you haven't been yet this year, now is the time.

Notice 3: Water Safety for Lanyon High

Dear members,
I am again running an Outdoor Adventure excursion for students from Lanyon High School in ACT to Broulee from the 7th - 9th April.
My intention is for many of these students to attain their SLS Bronze Medallion / Surf Rescue Certificate whilst they are on their camp.
Over the past 5 weeks the students have been completing theory and practical pool based sessions during school time to prepare them for their excursion.
In order to make the trip successful and ensure students success in the course,
we need some assistance in providing water safety whilst the students are training / being assessed.
Additionally if any Bronze course trainers / assessors / facilitators in the club could offer any assistance over the 3 days it would be much appreciated.
The students will be assessed on the Friday morning from about 9am.
Again, any assistance you may be able to offer over the 3 days would be most appreciated.
If you are available and willing please email me directly adam.wells@ed.act.edu.au

Thank you to all those people who gave up a little of their time last Sunday.
The door knock was very successful with the club raising over $4000 much needed dollars in just a few hours work.
Because we had so many helpers we were able to cover most of Broulee and Mossy Point, with collectors only giving up a small part of their day.
'Many hands make light work!!' Thank you again.

Notice 1: Annual Door Knock

The BSSLSC Annual Door Knock is on next Sunday 10 Jan from 8.45.
This is a major fund raiser for the club and we need as many helpers as possible please.
The door knock has the potential to raise significant funds for the club, funds we need to ensure on going life saving services at Broulee, improvements and maintenance of our facilities, plus the new surf sports equipment sought by our competitors.
We need everyone to help, including all our active patrolling members, our social members and friends of the club.
Nippers are encouraged to participate, but must be accompanied by an adult (so Nipper parents we need your help too please).

• Annual Door Knock:
• Meeting Place - Broulee Surfers Surf Lifesaving Club.
• When - Sunday 10 Jan at 8.45 am/.
• What to wear - Patrol Uniform (For non patrolling members, the club will supply an old uniform to wear on the day).
• How long - Just 2 hours of your time.

This is not a hard job, and it can be very profitable if we have a large turnout.
I have participated in many Surf Club Door Knocks (both here and with other clubs) and have always been met with a positive response.
People really are willing to donate to a good cause and most see Surf Lifesaving as an excellent organisation and a very worthwhile cause.
Please indicate your intention to help for just a couple of hours next Sunday by calling Mick Lambert on 4471 6975.

Notice 2: Friday Night Bistro

The Friday night Bistro continues over Summer.

Notice 3: Sunday Swim

The Sunday Swim continues every Sunday from 9.30 (8.00 start on the 10th Jan because of the door knock).
Because of heavy commitments with the George Bass, the Door Knock and participation in the Wharf to Waves,
the Summer Swim Series Handicap will now begin on Sunday 24th Jan.
More to follow.

Broulee Surfers U19’s Win Sydney’s Rooster River Run Marathon

The Broulee U19’s Chinese Cooks surfboat crew of Ryan Pollock ,Mathew Ivanoff, Ashan Budworth, Jason Whylie sweeped by Rhys Harris won the Rooster River Marathon on Saturday on the Georges River.
The U19's have backed up there victory last year and had Jason and Mathew do the event after missing out last year.
The crew had a convincing 2 minute victory over Newcastle’s Dixon Park with Port Kembla third. Rhys Harris did a great job guiding the crew down river from Cattle Duffers Flat 13klms to Georges River Yacht Club in Botany Bay and fill in for Robert Pollock who is recovering from recent heart surgery.
Ryan Pollock lead from the front and showed his experience in the stroke seat, he had a good incentive to get to line quickly and return home for his 18th birthday party that night.
The reserve crew were missing the Hilyear twins Steve and Tom who were at a cousin’s 21st in Victoria. Veteran crew rowers Trig Cabin and Ken Murphy filled the vacant spots with Darren Phillips and John Ivanoff at the front leading the boys to a great 3rd place in the reserve division, they were leading with 2klms to go but faded to be 30 seconds off the winner South Maroubra and Tamarama 24 sec in 2nd place. Garry Pettigrove made the trip from Canberra to sweep the crew.
A big thanks to Tony Dale and Ken Murphy for training the crews in Rob Pollock’s absence.
Congratulations to Moruya Women who came 3rd also in their division 3mins 1 sec behind winner Bronte and 1min 4 sec behind Coogee who were second.
The Broulee Veteran 160 yrs crew will now look forward to the World masters games in Sydney on October 10th.

From the Assistant Director of Lifesaving - 2009/10 Junior Lifesaver of the Year.

Dear all,

The time has come to call for nominations for the 2009/10 Junior Lifesaver of the year.

Each club may nominate a male and female Under 14 member to be considered by FSC Branch Junior Lifesaver of the Year.

The criteria for selection will be based on the nominee's achievements in the following areas:

* Contribution to Surf Life Saving

* Demonstration of leadership roles in Club activities

* Contribution made to the Club

* Awards received in Surf Life Saving and the community

* Involvement in community events outside of Surf Life Saving

* Awareness of Club events and current affairs

* Initiative applied to Club and community activities

* Promotion of Surf Life Saving to the community

* Attendance record at Club activities

* Encouragement of new members

* Demonstration of surf lifesaving knowledge and skills

To aid in junior development all club nominees will undergo a short interview with representatives from the FSC Branch on Sunday September 5 (location and time to be confirmed once nominations received).

It is recommended candidates prepare a small written CV with copies of certificates etc to bring along to the interview to further support their application.

I would strongly urge all clubs to nominate a male and female to be considered to represent the Branch at SLSNSW State Age Championships- it is a key junior development initiative and will be an invaluable experience for participating nominees.

I apologise for the limited notice for nominees, however they're needed ahead of the FSC Branch AGM to allow our nominations to be entered ahead of the SLSNSW Championships.

Could each club please submit nominations by COB Friday August 28.

Nominations either via email aedmunds@dfr.com.au or in writing to:
