Hi Clubs and clubbies
Time is flying, and we're almost through February…
There's been a lot of action around the area, but there's still
a month or so to go in our 'official' season, so let's keep the
awesome work up!
So far this season Capital Coast Clubs have completed:
- · 13,214
Patrol Hours
- · 127
Rescues
- · 198
First Aids
- · 25
Searches
- · 5,532
Preventative Actions involving 12,228 people
The statistics help us see the amazing job you are doing and
tell your stories to our communities. Be sure to get the
paper work added to PAM as soon as you can. The more accurate the
data, the better the story we can tell.
And speaking
of stories, how great is this… Another Capital Coast won the
Central Region Rescue of the Month (that's two months in a row,
woohoo)!
A huge
congratulations to Palmerston North SLSC for their incredible
efforts on Wellington Anniversary Weekend.
Read all about it by clicking here. You'll also find the information
for nominating your club for a ROM award.
Congratulations also
to Maranui SLSC who submitted a nomination. Their rescue wasn't
given an official award, but keep an eye on "Coastwatch" on TVOne.
The guards make an appearance as they assist with a very difficult
patient, who against all recommendations, continued to swim at
Oriental Parade, Wellington to the point of near
drowning.
How else can I recognise the great work young people are doing
at the club?
Wellington Community Trust's Young Community Leaders Awards 2013
are on soon!
These awards are to recognise the outstanding work that young
people are doing in leadership roles within not-for-profit and
voluntary organisations within the Greater Wellington region.
If you know someone you think deserves this recognition,
nominate them today! For more information and nomination forms see
attached - Nominations close March 31st 2013
You can also contact the Wellington Community Trusts Program
Coordinator; Claire Rosanowski: 04 4997966 or 027 345 7373
The Road to Nationals…
I am very pleased to announce the overall club points for the
Capial Coast Championships, and the Whitehorse Trophy results…
Drum roll please…

Congratulations everyone! A great effort by all clubs and teams.
You should be proud of what you have achieved!
Now for the sought after Whitehorse Trophy. This is awarded
to the Top Senior Competition Club at the Capital Coast Awards
function a little later this year.
Congratulations to… Lyall Bay SLSC!
It should also be noted that Worser Bay tied for third position
with Titahi Bay! A great effort!
Could this be due to their new club coach, a Titahi Bay club
member? Teehee

A full list of individual results from the Capital Coast Champs
will be available on the web later next week.
Again, well done to all clubs and a big thank you to all the
officials, supporters and helpers!
Interested in getting involved in Event Safety work?
Surf Lifesaving is becoming increasingly involved in providing
water safety provisions at events. In the last few months Capital
Coast clubs have been involved in a range of events from the State
Ocean Swim Series, the opening of the "Jump Platform" on the
Wellington Waterfront, various local triathlons and even patrolling
the harbour front over the Sevens weekend!
If you and/or your club are interested in getting involved
please let me know. Next season I will circulate a list of events
to clubs so you can see what is coming up and get involved
early.
This type of service provision is a great fundraiser for the
club, but also a great way at getting the Surflifesaving brand out
into the public space.
The Final Word
Is a slightly a negative one. I spotted a number of people
wearing State branded Patrol Uniforms as their costumes at the
Wellington Sevens. This is completely unacceptable. No lifeguard
(or friend of lifeguard) should be wearing their uniforms as
costumes at any event outside of our normal operations (unless
otherwise agreed e.g. Some sort of Surf Lifesaving function, such
as awards dinner or fundraiser). This can be very harmful to our
sponsors not to mention the reputation the uniform should hold.
If you spot anyone wearing a uniform in this manner please let
me know ASAP.
Please feel free to circulate this to your club members, use it
in your club newsletters or post on Facebook.
If you have a question about any of the content drop me an email
or give me a call.
See you on the beach!
