I have been a member of the TAS Jet Sports Boating Club for over 10 years, I was also the President for 3 years.

The last year and a half our club went from 40 members to close to 160 members this year. Our club has now changed the way we do club rides with more safety equipment used and changes to the way we did our tours.

We are very lucky to have a close relationship with Marine and Safety Tasmania. They are always more than keen to help us out.

Today our club was awarded , demonstrated commitment to increasing water safety -powered watercraft. This was awarded to us today by the Tasmanian Water Safety Council at the launch of Water Safety Week.

I am very proud of the club in what we have done in the last 18 months.
