For all our past and present Club members, Mr David Pascoe MBE, our Club President for more than 25 years passed away on Friday 31st May.
David has always been passionate about the village of Portreath and our Surf Life Saving Club, he has always supported the club at meeting and events that we have held.
Our thoughts at this time are with Paola and all David’s family.
Portreath SLSC is moving forward with a new membership system this year, as this is new to us it is work in progress as we all get used to it. As we were not ready before Christmas a number of members have already paid the membership by BACS or to Melissa, so this email is to explain about the system and how you need to log in and create an account with your details. A parent need to use their email address and all family members can be put on one account. We will also be using the system for you to register for the competitions through the year.
Matt has given us background information to the system and details for the members how to log in and set up an account:
Portreath SLSC are working with ClubMembership.cloud to streamline their membership administration. It takes up a lot of the club volunteers time to manage the membership; cross referencing payments, collating and securely storing members information and sharing the information with the club managers.
The aim of the ClubMembership system is to simplify the membership administration for both the club members and the volunteers. This is done via a cloud based system that securely stores and backs-up information as well as processing and allocating payments for memberships and events.
On the top of the screen click on to the Members Log in and it will take you to the membership page.
For members that HAVE already joined for 2018
1. Go to https://portreathslsc.clubmembership.cloud/join
2. Set up an account for yourself
3. Within the My Membership > Portreath SLSC – Annual Membership section, add your partner and children information if applicable.
Once you have added all the relevant family members we will set up the membership on your behalf as you have already paid. Please email hello@clubmembership.cloud once you have added you families information.
You can also pay for Board/Ski Storage if applicable or enter events once they have been set up.

You may be aware that Portreath SLSC Graduate Lifeguard project is one of three local causes to benefit from the CO-OPs current Local Community Fund. It looks like we will receive between £700 and £800 to purchase relevant equipment.
The Broad Lane CO-OP Branch are planning a celebration day on 25th November and would like some or all of our Graduate Lifeguards to attend in their uniforms for Photos, cheque presentation, cake cutting etc. They can take flyers etc to promote the club.
It would be excellent for the club to attend to say thank you but also as the Manager told me that we have been put forward again by his store for the next round.

Congratulations to two wonderful ladies who were today presented with a Club Life Members Award. Emma Phillips & Nikki Kendall have both worked incredibly hard within our club in a variety of roles spanning 20 years, they have also worn their green hats with pride and competed at various levels across the country and world. We salute you Emma & Nikki and thank you for everything that you do for us.
Alan & all the committee
Alongside a busy summer training and racing, a group of Portreath SLSC youth members have been working on the Graduate Lifeguard Programme. They are all aiming to become beach lifeguards in the future and each module on the programme gives them the skills to achieve this. Leading up to summer the group worked on creating beach awareness and safety presentations to deliver to younger children. Working in smaller groups they delivered some fantastic presentations, educating children about the flags on the beach, sea and sand safety and what to do in an emergency. Schools, cub groups and other Community organisations received these talks and hopefully the children took some valuable knowledge with them when using the beach this summer. Moving on from this the group learnt how to rescue someone using a Peterson tube and have put these skills into action by helping the club sessions by being water safety cover. For the older graduates, first aid has been their priority, covering CPR, bandaging and currently mastering the use of an AED (automated external defibrillator) and Oxygen. A very good start to the GLP from some budding lifeguards.
Over the winter months we are planning a Coastal Surveillance Course as well as a First Aid course for all the Graduates, hoping some of our senior members will join in so that the club can provide additional coastal patrols next year.

The last home event of this season will take place at Portreath on 23rd/24th September 2017, this is the rescheduled Cornish Championships that were cancelled in July due to bad weather.
26th July 2017.
GBR Lifesaving is proud to announce the teams of 12 competitors to compete at the European Championships, Belgium in September 2017.
Portreath Members selected:
Senior Team – Anya Piotrowicz, Charlie Haynes, George Haynes and Lewis Rosewell.
Youth Team – Louis Garner, Steven Lewis, Maia Garner and Emma Kendall.
A record 93 athletes declared for GBR selection, with 72 athletes racing against each other over a 2 day competition at Portreath. Athletes supported and cheered on by a passionate crowd, raced through testing conditions with overhead surf, winds switching from offshore to onshore between tides, sunshine and heavy rain.
Well done to all the Portreath members who took part in the trial and congratulations to the eight members capped to represent Great Britain.
Wishing the teams good luck at the European Championships taking place 1st week in September.
With our summer season now upon us and the club being used virtually every night , I just wanted to remind our membership on a couple of key points .
1) Club Car Parking.
Can I please remind you all we have limited parking on the beach and would just like to reiterate our club guidelines
Please make this easy for us all and ensure you all follow these simple guidelines .Failure to abide and the club may have to re-visit our whole car parking arrangements . (as we will be in breach of our lease agreement)
2) Water (Showers / Cleaning equipment)
I am sure everyone is not fully aware of our utilities costs in running the club . None of these costs are covered within your membership and it something that we want to continue. Your committee is working extremely hard behind the scenes to ensure all these costs are covered and that we don’t end up passing onto our membership. In particular our water rates constitute a significant amount of our annual costs.
Can I please request you all remember this when taking showers / cleaning equipment / wetsuits etc. Showers / Outside Taps are always available after every designated club session but please review excessive use. With the summer and school holidays fast approaching please remember that unless you are attending a designated training club session, why is there a need to use the club showers?
A reminder also – No wetsuits allowed in the Club House
Your full support in this is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks for your continued support and have a great summer
Alan
Chair
Portreath Surf Life Saving Club
