Solly’s Joke of the Newsletter

A Russian, an American, and a Blonde were talking one day. The Russian said, ‘We were the first in space!’ The American said, ‘We were the first on the moon!’ The Blonde, ‘So what? We’re going to the be the first on the sun!’. The Russian and the American looked at each oth-er and shook their heads. ‘You can’t land on the sun, you idiot!’ You’ll burn up!’ said the Rus-sian. To which the Blonde replied, ‘We’re not stupid, you know. We’re going at night!’.

Well done to all who attended our patrol Christmas party/gathering.

A big thank you to Matt Blackshaw for his efforts in organising this

Get together and to try and instil some pride into our Wanda patrol

Members. And the burritos were yummy!

CONGRATULATIONS TO Nick Fox for being selected in the

Interbranch team. We wish Nick and all our other members the best of

luck for this coming weekend.

BATE BAY SURF CLUBS, MEMBERS, FRIENDS AND FAMILY!!!

A competition is being held between the four Bate Bay clubs for a blood donation drive.

In 2009 Wanda won this competition and received funds as prize money.

This year, from 21st November until 21st December, we are asking mem-bers, family and friends to attend the local Red Cross and donate much needed blood. The prize this year is $1,250.00 and will go to the winning club.

So let’s all get behind Wanda but, most importantly, such a great cause.

Go online to register into your club’s group:

Congratulations to the following members who were nominated for the Cook

Community Classic Awards as well as the local Council awards for service to the community, in particular, our

great surf club:

Anne Caterson (tireless work on the Sutherland to Surf)

Kersten Sadler (our wonderful registrar)

John Douglas (our carnival entry man and general all round club member)

Trevor Elliott (our Treasurer who gives up an enormous amount of time)

Glad you are with Wanda. We couldn't do it without you.

Another club member, Alex Vance, was recognised for her services to Woolooware High School.

A very big thank you to Supa Lloyds IGA at Cronulla for coming to the club yesterday to present

us with a big donation. Through their Community Chest program, Supa Lloyds IGA have recent-

ly sponsored charities such as the Salvation Army ($10,000) in the Blue Mountains and two

schools ($4000) within that area who were affected by the recent bushfires. And yesterday it

was our turn! We are very grateful to Supa Lloyds IGA at Cronulla for their continued support of

our club and we thank them from the bottom of our hearts! So everyone, support this local busi-

ness who, in turn, supports us! Thank you to all who attended the cheque presentation.


Rescue of the Month (October)

Congratulations to the following members on being nominated and winning Sydney Branch Rescue of the Month. Stephanie McIntosh and Elyssa Lawrence.

These two girls are from patrol 11 and executed a flawless rescue of a woman who was in distress. These girls calmly worked togeth-er to bring this lady into shore and keep her safe.

The club was the winner of a pair of binoculars so great work girls!

The club has been very fortunate to receive a Government grant to go to-wards our upcoming building works. Sarge and Anita put this proposal through and, with the help of Mark Speakman, State Member for Cronulla, we were successful!

Interclub Carnival

Well, we went, we competed and we came away with third place! Not a bad

effort considering a number of our members were away. How fantastic was

the 12 a side swim relay where Wanda were the victors! Great swimming by

everyone in that race. The lead was changing all the time but it was great to

see Mini Allum’s fabulous body surfing skills come into play to take the lead

and win the race ahead of North Cronulla. Everyone who competed in all

events did so with the Wanda pride.


Cossies...

Just to let you know that we have cossies (men's and ladies)available for sale in the office. Please contact Carol or Lizzy on 9523 4343 is you need to purchase a new cossie.

CLOTHING… Hopefully you have all now seen the clothing range which was emailed this week. We have some items for perusal in the office. Orders can be taken and once we received 10 or more items we can place the order. Payment must be made at the time of ordering. Please contact the office on 9523 4343 if you have any questions.

Nipper parents who are bronze holders and IRB drivers are MOST welcome to be attend rostered patrols at any time. We are always looking to boost our numbers on patrol and, as we have many nipper parents who are bronze holders, it would be great to see you on patrol! Maybe your child is on a pa-trol? This could be something you could do together. If anyone is interested please contact the office on 9523 4343 and we can help you out.

If you cannot make your patrol, you MUST find a substitute.

Please also contact the office to advise if you cannot find a

substitute.

REMEMBER ON PATROL TO ‘SLIP SLOP SLAP’ and wear your FULL patrol uniform—see photo below:
