Although the planned sessions are over, the great news is that Surfing WA have agreed to offer all Mullaloo SLSC participants the chance to to continue in one of their weekend classes as individuals but for $25 per lesson (the usual price is $35).  All the lessons from next week onwards will be at Trigg due to vehicle availability.   Weekend lessons start at 9am Saturday and Sunday and from October a 7am class will begin as well.

Thanks to Darryn and the crew for that, I am sure everyone agrees they have done a great job - please contact them to make arrangements direct using the details below.

I have also attached a great Surfing WA flyer for a great new national program called SurfGroms for 5 to 12yr olds, for those interested.

I am looking into continuing a week or two more myself, with fun sessions at Mullaz and possibly Lancelin — watch out for emails on this.

For all of you, social and competitors, I can’t recommend enough continuing with your surfing journey — I have been surfing for 40 years now and it has not harmed me, despite a couple of close calls!!.  For the kids in competition, it teaches wave sense and confidence and having just taken an age group through from 10s to 14s with great States results, I can confirm that it does wonders for their board skills in comps.

Watch out for more next week — Cheers Jeff

Surf Life Saving WA will be filming three TV commercials in early September and are looking for some local surf lifesavers to star in the ads. The commercials will form part of a major media campaign for Surf Life Saving WA over the summer months.

The surf lifesavers featured in the ad will be required to speak to camera and also perform some typical patrol duties i.e. a mock rescue, a First Aid treatment etc.

If you are interested in starring in the TV commercials all you need to do is head to the Surf Life Saving WA Facebook page and either record a video using a webcam or film and upload a short video (maximum 60 seconds).

Alternatively audition videos can be burnt to a DVD and posted to:

SLSWA TV Commercial
PO BOX 382
North Beach WA 6920

In the video you will need to state your name, age, club and talk about what Surf Life Saving means to you and what you enjoy about being a member.

To apply you will need to be:

• a current member of a WA Surf Life Saving Club and an active patrolling surf lifesaver
• over 18 as at September 1, 2011
• available for filming between 5th to 9th September (in the Perth metro area)
• confident, well spoken, be neat in appearance and be comfortable in front of a camera

The successful applicants will become the faces of Surf Life Saving WA over summer via the TV commercials and will need to be good representatives of our brand in the community.

Applications close Wednesday 24th August 2011.

Registration Fees for 2011/12 Season

Additional to above Membership

Patrol Rebate (*) Each of these memberships attracts a $70.00 rebate for those who have fulfilled the minimum 2010/2011 season patrol requirements of 75% of rostered patrol hours.

Gym Membership (**) Available to all non-active members 15 years and over. Excludes gym use during peak times 5am-8am and 4pm-8pm.

The second half of the season will see a club tailored coaching program run by Surfing WA, “subject to interest”.  This is an all inclusive package inclusive of the provision of wetsuits and boards.  Additionally, everyone participating will be awarded a Certificate of Competence for their level reached over the program.  There is an option for a casual rate and that is highlighted in the schedule. Please would all those wishing to take this fantastic offer up please let Jeff Baker know as soon as possible by email to jeffnali@optusnet.com.au.

The core location remains Mullaloo North Point as usual, but we may vary the fun events in the early part of the program and as a first event, we are hoping to kick off, subject to weather conditions, at Lancelin Back Beach.  Further details will follow, but the (informal) plan is to take the club softboards up to Lancelin for a 10am start, surfing through to say 12.30 with a BBQ (bring your own food and drink) at 1pm onwards.  Afternoon will be “do your own thing” but we can recommend 4wd in the dunes, sandboarding (you can hire boards there) or Desert Storm (Google the website).

Cheers, Jeff Baker

There is no better time than now to get involved — how many chocolate eggs did you eat this Easter?
Stair climbing burns about twice as many calories than any other sport or activity which is useful when:

- Just one hot cross bun with butter contains 358 calories (1,500 kilojoules) and can take a 45-min run to burn it off
- A 200g chocolate egg can take a three-hour jog to burn off

Register now!
