What there is to know about Brighton Surf Lifesaving Club

Everything in the Brighton Surf Life Saving Club revolves around our core business of providing beach safety and a vital community service playing a fundamental role in building healthy communities and better health outcomes for South Australians of all ages. It is a meeting place, a training college, a fitness and recreation centre, an emergency evacuation centre, conference facilities, along with encouraging plysical activity and teaching important Australian values:

* volunteerism
* family
* leadership
* teamwork
* meeting challenges
* pursuing excellence

Surf Lifesaving is a lifestyle. In return for the time our Surf Lifesavers put into the core business, they have so many opportunities for self development, achievement at a social, competition and qualifications level while serving the community.

Brighton Membership Opens in October. The surf lifesaving season officially opens with patrols on the beach the first weekend in November, however nippers usually begins in October with Come & Try Days and Seniors with Proficiency Days and Registrations Days also in October. Notification of dates will be posted on this website towards the end of September.

The Brighton Surf Lifesaving Club is a great example of community, education, volunteerism and teamwork. As members we all join in to make Brighton SLSC a great commuity with seniors, parents and committee members leading by example to the younger generations from being in an official accredited role such as patrolling and keeping the beach safe, being an official at carnivals, assistant and age managers, coaches, training officers or in a volunteering roster type role such as cooking a BBQ, giving of time in the uniform shop, kitchen, bar or office etc.

We encourage all members and parents of members to volunteeer in our club no matter how small the job.

Club Dinner Slide Show & Photo Release Forms
Written by Barb Staite



There will be no Club Dinner slide show this week-end because there are over 100 members who have not signed their Photo Release Forms. The form is part of the Club's Registration Process and gives the photographer the right to use photos of members at events such as the dinner, State Titles nights, newsletters and in published articles. Slide shows of the Nippers will also be withheld until the forms are signed. The Secretary will be contacting members either by e-mail or in person starting this weekend. So please, next season make sure all members of your family sign all the documents when you Register.
