Holding a key requires the person to the follow the rules which are on the door in the clubhouse…. Sign in/out, empty bin if needed, ensure the clubhouse is secured, report any damage etc. A number of weighted boards will be left in the clubhouse to borrow at Fistral. So there is no need to access the store.

We are awaiting the keys to be cut, so once we have them these will be ready for issue and the boards will be put in place.

Level 1 Coaching Course 2024

28th April 2024
NSLSC Club Hut Fistral Beach

Level One coaching course for those wanting to gain a qualification and help our nippers get the most from the training. It will involve theory and practical components, the theory will take place on 28th April and then the remaining practical elements over the subsequent two or three weeks during the nipper sessions. The club is happy to pay for this course, on the understanding that if you then are unable to commit to helping regularly (and that doesn't mean every week!) for at least a year you will be liable to refund the club the cost. Some understanding of surf life saving as a sport is required, so if your nippers are brand new (and didn't do sandhoppers) then waiting until next year maybe beneficial. You will need to be signed up as a volunteer member with the club, this fee covers your slsgb membership and insurance. You will need to have a DBS check carried out by the club prior to starting the course so signing up means you consent to this process starting. Any question please do ask myself or Kass.
