FOOD INFORMATION:

Once again we have Melbourne Paella Co. providing our meal!

A little bit about the company. We aim to provide your function with a delicious and memorable experience for your guests.

We recommend two or three types of paella to choose from to cover all of your guests dietary requirements:

Sustainable Seafood
Chicken & Chorizo
Vegetarian/Vegan.

Our Paellas are made with the freshest and highest quality of produce including fresh boneless chicken, high quality authentic mild chorizo, and fresh seasonal vegetables. We do not compromise on quality or abundance. The paellas are cooked 100% from scratch right in front of all your guests and we feel they have the finest flavours of any paella in Melbourne. Your guests will enjoy watching the visual display, the cooking technique, the aromas, and eventually the delicious main course.

Dietary requirements - no problem! Paella is 100% gluten free, dairy free, nut free, healthy, and absolutely delicious! Our vegetarian paella is also suitable for vegans.

Junior Accomodation Policy

Our Club Board has identified the need to formalise a junior accomodation policy to ensure the safety and enjoyment of junior and other members staying overnight at the Clubhouse.

We are currently finalising an interim Junior Accommodation Policy, which will be released shortly. Once released, junior members will again be able to stay at the Clubhouse, subject to conditions.

In the mean time, a reminder of the current conditions below.

Effective immediately NO junior members (under 18) will be permitted to stay overnight at the Clubhouse unless participating in a camp or course.

Junior members who are patrolling may do so and can attend patrol dinners or activities but must be picked up by a parent or guardian prior to 10pm.

Should any parents of junior members have enquiries, wish to discuss this or find out about alternatives to staying at the Clubhouse please get in touch with Jason Close via president@woolamaibeach.asn.au or 0417 569 004

IRB Crew Camp - EOI

The training team are excited to announce a brand new date for our IRB Crew Camp next season!

Pre-requisites:

Clubhouse Off Limits

Dear Members,

The clubhouse and residence will be off limits and out of action for our upcoming Bronze Camps in December.

Monday 4th December - Friday 8th December 2023
Sunday 10th December - Sunday 17th December 2023

During this time, no access to the clubhouse will be permitted unless approved by the Chief Instructor or a Board Member.

Please ensure all belongings are removed from the clubhouse prior to the camps starting. Patrol Leaders will be contacted regarding their respective patrols that fall on the weekend before and after Bronze Camp.

Thanks

Patrol Hours Competition

The Patrol Hours Competition is back! Patrol hours are given to a member who performs either a voluntary patrol or water safety event either at Nippers, SRC, Bronze, Channel Challenge, Cowes Classic or Little Penguin Dash.

At the beginning of each patrol, the patrol captain will sign on the patrol via LIMSOC and then sign on each member individually. If you are late to the patrol, it is your responsibility to speak with the PC to be signed on.

Members are to be accountable for keeping track of their own hours. To do this, login to Members Area and click Patrols > Patrol Hours. (Hours may not be updated straight away as LSV input the data manually).
