-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15/07/01 : Beach Patrol for 2001 Last year, a number of youngsters spent a great deal of time patrolling Concord Beach and helped to keep the beach safe for users. Their contribution was greatly appreciated and we hope that they gained valuable experience from it. However, with summer 2001 nearly upon us. Trainee Cadets and Trainee Lifeguards are once again encouraged to help patrol the beach under the guidance of Patrol Officer Jo Fling, Board Officer Kayleigh Surridge and senior members Barry Storey, Len Dow and Chas Carey. With fingers crossed for some good weather, lets hope for a successful summer. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15/07/01 : Forthcoming Social Events On the 13th October 2001, the annual Dinner and Dance will take place at the Barge. The cost of a ticket is £10 and will include a Buffet, Presentation and Disco. Everyone is welcome as it is likely to prove an enjoyable evening. As well as this, the clubs annual Open Day, which is held a Concorde Beach, is likely to be in August. These events will hopefully prove to be extremely enjoyable and will provide some insight into the events organised by Canvey Lifeguards. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15/07/01 : Purchase of a New Patrol Boat The new patrol boat was delivered on the 1sy July 2001 and is now in use. The boat was christened the 'Chas Carey' as a mark of recognition to the years of service Chas has given to the club. A dedication day to celebrate the launch of the boat will be arranged shortly and it is likely that this event will be combined with a family barbecue. SO WATCH THIS SPACE!!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15/07/01 : Team Award Of The Year In February the Castle Point team of the year was presented to Jo Fling leaving CPSC's honoury secretary Mike Battle to say: "These people work very long hours and many of them are volunteers, which we felt deserved recognition."
