SOcafé at Sorrento Surf Lifesaving Club

s

Dear Members,

Please note the SoCafé will be closed to members on the

Wednesday night of the 21st of October due to an all-day

function in the hall.

Over my 22 years of involvement within the Surf Life Saving

movement and a member of the Sorrento SLSC there have

been ongoing challenges in retaining our Youth member

base as they transition from Nipper to the Senior category.

There have been many studies conducted as to why the

retention has been difficult across the whole Surf Life Saving

movement, but remains a continual challenge for all clubs.

Our BOM is extremely appreciative of the efforts by a

dedicated group of members that are striving to defy this

trend.

The current YIP’s program conducted by Nicole Dhue, Debbie

Vickery, former board member Ron Clarke, “Watto” (our

current Club Development Director) and many other

dedicated members is proving to be a wonderful success

and platform for our Youth members.

Include Gavin, Anthony, Kate, Adrian and the team that co-

ordinate’s our now Junior Youth program your BOM are

extremely confident that Sorrento SLSC will be shown to be a

leader in this difficult area.

Your efforts are greatly appreciated by your Board of

Management

team.

A club as one is a

club of strength!

Rob Doherty

President

drink, and promise you this will not be a something we plan to make a habit of. So café will be open for

to the bar opening on Sunday mornings. Hot chips and ice creams will keep the nippers happy for a

while after a big morning on the beach.

Bogan Bingo is returning Friday 30th of October, after a sell-out performance last year, and rave

reviews. The Bogans will be back with their action packed interactive show, what better way to

kick off the Surf Season.

So rev up the Holden, it’s time to comb out the mullets, roll up the flanno shirt sleeves, and let

that inner Bogan run amuck. C’arn, Bring it oon!!!!
