2015 Strategic Plan Update

Work on Hampton 2015, our 5 year strategic planning activity continues apace.

A key part of the review and planning process, consultation with all of you, has been completed. Over 50 responses or contributions were received representing about 1/10th of Club membership. Most people contributed through email responses, the survey or by attending the 2 May 10 Club forum. A number of individuals also contributed through a one on one meeting with a team member. The review team also consulted with key stakeholders (LSV, sponsors etc) seeking their input to the review and reviewed available information and documents (Club constitution, Standard Operating Procedures, Training Packages etc).

The contributions received were valuable and provided a useful insight in to how the Club is viewed by its members.

Overall the Club is viewed as well run but the review has provided insights into plenty of opportunities for us to make our Club even better.

The following are the key themes identified by the review team that will provide a focus for ongoing analysis and the development of a strategy for Hampton 2015:

2009/10 Patrol Roster

Our club uses an online rostering system to make it easy for people to manage their commitments, however it does rely on people advising their patrol captain (or club captain) when they remove themselves from the roster on a particular day!

The roster is Patrol Roster

Patrolling at Hampton

The Hampton Life Saving Club's core function is to patrol the foreshore between the Sandringham Yacht Club and Green Point. We have a small but dedicated team of active lifesavers, and would love to see some new faces down at Hampton patrolling the beach. If you or your friends are interested in becoming a patrolling member, you can read a little bit more about what patrolling is all about here, or you can contact our Club Captain to get some more information about Patrolling.

Don't forget, if you can't get down to a patrol on your rostered day, please arrange a substitute!
