    Club champs seem to attract crazy conditions.

    Due to the conditions we will move the club champs to front beach 2-4pm.

    Presentations will be at the club rooms at 4:30pm with the bar open. Please bring along a plate of food or some nibbles if you are after something to eat (as we will be at Front Beach and so that everyone can enjoy the champs there will be no BBQ).

    Jumpers for States will arrive on Monday. We are planning to hand jumpers out after work sometime next week, details to come.

    See you on the beach tomorrow arvo.

    Officials and IRB Crew and Drivers

    Congratulations to our members who have recently completed Officials and IRB courses, this has provided much-needed additional support to our nipper volunteer base. With the departure of several key volunteers at the end of this season, we  need to continue to grow our volunteer base, if you are interested in becoming an Official or IRB Driver/Crew please email nippers@janjucsurfclub.com.au or speak to your Team Manager.

    Hi Nippers People,

    There will be a special guest in a red suit arriving by IRB tomorrow.

    The kiosk will be open pumping out coffees, hot chocolates and snacks.

    Tomorrow, and Thursday next week, will be our last Competition Program sessions before the Summer Program kicks in on the 28th of Dec. Details on the Summer Program sessions can be found here: Nippers Program dates

    The Summer Program is designed around water and beach skills, surf ed, first aid, patrol skills and team fun. This complements the Competition Program which pulls it all together in training for events/carnivals. Everyone who does the Competition Program will get good value out of coming to the Summer Program (it is included in your membership).

    The Competition Program will kick back into gear on Thursday the 18th and Sunday 21st Jan.

    See you tomorrow.

    Hi Nippers People,

    Well done to everyone for surviving the Ocean Grove carnival last week. If that was your first carnival - some very experienced carnival people are saying that is the worst conditions they have ever experienced! We came third overall with 75 Jan Juc nippers competing.

    We are expecting 1-2ft light onshore conditions tomorrow so plan to be at Jan Juc.

    Cosy Corner Carnival entries are due by the 15th of December. Please see your team manager tomorrow if you have any questions about registering.

    See you on the beach.

    Hi Nippers People,

    Hopefully we are looking at ok conditions for a Jan Juc session this Sunday 9-11am (3ft and slight onshore).

    You would have seen a Team App invite to an event titled 'Nipper Parents - Technical Officials training'. This will be held for parents and carers at the club rooms 9-10:30am this Sunday while Nippers is running. We are still short on officials to support our entries to carnivals. Caro had to negotiate with Life Saving Victoria to allow us to enter the Ocean Grove carnival as a club next weekend, but we won't be allowed to do this at the next carnival. We need to supply a ratio of officials based on our entries. We are going to have to implement the rule we have flagged from the start of the season that your nipper is not able to attend more than one carnival if you are not able to help with being a coach, team manager, official or water safety. We are running the officials training this Sunday so that you can do it whilst you are at the club anyway. Please come along to the training.

    See you on the beach or in the club training.

    Hi Nippers People,

    Looks like we will get in and out just before the SE winds kick in tomorrow. See you at Jan Juc 9-11am. Ky Hurst will be at the session providing specialist coaching for the older age groups.

    Some other reminders:

    - Remember to RSVP and pay for the Ocean Grove carnival by tomorrow - please see you Team Manager

    - Thursday night training for U9-U13 has kicked off. Please arrive at Front Beach at 5:15pm so that we can check in and get started.

    - It is not too late to become an official. An easy online training session and then a mentoring session at the Ocean Grove Carnival will get you there. Please see your Team Manager tomorrow if you are interested.
