62nd Annual Report 2012/2013 - Anglesea Surf Life Saving Club

Junior Activities Report
The Anglesea Nipper program ran from
October 2012 with our Sunday Dolphin
sessions through to the Victorian Junior State
Championships in late March 2013. We had
just over 540 children including SRC’s and our
wonderful Starfish members, 22 Age Group
Mangers, 20 Age Group Leaders, 50 water
safety officers, 10 First Aid Officers, numerous
general volunteers helping with beach set up
and preparing & cooking the BBQ all working
together to create what we hope was a
wonderful experience for all.
We were blessed with good weather and
moderate seas which assisted greatly in the
running of the program. As usual the busy
period was from Christmas to early January
where Nippers under took the Surf Education
Program as well as being well represented in
the Annual Anglesea Door Knock which broke
all records, the Nipper Art Show, Cosy Corner
Carnival where we were represented by 140
children. Later in January our Nippers took part
in our Junior Club Championships, followed
by the Surf Coast Regional Carnival where
Anglesea Nippers qualified 55 relay teams to
represent Anglesea at The Victorian Junior
State Championships in Lorne where we had
95 Nippers competing over the two days.
We had a solid performance at the Victorian
Junior State Carnival finishing 9th overall out of
30 clubs. The pleasing aspect was we managed
to make the final in 80% of the events however
we did meet some impressive opposition from
some very strong clubs, none more so than
Mentone LSC who were the eventual Victorian
State Junior Champions. It is clear to improve
the overall performance we need to put more
time into our competitive training.
