Fees
and Tags
All
fees are now overdue. Your tag will be disconnected as of next week.
Also there seems to be confusion re tag identification. There is a
3 digit code applicable to each tag. If you don't have that code and
I can't identify a tag to a particular individual the tag will be
disconnected. I realize that it is an inconvenience but the only way
it can be corrected is if you come to the office and the tag is swiped
and then identified to you. The office will be operating from next
weekend onwards in the mornings.
Golf
Day
Thank
you for your response. It now looks like we will have some 35-40 starters
which will make it a great day. Its not too late to get your name
down. It is scheduled for Friday 28th September 2007 at Randwick Golf
Club. Hit off will be from 8.00am. Cost will be approximately $35
which will give you a round of golf, a complimentary drink from the
bar and a few drinks during the game from our social drink cart.
Ski
Weekend
Last month a group of 31 Nippers, Juniors
and parents went to the snow for what proved to be a great weekend.
Peter Clemesha and Coleen O'Neill organized the trip which involved
traveling down by bus, staying a few nights and of course skiing.
I am reliably informed that while no injuries occurred on the snow,
there were a few walking wounded on the Sunday morning after the night
before.
Conditions
were great with good snow and sunny weather and all had a great time.
Peter & Coleen will, I'm sure, be easily convinced to organize another
trip same time next year so start practicing your aprs ski techniques.
A big thank you to Janna Hudson our Travel consultant for persevering
with all the changes relating to this trip. Also thanks to the parents
who came on the trip to supervise the kids - Brian Quinlan, Carrie
& Pat Keating Follas, Sally Basset & Tom Jones and Dave Teagle.
However
thanks mainly to Coleen & Peter for initiating and organizing a trip
that everyone really had a great time. As a quick aside, there are
several photos of the trip which are posted on the Club's web site.
Renovations
- Bar Closed
The bar renovations are progressing on schedule.
Sorry for inconvenience but a necessary improvement in facilities
will be the result. Please note the bar will not be operating for
next weekend, i.e. 16th September. We are all very hopeful that it
will be operational on the 23rd.
As
an alternative why not go to Bronte RSL and see its renovations. They
are a sponsor and will welcome all members and friends of the Club.
Or if you need a social tipple earlier why not visit the Splashers
in the park around 11.30am. Please pass this information on to the
regular Sunday visitors.

Training
1. Proficiencies
The
following information refers to Bronze Medallion and ARC proficiency
only. Information regarding proficiencies for SRF, Spinal Management,
the Defib and Gold Medallion will follow.
This
year there are a total of 9 times from 5 dates to choose in order
for you to do your proficiency. Please choose 3 dates, email your
choices in order of preference to bronte.instructor@gmail.com
and wait (a few weeks) for confirmation of date and time.
The
dates and times are:
Sunday
7 October 10am
Sunday 11 November 9am & 11am
Sunday 18 November 9am & 11am
Sunday 25 November 9am & 11am
Sunday 9 December 9am & 11am
Proficiencies
will begin at the times written, any late comers will have to wait
until the next time/date so please arrive 15mins early.
Signals
and CPR will take place in the surf club before moving to the beach
for the swim (200m run / 200m swim / 200m run in under 8min) and the
board/tube rescue. The proficiency should take an hour to complete.
Anyone
needing their ARC proficiency...these will take place in the surf
club immediately after the 11am group has completed their water section.
For those choosing the October proficiency option, this means ARC
proficiency will take place after the only water section of that day.
So, ARC holders, please choose your date accordingly. These dates
and times will be the only ones from Bronte this year. If you can
not make these times, forget to turn up, believe the water to be too
cold...then you are allowed to complete your proficiency at another
beach but under your own reconnaissance.
