The Beach Clean

For those who were aware or chose to trust the Poster and not the Journals Epic misprint, the clubhouse on Sunday the 25th at 11 was visited by 40 volunteers to aid both Exmouth Beach rescue and Surfers against sewage in keeping our seafront clean.
here are a few pics from that legend behind the lens Matt Round (http://www.facebook.com/MattRoundPhotography) and our man Ash

 AS you can see lots was collected across the few hours which was a superb effort by the volunteers who were powered by Coffee and Keith's BBQ skills.

 Hazards such as this, as well as broken glass and bottles were removed from the sand with the soul intention of keeping the sand safe.

what a LUSH man sporting a very fitting tattoo!

 Many thanks to the team at Exmouth town council for providing the bags and grabbers and surfers against sewage and there support package. roll on our next one and if your interested and the paper is on our side hopefully the numbers will be even greater.

 SLSGB taking note of the true volunteers years of real patrolling surf lifesaving club experience

SS2 surf competencies

In order to keep our juniors working towards their ultimate goal of becoming a lifeguard, the club devised an exam for those under the age of 16 which best prepares them for their lifeguard exam as it contains the majority of the lifeguard syllabus with a little less first aid details, and a slightly slower swim time which takes place in open water as well as there board and ski abilities.

half the group that undertook the exam this time were from L-R Emily Snowshall, Will Boud and Nyall Slatter,

Well done guys great effort
