THIS IS NOT A JOKE WHO OWNS IT (The sand) The sand is not meant to be taken away from the beach or into the clubhouse, especially the storage areas or showers. All members, officers, nippers and their parents are asked to ensure that bodies and equipment are shaken or washed clean of sand, preferably near the edge of the concrete and NOT in the shower or storage area. Otherwise someone else has to clean it out. It blocks the septic tank and then you cannot use the sh..house. Thank you

THIS IS A JOKE! Solly’s Joke of the Newsletter A blond man was driving home, drunk as a skunk. Suddenly he has to swerve to avoid a tree, then another, then another. A cop car pulls him over, so he tells the cop about all the trees in the road. The cop says “That’s your air freshener swinging about!”

CONGRATULATIONS— LLOYDS SUPA IGA CRONULLA Message from Kim at Lloyds Supa IGA Cronulla I’m very happy to tell you and all of Wanda SLSC that last night I attended the IGA retailer of the year awards. This was the State awards for NSW and ACT. We won the award for best community chest in NSW/ACT. This is a fantastic result and a good reward for all the hard work done by us and your club. There was good exposure for ourselves and Wanda and the photos I requested from you were shown on the stage during presentation. We now are up for the National award against the other winners from the other states. Thank you so much for all your help And please let the club know of this fantastic result. Regards Kim Te Patu
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Congratulations to our winning six person Taplin Team who took home first place in this showcase event at the Elouera Ohana Carnival in February. This event was very exciting and the lead changed hands on many occasions until the final leg, when Izaak Smith caught a broken wave and showed his excellent surf skills to take the lead and run over the finishing line in first place. Congratulations to all the competitors in this event—you represented Wanda with pride in competition and when receiving your awards. Go Wanda!!!

Wanda Nippers blitz State Champs State Championships 2014 was simply magnificent for Wanda Nippers. We finished 3rd in the overall NSW point score, behind Manly and Avoca. Our 160 team, along with parents and supporters, battled through the again horrible weather to produce many stunning, gritty and hard fought performances. It was a joy to watch all the competition. Thank you to all those who contributed to the team Wanda – coaches, age managers and assistants, water safety, IRB, officials, committee, parents and supporters. We can’t even start to name names, because there are just so many people who help out. Thank you to all. And above all to the nippers – who competed proudly, fairly and to their best of their ability all weekend. There were many champions - those who achieved the status of 2014 State Champion, an amazing achievement. And those who achieved a personal best, improved on last year and/or helped their team. Everyone was a winner. We are VERY PROUD of all nippers and our club. Results and pics below (from the Surf Life Saving NSW published results of top 6 places).

SPONSORSHIP POLICY AND PROCEDURES Dear Wanda Members RE: Wanda SLSC Sponsorship Policy and Procedures Update Wanda SLSC has had a Sponsorship Policy document for a number of years. Each year it is circulated to Wanda members to ensure everyone is aware of the sponsorship policy and procedures. It is important that Wanda SLSC continues to develop and maintain a professional and equitable approach to managing the Wanda SLSC sponsorship program. This letter is a summary of the Sponsorship Policy and Procedures document: 1.
The Wanda SLSC Sponsorship Policy and Procedures:
1.1
Acts as a guide to assist the Club, when negotiating with sponsors, the types of benefits available to them.
1.2
Endeavours to ensure that Wanda SLSC is consistent in its approach in dealing with all sponsors.
1.3
Highlights that certain Wanda SLSC approvals must be sought before a sponsorship is pursued.
1.4
Stresses the importance of no conflict of interest with sponsors within the same industry.
1.5
Endeavours to ensure that Wanda SLSC does not enter into a sponsorship agreement where an organisations’ objectives do not match Wanda SLSC.
2
Finance and Sponsorship Committee
2.1
The Finance and Sponsorship Committee is the responsible entity for managing the sponsorship program for the Wanda SLSC. The Assistant Finance Director is the Chair of this Committee.
2.2
The Wanda SLSC Sponsorship Manager is also a member of the Finance and Sponsorship Committee. The Sponsorship Manager’s role and responsibilities involves seeking, securing and maintaining sponsorship for the clubs’ activities as agreed by Wanda SLSC.
Sponsorship Approval Process 3.1
While most of the sponsorships are negotiated and developed by the Wanda SLSC Sponsorship Manager, there are times when Wanda SLSC members may be in a position to pursue various contacts and networks for sponsorship opportunities. When Wanda SLSC members pursue sponsorships it must be undertaken in a professional manner and approved first by the Finance and Sponsorship Committee.
3.2
Any Wanda SLSC member wishing to seek and approach a potential sponsor must submit a request for approval via the Finance and Sponsorship Committee. This is important so that the Committee can assess and scrutinize the potential sponsor to ensure there is no conflict of interest with current sponsors and/or Wanda SLSC objectives. IMPORTANT: The current sponsors are attached FYI. Members or sub-committees must NOT approach current sponsors on this list unless you have approval from the Finance & Committee.
3.3
To ensure that sponsorship opportunities are not missed in between Finance & Sponsorship Committee meeting schedules, Wanda SLSC members can contact the Assistant Finance Director. The matter can be dealt with via email with the Committee (provided the proposal is not too complex that it requires detailed face-to face discussion - a special meeting may be deemed necessary in this instance).
3.4
Any Wanda SLSC member who discusses a sponsorship and associated benefits with a potential sponsor must not make any commitments until they have talked through their ideas with the Wanda Sponsorship Manager who will keep the Sponsorship and Finance Committee informed. Wanda SLSC has developed Sponsorship Benefit Levels so it is important that we provide benefits in a consistent and equitable manner.

Managing Sponsorships
All sponsorships will be clarified in writing through a letter of agreement or the standard Wanda SLSC Sponsorship Memorandum of Understanding. In some cases the sponsor’s sponsorship agreement contract will be used and the sponsor may insist on it for legal reasons especially for sponsorships worth $5500 or more. Wanda SLSC members who are responsible for a sponsorship eg surf life saving equipment for their section or an activity such as a carnival, must get sponsor approval in writing every time you use the sponsor’s logo. It’s a legal requirement. Ongoing communication with Wanda SLSC sponsors is very important. It makes or breaks the success of the sponsorship and whether it will continue. Just because Wanda SLSC has received sponsorship funds it does not end there. Wanda SLSC believes in maintaining long term relationships and loyalty with supporters. That is why the Sponsorship Manager’s role is valuable when they manage the sponsorship for Wanda SLSC they ensure this communication happens. The types of communication important to the success of a sponsorship include: Thank you letter personally signed by the Wanda SLSC President Christmas card Letter/acknowledgement in times of achievement/ congratulations Flowers/card of condolence in times of need Telephone calls to touch base and get feedback (including a debrief after the sponsorship is complete) Invitations to key Wanda events/informal drinks at the club Photos provided (informal/fun) of the equipment/carnival sponsored Supporting the sponsors products and services – let them know that you do! VERY IMPORTANT. Over the years Wanda SLSC has established and maintained a number of long term relationships with sponsors eg Caltex, Brooks, Tradies, Fitness First. Sutherland United Services Club, Purnell Motors, Cronulla RSL, Rockdale RSL and Southside Runners, just to name a few. Many of these sponsors have financially supported the Club for well over ten years and our partnerships are still going strong. We rely of these funds and it is very important that we protect these relationships. Wanda has built a reputation for being professional, reliable, consistent and considerate of our sponsors. As we have legal sponsorship agreements with our sponsors I cannot stress enough how important it is that all members follow the policy and guidelines, especially the Sponsorship Approval process at point 3. Thank you for you support on this matter. If you have any queries please refer these to the Finance & Sponsorship Committee. If you have any potential sponsor leads or Wanda project ideas for sponsorship please refer these to our Sponsorship Manager, Gay Curtis at gay_curtis@optusnet.com.au.
