FAREWELL Our lovely registrar, Kersten Sadler, is retiring from her position and heading off overseas to travel with her husband, Rob. Kersten has been in the position of registrar for the past 10 years, a position that she has done on a voluntary basis. The club has great appreciation for Kersten and the work she has done to keep our registrations up to date. There are many and varied memberships at the club and Kersten has performed this role with quiet professionalism. Thank you Kersten from all of us at Wanda Surf Lifesaving Club. We will miss you. Happy travels!!!
(If anyone is interested in taking up the role of registrar, please contact the office or Anita to discuss what is involved. We’d love to have you…)
Solly’s Joke of the Newsletter Two blonde men find three grenades, and they decide to take them to a police station. One asked: “What if one explodes before we get there?” The other says: “We’ll lie and say we only found two.”
