| Fobs, fobs, fobs…
Just a reminder, if your fob doesn’t work, maybe you are using the wrong one! We’ve had quite a few instances of members ‘fob swapping’ to get into the gym, so if this is you, please don’t do it.
Louise is more than happy to sell you your own nice new shiny fob for $25, yours to keep forever, or if your fob is faulty, she will swap it for you.
Happy fobbing! |

| On Sunday 14th January, the new surf boat named in honour of life member and Henley all round legend, Barrie (Bazza) Cole.
Barrie has been a long-time member member of Henley SLSC and is one of our most well known and beloved members.
Barrie’s family, including wife Irene and daughter Maddie, were in attendance and are clearly very proud of their husband and father.
Congratulations Barrie and may the ‘Bazza’ long row the seas! |

| Our very own Dirtybirds boat crew (Kevin Fitzgerald, Jake FItzgerald, Dan Murdock, Cameron Johns & Jack Jones) were involved in a rescue at West Lakes recently.
The crew were rowing along and passed a gentleman swimming across a wide part of the lake. After just passing the man, the crew noticed that he appeared to be in distress, as he struggled to keep his head above water.
The boat crew did a quick turnaround and hauled the man into the boat, taking him safely to shore. They monitored him and stayed with him whilst they waited for assistance to arrive.
The gentleman had been attempting to train for a triathlon, but underestimated his fitness level, and ran into trouble halfway across the lake. It was very fortuitous for him, that our boat crew was training at that time and could assist him.
This is another example of hourare lifesaving skills are used outside of the patrol environment, in everyday situations.
Well done Dirty Birds! |

Red card, yellow card – Our new club policy for managing breaches of the code of conduct
The aim of this policy is to ensure that the Member Protection Policy is enacted as intended.
This policy will be utilised when a breach of the Club’s ‘General Code of Conduct’ or ‘Code of Conduct for PPA in dealing with CYP’ has been identified.
When a potential breach has been identified by a club member and is reported to a club position holder or committee member, that club official must report the incident to a Club Complaint Officer (CCO).
The CCO will table the issue with the CCO group and carry out the appropriate process to ascertain whether a breach has occurred. The process should include fact-finding investigative activities, including interviews with those involved if appropriate.
If a breach is found to have occurred, the following actions are to be taken:
- For breaches of a minor/innocuous nature, the member should receive a reprimand and advised that a further reprimand within the current season will result in a warning (yellow card) being issued.
- For breaches that are deemed more serious, the member should receive a warning (yellow card) and be advised that a further warning issued within the current season will result in a referral to the Judiciary Disciplinary Panel (red card).
- For breaches that are considered a serious offence, the member will be referred directly to the Judiciary Disciplinary Panel (JDP).
Reprimands, Warnings and JDP referrals will only occur after the incident is reported to the CCO group and consultation has occurred. Penalties should not be issued ‘on the spot’.
The member must be advised in a timely manner of the penalty being imposed and advised of future consequences if further breaches occur.
CCOs will keep a record of all penalties, noting the nature of the breach, the date it was committed and the date that the reprimand or warning expires.
The CCO group is to advise the BOM of any penalties issued, on a regular basis.

| Do you row a boat?
Are you competing at Masters State Titles?
This season we have had an increase in the number of new officials for senior competitors and now it’s time for some officials in the boat and masters areas. If you compete in a lot of events you may need to ask your spouse or a friend to help out otherwise you can compete and official at the same event.
All you need to do is complete the online course component and then you can start at a carnival with a mentor. For masters State Titles we are required to provide 7 officials for each day so we need more volunteers.
For more information please contact Kathy Corbettkathrynjamescorbett@bigpond.com
Thankyou |

Champion Lifesaver & Champion Patrol
The past couple of week a group of het kids have been training for a surf event call champion lifesaver and champion patrol. This event combines surf theory and practical events. The champion life saver includes 40 theory questions about surf, a live person assessment, timed CPR, a swim, board and a run. In open champion lifesaver there is a team of six competitors who answer 20 theory questions each. They also do a two-person live assessment and a four-person CPR which includes the use of the oxygen kit and the defib. This Sunday the champion patrol will undertake a simulated patrol which includes the use of the IRB and rescuing patients out of the water. These kids have worked very hard over the last couple of weeks so it would be good for some people to come down to cheer them on.
Club Champs
It was also great to see everyone turn out for club champs last Saturday. We had a great turnout of 30 people which ranged from U14 to asters. The day started off with a theory test, then followed by a 1km ergo, then the beach events and then all the water events. In all it was a great day of racing against fellow club members and I insist next year that most of the club members should compete.
Important Dates
Last day of HET is Saturday 24th of February.
Middleton Carnival 25th of February.
States Day 1: 4th of March, Day 2: 24th of March, Day 3: 25th of March.
** PLEASE NOTE States Day 1 is now on 4th March not on Friday 23rd March as previously advised at start of season.**

| Big Row article from our Major Sponsor, Flinders Ports |
|
|
| On the 3rd February 2018, Henley SLSC held our 12th annual Big Row event.Volunteer lifesavers from the Henley Surf Lifesaving club travelled to Stansbury last Friday to start their annual Big Row fundraising event.
Local school children enjoyed a surf sports session at the beach in Stansbury, before the lifesavers headed to the bowls club where they enjoyed a fantastic meal and a great evening of entertainment.
At 6am on Saturday morning the first crew set out in a Henley surf boat to start the 68km row across the Gulf of St. Vincent. Throughout the journey the boat was accompanied by 5 support craft, friends of the club who kindly give up their time and use of their magnificent boats. This year’s event was named ‘The Kevin Renfrey Memorial Big Row 2018’ in memory of a much loved and respected support craft skipper who recently passed away.
During the journey there were 4 crews that rotated approximately every hour. This year the rowers battled a headwind and the ocean was very choppy. This resulted in a delay by about half an hour in arriving at Henley. The finishing crew rowed to shore at 2.30pm. As ‘The Gallantry’ fire water boat sprayed water high into the air, a large crowd greeted the rowers. This included; sponsors, patrolling members, nippers, members of Henley’s ‘HET’ youth group, the Surf Lifesaving SA helicopter and a news crew.
It;s not too late to donate! Go to our website – https://henleyslsc.com.au/our-club/the-big-row/
