CoGG $2000 grant enables purchase of new swim cans
With the generous support of a $2000 Community Grant from the City of Greater Geelong, OGLSC has purchased 17 swim marker buoys to assist in Lifesaving Training Activities. The club has trialled the cans over the winter months and found them very useful in training IRB drivers. IRBs account for the majority of ocean rescues in Victoria, and the marker buoys are a great way for drivers to hone their driving and rescue skills in a safe controlled manner. The buoys will also be used during the Ocean Grove Open Water Swim to be held on Sunday 28 January 2018.

Removal of surf craft from clubhouse
With the pending redevelopment of the Ocean Grove SLSC club house the Committee of Management would like to remind non-financial members of the Ocean Grove SLSC that any craft they have stored at the club will be removed. These craft may be sold by the club to recover some of the cost of storage, used by other club members or disposed of as scrap. If you have boards or skis stored at the club and are NOT a financial member, please remove them from the clubhouse by the end of July 2017.
Financial members are also requested to take home any stored craft if they do not intend to renew their club membership, or if the craft are not currently being used.
If you have any questions regarding this, please contact Nick Bohan 0417 034 877.
