AUSTRALIA DAY CELEBRATIONS 26th January
Once again, the Mornington Life Saving Club will be parading down Main Street as part of the Australia Day Parade. We have been voted the best group for a number of years now and would love to keep the tradition continuing.
Below you will find details on where to meet and where to pick up. It is vital that all parents are at the pick up point as soon as possible after the event so that we can move on as quickly as feasible. We can't leave any Nippers waiting.
Our theme for this year will be BUBBLES!! Bring along any of your bubble blowers to create a sea of bubbles as we drive down main street. This will be our BIG SURPRISE, so keep it a secret!!
Please be at the starting point no later than 4.30pm so we can get our boats loaded and ready for the ride.
Bring water bottles, and hats for the kids, and sun screen of course.
After the Parade, the Club Rooms will be open for your use, and a BBQ will be supplied for you to cook up a storm. We can then sit and watch the fireworks in the harbour together.

Marshalling
Marshalling arrangements in Hampden Street are between 4.00 pm and 4.45 pm ready for a prompt 5.00 pm start. All parade vehicles must enter Hampden Street from Wilsons Road. There will be numbers located on the North side of Hampden Street (Alexandra Park side) to indicate where your group should gather. Mornington Life Saving Club is in position 15, immediately after the Mornington Yacht Club and before the Morris Minor Car Club (approximately 10 cars)

Pick Up
Pick Up will only be in Flinders Drive. In the interest of safety and also to keep the parade moving, Mornington Police has instructed that the parade cross The Esplanade into Schnapper Point Drive and then turn left at Flinders Drive and disperse.

Whether you are an existing, or potential new member, we trust that this site will be a valuable source of information to you. Located on Mills Beach, 1km north of the Mornington Pier, the club provides a surf lifesaving patrol service at the beach throughout the summer months. Trained and qualified surf life savers voluntarily run the program as dedicated members of the club.

Mornington Life Saving Club is an integral part of the local community providing a safe beach environment, water safety and surf life saver training. Water Safety is the main focus of MLSC and through our Nipper training program we provide a fun and competitive environment for all our younger members to learn about water safety.

The club’s youth group provides a controlled social outlet for teenagers wanting to further their fitness, life saving abilities and competition skills. MLSC also has a very strong and competitive Boaties group, and the Surf Boats make a very impressive site powering out from the Clubhouse.

Founded in 1914 the club’s success has always and continues to rely on the voluntary spirit of its members to assist in the running of the club and its activities. Affiliated with Life Saving Victoria, MLSC welcomes new members and encourages existing members to keep active and involved.
