Hi team
This last ‘off season’ would have to have been one of our most
unusual and in turn busiest periods of the year, couple that with
this year's AGM, identified constitutional anomalies and
requirements as well as the ever changing Covid-19 requirements
- I'm very happy to say though we ALL got through it and in turn
positive we are all looking forward to Labour Weekend and the
official start of the 2020 / 2021 Season.
Grace Campbell along with numerous others have once again
made sure we are operationally ready for the season and
everyone should be aware of your patrol dates and ongoing
Lifeguarding requirements and commitments, to which I would
like to thank ALL our Lifeguards in advance for your time and
professionalism, wishing everyone a safe and enjoyable summer.
There are many avenues
for our lifeguards to
develop so make sure you
take every available
opportunity and learn from
every moment both on and
off the beach and don't forget
to register your interest here

The AGM saw a higher than usual interest in management
committee positions to which I would like Thank ALL nominees
(elected or not) for taking an interest in the direction of the club
and for what you can contribute going forward - you have
challenged us all to sit up and take note and to consider change as
a positive.
I would like to welcome the following new faces on your
management committee:
Bronwyn Prescott - DoMembership,
Marcus Forbes - DoSurf Sports and
Peter Storey - DoJunior Surf
as well as the re-elected
Grace Campbell - DoLifeguarding and
Tony Sands - DoFinance.
This will be my second term as chairman to which I appreciate the
opportunity to represent the club for another year. I would again
like to thank Ruth Beamish, Fred Teaukura, Shaun Hayward and
the very esteemed Steve Vaughan for their many hours, long days
& nights and years of service through the numerous occupied club
positions, thankfully, they are not lost to the movement or our
club and we wish them all well in the pursuit of time with their
whanau, friends and other less stressful activities.

As a volunteer organisation, we are always looking to not only
support our members in and around the club but also in your
business or profession, please take the time to register your
Business and/or Services as we are keen to put together a
membership directory highlighting available services - "I'd rather
my hard earned money supported a member in their
endeavours" rather than a strangers. We are also asking for
Expressions of Interest to join the different Sub committees both
of which are available via the following links:

• The program above is just the beach sessions that the club
organizes. The club swimming sessions are not included on this
program but are still running. Personal or club Swimming
(Glenfield & MISH), Kayaking, Track Sprinting, General running
etc should be done in addition to these sessions if you are a
serious athlete.
• Running is a key part of any program – you should be building
running into your weekly program where possible. The
transition sessions and some other sessions will include running.
• Can I paddle board on Mon / Wed nights if I don’t paddle ski??
Yes of course you can – but the session will be designed for ski
paddlers so you may get left behind for large parts of the session
– bring a watch so you can keep time.
• October 10th – will likely be our last 5km Time Trial for the year
at Lake Pupuke (Weather permitting).
• Mount Monster Registration & Accommodation is your own
responsibility. We will organize for a gear trailer to be towed
down to the Mount for this one.
• Online entries for the various events (that need it) will come out
via the FB page and maybe email

Since the AGM we have a new Director of Sport for the club –
Marcus Forbes has kindly put his hand up to lead the sport
program.
As with previous years, Marcus needs the support of a large
number of people to make the season work and give our team
the best chance of reaching their goals (whatever those goals
may be). When the time comes to put your hand up to help out,
please get involved, even if it’s just taking ownership of the tents.

JUNIORS REPORT
Hi team
The weather is getting warmer, the days longer and the
excitement is building for the 550+ juniors who will be hitting the
beach for the first MBSLSC club day on 1 November. Behind the
scene a group of volunteers have been working to prepare the
club for the season ahead and I would like to thank everyone
that has put their hand up to help for the coming season. For
those parents who would still like to get involved this season we
still have plenty of opportunity for you to join in the fun. Please
get in touch with me if you would like to join the team of helpers
that make the club such a great place to be.
I would like to extend a huge welcome to all our new members
to the club. We are excited to have you on board and hope that
you will be rewarded with a season of fun and great
times. Please take a read of the Junior handbook which contains
some valuable information about the club and how things run.

POOL CHAMPS REPORT
Like plenty of other sports, Covid-19 did its best to derail our
winter pool season.
After an impressive start and a huge number of swimmers
coming along, the impact of lockdowns and restricted numbers
took its toll on our squad’s ability to train.
Add in some additional requirements from the Hamilton City
Council and it was starting to look like we might pack the swim
gear away without any pool competition at all.
But Bay of Dreamers are a resilient lot and with a small crew of
juniors, seniors and masters, Mairangi Bay finished fourth overall
for the 2020 Pool Rescue Nationals.
Before we talk about results, a huge thanks has to go to our
master coach, Jason. For those who don’t know, Jase is one of
the most accomplished coaches in New Zealand - he spends
hours of his own time passing on his years of experience and
always does it with a smile on his face.

Hamilton definitely posed challenges, but there were loads of
impressive performances with multiple national titles won.
Highlights of the three days of competition included two of our
younger athletes, Michaela Pocock and Jackson Hamilton,
swimming up in the open category for relays and walking away
with national titles.
Zoe Crawford dominated the pool and showed her class swimming
up into the under-19 ladies age group and walking away with the
super lifesaver title.
Sam Mayhew, swimming across the open and masters age groups,
took home a number of titles in both.
The moment of the weekend for me though, was the look on
Bryden Storey’s face after he and Lucas won their heat in the tube
rescue. •Junior Results - Full race times

POOL CHAMPS REPORT
And that’s what this season has all been about, having fun and
reaping the rewards from hard work.
Behind the scenes loads of work has gone in to make it easy for
all of our athletes to turn up, jump in the pool and swim without
having too many things to worry about. A huge thank you goes to
Leigh Storey and Tony Sands for all the amazing work you do for
the team.
There are loads of others who have made a huge impact on the
team’s success. To the parents who sit for hours on end as
timekeepers, we owe you a lot. The same goes to those who sign
the swimmers in at each training session and the parents who
bring their kids to the pool every Sunday for training.
Finally, to all the swimmers who swam through the season,
thanks for being a great bunch of people. It hasn’t been easy but
when we did get into the pool there was loads of camaraderie,
plenty of fun and smiles.
