Swansea RSL Raffle

Every Thursday night Caves Beach SLSC has a raffle at Swansea RSL. Swansea RSL has been a fantastic long time supporter of Caves Beach SLSC. Apart from their donation each year they allow us to conduct one of our major fundraisers, our raffle, on their premises. For this raffle to be successful we require people to assist, the more volunteers, the more evenly spread the workload.

The raffle goes from 5:30pm till about 6:30pm.

Surf Club Repairs/Redevelopment

The club executive have now engaged Schriber – Hamilton architects to prepare a development application for submission to Lake Macquarie city council based on the master plan concept drawings. The concept drawings have been developed in consultation with architects and presented at a club committee meeting. The re development will not proceed unless funding is secured and all appropriate approvals have been obtained.

The plan incorporates;

-The creation of extra gear storage and meeting room facilities

-Redevelopment of the internal areas to provide improved facilities for members

-The provision of glass facades on the ground and first floor levels to maximise the view of the beach and adjoining -grassed recreation area.

-An extensive walk out balcony.

-Improved security measures for the facility.

The included drawings show a proposed layout and a perspective view of the appearance of the building.

At this point in the development process the executive committee would welcome constructive input and suggestions from members to one of the most exciting projects our club has embraced. Members can provide suggestions, comments and direct enquiries to info@cavesslsc.com.au or contact Darryl on 0409 180 931

New Sponsors Now Supporting Our Club

Caves would like to welcome to the club two new sponsors for 2008.

The approach of winter means one thing for some club members- IRB racing.

Our team braving those winter months this year will be the best equipped on the eastern seaboard thanks to the support of Neptune wetsuits.

Neptune have developed a wetsuit suitable for the rigours of IRB duties and have chosen Caves to trial, demonstrate and promote their products amongst the IRB and surf life saving fraternity.

They will also be providing a selection of wetsuits for our patrolling IRB drivers throughout the summer, keeping our guys and girls warm whilst carrying out their patrols.

National Sales Manager John Rigby and the Neptune team are looking forward to a rewarding partnership with Caves through Neptune, and rest assured Caves will be doing our best to promote Neptune at every opportunity.

Our sincere thanks to John and the team.
