4.  Thank you to those who have indicated willingness to undertake various volunteer roles.  We are collating a list of skills, hope to add more names to it and we will then be in touch.

5.  Due to change of circumstances, length of service and interstate moves we are soon going to have a number of vacancies on the committee.  Our AGM is tentatively scheduled for 7 September 2014 and all positions will be declared vacant.  We may make some interim appointments prior to the AGM, and are interested in hearing from those with the time and energy to give back to the club in the capacity of committee member and/or general volunteer.

Roles on our committee include President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Equipment Officer, Public Officer, Junior Coordinator and we are also looking for people willing to cover a multitude of tasks eg timing, permits, organiser of water safety & first aid attendance, event sanctioning to name a few.

We are throwing it open now so that you (our members) can tell us what you can help with, whether as a committee person or just generally picking up a task.  Do let us know by email here.  Would help with forward planning to receive your replies by end of the week. Just know that inbox will be overflowing J.

6.  There are some changes to the advertised junior calendar so juniors watch for an email from coordinator Luke Hansen regarding this weekend.

7.  A big thank you to Tony Cox and Robbie Weatherald who positioned our new permanent buoys in Lake Alexander recently.  Going to make comparing swim times easier as well as making buoy setting a breeze.
