Islanders Labour Day Dinner- 12/3

Islanders is hosting an event this weekend with a labour day theme! - Saturday 12/3

Come dressed as you normally would on the Monday. Work/school uniforms or come as whatever profession you aspire towards.

$5 buy in on the night for a Pasta dinner.

Lots of fun and games during the night to keep all entertained as well as an open bar so come in your usual Monday attire on what promises to be a great night!

Cowes Classic/Social Night - Thank You!

Thank you to all members that assisted for the day, in the water, on the shore, through the streets of Cowes and back at the club both on patrol and with a fantastic dinner!

It was another fantastic event day for our club.

The Little Penguin Dash continues to grow and grow and the Cowes Classic continues to be a strong staple of our Bass Coast Series.

Another amazing effort by our fantastic club and its members!

Special mention to Hugo Richter and his family for bringing our members together with the Social Event following the classic. It was a fantastic night and great to see some of our younger members starting to get involved in club events.

International Women’s Day

Over the past week, you may have seen some of the amazing Woolamai Women being recognised on our socials. These women are just some of many, who have demonstrated amazing courage and strength in the field of lifesaving. In honour of International Women’s day, we aim to celebrate all those in our community who identify as women. Without these powerful chicks, our club and lifesaving as a whole would not be the successful service it is. Today and every day, we acknowledge the fabulous female figures in our lives and praise them for their tremendous work and determination.

Woolamai Beach SLSC has been recognised at the Life Saving Victoria International Women’s Day Breakfast with the Trailblazer Award. This award was created to acknowledge the work Woolamai has done in the Gender Diversity and Inclusion space.

Woolamai was the first club in the state to host a Pink Zinc Patrol in 2011, and now it is a state wide event with Surf Club’s and Aquatic Centres coming together to celebrate women in lifesaving. The award was presented to Georgie Wettenhall and Annie Coleman, on behalf of all Woolamai members. We hope all members are proud of this achievement, and we thank each individual for their support and contribution to growing our Club’s diversity. The LSV Trailblazer Award is for all of us. As a Team, Woolamai has grown and pushed to become the best we can, and our ideas and actions are now a vital part of the Life Saving Victoria service. While we will never stop working to be better, we hope each member takes today to reflect and be proud of their contribution to our community.
