25.01.2022 VALE LYNN MARTIN It is with heavy hearts that we advise of the passing of Henley Sharks Life Member, Lynn Martin. Lynn passed in the early hours of Thursday morning, at home, following a long battle with cancer. Lynn was a wonderful leader, and made an enormous contribution the Henley Sharks and Water Polo South Australia over almost 50 years, both as a player and an administrator (including many years as the WPSA President). He was recognised as a Life Member of both ...Henley Sharks & Water Polo SA. Our thoughts and prayers are with the whole Martin family, especially his wife, Joanne, and his four sons Daniel, Matthew, Nicholas & Patrick - our friends and fellow Henley Members. Rest easy and in peace, Lynn. You have left a wonderful legacy and mark on Henley and waterpolo in SA.

04.01.2022 UPDATE - SENIOR TRAINING TIME & TRAINING FEES Dear members, We hope everyone is well and safe and are enjoying being back in the pool. It has been great to see most (and new) members in the pool.... Please note we have some important news. Effective Monday 31st August Senior training time will be 6:30pm 7:30pm. (applies to Seniors only) This is because of SAALC’s staff rostering towards their lifeguards and wants everyone out the pool so the centre can have everyone out by 8pm as a result of COVID trading times. Seniors: Monday 6:30pm 7:30pm Juniors: Tuesday 5pm 6pm After further discussions with SAALC, they have agreed to drop the pool entry fee and revert back to our previous fee structure. This is great news as the new COVID fee structure saw Henley receive a 66% fee increase and this was unsustainable. What does this mean to our members? Effective immediately and for the rest of Term 3, members DO NOT need to pay any pool fees as Henley will be paying Term 3 pool hire to encourage as many members back in the pool. (Make sure you take advantage!!) However from Term 4 onwards, we will go back to our previous training fee structure where members are required to pay $60 per term through TeamApp in the ‘Store’ section. All members who are attending training should enter via the main entrance and use their Henley Sharks / SAALC membership card; for which they can swipe this card through the automatic members gates. This means there is no need to go up to the front counter. (For new members, your card will be available at the front counter.) In the event you forget to bring your membership card: You will need to wait in the queue to sign in. You will need to sign the contact tracing document. If you don’t, you won’t be admitted inside SAALC. If you have forgotten your card more than twice, you will need to pay SAALC their casual admittance as a fine. If you have lost your card, you will need to buy a new card ($8). We also ask all members to please respect and follow SAALC’s instructions at all times and that our members are their representing Henley Sharks Water Polo Club. If anyone has any concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to your coach or a committee member who will then investigate. If you haven’t already; a reminder that Henley Sharks has updated our COVID Safety Plan (Version 7 to reflect the COVID Marshal requirements) and we encourage all members (and parents) to please read. Click here or copy and paste the following link: https://drive.google.com//1ZcOTQhHvRodKL5I1HVjOeZ-lB/view We apologise for the constant updates/changes and if this has disrupted any members and families, but the committee are working hard to keep up with the ever evolving situation that constantly changes and are ensuring that the safety of our members (and their families) remain our highest priority. Thank you everyone for your patience and loyalty to the club. Please stay safe. Henley Sharks Committe
