Hi Nippers People,

Feels like Easter weather and surf is on it's way. Please find below an update on all things Nippers for the week.

Wednesday Night

Same place, same time: 5:30pm at Front Beach

Sunday

No Nippers this Sunday as we are at the Point Leo Carnival. A link to the program for the day is here Point Leo Program. Looking forward to seeing you there.

Anglesea and States Carnival

Registrations are opening for the Anglesea (18th Feb) and States (10-12 March) carnivals. Look out for them on Team App.

We only have 2 sites left at the Warrnambool Caravan Park for States - please let Kate Walsh know asap if you want one.

Coaches will be working on determining event representations and teams for States over Feb. As always coaches will use attitude, ability and attendance as a reference when determining who represents us at events. Please support your coaches in their selections.

Go Jan Juc.

Hello Nipper Families,

Please find below an update on all things Nippers:

Wednesday Night Session (tonight)

At Front beach 5:30pm

Sunday 29th

At Jan Juc 9-11am

Next week

Wednesday will be as normal.

There will be no Nippers on Sunday 5th Feb as we will be at the Point Leo carnival. There is still time to enter if you are keen (just register and pay via events on team app before this Friday). In particular it would be good to have some more U8, U9 and U10 women contestants so that we can put teams together for the relay events. If you are holding off entering due to the requirement to be able to perform a volunteer role if your Nipper enters more than 1 carnival, remember you can do the online officials course and register your intent to do the practical training with Caro (nippers@janjucsurfclub.com.au). This will qualify you to be able to enter your Nipper even though you will not yet be able to perform the officials role.

See you on the beach.

Hi Everyone,

Please find below an update on all things Nippers.

Torquay Friendly Carnival

Return to Competition Program

This Wednesday 5:30pm Under 12 and 13's will have Iron Training at Front Beach. All other age groups have the night off and rest up after a big couple of weeks.

All age groups will be back on this Sunday 9-11am at Jan Juc (unless conditions require us to move - the long range forecast looks onshore but ok swell at this stage)

Carnivals

We have four carnivals remaining for the season:

• Torquay / Jan Juc Friendly Carnival -  Wed18th Jan 5:30pm at Torquay back beach, followed by meals, music and bar at the Torquay SLSC
• Point Leo - 5th Feb
• Anglesea - 18th Feb
• States - Warnambool 10-12th March

Please be reminded that if your Nipper has entered more than one carnival for the year you need to be able to volunteer as an official or water safety; or be an active coach or team manager in the weekly competition program. We have to meet certain volunteer ratios to be able to enter a carnival and Life Saving Victoria have warned us they will not be accepting registrations going forward if we can not meet this ratio. The easiest way for you to meet this requirement is to complete the officials course. Please email us on nippers@janjucsurfclub.com.au if you need help registering for the officials course. We are going to have to be strict on this requirement so please register asap if you need to.

See you on the beach.
