Surf club looks for members

Umina Surf Life Saving Club is looking to recruit new members as this year's beach swimming season prepares to kick off.

As part of its registration program, the local club will hold a promotions day at Deepwater Plaza in Woy Woy early next month.

Club publicity officer Mr Carl Krucler said the event would be a good chance to recruit new members in the local community while promoting the work of volunteer life savers.

"You can ask members in attendance anything you need to know for your child or yourselves to become involved in surf lifesaving by joining a family-oriented club," Mr Krucler said.

"Members will also be on hand to take registrations on the day.

"There will also be the SLSA promotions trailer to display information on many topics covered by surf life saving."

The day will commence from 9am to 1pm on Saturday, September 5

The Umina club will also hold registration days at the surf club on Sunday, September 13 and Saturday, September 19, for new and rejoining members.

Registrations will be open from 9.30am to 12.30pm.

"Umina SLSC is celebrating its 50th anniversary this coming season so it would be an ideal time to join and become involved in the festivities," Mr Krucler said.

"There will be a weekend of celebrations in recognition of this milestone from Friday, October 30, to Sunday, November 1.

"Previous and current members are encouraged to attend any or all of the functions that weekend to renew acquaintances and relive past experiences while absorbing the wonderful panorama of the beach from the new clubhouse."
