Accommodation Policy

 

An important component of patrolling at Woolamai Beach Surf Life Saving Club is the ability to stay overnight at the Clubhouse.  This provides members with a unique experience, social opportunities, and most importantly increases the Club’s ability to attract patrolling members for a whole weekend or multiple days.

However the Club has to ensure that the safety and enjoyment of all members is maintained. 

There is also a need for the Club leadership team to know who is staying at the Clubhouse along with contact details in case of an emergency or call out.

Parents and legal guardians of junior members need to provide consent to their children staying overnight and be confident that there is an appropriate level of supervision.

For these reasons all members will be required to complete a simple online form before staying overnight at the Clubhouse.

Bookings for the Club residence can be made by emailing the Club Administration Officer on secretary@woolamaibeach.asn.au

Junior Member Accommodation Policy

The Woolamai Beach SLSC Board has endorsed the following interim policy for junior member accommodation at the Clubhouse. The Board will monitor this policy over the coming months before endorsing a longer term approach.

Under 15s

A junior member under 15 years of age may not stay overnight at the Clubhouse unless in the company of a parent or guardian or unless attending an overnight camp or training course at which there will be appropriate adult supervision and parental permission has been provided as part of enrolment in the course.

15-18 year olds

A junior member between 15-18 years of age may stay at the Clubhouse overnight if the following has occurred:

  • The junior member must have signed the Club’s code of conduct and submitted it to the Club in the current season.

  • A parent or guardian must have made prior contact with a senior member and confirmed that senior member is willing to accept responsibility for the supervision of the junior member.

  • A parent or guardian must book the junior member in for each night of their stay using the Clubhouse accommodation booking form and agree to the terms and conditions.

  • The junior member must be undertaking a lifesaving activity the day prior to or the day following the overnight stay.

The Woolamai Beach SLSC Board thanks you for your commitment and dedication to the club.

We hope you have a safe and happy time here
