Parent/Carer General Membership

All Nipper Parents/Carers are strongly encouraged to become General Members of Clovelly SLSC for the following reasons:

You can’t assist in activities unless you are registered.
You won’t get as much fun out of Sundays unless you’re helping out.
If you injure yourself at Nippers, you will be covered by insurance.
You will be able to enjoy a refreshing drink on Sundays at the upstairs Tom Caddy Bar.

It is compulsory for at least ONE Parent/Carer to register as a General Member and complete the Member Protection Form, but it’s so much more fun and safer if all Parents/Carers register!
