Well it has been a while since I last posted some thing – but that doesn’t mean that nothing has been going on! Here is a quick summary rather than just avoiding writing loads of separate entries…
Firstly – a quick call to arms.. At Christmas time each year we get a chance to raise a bit of money by selling raffle tickets at the Arndale Centre. This year it will be the 9th of December from 10:30am – 4:30pm so if you can help out there is a form you can fill out at the clubhouse – or let someone know on Thursday swim night. Even if you can just be there for a couple of hours that would be great! If you not a member or would like to find out about membership that would be a good day to drop by – we will be the lot standing next to a car in the Arndale centre & hopefully a few of us will be wearing red & yellow too!
Well Victoria – I have seen your comments – well done to you, Chris, Toby and Jake on your exam last month – there are now new photo’s in the gallery. Also thanks to the examiners Danny Bryant – SLSA, Garry Cairns – EVLG, Kirk – EVLG/Brighton and Stuart – Norfolk, water saftey and not forgetting well done to Jacquie on passing her instructors. Brighton’s new club also made an appearance with Paul Abbie, Simon Crute, Anthony Biddlecombe, Harry Walker & Paul Bass passing their NaRS and Susan passing her instructors.
Beach Lifeguard competition went well – Crawley fielded two teams (with the help of Lionel filling in a little). The competition was very close – coming down to one point between Crawley A and Eastbourne – Eastbourne just won this time – but the Crawley team shows strong promise for the future – Thank you to John Stanar for organising the competition & of course to the Judges, water safety & the bodies on the day – although I think we lost Kirk due to the strong tide – last seen drifting down towards Brighton – in fact I hear that he didn’t bother coming back and is now the club captain of the newly formed Brighton Surf Life Saving Club.
Also should mention two facebook groups Eastbourne Voluntaries and Surf Lifesaving GB
SLSA GB first conference was held last month – more details on the SLSA GB website
Ok so I could have written more & I bet I have forgotten things – you can help – leave a comment or two!
Guess what? Yep, more funding!! October 8, 2007

Application Wet Wet Wetter 3 for powerboat, vhf radio handlers, bronze medallion and first aid courses during October to March has been granted today by the Youth Opportunity Fund (ESCC).
£4990.15 has been awarded for club members between the age of 13 – 19 years to attend courses above. (more information to follow shortly)
I think Lionel was the main man with this one so a big pat on the back for you mate, but thanks to everyone that chipped in with help and support.
Yet again this is an unbelievable result bringing the total amount of funding secured by our junior members to £45,247.21 since Youth OpportunityFunding became available in April 2006, (£36,107.21 since April this year alone!!).
Well done.

YOF – Funding Rnd 2 (Activities) September 3, 2007
Posted by Lee Bailey in EVL, courses, funding.add a comment
To all members 13 to 19 years it’s time to get your skates on.
Deadline for the last round of funding via the YOF is October 1st so Lionel and the gang need your Ideas for activities/courses that can be carried out over evenings, weekends and holidays up to March 31st 2008.
Any ideas you may have can be posted on this site, alternatively there is a black board in the clubhouse to write your ideas down.
Applications must be for at least £500 up to £5000, so if you don’t ask you don’t get. Good luck
YOF is supported by East Sussex County Council.
Lionel and Jacqui Surf course August 21, 2007
Posted by Sean Gardiner in SLSA GB, courses.4 comments
Lionel and Jacqui are newly qualified probational instructors – both took a course lead by Danny Bryant a few weeks back at Seaford Lifeguards. Tom Gwillian from Seaford also qualified and has started training his students at Seaford.
Lionel and Jacqui’s course has eight people on the course – who are all currently enjoying the relatively calm conditions – although I doubt that will last as Autumn rapidly approaches. The people on the course are: kayleigh, Jaden, Chris, Stina, Vitoria, Jake, Immogen and Toby. I will try and get some pics up shortly.
More Funding! June 28, 2007

Our young members (13 – 19) recently submitted a funding application to the Youth Opportunities Fund for activities during the summer school holidays. The application included courses for Windsurfing, Sailing, VHF short range radio handler, SLSA Beach Lifeguard, RLSS Bronze Medallion and RYA Power Boat handler courses.
Saturday the club was notified that £4744.00 has been granted for them to participate in the above courses. Each young member is now prioritising which course they would like to do, they may even get two courses out of it!!
Good job guys! I hope you enjoy your course/s

Jack & James Course – Part 2 June 24, 2007
Posted by Sean Gardiner in EVL, NaRS, SLSA GB, courses, lifesaving.add a comment
Almost forgot…. Well done to Nick, Kirk (finally), James & Chris on their NaRS Beach Lifeguards Award. Also to Garry who is now a full examiner (I qualified too I should mention). Danny Bryant once again came down to oversee the exam – a great thanks to Danny for all the help he has given the club. Jack and James will now start the process of becoming examiners.
Jack and James’ Course Part 1 June 17, 2007
Posted by Sean Gardiner in EVL, NaRS, SLSA GB, courses, lifeguarding, lifesaving, surf.add a comment
Well done once again to the candidates on the most recent course. This time the group have been split up in to two. Jacquie, Jono, Rich and I passed the NaRS on Sunday. This also means that Jack and James are now full Instructors. Keith and Garry examined with Kirk overseeing the exam. This was also Keith’s final exam as a probationary examiner – which makes him a full examiner.
