3 NEWS FROM THE TRAINING TEAM Our CTO Daneeka Kent was very lucky this past week to have attended the Annual Beach to Bush Surf Lifesaving Queensland tour. Over the 6 days she travelled to over 20 schools and completing over 20 presentations about beach and surf safety to the primary school kids in the areas. Travelling around 1500kms from the Sunshine Coast to Biloela, Springsure, Gindie, Moura, Emerald and Rockhampton, stopping in at many more towns along the way, she got to see the differences between the Sunshine coast and the rural country towns of regional Queensland. The first Bronze/SRC Course for the season is now halfway through with the new members doing very well and quickly picking up the skills. Sunday, 7th October at 12noon there will be a BBQ and presentation at the Kawana Surf Club to congratulate all our new Bronze and SRC members. The next Bronze Course will be starting Tuesday, 16th October - If you or anyone you know is interested in doing this course it is important to register either online by ing through to surfadmin@kawanasurfclub.com.au, or by calling through to the Club Admin.

5 A WORD FROM THE CHUPA CHUP CHAPLAIN There is a time for everything under the sun. A time to laugh a time to cry, a time to be born unfortunately a time to die, a time for rain, and a time for drought, a time to rest and a time to work (I personally would like more of the rest stuff). There is a time for Winter and it is now over. Now is the time for Spring and Spring brings the time for our Surf Lifesaving Season to begin. DATE CLAIMIERS SEPTEMBER 15th 16th OCTOBER 1st-7th 2nd Proficiency and IRB 8am Nipper Kawana Aquatic Centre & Mooloolaba Spit SRC/Bronze Camp I am excited to be back again for another awesome season with the Mighty Patrol 4, sorry Jones Patrol. This is a great time to catch up with old friends and the opportunity to make new ones. It is the time to get ready for proficiency, it is a time to be ready to hit the beach. It is a time for the unknown, for the not yet written for the mystery of what could be. 7th 13th 14th 16th First Day of Nippers Rainbow Carnival U8-U15 3rd 10am 2nd Bronze Medallion Course Are you Ready?
