2009 Is Off To A Flying Start

We have started the year by hosting an indoor speed lifesaving event at Osprey, we invited teams from the PBCLSA (Poole, Bournemouth, Christchurch Lifesaving Association) in which we competed in various indoor speed events fielding teams from the Rookie Lifeguards, Canoe Lifeguards and not forgetting our members from Boscawen Lifesavers. A great evening was had by all and we are keen to continue training for this upcoming sport.

Plans for 2008

Well, here we are in 2008 and it seems to be getting off to an exciting start with the purchase of a third boat for the club with the possibility of a fourth in the pipeline.It seems like the boats will need some work doing so anybody willing to do some necessary fundraising or practical assistance,will be gratefully appreciated in the upcoming months leading to the new season.

Meanwhile we are striving to get more of our members qualified in the RLSS 'Award of merit, and 'NPLQ' awards leading to the open water season where hopefully RYA Powerboat and Short Rang Radio courses will be organised to keep the members on their toes.

We are still training the senior 'Rookies' in Bronze Medallion and the success of the 'Save A Baby's Life' courses are keeping us all busy.

2008 Promises to be an eventful and exciting year for the club.

If you know anybody interested in joining the club, just give James a call. 07805 395 222  All are welcome, whatever your ability !
