NOVEMBER 2024 Well the season has kicked off just in the way we would have wanted with great weather and hundreds of Nippers and lifeguard coaches getting out there and having fun! A few important pieces in this newsletter including the updated season calendar, notes for Surf Lifesaving NZ, and information about some changes for our competing members. Remember that you can order your merchandise anytime using the link below and Lauren will be at the club most Sunday afternoons for trying items on, collecting orders, dropping off black togs for screen printing, or for buying on the spot.  |

COMPETITOR WRIST BANDS SLSNZ have moved to a different system for marshalling athletes and recording their times over the finish lines. All Craft and Junior athletes will now need to pick up a wrist band that will be personalised to them at their first carnival/competition. These wrist bands will be scanned by officials when athletes are marshalled; therefore if an athlete doesn't have a wrist band they cannot compete. When you/your athlete is issued with their wrist band, please
Any lost wrist bands can be replaced at the athletes expense and will cost $10 per wrist band, so please do look after them. Boat crews do not need a wrist band and are exempt from this at the moment. |

Outside Shower We now have a shower installed at the top of the ramp. Please use it. We would like to reduce the amount of sand that is traipsed up the stairs and brought into the club and would like to encourage all of you to use the shower after training or just walking along the beach. |
