Hi Everyone,

Official Nippers starts again on Sundays meaning the 100% attendance and points accumula-tion continues. We have only 6 weeks left of Nippers.

THIS WEEK:

Training 3:45 Thursday – Surf with Tenille

Training 3:45 Friday – Beach with Callum

Training 8:00 Saturday – Surf development squad with Tenille

(The development squad is a skills session that all under 9’s, and 10’s should attend. 11’s and up should attend if they still need to work on skills and get some specific training)

Training 9:00 Saturday – Surf State team with Tenille

(The State team is the team we are taking to the under 11 to 15’s State carnival. It’s 1.5 hours long and it is intense)

Training 12:30 Saturday – under 14 – 15 Longboard training with Jason

THIS WEEKEND, 31ST JANUAY 2016:

Starts at 7:00am for those that would like to help us set up. We always have the same people come early and stay late so it would be great to get some new helpers.

At 7:30 we have relay training with Callum on the beach. We have let those under 8’s to 10’s that have been picked in specific beach relays to be there, but the training is for everybody that intends to go to the carnivals.

At 7:50 we will meet all water safety and age managers to plan the nippers and make sure it runs safely and efficiently.

At 8:00 we should all be ready for the President’s news and get nippers started.

All 11’s to 15’s need to confirm with their Age Manager that they wish to compete in the Branch carnival on the 13th and 14th of February.

All 11’s to 15’s Age managers need to remain after nippers until their entries are complete. If there are any relay selection issues they will be referred to Callum, Tenille and Vaughn to re-solve. It’s good and bad if age groups have this issue.

BBQ

As the BBQ roster isn’t full I’ll leave this in. Each family will have one member of their family

assist with the BBQ on a Sunday during the season. We are keen to group you with your

friends and get you a date that suits you so please see Darren Boucher around the BBQ to

book a Sunday. Get it done and that’s your BBQ effort done for the season.

Again This week end their will be an A1 sheet for each family to sign up for a Sunday where

they will work the BBQ.

The BBQ is a solid source of revenue for us and every cent goes back to your nippers

Training with Tenille and Callum has been going great. We have a

beach sessions have been hard work, however fun at the same

time, so don’t forget your running shoes, as it’s not just sand work.

Tenille’s challenging variety of water sessions on her Monday,

Thursday and Saturday sessions has been such a great addition this

year. Water safety is always needed so any club member that can

come assist you are always welcome.
