A big thanks to members who nominated for Committee positions at our recent AGM.

For those of you that don't know me - I started in the Jan Juc Surf Club as a nipper in 1984, coming from a swimming club. Competition has been a big part of my involvement over the years, I still compete in Surfboats as a sweep for a few of the Jan Juc boat crews, competing at all levels.

I have also been a patrol captain, training officer and ran Nippers at Jan Juc. I have a very good knowledge of Surf Life Saving especially at Jan Juc. I strongly believe this will help me be a good president for our Club.

I really want to take the club to the next level now we have settled into our new club house. I want to build on this by connecting better with our members and the local community. While honouring our history, I want to make sure the club is in a good position moving forward. 

Looking forward to a great season.

Already missing that summer warmth? Why not turn your mind to next summer and register your interest in helping out with a volunteer role for the 2022/23 Nippers Season.

Visit the new volunteers page under the Nippers section of the website to register.

The Nippers program is able to be offered through the awesome efforts of volunteers. There are many opportunities for you to volunteer and enjoy the rewards of:

• Being part of a fun team of volunteers
• Sharing the Nippers experience with your kid(s) at a deeper level
• Building your own skills and qualifications
• Being part of the action (you will spend a lot of time on the beach as your kids go through Nippers, so you might as well get out there and have fun at the same time)

Results for the 2022:

• Danger Ocean Swims, and
• Bells Bash Cliff Runs.

What's bigger than the Nutri  grain series?

Club Champs.

That's right club champs are on.

When: Sunday 20/2/22.

Time: 2pm at Juc.

Club champs are for U14 - Masters, and for any club member, you don't have to be a competitor, just come down, have a go and have some fun.

Great timing to because it will run into our Sunday sessions at the bar.

Great news. We’re bringing the wine drive local. You can now collect your 6 pack ($100) from the club and take it away for a limited time. Cracking wine and raising essential funds for the club. Win, win!! Shiraz, Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris.

Order and pick up from the Club House Rd Bar on any Friday from 5pm and Sunday from 4pm.

Event dates for the 2023 Danger Ocean Swim & Bells Bash Cliff Run events are:

• Bells Bash: Fri 6th Jan 2023
• Danger Ocean Swims: Sat 7th Jan 2023

It was a fantastic day for a round of golf with a full field enjoying the magnificent RACV golf course overlooking our surf club.

The day soon ran into the evening with the winners announced at the Clubhouse Rd Bar.

Also thanks to all the volunteers who gave up their time to help with a number of tasks that made the day run seamlessly.

To our Competitors, Volunteers, Sponsors and Key Stakeholders,

The Jan Juc SLSC and the events team for the Bells Bash and Danger Swim Series have come to the very difficult decision to postpone the 2022 events scheduled for the 14th and 15th of January.

With the current Covid situation continuing to escalate our responsibility for the safety of our volunteers, competitors and the local community became the primary considerations in us arriving at this decision.

As a Surf Life Saving Club our primary responsibility is to provide patrolling members for our beach and by running the events we believe that this service could be put at risk.

We are currently reviewing alternative dates in March, and will be back in contact over the coming week.

We thank you for your understanding in this very challenging time for all.

The Nippers First Aid Night will be held on Tuesday 4th January at the Jan Juc Clubhouse.

U7-U9 4:00pm-6:00pm

U10-U13 6:00pm-8:00pm

Nippers must be signed in upstairs in the clubhouse at the beginning of the session and out at the end of the session by a parent. Parents do not need to stay, but must walk them in and out of the venue.

BBQ hamburgers will be supplied for dinner for all Nippers. U7-9 will eat at the end of their session and U10-13 at the beginning of their session. Please bring water bottles.

We request that you do NOT drive up Clubhouse Dve to drop/pick up your child for First Aid Night. Please park in the car park on Carnarvon Ave and walk your child up the path.

Also please ensure you have RSVPed via Team App events for catering purposes.

*Please note: The First Aid night is a compulsory component of achieving the age group Surf Education Award. This award is required for U9-13s to compete at State Championships.

We look forward to seeing you there!
