Notes from last Sunday’s Q&A
For those that weren’t present last Sunday, I confirmed that we’ve
signed the Surrender of Lease document that will result in us
vacating the club rooms, moving to the temporary compound at the
northern end of the beach and leading to the eventual demolition of
the old building.

 Final date for us to have moved – 10 of June
 Projected date of new facilities – Early 2018
We had a discussion around how the club will operate during the
period of our location in the compound. Some of the points we
covered
 Access from the north to the south will be compromised
during the build phase. Road passage will be possible at the
back of beach and the beach itself will be clear. The
construction zone for the pool, beach hub ( the club ) and
Sunset Hill ( northern playground ) will be boarded off.
This will possibly change beach goers habits and affect
where patrols are mounted next season.
 We will run lifesaving operations from the compound, those
assets like IRBs, Jet ski, boards, tubes and the like will be
stored in the compound.
 Club activities including Juniors will run from the
compound and junior gear will be stored there. We
will have fixed swim cans at that end of the beach.
After club activities, like sausage sizzles will be
conducted from the compound and the surrounds.

Competition equipment will need to be stored at home.
Club competition gear stored at home by members will
need to be documented and records lodged with the club
Limited storage may be available for competition gear in
the compound or at extra locally located containers at
places yet to be confirmed
A commercially run café housed in a specially modified
container and serving coffee, drinks and food will operate
to the north, part of by not within the compound.
We will utilise the public toilet block nearby.
Unfortunately, hot showers are not a feature.
We are exploring options for Friday night social gatherings
At present we’ve negotiated a limited reciprocal gym
arrangement with City of Perth who are honouring the ac
cess we gave to their elite surf squad over the last two
years. At this stage this is restricted to boat rowers and their
coaches/sweeps. Through personal contacts ski paddlers
have access to a gym at a football club. At present other
club members will need to use a gym in their local area. We
are working on a possible reduced rate membership with
Selby Gym.
Some gym gear, probably free weights and some ergos will
be housed at the northern compound and we envisage running some boot camp style training sessions through the
year
We are mindful of the reduction in facilities available to
members and will look at the current fee structure however
while healthy we need to ensure the club’s financial
position remains strong for the inevitable impact of fit out
of the new building
Current concept plans and the developing detail plans are
currently considered confidential by the MRA and the City.
We are in discussion with the development team to have a
briefing for the membership as soon as possible
Annual Dinner
For those attending the Annual Dinner this Saturday, I’m sure we’ll
have a great time. I’m too ‘square’ but for those young people
going to the modern music(!) recital GTM ( Groove the Moo, I’m
told ) I hope you have a ‘swinging’ time. Is that like that Glastonbury Festival where mud wrestling is on the program as
well?
If so, wrestle well and wrestle fairly.
