| Happy Father’s Day | 🟢⚫️⚪️

Ngā mihi me te aroha nui mō te Rā o Pāpā
Love and best wishes for Father’s Day!

Surf life saving is often a whole family affair - in Clubs around the country / motu, there are generations of a family helping out in some shape or form. For many of us, we form amazing friendships with Father figures there to help and guide Clubbies through their surf life saving journey.

So here’s to the Dads, Papa, Father, Daddy, Grandpa/dad, who give to the community and their friends & family. For some of you, it’s your time out, for others it’s an all in affair with the rest of your family along for the ride. Whatever it is that floats your boat and recharges your batteries, keep striving to be a good role model at home and the Club. 🟥🟨

| Clubbies - check your inbox | ⚫️🟢⚪️

📥 Club members, an important email has hit your inbox. Check your spam or junk because this one is super important! If you registered last year you will automatically get this email, if you’re new to the Club or have been out of the loop for a while but you’re keen to rejoin for the upcoming season - please email us for the Registration information.

📧 Like many Surf Life Saving New Zealand clubs we have taken up the opportunity to use Friendly Manager as our registration and communication system. Our TMSLSC Memberships guru Kathryn has put in a heap of māhi to get this over the line. Thank you so much! Please let Kathryn or Gina the admin know if you have any hiccups, suggestions or queries.

📸 No AI slop here, just some fine art created by a Junior clubbie while LG/PS training was underway. Never too young to get the right message across, they were clearly eavesdropping! (images might not be to scale 😉)
