a requirement for a our patrolling agree-

ment and for the Bulk/Wilkes Shield. It is

an easy 10pt per person on inspections,

compared to 1pt for a incorrect answer.

We have not received an inspection for

ON SUNDAY MORNINGS…...

NO NIPPERS FOR U8—U10

SUNDAY 13th of November due

to a carnival.

Nippers has been having some

great days on the beach since

the last newsletter and I think

that is mainly due to the great

weather and conditions.

Early October saw Kawana

attend our first 2 carnivals with

Rainbow Beach Carnival and

U11-14 Teams Carnivals held at

Mets Caloundra. Both carnivals

saw the Kawana team with

some good results for a small

club and there is some real

talent amongst our nipper

group and I am sure will have

some of Nippers names up in

lights in the future.

October also saw us hold our

first points day which was a

success across all events. After

last years weather it was good

to actually get the event held

after so many false starts in the

previous season.

A couple of thanks need to go

out:

Firstly, to Tony Wise who made

our Nipper Notice board. It

looks great and appreciate the

hard work put in. I am sure all

that have seen it would agree.

It will be out every week with

upcoming events, nipper calen-dar and notices so please take

the time to read it. I want to

know who the artist is in the

Wise family.

To Luke Godwin from Team

Godwin Real Estate. Luke won

second prize in our recent Nip-

per Board raffle which was the

Pool Cleaner donated from

Steve Cluff. Luke has gener-

ously donated this back to the

Nippers to raffle in our upcom-

ing Xmas raffle. Big thanks to

Luke and Team Godwin for

their continual support.

To all our new officials who

started their course last week.

It is great to see all of you put

your hands up to help and in

some cases a few that help in

many areas with the club al-

ready.

Lastly, our Nipper parents who

have registered to gain their

Age Manager Accreditation—

Congratulations!

As always please feel free to

speak to myself or any commit-

tee members if you have any

questions.

Somebody said to me the other day that

there maybe some misconceptions or

misunderstandings about the role of the

Supporters Club and where it sits within

our Lifesaving community.

The Supporters Club was established near

on 30 years ago to raise funds to support

Lifesaving activities on Buddina Beach

and the stretch from Point Cartwright to

Currumundi, over the last 4 years from

the Annual reports the Supporters Club

has donated on average $250,000 to the

Surf Club each year. These funds were

then managed by the Management Com-

mittees of the Surf Club to manage andpay for all the activities of the Surf Club ,

both on the beach, the competition

arena , training , equipment etc. Last

year, however the Supporters Club had a

very detrimental trading year incurring

losses , however, funds were still donated

to the Surf Club. This year we saw the

Constitution changed and endorsed at a

Special General meeting. A new Com-

mittee has been formed to manage the

Supporters Club. Thanks to everyone

involved , Committee, Staff , Supporters

and Active members we have turned

the trading around to a small profitable

position for last 3 months. For the Sup-

porters Club to be in a position to con-

tinue to donate excess Profits to the

Surf Club after we cover all expenses

and allow for Repairs and Maintenance

and Capital Expenditure we need the

support of all the Community and espe-

cially our own Members and Families. If

each family took the opportunity to visitthe Club once a week for a drink or a

meal we would soon see our trading go

through the roof. Have a look at how

many families are on the Beach each

Sunday morning! Nipper parents—this

is your club!

I would like to thank everyone who has

helped over the last 6 months with improv-ing the Club, the gardens have been

cleaned up and maintained, the Club has

been cleaned and painted, the memora-

bilia has been rearranged, we have a new

chef, new furniture is being ordered and

hopefully will be in place by Xmas.

All I ask is that everyone thinks about visit-

ing the Club, think about holding your fam-

ily festivities, birthdays, work parties etc

at the Club. We currently have 3 weddings

booked prior to Xmas.

Come down for the raffles Friday

night. Any how please give this some

thought and if there are any questions orconcerns about the Supporters Club and its

role please feel free to ring me on

0435139385. Bob Clements.(President)
