We are looking forward to our first year 'after' Corona. And that means we are ramping up our preparations again. We have welcomed new parents in many roles. Parents play a vital role in probably every club but certainly also in ours. And yes, we're a surf life save club so you might think we only need our own David Hasselhoffs but nothing is further from the truth. We have many roles that need fulfilling and there is a role for every 'type' of parent. Our club cannot function without its committee and the committee as such never takes to the water - in other words, there are plenty of roles that do not require you to take to the water.
Michelle has taken over the club secretary role from Melissa. Kate is settling into the role as membership secretary that was previously held by Maggie. It's great to have Dave's skills in helping us to improve and update our website and IT systems, including online payment facilities.
But we also need parents to help out with club BBQs, fundraising, catering on the beach, awards evening, kit maintenance and many other roles.
Over the past weeks, we have been running four Synergy Saturdays to refresh the skills of our coaches and welcome new parent helpers into the DNA of the club. We refreshed the coaches' skills on first aid, club procedures, board & tube rescues and many other skills - all to get ready to have your kids safely enjoy the Cornish beaches.
The Synergy Saturdays also serve to get to know each other a little because, during actual sessions with kids, there is hardly any time to talk socially. And often, there are SO MANY great skills 'hidden' among our membership! They just need discovering.....
We have people from all walks of life: some bring teaching skills, others bring water skills, others again bring medical skills and then we also need a lot of people with a great dose of common sense! Want to find out which roles we have available? Click here for more information.
The Synergy Saturdays may be over but our search for energy, dedication and skills is not. If you think you can lend your skills to the future of your kids' club, do not hesitate to chat to any of us at the beach - it is your dedication that forms the beating heart of our club.
