  APPEAL FOR MEMBERS OLD & NEW   BURSARY SCHEME
  As most will be aware we sadly say a farewell ,momentarily we hope to a number of our senior members as they embark on University life.  Congratulations on your achievements and good luck to each of you. Their departure will leave a massive void in our senior active membership and we need everybody’s help to encourage new members over the winter season.   We extend a warm welcome to anyone wishing to join or rejoin and can offer a range of lifesaving and Lifeguarding awards with no expensive, profit making fees!  Thursday training is looking really good over the winter and includes: Bronze Medallions / NPLQ /
Life Support 3 and much more		   RLSS Poole Lifeguard have for many years assisted its members by making available Bursaries to be used towards meeting the costs of Lifeguard, Lifesaving, First Aid, Rescue Boat courses and qualifications.  The Committee have recently updated the procedure by which club members can apply for financial assistance from the Club.  The amount available for Bursary payments  for 2008 is £500, however there is additional funding available if you are considering working towards RLSS Trainer or Assessor qualifications!!
