The Final Kids club for 2011 and we nearly had to be called off! Luckily the weather did not deteriorate as much as expected and it continued as planned.

As the BOM forecast spelled trouble, it was decided to push the session out an hour, which turned out unnecessary as it didn't get as bad as expected.

Special congratulations are extended to two of the students that passed their Certificate 1 tests. Both achieved very high pass marks in both their practical and theory components of their windsurfing certification. Both students will be able to continue on to Certificate 2 level next year.

There was a new gadget at the kids club that made its debut. The iDO was donated to us by Starboard International, and turned out to be a real hit amongst our youngsters. Never have we seen 5 year olds take to the water with such ease. The iDO will be one of the things that make a massive difference in the take-up of windsurfing amongst youngsters.

Kids Club restarts again from the 3rd Jan 2012 and have Kids Club every Tuesday and Thursday concluding on the 26th Jan. Please get your registrations in early as we are already close to capacity with kids and the last thing I want to do is turn anyone away!

On Sunday the 29th Jan from 4.30 till 6.30 WV will be holding the Graduation ceremony for the students from the kids club. Parents, grandparents and friends are welcome for a BBQ. Costs are $10 per adult and kids $5. We will be sending out more information on this very soon. We will however require you to register in advance so that we can finalise numbers for catering.

The children will be receiving their graduation certificates and there will be awards and prizes, along with the announcement of the WV Kids Club presidents award for one lucky child!!!

Parents that are able to assist during the school holiday program can you please let me know. We are very light on people over these few weeks. It doesn't matter if you can windsurf or not, just as long as you are prepared to get wet!
