A big thanks to members who nominated for Committee positions at our recent AGM.

For those of you that don't know me - I started in the Jan Juc Surf Club as a nipper in 1984, coming from a swimming club. Competition has been a big part of my involvement over the years, I still compete in Surfboats as a sweep for a few of the Jan Juc boat crews, competing at all levels.

I have also been a patrol captain, training officer and ran Nippers at Jan Juc. I have a very good knowledge of Surf Life Saving especially at Jan Juc. I strongly believe this will help me be a good president for our Club.

I really want to take the club to the next level now we have settled into our new club house. I want to build on this by connecting better with our members and the local community. While honouring our history, I want to make sure the club is in a good position moving forward. 

Looking forward to a great season.

Already missing that summer warmth? Why not turn your mind to next summer and register your interest in helping out with a volunteer role for the 2022/23 Nippers Season.

Visit the new volunteers page under the Nippers section of the website to register.

The Nippers program is able to be offered through the awesome efforts of volunteers. There are many opportunities for you to volunteer and enjoy the rewards of:

• Being part of a fun team of volunteers
• Sharing the Nippers experience with your kid(s) at a deeper level
• Building your own skills and qualifications
• Being part of the action (you will spend a lot of time on the beach as your kids go through Nippers, so you might as well get out there and have fun at the same time)

Results for the 2022:

• Danger Ocean Swims, and
• Bells Bash Cliff Runs.

What's bigger than the Nutri  grain series?
