| RLSS mixed pairs 2008 |
On Saturday 1 March, Eastbourne Voluntary Lifeguards sent a group of young members to compete in the RLSS mixed pairs at Olympos Pool in Burgess Hill.
And what a success it was! In the juniors our Amy, Curtis, Louisa and James came first and second! They ended up with the same total points so the incident position decided the final placing. Crawley came in at third place.
Crawley, Christ’s Hospital School and Worthing also competed in the seniors.
The next branch competition is the Sussex Teams (2 male and 2 female) held on the evening of 19 April at The Sovereign Centre in Eastbourne. You can find the entry forms on the Branch Website: www.rlss-sussex.co.uk
Well done everyone and thank you to our parent members for organising everything and taking the kids to Burgess Hill.
We look forward to seeing you compete again in the Sussex teams competition in April! Good luck!

What a night, it was night to remember first our rookies coming second and England going through to the final in the rugby and England 3-0 in the football. Any way the event was Worthing Town Cup and with last minutes pull outs we still able to get our rookies up there. The lads and girls who competed have done themselves proud competing against guys who so much older and beating Crawley on one of the speed events was amazing. The guys who competed where James, Alex, Holly and Lousia. All 4 competed at such a high standard on the night and all their supporters (including me) on tender hooks as they had some very close finishes. All of them should be very proud of their achievement tonight easily Holly as it was her first ever competition and also she was the youngest competitor there. So well done all of you, you have worked so hard for this and u where amazing. Thanks to all support and transport we wouldn’t of got them up there otherwise.
WELL DONE GUYS
Lionel
Patrol Day Success September 3, 2007

Last Saturday (24th August) members of the club young and old came together to provide lifeguard cover between Splash Point (Redoudt Fortress) to Eastbourne Pier. The day was a complete success with 15 members turning out throughout the day to carry out foot patrols, boat patrols, observation posts and even some board patrols. With one minor first aid incident dealt with I am sure our presence alone safeguarded many that swam in the sea on the day. Remember, a good lifeguard will identify a potential incident before it actually happens……ooh that must be us, what a team!

| Events 2007 |
We finished the day off back at the clubhouse with a fund-raising evening amongst club members and their families by having a BBQ and raffle. The club raised over £50 which is fantastic and I actually won a raffle prize!
Thanks to everybody that volunteered their time throughout the day, evening (setting up/down), donations (prizes/monetary/equipment etc) and parents who came to support us (and not to forget our mackerel friends who joined us for a ‘bite’ to eat).
