Hi everyone and welcome to Winter.

         To all our dedicated Life Savers who

patrolled for the season, a huge Thank You. Over the season our club patrolled  1217 hours.

           Congratulations to Ken Peters and

Maddie Clarke for being awarded Senior and Junior

DROMANA BAY L.S.C.

PIER SWIM.

Well its that time of the year again when we start to organize our next Pier  Swim. This year the swim will be held on 3.2.07. Already we have a major sponsor which is the Bendigo Bank who have sponsored us for $500.

If anyone would like to help this poor understaffed Secretary send out letters for sponsorship please give me a call. I would be eternally grateful.

GREAT NEWS!

The Bendigo Bank has granted us an allocation of funds to purchase a new IRB. An awards night is to be held on the 21.6.06 at the Rye Civic Hall at 7pm. Please come along and show your support for our club

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING!

 The Annual General Meeting for the Dromana Bay

Lifesaving Club will be held on 22.7.2006 at

Ken and Nola Peters Home,

51 Charles St Dromana. at 1.00 pm.

This is an important meeting for our club and its future

direction and we hope you can all come along and maybe take up a position on the committee.!

NEW CLUBROOMS.

Over the last few months, we have been involved in meetings with the Shire, Scouts ,LSV and the Foreshore

Committee regarding our new clubrooms. We are now at a stage where we are meeting with the Dromana scouts so we can put forward a proposal that suits us, them, and the

community. From there the proposal will be drawn up by LSV and submitted to the Shire for approval (fingers crossed). For this coming season, we hope to be operating out of shipping containers to be located in the precinct of the pier area thus giving us more room for storage and more

secure premises.

T.V.Stars in the making (not!)

On Wednesday 31st May, 3 brave lifesavers ventured into the waters of Port Phillip Bay (Rosebud Pier) to provide water safety and boating assistance for SBS who were filming a T.V.Series

called “Wilfred” to be aired in January 07 on SBS.

Although not appearing on camera and basically hanging around the pier most of the day, Ken, Julie and Peter raised $200 for the club. Assisting our members were Rosebud LSC who supplied boating and other equipment and

Sorrento LSC who supplied and additional boat. Ask Ken about the toilet paper episode, it’s quite amusing!

 Social Gathering!

Nola has arranged for a social swim and lunch to be held at Pelican Park Aquatic Centre in Hastings on 16.9.2006.

We will meet in the carpark at 10.30am, have a swim and then stay for lunch. Hope you can all come!
