New teams carnival for nippers
by Nerissa Legge
If you are still wanting to enrol your child in the Rainbow Beach Surf Lifesaving Club nipper program, it is not too late. We still take enrolments after the season has commenced.
The interest shown at our recent sign on’s has been fantastic. There was familiar faces returning for another season, and new members eager to experience Nippers for the first time. I must also thank the volunteers who helped out at each sign on.
We will be holding our first official nipper training day on Sunday, October 5 from 8:30am – 10:30am. All required information and forms are available at our desk on the beach for any new enrolments.
Exciting news this season is confirmation of our carnival being held over two days. Saturday October 18 is the Individual Carnival, followed by a Teams Carnival on Sunday October 19.
To host this event is ‘new’ for Rainbow Beach S.L.S.C. and is sure to benefit the Rainbow Beach Community.
We are excited to be hosting this event for the first time. The carnival is for Nipper age groups from Under 8 to Under 15.The teams event on Sunday will focus on relays.
Under 8 and Under 9 will participate in wade relays and beach relays, while Under 10 to Under 15 will perform in wade relays (Under 10), Irons events, Board relays and Beach relays. We are looking forward to hosting another fantastic carnival.
