GENERAL INFORMATION
Welcome to the JuniorSurf Division of the Red Beach Surf Life Saving Club. This should be another great season with an emphasis on fun, participation and, most importantly, safety.
The information on this website, taken from the JuniorSurf 'Red Book' has been prepared to provide families with essential information concerning rules of the club, safety procedures, events and club activities, and your responsibilities as members. It also includes contact details of the 2007-08 Committee members who are always happy to answer any questions you may have.
We ask that you take a few minutes to read all the information and familiarise yourself with the way the division is structured. Better still, request a copy of the Red Book and keep it handy for reference throughout the season. For additional information during the season, refer to the notice board by the boat ramp.
Here’s to another great season with the Red Beach Surf Life Saving Club!

Surf Life Saving in New Zealand
Red Beach Surf Life Saving Club is a member of Surf Life Saving Northern Region. Within the Northern Region’s strategic intent are the key goals of:
• Providing New Zealand’s leading aquatic safety service.
• Supporting Surf Life Saving using SURF SPORTS to provide recruitment and retention of members and the development of physical, mental and technical ability of Surf Lifeguards.
For our club, this reflects our commitment to ensuring that New Zealand’s waters are a safe place for people of all abilities to enjoy by firstly, helping train New Zealand youth in safe water practices. Secondly, encouraging our members to continue their involvement with the club into adulthood as life saving guards.
Club Structure
Within our club structure we support two sports – Surf Life Saving and Squash. The Management Committee oversees the running of the club, with separate sub-committees for each separate division. Within the Surf Division we co-ordinate the activities through separate senior and junior divisions, both of which report back to the club’s main Management Committee.
Club Rooms and Facilities
The clubrooms include storage facilities and two squash courts. The squash courts are restricted to use by Squash Club Members ONLY. No children are to use the courts as a play area.
Squash Club membership for individuals and families is available at a reduced membership fee to Red Beach Surf Club members. Contact Nicky Watkins, Red Beach Squash Club.
Surf Club members and their guests are entitled to access the club facilities which include lounge areas, bar, and large screen television (Sky Digital). Watch out for Club nights held during the season – all members welcome.
Hot showers are provided in the changing rooms. However, we request that the changing rooms be kept clean and tidy. Parents, please supervise your children.
