WBSLSC Spring Clean - Sunday 14/11/21
Hello members,
You’re invited to attend the WBSLSC Spring Clean 9am-12pm Sunday 14th of November (this Sunday).
How exciting! Long sunny days are ahead people
The clubhouse has had some trendy renovations over the off season and now needs a little tidy up here and there.
Put your hand up for an hour or two to help clean the club up for the awesome season ahead.
This is a fantastic opportunity for younger members to be involved as most of jobs to be done are easy.
As an added incentive we’ll supply lunch to all that help.
Thanks guys! I’ll see you all on the island soon

Woolamai Gender Diversity Survey
The Woolamai Beach Surf Lifesaving Club strives for gender diversity, balance and inclusivity at all levels of membership and leadership. Woolamai recognises and values the importance of gender diversity, balance and inclusivity within both our Club community and the wider Phillip Island community. Woolamai has initiated an internal review into the gender diversity of its membership, and its leadership, to identify any barriers or blockers to members fully participating in all aspects of our lifesaving club to ensure a culture of inclusivity in our community .
The Gender Diversity Survey hopes to gain insight into the thoughts and feelings of Woolamai’s community. There are sections where you are able to make comment, and we encourage you to do so. Towards the end of the survey there is option to join a focus group or have an individual phone call to further discuss Woolamai’s Gender Diversity, if you would like to be included please leave your name and contact details in this section.
This survey will take approximately 5 minutes to complete, and closes on Thursday the 18th of November.
If you have any questions please contact Annie Coleman (diversity@woolamaibeach.asn.au).
Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey.
