During this time, it is expected that ILS will be developing a case for inclusion into the main Olympic Programme in the future.

Now that we have all safely returned from an amazing week in Exmouth for Nationals our focus now turns to Senior Nationals this weekend at Portreath. This is billed as the pinnacle event on the Surf Life Saving calendar seeing the best in the best compete for the coveted titles.
The weekend kicks off on Friday for an International Event, England v Wales. This is then followed in the afternoon by an exciting elimination event; the Golden Flag which has a healthy £500 cheque included in the last flag on the beach to grab!
We then progress onto the main event, Senior Nationals. Starting each day at 9am. Come down and watch the best in our country compete in each discipline, exciting to watch and inspiring for our young athletes. There will be a drone filming throughout the weekend with live coverage played back to the club, first time we’ve done this so very exciting.
There will be full refreshments over the course of the weekend with the legend Paul Hancock & his wife Andrea taking up the BBQ gauntlet. Bar will be open from 2pm each day.
Sunday evening it’s time to let your hair down with the ‘After Party’ this will be open to everybody over 16yrs, no tickets required. Disco and bar until 12.
Thank you to everyone that has already pledged offers of help, if you are free and would like to be involved in the team please get in touch. We would be grateful for any donations of cakes over the weekend please.
Lets make it a good one, Go Green Army!
Important Notice
During the last meeting the use of social media was a topic for discussion and it is important that it is used in the appropriate manner. Social media is such a great tool to promote the club, but we must be aware of what we all post and consider everyone within the club. The sharing of photographs is a great way for parents and friends to catch up on competitions and training and used to enhance the reputation of the Portreath SLSC. However, if you are taking individual pictures of children could you please ask the parents of the child permission before they are tagged and put on social media sites. We are in no way trying to stop photographs as they are a massive part of what we all do at Portreath Surf Lifesaving Club, but just ask that we are aware and common sense is used to prevent any issues. If you do see anyone at the beach taking photographs of our children could they be made aware to the coaches or ourselves as we are within our right to challenge those individuals. Thank you for your continued support in keeping all our children safe and allowing them to enjoy the beach and club.
Steve and Andrea
Child Protection Officers
BEACH PARKING
We hope that you and your families have enjoyed the first sessions on the beach – great to see so many happy faces.?
We would love to invite you all to park on the beach, however for safety reasons – which are of paramount importance to us for you and your children, we have to make rules.
During club training priority for the limited number of beach spaces are for those who are coaching sessions, those with prior permission from the committee and active committee members who may need access to the clubhouse for many reasons. All entrance and exits must be clear at all times for emergency services and please NO double parking. Also please allow space for gear (skis and boards etc) to be removes and returned to the clubhouse.
Parking on the hill and on the main road is free and of course there is the car park.
Your co-operation regarding the above is much appreciated and would greatly contribute to the smooth running of the PTSLSC.
Thank you
PTSLSC Committee
