This year Wye River had 2 guys teams and 1 girls team competing at the 2009 Australian IRB Championships at Kawana Waters, QLD, on the 24-26th July. Everybody had a fantastic time and we had mixed results. The guys team of Joel Craddock & Trent Delaney went well, making it through to the 2nd Round in the Tube Rescue. The girls team made up of Lisa Castle & Belinda Schultz made it through to the Quarter Finals in all four events. Then continued on to compete in the Semi Finals in the Mass Rescue. Sophie & Imogen Brough also crewed in their first aussies for Lisa & Belinda in the Teams event and did a great job. Overall a great carnival & we all looked the part.

RESCUE 2008 - WORLD LIFESAVING CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!

Lisa Castle, Michael Barrand, Joel Craddock & Courtney Buchanan-Huhn competed in IRB (Inflatable Rescue Boat) Racing. They came a respectable 2nd place in the Female Mass Rescue.

OFFICIALS COURSE

Recently Life Saving Victoria (LSV) has modified the Level 1 Officals Course. So now to gain your Level 1 Officals Award you are required to attend a seminar run by LSV. See the dates below. After completing the seminar you then have to attend a carnival and show the assesor that you're capable of being an offical. There are no prerequisites for the award. You don't even have to be a club member, you could just be a parent of a member. The seminar runs for approximately 3-4 hours. Our club currently only has a few officials but we need to supply one or two officials for every carnival we compete in. So if your interested in becoming an Official then Click Here to email Lisa Castle.
