GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                                         19 APRIL 2022

          PEREGIAN BEACH SURF LIFE
          SAVING CLUB

          Final details of a transition agreement with NHSLSC are being worked on. This agreement will cover the
          arrangements between the two Clubs over the months ahead to allow for a relatively seamless transition at the end
          of this season. (It is important to remember that NHSLSC remain the signatory of the Patrol Service Agreement at
          Peregian Beach through until May 2022 and therefore all aspects of lifesaving operations fall under their control
          until the end of this season.) The transition agreement will include a process for lifesaving members to elect which
          Club they wish to be part of: NHSLSC or PBSLSC and potentially some flexibility options for members who wish to
          retain some degree of participation at both Clubs.
          We are also in discussion with SLSQ in regard to various support for the new Club, including Grant applications and
          potential Seed Funding to assist the new SLSC in its early days and months of operation.

          As this exciting new phase of the Club development moves forward, | would like to take this opportunity to thank the
          members of the Advisory Board who have provided great insight and support over the past almost 3 years. With the
          new entities and Boards taking shape, the Advisory Board is no longer required, but it has provided a critical role in
          ensuring all viewpoints from the community have been considered as we have steadily progressed.
          The Advisory Board has been particularly conscious of the community desire for a “community club” or “community
          focal point” to be re-established at the Clubhouse. Under the guidance of the new Boards, the new Club is planning
          a rejuvenation of the social aspect of Surf Club life with Club Nights and other social gatherings over the coming
          months/years. It is likely that this is as much as we can expect in the near term. We strongly encourage local
          community members to support our volunteer lifesavers and our future social events as the task of building a new
          Club in such a short timeframe is large and ambitious.

          How can you help to make the new PBSLSC a success now:
              a) become a volunteer surf lifesaver
              b) become a volunteer radio operator or other supporting Award holder (which doesn’t involve the full physical
                 requirement of a bronze medallion)
              c) help with the Nipper program, including volunteering for the BBQ roster
              d) help with fundraising
              e) support social events
          Best contact details for any of these opportunities are via the Facebook page (Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Club)
          or via email on [email protected] in the future:
              a) become a “Community Member” of the Supporters Club once the membership arrangements have been
                 defined
              b) if you have a specialist skillset or background (eg fundraising, hospitality, sponsorship or club operations),
                 please make yourself known to the new Boardmembers with an offer of assistance.

                                                                                                          Page 52 of 68
