Club Training Night

Well done to everyone that took part in our first two Beach Lifeguard courses. We are starting our weekly training night on Wednesday 28^th May at the Brighton Sailing Club at 7pm. This session will continue through the summer to keep your skills up-to-date and improving (and maybe a couple beers afterwards). This is open to club members only.

We will also be looking for beach lifeguards that are interested in the competition side; we are planning to run our first comp at the Paddle round the Pier event on the 5^th and 6^th July. If you’re interested in being part of Brighton’s team or want to enter your clubs team send me an email: bslsc.training@googlemail.com. Thanks Paul.

Membership Update

After a brief administration review we will be ready to take new members on board in the next few days. I’ll let you know when processes are fully up to speed and you too can join the best Surf Life Saving Club in the country, possibly the world (ok, I do have a slightly biased view). Watch this space. Thanks Paul

Heroes of the Surf

A massive congratulations goes to Kirk Lee, BSLSC’s club captain. Although, the award will be due to Kirk’s commitment to Eastbourne Vouluntary Lifeguards in previous years. On Nov 17th 2007 the annual ‘Heroes of the Surf’ awards evening took place in South Devon. Kirk was recognised for his dedication and service during the year as a SLSA GB  and was awarded the ‘Services to Lifesaving’ award. Click on the picture below to find a full report of the evening can. Also, Kirk!! Any pictures of the evening?

Beach Lifeguard Course Success!!!

Paul Abbie, Simon Crute, Anthony Biddlecombe, Harry Walker & Paul Bass.

Also, a congratulations to Susan Reynolds and Jacquie from EVL for passing their instructors course.

Not only this, but Anthony Biddlecombe, Issy Wood, Chris Ingall and Harry Walker have now qualified as probationary instructors and are hoping to run courses around Easter 2008.
