ATTN: Coalcliff Surf Life Saving Members

It has come to the Clubs attention that individuals are completing the offered training courses of Surf Rescue Certificate and Bronze Medallions with no intention of joining the club in following years as an active Patrol Member/Lifesaver once qualified/certified.

A new policy has been created to ensure that participants in training courses offered by Coalcliff Surf Life Saving are/will intend to continue to be an active member of the Club to ensure the continual safety of our beach.

This policy stipulates that members who intend to complete a training course will be required to pay an upfront fee of $110 before the first training session. This money will be kept by the Treasurer and returned to the member upon successful completion of the course exams and in conjunction with their attendance on the following season patrols (approximately 10 - 13 patrols). If the candidate is unable to complete the required patrols the following season, the fee will be given to the club to assist with the increasing expenditure on new equipment and tools which are required to ensure the safety of those that attend Coalcliff Beach.

It is our aim that with this policy we will develop the future Life Savers of our community and retain the candidates who complete the Surf Rescue Certificate and Bronze Medallions. We hope that implementing this policy we will increase our patrols from 3 individual teams to 4 teams and grow the lifesaving community which we have created.

A non-refundable fee of $40 will be charged to all participants which cover the expense of workbooks and training manuals.

We apologise for the initial inconvenience, though we ask that you place your trust in our decision in creating this policy and you will see the benefits with increasing numbers of active life savers for our surf life saving club.

Exclusion: All Active Members who can demonstrate the completion of 50 hours in the previous season are excluded from this policy and are only required to pay $40 for the workbooks.

Regards,

Club Captain
Training Officer and Assessors
