Surf Life Saving Queensland is seeking energetic and reliable individuals to join the SLSQ Community Awareness team to support community programs such as education talks, beach programs and Little Lifesavers.
We are now taking expressions of interest from those looking for casual employment opportunities in the Greater Brisbane and Gold Coast regions.
Applications close COB 2nd January 2018.
The Club hosts fund raising "sausage sizzle" at Dan Murphy's, Mermaid Waters every Saturday between 8 and 1. The revenue is an important part of the clubs budget. Members are asked to allocate some time to assist the club....see you at the club at 8, to load the gear.
The Committee have endorsed the program for the 2017/2018 Season and are focused on building upon the success of 2016/2017. Entrant numbers have steadily increased over the past few seasons and the handicap start is aimed to bring all swimmers of any competency to the finish line in a tight group.
There was a rumour rattling around the club house this week that the referee has reinstated rule 24.1.76...."last years winner starts from the club car park". Given that ruling, the Committee are expecting to see the 2017/2018 season with a hotly contested second and third place.
All races are on Sundays and start at 10.30am sharp, at the flags. You'll need your club cap and pink rashie.... and only one other thing....the willingness to have fun.
Lock in these date
