MICHAEL BANISTER’S MERITORIOUS AWARDOn Sunday 1st of January 2012 at approximately 7 p.m., Club Member, Michael Banister and his family after parking their car at the southern end of Prince Street, North Cronulla started walking along the Esplanade south towards Cronulla Beach. As they walked, Michael noticed a group of approximately ten people playing on a sand bank close to the shore. Two of this group were further out and had jumped into a large hole not realizing they had jumped into a rip. They managed to drift south with the rip onto an outer bank where they were able to stand.

It was at this stage Michael said to his wife Sue that they were in a dangerous place. Michael and his family continued their walk and made it to the Alley Rock Pool when Michael noticed that two of the group was trying to swim back to the inner bank across the gully that had formed a strong rip. They were not strong swimmers and started to struggle, but they were lucky enough to get back to the outer bank. At this point Michael became concerned about their safety. He decided to return to North Cronulla, while his wife Sue continued on to collect the children who had run ahead to Cronulla.

As Michael started walking back, two of the swimmers attempted to swim back to the inner bank again. They started to struggle as the rip seemed to be stronger. At this stage Michael summed up the situation and formed a plan for rescuing the two. He noticed an old boogie board left at the southern end of the wall about 100 metres from the inner bank. He thought he would use that as his second option. His first option was to get a rescue board and others to help from North Cronulla Surf Club, so he ran there but found it locked, and no one in attendance. The Patrol had left the beach, as it was after Patrol hours. By the time he ran back over the hill next to the lifeguard tower, four members of the group had jumped into the gully to try to help the first two. By now they had also found themselves in difficulties.

Michael then raced to the boogie board and ran across the inner bank ordering the rest of the group back to the beach. He jumped into the rip; the first girl he reached was a non swimmer and was just going under. He struggled with her at first as she was panicking and trying to climb on to him.

They were both swept further out to sea where he got the second person, also a non-swimmer. The next two were able to tread water but were very weak. At this stage Michael had lost sight of another one of the group as he had initially counted six in the group. He then got the stronger of the men to help him kick across to the fifth person who was the one of the two who initially went in. He tried to calm all of them and two were able to help him kick. Now there were five, plus himself, holding the first girl, however, they were all able to hang onto the boogie board. It was then that he saw that the sixth person had made it back to the outer bank. He then had to kick out of the rip and back to the outer bank. After sometime they all got onto the outer bank where they could stand in knee deep water.

Michael then looked for the sixth man who he thought had made it back to the beach, but he again had been caught in the rip and was much further out than what the first five had been. Michael told the five to stand together on the outer bank, and not to move until he got back. He used the rip and boogie board again. The man was now a long way out and he lost sight of him on two occasions. When Michael finally reached the this person, the patient was very weak and unable to hang on, so Michael used the board rescue technique to get him back to the outer bank, where the other five had remained as instructed. This took some time to negotiate the heavy swell. Michael then ferried the six back from the outer bank individually though the rip to the beach.

Michael Banister’s extraordinary effort showed a tremendous awareness of the situation at hand, and he displayed an outstanding amount of skill and courage. Michael’s actions were described by an independent eye witness who said,

”Michael repeatedly placed his own life in danger in this heroic rescue, and without his efforts, six persons would have undoubtedly drowned that day”.

Michael’s history within the Club goes back a long way from when he joined the senior Club in 1981, following a long career in the Crays. He was born in 1967, being the second son of Peter and Moira Banister, who were Cronulla Club stalwarts from the early fifties. Peter, a distinguished surf lifesaver was later to become a Life Member of our Club, and Moira was a member of the Auxiliary Committee for many years.

Michael has had a long and excellent record within the Club, being a competent competitor and a dedicated surf lifesaver. He was a popular Patrol Captain for six years. He has served the Club well as an administrator, as he’s been a member of the Management Committee for seven years. Before gaining admission to NSW Fire and Rescue, which is his present occupation, he was a Life Guard with Sutherland Shire Council for five years, patrolling and working on the beaches of Bate Bay.

All of the above experience no doubt played an important part in Michael’s actions in saving these people from drowning on Sunday the 1st January 2012.

Michael Banister’s actions on this day are a wonderful testament to the extensive training surf lifesavers throughout the world receive. Cronulla SLSC and the Surf Life Saving Association of Australia are justifiably proud of Michael for his untiring effort to save six people from certain drowning.

In recognition of Michael’s heroic rescue, and on the recommendation of our Club, Surf Life Saving Australia decided to award him their second highest award for bravery, the Meritorious Award, Individual Certificate of Merit with Bronze Insert.

Michael Banister is the epitome of what the Cronulla Club perceives to be a model member. He has triumphed as a competitor, he is a competent and dedicated surf lifesaver who is prepared to risk his own life to save others, and he has made a significant contribution to the Club’s administration.

MICHAEL PETER BANISTER, CRONULLA SURF LIFE SAVING CLUB SALUTES YOU.

PATRONS MESSAGEFellow members, I am once again proud to announce that our Patrols have maintained our tradition of ensuring that no lives were lost while they were on duty in the season just passed. I am most grateful for their diligence in ensuring that Cronulla Beach continues to be the safe place that it is. Whilst on Life Saving matters, I am pleased to announce that, finally, Surf Life Saving Australia decided to award Michael Banister its second highest award for bravery, the Meritorious Award with Bronze Insert. Our Club is extremely proud of Michael and I commend you to read the full account of his brave rescue elsewhere in this report.

During the season just passed I was saddened to learn that a number of our top athletes decided to leave our Club and to compete for other Surf Life Saving Clubs. This is of great disappointment to me and I’m hopeful that our current administrators are addressing this worrying problem. This is a sad reflection of the present day attitude by some competitors where dollars mean more to them than loyalty to their Club.

I was on hand to witness our gallant competitors give their very best at the State and Australian Championships. I was most impressed by the efforts given by all our athletes and our officials to ensure that they did their very best for the Club. It was very inspiring.

I want to congratulate the Executive Officers of our Club for the efficient way in which they have served the Club during the past twelve months. Some hard decisions had to be made and I am confident they made the best decisions for our Club. President, Rob Short continues to give his all to see we are the best at what we do, thanks Rob.

As my tenure as Patron of our Club draws to a conclusion at the coming AGM, I want to thank you, the Members, for helping to make my time in that position so rewarding. Being Patron of this fine Club has been the highlight of my long career in the Club. I look back on the past five and a half years with considerable pride at what has been achieved during that time. Those many achievements are too numerous to mention but one highlight I can’t over look was last year when the Club decided to name a surf boat after me. The day of its launching will long live in my memory as one of the proudest days of my life. I say a profound thank you for this wonderful honour.

My standing down as Patron doesn’t mean that this is the last you will see of me. I will be still around the Club, willing to offer advice if asked, and I will still be taking a profound interest in the Club and its Members for the rest of my days.

Please allow me to offer my successor every encouragement in serving our Club as its next Patron. I hope the new Patron gets as much enjoyment out of being the Club’s top official as I have.

Finally, I want to wish Cronulla Surf Life Saving Club the very best fortune in the future.

Barry Ezzy, Patron.

Barry Ezzy, Patron

‘One the proudest days in my life’


SECRETARY’S REPORTOnce again I find myself in this unenviable position as I sit down to put fingertips to keyboard (for the e-minded lot) for this, my fourth Annual Report. It is my hope that it will contain a comprehensive record of events of the past season and from what I’ve read and present to you, I can only say that the contributions from Section Heads and Committee Convenors have done just that and I commend them.

Much has happened during this past season.

There are a few things that come to mind and obviously some that are forgotten.

So I shall take the opportunity to apologise for the latter now.

Council works on the promenade were finally completed just in time for the summer season and after the pain and suffering endured by all, the completion has made the beach precinct a hub of endless and varied activity. The Complex, ‘barefoot on the beach’ and Zimzala are reaping the benefits of the upgrade and really, where else in the world would you rather be than on the promenade at Cronulla Beach?

Perhaps the season didn’t start too well for us competitively. With some competitors making a move for financial gain, others moved for different reasons. Sometimes the old adage ‘the grass is greener on the other side’ is not necessarily the case and perceived changes for the better are not always realised. Historically, the Cronulla Surf Lifesaving Club is renowned for its nurturing and production of some great champions and whilst we acknowledge and accept members’ departures, we are also only too happy to welcome them with open arms should they choose to return.

The introduction of a Director of Coaching is paying dividends and together with the Coaching & Competition Committee, the Club and members are beginning to benefit from the fruits of their labour. The results at the back of this report are a worthy read and considering the age of most competitors, there is no doubt that the direction we are heading is positively onwards and upwards.

Elevation to that of Life Member in any organisation is rarely given. One of the criteria is that the member ‘rendered distinguished service to the Club’. It was at the 106th AGM last year that this was bestowed upon Frank Doran. A long, standing ovation was given, which was testimony to the appreciation offered by all in attendance. A well deserved honour for an outstanding Club member.

The 106th Annual Report had just been ‘put to bed’ when the announcement was made that Club member Nathan Smith had been inducted into the NSW Hall of Fame. Nathan is one of the greatest Ironmen NSW has seen. He created a surf lifesaving milestone in 2005 when he won the NSW Ironman Championship for the fifth consecutive year – six titles in total.

An outstanding year for some Life Members of our Club began with the Australia Day Honours Awards.

For former Ironman champion John Holt it was a most pleasant day. John is regarded as one of Australia’s greatest ironmen and was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for his service to sport, particularly through surf lifesaving, ironman and triathlon competitions and administration.

For Life member Dick Bignold the year was one to remember. During the season Dick was appointed by SLSA to the position of Board Appointed Chair of Sport for a two-year term. This is the highest sport position

within SLSA and it is an outstanding achievement. Dick was also awarded the Surf Life Saving Australia President’s Medal for his most significant and outstanding service to surf lifesaving.

‘Aussies’ at Scarborough Beach WA, saw the elevation to that of Life Member SLSA for Club Life Member Ian Goode. Ian has served on both Surf Sports Boards and Board of Junior Activities across all levels of the organisation and has held roles as Referee, Coach and Team Manager at Club, Branch, State and National levels.

A most successful partnership forged with building development company PAYCE, saw an initial sponsorship of the prestigious Shark Island Swim race for the first year extended for a further four. This will enable the club to plan for the immediate future without any financial concerns.

Coogee Beach on April 27th was the scene of the unveiling of an Anzac Day monument for those fallen lifesavers that made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. There is to be a second stage to the memorial with a wall listing the names of all lifesavers that died serving Australia during war. This is due for completion in time for the Anzac centenary in 2015. Life Member Ken English represented the Club on this most solemn occasion and at present is compiling a list of Cronulla SLSC members to be placed on the memorial.

There are those in the club that go about their business in a somewhat covert way. I don’t mean ‘sneaky’ necessarily, but as quiet achievers. One in particular is the Ski Vice-Captain, Michael Roye. A member for thirteen years, and a former ski champion, Michael has for about the past five years, been taking beginners for the ski discipline every weekend, and I mean every weekend – summer and winter – out of the Gunnamatta Bay shed. The last couple of years have seen these skills exhibited by the competitors in fine form at various carnivals.

Thank you Michael.

Junior March Past Coach, Kiara Metti is another one to go about her work without fuss. Her coaching of the younger

Paul Larssen


members has been outstanding, culminating in a fifth place at the Branch Championships and a sixth at State. Enticing her to coach a senior team might be a little difficult, but it doesn’t mean we can’t stop trying.

It is often taken for granted that ‘things just happen’. Craft, tents and assorted gear just ‘turn up’ at carnivals. Thank you to all, that makes that ‘happen’. The Cronulla container was loaded and dispatched to Scarborough, WA for ‘Aussies’ and then returned – and it just ‘happened’. This same container will now be dispatched to France in September for Rescue 2014. This is a logistical nightmare. Kevin and Sandra Neilson have got it all in hand though. However, it was Scott Rofe who took on the organisation and ‘fit-out’ of the container. He is to be congratulated on a job well done. The planning and fixing of the racking and the overseeing of the loading of all the craft was no easy task and Scott worked tirelessly and unselfishly to achieve this end. Furthermore, it was Scott’s initiatives that lead to the refurbishment of the ‘Kevin Neilson Reel Trailer’ that was used to transport Club reels to venues when and where required. Many thanks Scott.

Whilst on the subject of the container, I would like to take this opportunity to thank club member Mark Jackson from DHL and John Evans (L&M Haulage) for their assistance with freight costs to Perth, WA for the Australian Titles and the storing of the container. Thank you to Mark and John.

This year sees the retirement of our Club Patron, Barry Ezzy. For the past five years, Barry has served the office of Patron in a dignified manner and has been an exemplary statesman whilst representing on behalf of the club. Thank you Ez.

More thanks;

- To all that train, patrol, compete, coach, assist, and support the team that is Cronulla SLSC – Sydney Branch ‘Champion Club of the Year’.

- Jenny Pinker and Robyn Cole - our administration staff. Their work ethic is second to none and they are just simply a pleasure to work with.

- My fellow Executive - together you make up what is a great team and I enjoy being a part of it. Playing alongside the likes of Robert Short, Brad Turner, Richard Pinker and Kieran Day, without exceeding the Salary cap, may be somewhat ‘unique’ but also very rewarding. Thank you.

CLUB CAPTAIN’S REPORTThis season we have once again seen each and every member achieve great things.

In lifesaving our eleven patrols performed in outstanding fashion winning the prestigious Patrol Efficiency competition for the District. This is based on inspections done by the District Supervisor throughout the season. All patrolling members should be very proud. Congratulations to Club Vice-Captain Paul Cavanagh on his fine job this season. Paul has done a great job of administering and managing our patrols. Well done in a time consuming role Paul.

Congratulations to every member on being awarded Champion Club of the year for Sydney Branch for the first time in sixteen years. This honour is the culmination of a lot of great work in all aspects of the club derived from administration, lifesaving and competition.

Thanks to Craig Sims and the Coaching and Competition Committee we have a hugely keen group made up of section heads and our Cadet and Junior Captains. Special thanks to Anthony Lyon as Director of Coaching. You have all done great things. Thanks to Richard Ford for filling the role of Team Manager at the State and Australian championships. This alongside all the things you have done for the club in the coaching and competition space, has made the wheels turn in a smooth way.

As always, big thanks to the Executive Rob, Brad, Richard and Paul. Together we make a great team. It is fantastic to have the many years of experience you guys provide to call on when needed.

Finally to you the members, I hope you have enjoyed Twenty Fourteen. It is you the members that make the Club, and I thank you for your participation.

Yours in surf lifesaving,

Kieran Day - Club Captain

CLUB VICE CAPTAIN’S REPORTTo the Members Cronulla Surf Life Saving Club,

Well this was a role I believe most people never thought I’d be in and to be honest neither did I. But I must say it’s renewed my appreciation of the effort and sacrifices our lifesavers put in to keeping the beaches of Bate Bay safe for the general public. As we’re all aware the whole reason for the formation of our great Club was to patrol Cronulla Beach and ensure the safety of swimmers and surfers alike and it’s with honour and gratitude that I am able to report that once again this season our record of no lives lost whilst our beach has been patrolled remains intact.

As it’s my first season as the Club’s Vice Captain I’d like to take the opportunity to thank John Adamson (our former Vice Captain), Kieran Day, Robert Short and Kerrie Hammell in particular for their support, direction and advice during the season. In addition, I’d also like to make mention of Chris Barber, Daniel Wood for their IRB roles, all the Patrolling Members and their respective Patrol Captains, and finally our Patrol and Water Safety volunteers. Without your help, advice and time we could not have got through such a long and arduous patrol season. Once again, many thanks.

Season 2013/14 was particularly encouraging as far as our Member’s participation in lifesaving activities. We had some excellent results here, and I encourage all members to keep up the interest and momentum and continue to broaden and enhance the clubs lifesaving skills base into next season. Kerrie, Daniel and Jason will report more on this subject in their respective reports.

PATROL OF THE YEARA big thank you must go to those members who were able to achieve their 100% patrol attendances this season (listed below). I know how hard it is in today’s world to find the time to volunteer, but without your dedication to our rosters we’d struggle week to week so once again on behalf of the Club, thank you.

A very special mention must also go to the following two members, Bryan Wild and Daniel Kerr, who achieved their tenth and twelfth consecutive seasons of 100% patrol attendance. This is a fantastic effort and you are both role models for all our Patrolling Members.

It was also unfortunate this season for one of our hardened beach Patrollers, who’s name will remain anonymous, but let’s call him Rob Short, who thought by dressing in full patrol attire whilst skiing in the Canadian alps, that he may achieve his 100%. Obviously he was suffering from altitude sickness. Oops did I say his name? Sorry about that Shorty!

SOME INTERESTING LIFESAVING STATISTICSTwenty five members achieved 100% this season with Patrol 6 being the best patrol with five Members achieving 100%. These were closely followed by patrols 1 & 3 who had four achievers each.

Most Awards gained this season was won by Patrol 7.

Best percentage of Patrol attendance per member was achieved by Patrol 3 closely followed by Patrols 6 then 11.

Most additional hours achieved per patrol was Patrol 3 with Patrol 8 second followed by Patrols 5 and 6.

WATER SAFETY REPORTAnother great season was had by all on the water watching over our Nippers.

I would like to say a huge thank you to all those who helped out especially our regular parents that helped out on a week in and week out basis.

Our responsibilities including the following:

• Sunday morning proficiency swims prior to the commencement of the season;

• Attendance at Sunday nippers on a weekly basis setting up both the board and swim areas 7.30 a.m. to 11.00 a.m.;

• Providing water safety for the Sunday surf races;

• Carnivals at Cronulla, North Cronulla, 4-Way, Branch, Ohana, Wanda Big Board Bounty, South Maroubra and State Age at Umina.

For Nippers to be able to proceed on a week in and week out basis, water safety is paramount! Nippers cannot commence without the dedicated people that perform this job regardless of the different climatic conditions you endure. The biggest reward from this amazing job is the office you are able to be in and the fantastic people you meet - both from our Club and other Clubs up and down the coastline.

This season saw a new sponsor come on board to sponsor the IRB PFD’s; a huge thank you to Scott Williams (Cronulla Senior Member) from Point Graphics, this was a huge contribution to the safety and welfare for our IRB drivers and crew.

I can report this season was completed without any serious injury to any Nippers and that all the children were guaranteed a level of optimum safety, care and compassion. This was only possible because of the mainstream people I would like to thank and acknowledge.

WATER SAFETY TEAM, 2013/14Damien Carlton, Luis Catalan, Greg and Tania Cooper, Jason Crowe, Darryl and Jenny Easton, Mark Huntley, Richard Gluskie, Marcus Kennedy, Andrew Mayfield, Shivaun Street, Keegan Street, Daniel Cole, Angelo Palamidis, Katrina Gaddes, Ian Reiprich, Nathan Robinson, Jo Parker, Bob Sagar, Helena Candiago and Robert Walker - I apologise if I have left anyone out.

UNDER 14 SRCThis season saw our under 14’s continue to have an active role with the junior members - this was shown by the under 14’s both male and female taking age groups to Shark Island and Blackwoods Beach - a big thank you to the under 14’s Age Managers Rodney Dunn, Trina de Haan and Paul King.

TRAINING AND EDUCATIONA huge thanks to the Club’s training and education personnel; our club would not be able to grow without your continued dedication, a special mention to Chris Barber, Daniel Woods, Brian Delgarno, Sam Barlow, Kerrie Hammell and John Mamacan

OUR SPOUSES, PARTNERS AND FRIENDS ON THE BEACHWithout the continued support from our spouses, partners and friends forever keeping a watchful eye on our little ones – we wouldn’t be able to spend the countless hours training and patrolling at carnivals and Sunday nippers.

NOTABLE OTHERSPatrol Captains, Patrol Members, Life Guards, Age Managers, Carlo Villanti and the Crays Executive.

I thank you all for giving me the opportunity to work with so many awesome people this season; it is truly a journey that I will never forget.

IRB CAPTAINS REPORTIt’s been another busy year for the IRB section starting with the annual gear inspection in September. The Club presented five boats and five motors for inspection and all equipment passed with flying colours. Thank you to Chris Barber for helping prepare all of the gear.

Throughout the season we held two IRB Crewperson and one IRB Drivers courses. We finished with a total of 24 new Crewpersons and 10 IRB Drivers. This was the most IRB awards for any club in the Branch and a fantastic effort. Congratulations to all members who their IRB awards during the season and thank you to my Vice Captain Chris Barber for coordinating the training.

Sydney Branch has been cracking down on IRB patrol requirements over the past few seasons and thankfully our hard working IRB drivers and crew have been up to the task. I would like to thank all patrolling IRB drivers and crew for once again doing a great job with “no lives lost”.

The IRB section was involved in providing support to many events during the season. This season we were required to provide water safety to the North Cronulla Carnival, Intercities Championships, Junior Four Way Carnival, Senior Interclub Carnival, Sydney Branch Championships, NSW State Championships and the Australian Championships.

In particular I would like to thank Phill Hamilton, Dave Brukmann, John Adamson, Rob Short and Andrew Mayfield who fulfilled our water safety commitments at the State Championships at Ocean Beach. Once again Cronulla were required to provide water safety for the entire 7 days of competition for the Australian Championships at Scarborough Beach, Western Australia. Thank you to Daryn Metti who with me was on the water every day to ensure that our competitors could compete.

In addition, the IRB section was an integral part of running some of the clubs biggest fund-raising events such as the Cook Community Classic, The Bay Runner paddle event, The Shark Island Swim, Nippers Carnival and the Cronulla Short Course Carnival. Thank you to everyone who put their hand up to help out at these events. Without your assistance these events would not be able to proceed.

I would like to thank our sponsors who this year includes Cronulla RSL who kindly donated funding towards a new outboard engine and Caltex has once again continued to support the IRB section by providing all of our fuel requirements for the season. This ongoing support is much appreciated and allows us to provide IRBs on the water each weekend.

We are always looking for new drivers and crewpersons so if you are interested in becoming involved in the most exciting section of the club please feel free to contact myself or Vice-Captain Chris Barber.

CHIEF TRAINING OFFICER’S REPORTWe began this season with a new Chief Training Officer (CTO), Samantha Barlow, new to Cronulla but very experienced in surf lifesaving. Under her guidance, the SRC squad of 30 and a bronze squad of 10 completed their certificates, before Sam and her family moved away from Cronulla in early December.

Stepping into the Chief Training Officer’s role in early December has been a very steep learning curve and an invigorating challenge. This is my first season as CTO and my first opportunity to formally thank Rob Short and Brian Dalgarno who have mentored me over the last five years and whose experience and guidance have been invaluable many times this season.

Thank you to, Rob Short, Jen Maclachlan, Belle Bruce, Dave Brukmann, Michael Murray, Bryan Wild, Peter Wyer, John Mamacan and Kari Larssen who have rallied and contributed many hours working together to effectively train squads, completing their SRC and Bronze Courses

and assisting the Proficiency Program for all our current Patrolling and active Members.

In addition to instructing Bronze and SRC, thank you to Tony Coffey and Brian Dalgarno for conducting the ARTC and Spinal Courses and proficiencies for these advanced awards.

It is wonderful to see successful candidates for the Bronze Medallion having come together from diverse areas of our Cronulla community, beginning as strangers, moulding into an effective team and emerging as friends. This year many have immediately stepped into Patrols, Water Safety, competition, the Sunday surf races and taken on further courses to enhance their participation in surf lifesaving.

This year was another busy year for Bronze and SRC awards, the numbers being:Surf Rescue Certificate 37Bronze Medallion 51Gold Medallion 1ARTC 17Spinal Management 7Beach Management 27Congratulations to Daniel Wood and Chris Barber on achieving their Assessor Awards and for Chris in receiving his Trainer Award in the IRB section. Thank you to both Daniel and Chris for scheduling, administrating and training new Drivers and Crewmen for the IRB Team particularly the teams conducted on the beach in the winter when our Patrols are in hibernation. This year they achieved a great result in training the following crewmen and drivers:IRB Crewman 24IRB Driver 10Thank you to Jenny Pinker, Robyn Cole and Jen Maclachlan in the office, who patiently answered my endless questions, produced all our instruction manuals, and managed Branch enquiries, SMS and email messaging, registrations, report processing and followed up on a mountain of paperwork.

In conclusion, it takes a huge team effort to achieve such a great result in training, not to mention the Club members who willingly helped out with water safety whenever required and assisted in group training activities. I look forward to another busy year with new trainers to complement our experienced team.

CRAY’S CHAIRMAN’S REPORT Another season over, the 2013/14 season saw 580 nippers enjoying their Sunday mornings at one of the best places in the world, Cronulla Beach. This season we had sun, wind, rain and challenging surf, and l am only too happy to report that all the kids made it through with no major injuries.

I would like to recognise and thank all the Age Managers and their Assistants particularly the “new” Age Managers that started in the under 6’s. We had Chiara, Cherish and Natasha all come back from their Nipper days and take the role as Age Managers for the under 6 girls and they did a fantastic job. Also for the boys, Bluey and Kristie, these boys are so lucky to have these two look after them. Also, thank you to all the Age Managers for giving up their mornings and help look after their groups.

We also have the Water Safety team to thank. Without them there are no water activities. With the beach set up, John Mark needs to be congratulated on getting the sprint track up, and those new parents who helped. Melissa for controlling the purchase and sale of all the apparel for the season including the new uniforms for State and for her “fire” sales - a great job.

On the Carnival side, we had the Frank Doran Carnival held at Cronulla. We had to compete with the Sydney Water Carnival and l am happy to say that the roll up from all was very pleasing. I am also happy to say that we won back the Frank Doran Cup. We had the 4 Way, this time held a up at Wanda and Elouera. Then the South Maroubra Carnival before Christmas. We began the New Year with the North Cronulla Ironperson, the Elouera Carnival, and then Branch at Maroubra followed by State at Umina. Again, on the Friday we were “blessed“ with the same conditions as last year, rain ,wind, then rain again, it seemed like ground hog day. Thankfully the Saturday and Sunday conditions improved for all. Thank you to all those that helped being Officials and those that did the Water Safety at the Carnivals. Without these people, we would not be able to participate.

Thank you to all the parents who give up their weekends to drag their kids out of bed early in the morning and bring them along, rain, hail or shine.

Thank you also goes to all those that helped with training. Robert Walker, the Coaching Coordinator, Dave Came, in the swimming and Ray Masters and Mark Redrup on the beach. Also to those that helped with Water Safety. We had the senior kids helping us, Daniel Cole, Kyle Druery, Jack de Haan and Jack Ford - great

work guys!!! Also, a special mention to Kiara Metti for her work in the March Past Team.

The work from Cameron and Lauren with the “Black Caps“ is just inspiring to all. To see these kids come down on Sunday mornings and have the best of fun is what it’s all about. For me, this is the icing on the cake. When Cameron came to me two years ago and discussed the program l helped him 110% and regard this as the most important program l have ever been involved in.

I would like to thank the sponsors who have helped the Cray’s during the 2013/14 season. Frank Doran Financial Services who has sponsored the Frank Doran Carnival, Tradies at Gymea for their financial assistance for the Black Caps, Lions Club Cronulla for equipment, Chanel 7 for the State uniforms, Age Manager shirts and rash vests, Wing wetsuits for the PFD’s for water safety, Point Graphics, Cronulla Ice Creamery and Neil Swane

This season the under 14’s leave us. This year all the under 14’s did their SRC as a Nipper activity doing the theory on the Sunday, did the snow-cones and then spent time at the end of Nippers doing the water work often finishing after 1.00pm. They then backed up Thursday nights at 7.00 p.m. till 8.30 p.m. To see this group do their SRC together was fantastic. Besides the Garie camp at the beginning of the season, the SRC as a group was a huge success. To our Club Captains, Mary Orfanos and Issac Longmuir, well done the both of you!!!!!

Finally, to the engine room: the Executive and their Assistants, l would like to thank you all for your help in making this a successful season. To Daryn Metti doing the registrar’s job. Not easy collating results, attendances, encouragement and 100% awards then having to chase up Age Managers for not putting the folder in on time. To Steve Street who came in when we needed him and the sponsorship side went well. To Robert Walker, a fantastic job in trying to organise the training and the lifesaving jobs, making sure all the kids

received their awards. And thank you to Paul King for coming in at the beginning of the surf season and taking over the role as Secretary.

For those staying in the Crays, l wish you all the success in any future endeavours. To the parents and supporters, thank you for your efforts and support. I have enjoyed my involvement in the Crays for the last fourteen years. It’s been a fantastic ride on one of the best waves l’ve ever ridden but now is the time to say good bye and thank you.

I’m going “surfin”, see you out there.

Carlo Villanti - Chairman Cronulla SLSC

CRAYS SECRETARY’S REPORTI am not sure where or how I begin to describe this year. Like every year it has had its highs and lows and plenty of surprises and challenges. I was only expecting to guide the U/14’s Girls through their last year of Crays and ensure that they all achieved there Surf Rescue Certificate and sell as many snow cones as possible.

Early in the season I was asked to take on the role of Secretary and become a part of the Executive for the first time in my 11-year surf life saving/Crays career. The role has been challenging, rewarding and provided me with so much more insight to what’s required to run a club of Cronulla’s size and hopefully on how we can improve the running of this great Club.

I would like to thank the following people for their efforts this year: -

Carlo Villanti who took on the challenge of Chairman as well as Official Referee at most carnivals whilst juggling his commitments of his own business, weekend patrols and managing the function rooms of the Club. A massive amount of work for one person.

The 1st SRC group for the season - put through by Samantha Barlow, Belinda Bruce, Tony Coffey and Kerrie Hammell


Steve Street who is our Deputy Chairman who is always willing to help and brings a high level of integrity to everything in which he is involved;

Phil & Michele Cole were in the capacity of Treasurer and Assistant Treasurer and always maintained impeccable records and provided much assistance to me;

Daryn Metti as Registrar has a difficult and thankless job that requires many hours of work behind the scenes to ensure the records are entered correctly;

Robert “Max” Walker as Coaching Coordinator spent countless hours coaching and ensuring that coaching was available to all of our Crays as well as ensuring the website was maintained;

A big thanks to Melissa Seeley who did a great job with the apparel this year and I believe has already planned next season’s apparel;

Jason Murray was very enthusiastic in his role as water safety coordinator and has encouraged many parents to get involved in the water safety ranks. I believe that with this season under his belt he will continue to improve the level of water safety provided to our Crays;

I would also like to thank Richard Ford and Michael de Haan for their efforts towards improving the coaching structure throughout the Club and the advice they have offered to me;

Brad Turner has also been a person that is willing to assist and has shown great character when needed.

I would also like to mention the depth of character and personnel that are willing to assist the Crays at very short notice and provide invaluable insights to how the club can improve in the future; Paul Cavanagh, Ian Goode, John Clark and Wayne Druery.

A big thank you to Trina de Haan who proved to be a very resilient person despite my and her husband’s late night surf life saving discussions over a vino or two. Also for the job that she did with the presentation night despite being away at a critical time.

Also thanks to Kelly Ford, Tamara Dunn and Steve Pocklington for their fundraising efforts for the U/14’s trip.

Thanks also to Rodney Dunn who did a great job with the U/14 Boys and was always willing to assist with the girls and would not waiver when pressured to ensure that the right outcomes were achieved.

Thanks also to all the Age Managers that put in so much time and effort and is the backbone of this Club.

I hope that you all get as much satisfaction as I have over the last 11 years. I hope you also wish me luck as my journey begins again with the U/6 Girls next season.

I am looking forward to seeing you all on the beach and the balcony next year.

Paul King - Secretay, Cronulla

THE 2013/2014 BLACK CAPSThe Black Caps were back on the beach for their second season at Cronulla Surf Life Saving Club. This year saw an increase in numbers to fourteen kids between the ages of 8-12 years, with predominately physical disabilities such as cerebral palsy, take to the beach.

The nature of the group’s disabilities can make participating in mainstream sport very difficult, so this was intended to create an environment which is supportive of their individual needs and one which they are able to compete against others with similar ability to themselves.

Like all of our Crays the Black Caps are competitive and love to win, this group is able to provide a more level playing field, a space in which their disability is not a barrier to them participating in sport.

The returning Black Caps from last season had improved out of sight with the group’s favourite activities being flags, wade and board paddling.

Over the weeks we watched their skills and confidence soar as they began diving for flags, paddling their boards independently and coming together as a team. This year the Black Caps also joined in with other age groups for a number of activities.

The benefits of the Crays program for this group went much further than being on the sand on Sunday mornings. For many, it improved their strength, coordination and balance, all areas in which children with cerebral palsy can have difficulties. It also created an environment for both the children and parents to meet others who are in a similar position to themselves and build these relationships.

As Black Cap leaders we couldn’t be prouder of each and every single member of the group. The determination and eagerness they showed each week was incredible and the improvements we saw each week made every Sunday morning with them worthwhile. The sportsmanship they showed when competing against and with other Crays’ groups was truly inspiring. Each week they showed up with a smile ready to go taking on whatever challenges we threw at them.

Thanks must go to the Black Caps and their parents for another successful season.

Once again if anyone has any interest in this area and would like to be involved helping and running the group we would love to hear from you. Lastly we would like to thank Cronulla SLSC for supporting another season of the Black Caps.

U14’S NIPPERS CAPTAIN - ISAAC LONGMUIRThe 2013/14 Cronulla Cray’s Nipper Season has been a very successful and very enjoyable year. I was fortunate to be elected as the Junior Club Captain and it has been a great experience and an honor to be part of such a prestigious club.

Sunday mornings are always exciting down at Cronulla with all of our nippers participating in events such as board, swim, flags, sprints and relays. None of this could have been possible without the constant support from our Age Managers, Parents and Club Members.

This season I was privileged to be part of the SRC Program, which has taught the Under 14’s valuable life saving skills that will help us for the rest of our lives. It has also brought much confidence to the group and was a fun way to gain the skills of rescue and resuscitation. The teams performed extremely well with the final exams.

For the Under 14’s 2013/2014 marks the end of our competitive Nippers lives as we emerge as fully fledged Life Savers and we now continue into the exciting senior ranks.

I would like to pay tribute and thank the following people for helping us achieve great results and lifetime skills:

Rob Short, Paul Larssen, Wayne Druery, John Mark Tangohau, Carlo Villanti, Richard & Kelly Ford, Michael & Trina de Haan, Rodney & Tamara Dunn and all the Mums & Dads.

Without our dedicated Age Manager, Rodney Dunn we would not have had such an enjoyable time coming through the Nipper ranks. His tireless efforts of keeping us organised, on time and prepared for the next event has been an amazing support and he has done a fantastic job.

Finally and perhaps the most important thing we take away are the memories of great fun times and the lifelong friendships that we have made.

Thank you and see you all next season.

Isaac

U14’S NIPPERS CAPTAIN - MARY ORFANOSHi all, my name is Mary Orfanos and I was the girls Cronulla Cray’s Club Captain for the past season.

For the U14’s this is our final season as Nippers and there has never been a dull moment. I know that we have all had an amazing time being a part of the Cronulla Crays whether we have been here since U6’s or just joined. This club has given us many opportunities throughout the years. We received our Surf Rescue Certificate, attended patrols, competed in senior and junior carnivals, helped with water safety, sold plenty of snow cones, enjoyed our end of season trip away and most of all, the amazing friendships we have made along the way.

There are many people behind the scenes that should be thanked.

Firstly I would like to say a huge thank you to my amazing age-managers, Trina de Haan, Paul King and Rodney Dunn. These people have been there for us through thick and thin, they encouraged and supported us with anything and everything, so thank you so much. Also a big thank you to Kelly Ford and Tamara Dunn for all the fund-raising you did for our trip away, without you we wouldn’t have gone anywhere. Also to Mick de Haan and Richard Ford for controlling our crazy age group and being there every weekend.

To all you Nippers who have more years left at Cronulla, always do your best, learn as much as you can about surf life saving and safety in the surf but most importantly, enjoy spending time with your friends at Nippers.

Sunday mornings at the beach always hold fantastic memories for me, as I’m sure they for the rest of you.

Thank you for the privilege of being your Nipper Club Captain for this season, I have really enjoyed it.

See you on the beach,

Mary

CADET CAPTAIN’S REPORT 2014 has been a good year for Cronulla Cadets and my first year in this roll.

We started the year with the inaugural Garie patrol weekend and it was great to see all the kids get on together so well. This was a great chance for the U/14’s to get to know the older members of the club and I would like to thank those senior competitors who took the trouble to come down and say hello.

The opportunity for the kids to get together without mobile reception, TV’s or electronic games and help Garie surf club complete their patrols is a great initiative and one I would like to see continued.

We had plenty of skateboarding, surfing, buggy riding, bush and coast walking and some rock jumping, where even the beachies got their feet wet.

Next we had most of the 14’s complete their SRC and some of the 15’s achieve their Bronze Medallions. Patrols got under way and all qualified cadets were assigned and commenced our seasons patrols. Some even managed to jag the winning patrol qualifying for the end of year Ski trip.

On the competition front we had the Sydney Water series start early with some strong performances from all cadets both on the beach and in the water. In fact cadets led the club in attendance and results which is a good sign for the future of Cronulla SLSC. I will leave competition results for the individual sections but was very proud of the team spirit and camaraderie displayed throughout the season

After Christmas we got into the business end of the competition with the Branch and State titles. This is where the winter and early season preparation comes to the fore with longer carnivals and multiple rounds through to finals. Once again all the cadets including

many of the u/14s who competed showed the true Cronulla spirit.

Cronulla only sent a small team to the Australian Championships but once again the Cadets featured strongly in attendance and results. The main thing for me was seeing these kids moving from the nippers into the senior competition arena and the beginnings of some long term friendships.

It was a pleasure to assist the kids this year and I hope they had an enjoyable season patrolling and competing for Cronulla. Looking at the way the

club is going I believe Cronulla is well positioned to assist all its members achieve their full potential in the lifesaving movement and look forward to the season ahead.

Richard Ford - Cadet Captain

JUNIOR CAPTAIN’S REPORT What a great season of competition, camaraderie and fun.

The girls were committed to attending carnivals and worked off each other in the team events. When you have swimmers like Emma Southwell, you name it she can do it Carla Papac, Emma Lisser and Maddie Vitnell pushing each other on the ski’s and Lauren Rofe helping out teams it made for a good year.

I won’t go through results but a sidenote was watching the Shark Island swim and the hard fought battle that Emma Southwell had right to the end, coming in second by a run up the beach.

It was also enjoyable to watch Emma Lisser and Maddie step up to ski relays in the open with Danielle and they achieved a medal at State.

There are some strong under 15 girls coming up to the juniors this year which will ensure that the teams and individuals can have team events, be competitive, but most importantly continue the camaraderie and fun.

The junior boys had a strong year. It is amazing that I have been a part of the group since the under 6’s. They do not listen to me as much now.

We had Knox Glenn attend selected carnivals and he is still skilling himself on the ski’s which is a huge learning curve in the surf. Jack Ford has also stepped up in the ski’s which we really appreciate as we can make strong teams but always need a good ski paddler.

The group had a disrupted year with key competitors, Sam Fowler and Nathan Breen out for different parts, but we all got together for State and put together

some very strong teams with Jack de Haan, Jack Ford and also Keegan Street forming the teams.

The boys were all doing their HSC’s which was also a disruption (how dare the education system meddle into surf club activities), but the majority of the boys will be in the 19’s next year, and joining Jack Robbo, Kyle Druery and Daniel Cole, which will add depth in the teams for next year.

Thank you to the parents that help out. It is and has always been a joy to be a part of their surf life, and to see them grow up and have the skill set that surf life saving can offer.

CHIEF GEAR STEWARD’S REPORTGear preparation proceeded very well this year and Gear Inspection Day was a great sunny Cronulla day giving us a chance to present our patrol, water safety and training equipment in a grand fashion.

The IRB display and equipment laid out in the Ballroom, Training Room and Monro Room always looks quite spectacular. If you have not seen it you should drop in on next season’s inspection day and have a look. This year was no exception and the display of equipment passed successfully, ensuring we were ready for another season.

All of Cronulla’s equipment was prepared, repaired, renewed and submitted for the inspection held on Sunday 8th September 2013. The gear submitted included:18 Rescue Boards2 Stretchers36 Rescue TubesPatrol Area & Tent9 RadiosPatrol Uniforms4 Oxy-Viva KitsBoard & Tube Stands2 Patrol First Aid Kits Signal Flags & evacuation (Shark) Flags1 Club First Aid Kit13 Resuscitation Mannequins9 Spinal Collars2 Trainer Defibrillators3 Spinal Boards & Straps5 IRBs2 Defibrillators5 Outboard Motors 4 Suction Equipment Sets7 Trailers

A single inspection team of dedicated Sydney Branch Officials visits all clubs in the Branch over one weekend. Following the inspection we supplied refreshments to the inspection team before they set off for the long trek into the National Park beaches. The following members helped prepare the club gear and premises for the start of the season - Col Haywood, Rob Short Jr., Ken English, Bryan Wild, Brian Dalgarno, Carlo Villanti, Daniel Wood, Mitchell Barber and Chris Barber.

Purchases of replacement equipment this season were high, but not unreasonably so. This is important equipment and well worth the expense. Excluding IRB items, the expenditure this season was a little over $17,000. This was made up of $13,300 Club outlay plus $3,670 of subsidised items. This included board repairs ($1190), radio servicing ($490), oxy-viva and resuscitation manikin servicing ($883), ten new rescue tubes ($1118), three new rescue boards ($4195), one new radio ($699), new training mannikins ($210), resuscitation, spinal management and defibrillator items ($890), first-aid supplies ($720) and miscellaneous expenditure ($530). We also purchased some uniforms and rash shirts ($825) and patrol caps ($1580). Surf Life Saving Australia provided $2335 from the DHL subsidy to purchase most of our patrol uniforms and we were fortunate to receive a further $1335 equipment subsidy from the SLSNSW Equipment Grant

Once again this season, every patrol member was supplied with a reversible Club-Patrol cap as part of their uniform allocation and we managed to find a spray jacket for each newly qualified lifesaver. New Patrol Captains were supplied with a heavy duty SLSA patrol jacket and peaked cap. We also purchased rash shirts for all IRB drivers and crewpersons. We believe that this is very worthwhile support of our patrol members.

This year we had plenty of tents for competition, social and fundraising activities. Col Haywood, who serves as unofficial Radio Officer also gave great support to the management of patrol equipment through the season and his behind

the scenes work has been of enormous help to me and invaluable to the Club. As in the past season, I believe that we have been able to provide Cronulla Surf Life Saving Club with the best possible equipment for patrol, training, competition and community purposes.

See you on the beach at Cronulla – where else would you rather be?

OPERATIONS COMMITTEE REPORTZIMZALA RESTAURANT - THE JEWEL IN THE CROWN

=Zimzala (meaning: sand between your toes) and that’s literally what you experience when you dine at this chic, award winning, beachside restaurant.

Zimzala restaurant is a family owned business which leases the premises from our Club. This great Shire institution reflects on the quality of service and atmosphere pertaining to this beachside gem. It’s the perfect combination of casual and fine dining with a relaxed ocean front setting. Zimzala is a highly sought after venue for get togethers, large events and weddings. Zimzala is very proud that it is the preferred venue for small weddings seating 90 guests. Again the beachside provides photographic opportunities for the happy bride and groom.

Zimzala plays host to exciting dining events throughout the year by hosting wine and beer degustation evenings, it also has themed events each Friday evening; June sees Zimzala showcasing French, July is Christmas in July and August to October is its ever popular Italian evening.

Zimzala also supports two major charities; The Ovarian Cancer Research Fund and the Children’s Charity Starlight Express. It also holds several events throughout the year in support of these two worthwhile charities. Zimzala also support several local primary and secondary schools with gift voucher donations for fundraising as well as many local charity groups.

Ray Nelson and his family from Zimzala appreciate the huge support they receive on a daily basis from so many of our Club Members.

Over the past five years Zimzala has shown steady growth and Ray, his family and staff are looking forward to building the business further.

BARE FOOT ON THE BEACH

This great café has a bright, laid back vibe. With coffee that keeps the locals more than happy, healthy gourmet wraps, fresh juices and daily muffins, it’s easy to see why the café is such a great place to hangout.

On Sundays the place is packed, baristas call out coffee orders over the jiving tropical music and customers sprawl out onto the promenade enjoying the warm sunshine. Every man and woman and their dogs (literally) come down to enjoy the bustling atmosphere. Weekdays are for those who enjoy coffee sipping and sea gazing amidst the chilled out jazz tunes from a salt-encrusted 70s boom box.

Barefoot on the Beach is family run and the staff is always friendly. Come back a few times and they will remember your name and you will probably know theirs. It’s a paradise for locals and definitely worth a visit. Shoes are optional.

This is a family keeping the dream alive and the Club wish Sue and Michael Stiropoulos and family every success and a prosperous future.

CRONULLA SPORTS COMPLEX

This near forty year old building has had major interior works over the past three years at a huge financial cost to the Club. This year, after major works were complete to the overhead windows and surrounds adjacent to the upstairs gym I am happy to report that this was the final stage in the upgrade in a long and costly overdue refurbishment and maintenance program.

Due to the ongoing issues with water leaks and other deterioration to this aged building Sutherland Council

have pledged to put in place a building maintenance program to preserve its future. I am advised this will commence in the next financial year.

During many years of disruptions and pool closures due to ongoing maintenance and refurbishments long term tenant and experts in personal training Cameron and Tracy Hoban along with sub-tenant Mark Simpson swim coach specialist, continue to operate a very successful operation in a highly competitive industry. We wish them every success for a long and prosperous future.

PURCELL ROOM

The function room continues to provide a modern venue with outstanding views of Bate Bay for a place to meet with fellow Club Members and their guests on Friday nights during the summer surf season for drinks and a catch up. Due to the room being used by its Members and Guests on Friday night function room bookings have slowed but still continues to raise good revenue for the club.

All revenue raised from the operations of the above businesses is reflected in the Treasurer’s Report.

HOUSE COMMITTEE REPORTIt is with pleasure that I submit the Annual House Committee Report.

As stated in previous reports it is a challenge to maintain a building that is old and heritage listed and more problems will present as time creeps on. The Committee is keenly anticipating the planned renovation/refurbishment of our historic clubhouse that will cater for our membership in a more appropriate way.

No major issues or installations to report upon this year. Although a lot of energy has gone into maintaining the club for the use of its members. The feedback that we have received has been largely positive and I urge all members to contact the club and let us know if there are ever any issues.

Thanks to our caretaker Micky Fitz,’ the bosses’ Jenny Pinker and Robyn Cole , Michael Banister, Robert P Short, Jeremy Macpherson, Glenn Brown, the council and anyone else I’ve forgotten who has helped out.

It is a pleasure and honour to serve on the House Committee and I hope that all members benefit from the work we’ve been doing. Enjoy the Club, It is yours and WASH YOUR FEET!!!

PHOTO AND TROPHY COMMITTEE REPORT The Photo & Trophy Sub Committee have had a busy season meeting monthly and at times twice a month. The photos on display on the wall leading up to the COJ Monro Memorial Room have been changed regularly with new photos on display.

The Sub Committee is endeavouring to have some of our classic photos from the years 1907 to 1950 professionally framed as we feel that even though many of these photos are in The Cronulla Story we need to have them on display to be seen. We have hung our first two photo frames on the landing leading to the Club Office with three other single photos.

Throughout the year the Sub Committee has organised trophies for the Shark Island Swim, Presentation Night and framed Caps for Sponsors. We have also arranged perma plaques of our Australian Champions for Presentation Night and sports watches for Presentation Night that have all been engraved. We have also organised the Honour and Office Bearers Boards and we are waiting for the Senior and Junior entries to be completed.

Sub Committee Member Ken English, in conjunction with SLSA and the RSL movement is involved in the compilation of names of Cronulla SLSC Members to be included in the Memorial recording ‘’FALLEN LIFESAVERS’’.

One of the issues that we are addressing is the concern over the space for recording results on a number of Honour Boards. ‘’The Barry Regan Championship Board’’ is full and we have four new Champions where we have no room to display these names. We apologise to these Members but at the moment we have recommended that no action be taken to add new Champions to existing boards until future Club building alterations are known.

Frank Fletcher a member from 1960 to 1965, until he moved to Western Australia, has made the Club a clock from Jarrah, Tasyoak and Sheoak timber. Frank brought it to Sydney with him when he came over to play in a Lawn Bowls Championship at Cabramatta. The Clock has now been hung in the Club Office. It was a wonderful thought from a past Member of some fifty years ago.

Michael Banister’s Meritorious Award Certificate and an account of his heroic rescue has been perma plaqued and we will proudly hang it in the Monro Room along side the other Meritorious Award Winners.

Bob Johnson’s collage of photos in the foyer of the Club seem to be very popular, and our thanks to Bob for his great work.

Unfortunately Brian O’Donnell has had to stand down from this Sub Committee due to health problems. Brian has been a dedicated member of this sub committee for many years and was a past convenor.

A big thank you to Jenny and Robyn in the Office for their help throughout the year.

I thank the Photo and Trophy Sub Committee Members; Betty and Keith Suann, Bob Johnson and Ken English for their great help throughout the year.

John Hollingdale - Convenor


REGISTRAR’S REPORTThe Cronulla club welcomes all new members and hope they have an enjoyable and rewarding time with this great club.

The 2013/14 season has seen a decrease in the total number of members in the Club from the 2012/13 season.

At the conclusion of this Annual Report is a detailed list of the total number of members and a breakdown in each category for the 2013/14 season and the previous season. As well, there is a list of the names of members in each category for the 2013/14 season.

Despite a very disappointing increase in the number of members transferring out of the Club there has been an encouraging increase in the number of active Members. However, there has been a drop in the number of Cadets and Junior activity members.

Thanks go to the office staff and Management Committee for their assistance with keeping all membership details accurate and up to date.

Wishing all members a rewarding and successful 2014/15 season.

Bruce Maclachlan - Registrar

GOLF REPORTMembers and their guests gathered on the 21 February for another successful golf day at Wooloware Golf Course.

Major sponsors for the ‘Dollars & Sense’ Golf Day were GibsonHowlin Lawyers and Baden Green & Co Accountants.

We gathered at the course at around 10.00 a.m. It always takes time to set up for around 100 golfers so setting up the BBQ and making sure the fun holes are set correctly is an important part of running this great golf day.

Tee off was a shotgun start at 12.15 p.m. with ample refreshments and food available at many of the holes. This year the most popular hole was the 5th where refreshing vodka and oysters were available.

On completion of the golf a presentation dinner was held in the Golf Clubhouse.

This year’s event saw some great golf with the winners off scratch score GibsonHowlin group also winning the handicap score. Thank you to our President Rob Short for being the Master of Ceremonies for this gala event and presenting the trophies. Rob interviewed Baden Green on the challenges of swimming the English Channel. Also in attendance was Richard Ford who, with Baden, was part of the record-breaking relay team that crossed the Channel.

Our golf day is quite a successful fundraiser for the Club with a big thanks to the following sponsors:• GibsonHowlin Lawyers - Matt Howlin and Reg Gibson• Baden Green & Co - Baden Green & Russel Nicholson • Gibson Partners - Ivan Lampret• Highland Properties - Peter Highland• Endeavour Fleet - Pat Bourke • The Gibson Family - John Gibson• SJM Industries - Stephen McKay • John Norman - Safilo • Glen Emery - Emery’s Oysters • Justin Andrews - Oakley

We had a great day and we have mentioned the sponsors, but one of the main reasons that makes it good day is the effort that the workers (Club Members) put in. It just does not happen without them. So, a big thank you to Michael Banister my co convenor, also to Ian Goode, Carlo Villanti, John Adamson, Jim Young, Ross Diver–Tuck, John Bentley, Phill Hamilton, Chris Gough, Richard Pinker, John Hollingdale and Hayden Sawyer. Special mention must be given to Jenny Green, Gail Sawyer and Jenny Pinker for the sign on and setting up the function room.

Cheers

200 CLUB REPORTThe Gibson Howlin Lawyers 200 Club & Christmas Party.

Once again our 200 Club was a huge success, with a new time slot of 12 noon which turned out to be a great idea as more parents and children from the Crays and the senior club came, both with ticket sales and the enjoyment factor for Club Members and their families.

Of course this would not be possible without a dedicated band of ticket sellers and our very generous sponsors.

To the following list of businesses and individuals I, on behalf of the Committee and Club, would like to offer my sincere thanks and gratitude for your kind donations:• Gibson Howlin Laywers• Rydges Cronulla• JD’S Bar & Grill• Northies Hotel• Club Cronulla and Restaurant 41• Miranda Hotel • John Ferros-JDA Hotels• Sutherland United Services Club• Cronulla RSL• Caringbah Bizzos Club• BIO Scientific• Kenny DavidsonTo John Mealey for supplying and cooking the meat, Kim English and the Auxiliary many thanks for the provision and preparation of the food for the afternoon.

Also a big thanks to Kevin & Sandra Neilson for all their assistance on the day.

To the 200 Club Committee consisting of Col Elliot, John Bentley, Carlo Villanti, and Phill Hamilton, thank you for all your support and assistance in making the day the success it was.

Last but not least I would like to thank Jenny Pinker and Robyn Cole in the office and Paul Cavanagh for their work in the preparation of all the ticket sales paperwork prior to and on the day.

Cheers and beers.

SNOW TRIP REPORTWhat a weekend, we arrived at Perisher with no snow in sight and woke on Sunday to find everything white. Regardless of conditions a great time was had by all, especially those who had not seen snow before and were straight into the lessons on Saturday morning.

The weekend would not happen if not for the generosity of Christina Lodge and Cronulla Lodge who make their facilities available at no charge and we are very grateful for that. A huge thank you goes to Steve and Alison at Cronulla Lodge for organising matters at the Perisher end and also to the Sundeck Hotel who prepare dinner for us on Saturday night. The Sundeck was not as yet open to the public, however, they put the Australian World Cup soccer match on the big screen just for our group on Saturday morning and allowed us to stay and watch the rugby after dinner on Saturday evening.

The weekend is available to those members who attain 100% patrol attendance, the winning patrol and the Patrol Person of the Year and I’m sure if you talk to those who went this year they will tell you what a great trip it was.

Look forward to seeing you in Perisher in 2015.

VALE ARTHUR EARNEST STIRLINGArthur Earnest Stirling was born on 15 December 1925 and passed away on 14 August 2013. In his youth, while living in Lakemba, he became a fine Rugby League footballer.

Arthur joined Cronulla Surf Club on 4 February 1945. No time is recorded on his record card for his test swim, however, he qualified for his Bronze Medallion on 20 January 1946. These recorded facts may indicate the primary reason why he eventually became a surf boat rower.

Arthur became one of the most proud and loyal members of Cronulla Surf Life Saving Club, never considering a move to another surf club for any reason. He always fiercely retained his positive views of our Club and of our Members. He was never satisfied with any activity he pursued until it was performed to the very best of his considerable ability.

A plumber by trade, Arthur’s skills in most trades can be seen at the home he built at Oatley. This huge project was completed while he and his beloved wife, Audrey, were living in the downstairs garage which also served as Arthur’s weight lifting gym. This home stands as a legacy to Audrey and their children, Merril (born

1956), Peter (1959) Bradley (1960), and Clayton (1963).

Another passion of Arthur’s in later years was that of breeding racing pigeons but although he raced his pigeons he could never beat them!

As a boat rower, Arthur became a member of Cronulla’s B crew before his tenacity, determination and skill saw him elevated to the A crew under sweep George Challis. After George Challis retired from sweeping, Nick Dixon took charge of the A crew. During this era only two boat events were conducted at Australian and State Championships, the Senior A’s and Junior A’s.

Arthur’s prowess in the bow seat placed his stamp on Cronulla’s crews and because of his short stature he made a detachable extension for his seat so that he could get maximum efficiency from sliding to gain extra power from his legs. He was a member of the crew that won a gold medal in 1953 and a bronze medal the following year at the N.S.W. Championships.

Arthur achieved his ambition in rowing when he rowed bow at the Australian Championships at Bondi in 1957, winning the coveted gold medal.

Despite his fun-loving larrikin streak he never did harm to anyone. Keith Suann has perfectly described Arthur Stirling as “a very special person.”

Brian O’Donnell

VALE JOHN GRIFFITHS

Passed away 9th December, 2012. Aged 78 years.

Life Member SLSA / Life Member SLSWA

John joined Cronulla Surf Club in 1949 and soon became involved in the Boat Section. Our legendary sweep George Challis got together a Junior Boat Crew of Barry Clapham, John Griffiths, Nick Dixon and Roy Barton. In 1951 this crew won the N.S.W. State Junior Surf Boat Championship. They then travelled to Scarborough Beach, W.A. where the crew won both the Australian Junior Surf Boat Race and the Interstate Junior Surf Boat Race.

John played football for St George Rugby Union Club, together with fellow Cronulla Members Terry McClenaughan, Lance Turbet, Ron Boler and Don Buchan.

John later moved to Western Australia to follow work opportunities. He spent the rest of his eventful life in that state becoming heavily involved in Surf Life Saving. As a member of Sorrento Surf Club, he served as a

Committee Delegate, Boat Captain and President.

Whilst in W.A. he also became a member of Trigg Island, Cottesloe and Mullalloo Surf Clubs. He was elected President of Mullalloo Surf Club. He was also appointed to serve on the W.A. Centre Board of Management and went on to become W.A. Director of Competition.

John found time to coach and sweep boat crews at several surf clubs, after first trying his hand at this skill at Cronulla. He put this skill to the test one Christmas Day when a crew was appointed to row a surfboat from Attwell’s Boat Shed in Burraneer Bay, where it was being repaired by Laurie Trim, to Cronulla for use at the next day’s surf carnival. Only three ‘boaties’ turned up for the task: John Griffiths, Brian Henderson and Brian O’Donnell. “Griffo” as the senior member, took charge and allowed the two Brians to row all the way!

Throughout his life, John’s curly hair, deep suntan and beaming smile portrayed his sense of fun and his dedication to Surf Life Saving.

Brian O’Donnell


FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT REPORT – BALI Greetings once again from the Island of the Gods!

Time again for another update on my activities here in Bali…has a year really passed by? The latter half of last year saw me spend my final six months on the Australian Volunteers for International Development program continuing my work with the Indonesia Surf Life Saving Association (Balawista). What started out initially as a one-year placement in October 2010 has extended somewhat as I come up to my fourth year living and working in Bali.

It was a great last few months working with Balawista. I started a third Nipper program, was part of the inaugural Bali Beach Games, supported many lifeguard training programs, saw the opening of several new lifeguard towers in Bali and helped with the coaching of athletes for various competitions.

One of the great highlights and achievements of my time here in Bali has been the introduction of the Nipper programs of which I have been instrumental. Kuta Nippers began its fourth year in April 2014. Lebih Nippers in Gianyar, about an hour east of Kuta, now have a sponsor and are building their own clubhouse, and the newest Nippers in Canggu, just north of Kuta, started in September 2013. With the help of the local Rotary Club and Canggu Surf Community (CSC), Canggu Nippers now run regularly and it is great to see so many smiling faces on the kids of a Sunday morning.

In August 2013 the inaugural Bali Waterman’s Awards night was held. Myself and Made Suparka from Balawista were the only nominees

in two categories for the Nippers program and came away as winners of the General Mentors Award – “for exceptional achievement in mentoring children and young adults in watersports/adventure while encouraging a healthy marine environment”. We were, needless to say, extremely proud of this achievement.

This year has seen a growth in surf life saving in Indonesia with two new clubs forming in Java and a training program being held in Mentawais. The Indonesia National Championships (Baywatch Competition) was held again this year at Pangandaran Beach in West Java. The competition saw some new teams and clubs join in, including Lebih Surf Club from Gianyar, Bali. They (without any influence from me, I might add) have chosen similar

sky blue, black and white colours to Cronulla SLSC and when I suggested to them to wear the Cronulla cap during the competition they did! There were some very proud moments as they came away as victors winning nearly every event.

Continuing on the competition front, there will be two clubs – Badung Balawista and Lebih Surf Club – attending Rescue 2014 the World Surf Life Saving Championships to be held this year in France during September. It will be the first time there have been two clubs competing from Bali in Interclub events.

Once again the year has seen many Cronulla SLSC members visit Bali including Marty & June Hart whose son was married in Bali, along with Warren & Gail Sawyer, Baden & Jenny Green and of course Paul & Carole Larssen; the little brother Carl Larssen dropped by in August; the Elliott family; Dad’s 60th with some Polar Bears on tour including Greg Holland, Glenn Brown, Shrek and the Missile??; the mother Carole visiting in December; the Murray family; Brian & Roz Dalgarno; Phill & Sharyn Hamilton; BamBam & Karla; and Frank & Cathy Doran.

It was great to see so many familiar faces during the year and catching up on the latest news and events from back home. Many of these visitors also acted as ‘mules’, bringing various Cronulla and surf life saving paraphernalia into Bali to be used by the locals. I can’t thank people enough for their generosity and assistance with these items – Brian and his First Aid books and spinal

Emma Larssen & Ketut Adi Arini (‘Water Woman of the Year’ and volunteer Nipper instructor)


board, the Murray’s bringing over ‘Little Anne’ (kindly donated by the Rofes)plus rashies, Mum and Dad with a dozen tubes and of course Frank Doran’s generous donation of 40 brand new pairs of goggles and rashies to be used by our Nippers. Matur Suksema!! These small gestures are helping to give the Balinese, and Indonesia, a boost in swimming and surf life saving. Also thank you to Melissa Seeley and the Cronulla Crays for their donations during the year – some Cronulla Nippers t-shirts, singlets, rashies, shorts and swimmers – most of these have been thankfully received by the kids as they battle it out in Nipper competitions to win these coveted prizes.

After finishing my volunteer placement with Balawista, I was approached by the Canggu Club in Bali to work full-time as their swim program coordinator and coach. This then led to me becoming SPLASH Water Park Manager, overseeing various parts of the newly constructed water park and children’s play area, including training lifeguards, conducting First Aid courses, decking out First Aid rooms and looking after various health and safety issues around the Club. It is quite the change from the local volunteer work I had previously undertaken but is just as rewarding. I still continue to volunteer with Balawista when and where I can and I look forward to watching them grow and develop as lifesaving spreads across the Indonesia archipelago.

Thank you once again to those that have supported me, and Balawista, whilst I have been in Bali. It has been a great experience for me and one that I will always cherish. But alas, I hear the waves on the shores of Cronulla Beach calling… I look forward to seeing you all there one day soon.

Sampai jumpa nanti!

SLSNSW EXCHANGEIn January 2014 I was fortunate enough to be chosen to represent Cronulla in the Surf Life Saving New South Wales (SLSNSW) country exchange program.

In its sixth year, the Country Athlete Exchange program aims to deliver excellent development opportunities for twelve athletes and two coaches by allowing them to experience a different surf club environment. As part of this program the selected group of country and city athletes train with a city or country club squad, compete in a metropolitan or country competition and patrol at a city or country beach. Travelling coaches also have the opportunity to gain experience and knowledge by working with the host club and coach.

I and eight other young leaders from various surf clubs in Sydney took travelled to Byron Bay for four days. In those four days we visited Byron Bay surf club, Ballina surf club, Ballina rescue jet boat service and the Westpac rescue helicopter. In visiting these great surf life saving services, I was able to observe the great things each service was doing in the aim of one day implementing them into our own Club.

I came to realise how lucky we are, and how good our Club really is, however, there is always room for improvement which I believe is the best part. I made some great contacts from clubs such as North Bondi, Coogee, Ocean Beach and Umina.

Overall it was a tremendous experience, one that I was very lucky to be part of. I thank the Club for allowing me to be part of the country exchange program as I hope to use this experience to improve Cronulla SLSC in any way I can.

This year we raised $42,000. These funds will be used towards purchasing vital rescue and resuscitation equipment for the club.

Long standing stalwart of the swim Life Member John Hollingdale signaled his intention to step down after this swim. John has been there from the start. The surf club has been very fortunate to have John’s leadership and wisdom on the Shark Island Committee for all these years.

Ken English - Boat Launch

‘KEN ENGLISH’ 7 NEWS- SURFBOAT LAUNCHA large gathering of distinguished guests, Club Members and friends were present at Cronulla Beach on Sunday 8th December 2013 for the launching of our latest surfboat sponsored by Channel 7 News and named after esteemed Life Member, Ken English.

President Rob Short and Patron Barry Ezzy spoke of Ken’s record and outstanding contribution to the club over his forty-nine years of membership.

Ken has held the office of President, Deputy President, Club Captain and Club Secretary as well as many other positions on Management and sub-Committees over the years and is currently a Vice Patron of the Club.

Ken has also been active within the Surf Life Saving Association having held the position of President, Deputy President and Superintendent of Sydney Branch. He is a Life Member of both Surf Life Saving Sydney and Surf Life Saving NSW.

The gathering then adjourned to the Purcell Room where many stories were retold.

SPECIAL AWARDS

Nathan Smith - NSW Hall of Fame

John Holt - OAM

NATHAN SMITH - NSW HALL OF FAMECronulla SLSC sporting champion Nathan Smith was inducted into the NSW Hall of Champions at a special ceremony at Sydney Olympic Park in July 2013.

At just 32 years of age, Nathan, who has been a member of Cronulla SLSC for 19 years, is deserved of his induction into the NSW Hall of Champions, a worthy recognition of his extraordinary achievements. The ceremony rewards the hard work and sacrifices he has made to fulfil his dreams in surf lifesaving.

Nathan is one of the greatest ironmen NSW has seen. He created a surf lifesaving milestone in 2005 when he won the NSW Ironman Championship for the fifth consecutive year – six titles in total.

As the sole NSW representative in the Australian team at the 2004 World Championships in Italy, Nathan collected a huge haul of medals including five gold, two silver and a bronze medal significantly helping Australia win the World Championships that year.

At the 2005 World Lifesaving Games in Germany, Nathan was the winner in the Open Surf, Board and Board Rescue races. His victories in the Open Surf Race, Open Ski, Board Rescue and Ironman events at the 2006 World Championships in Australia, resulted in the Australian Team being named back to back World Champions.

Nathan was NSW Athlete of the Year in 2004-05.

The Coolangatta Gold is still one scalp he aims to achieve. After five podium finishes, Nathan is continuing that elusive quest and we wish him well.

JOHN HOLT - OAMJohn joined Cronulla SLSC in October 1967 as a sixteen year old and was the first the first of many swimmers who emerged from the Ken Wiles “Surf-Swim Squad” based at the Sans Souci Olympic Pool. As a fourteen year old he was Australia’s number one ranked 800 metre freestyle swimmer.

The determined Holt and his sky blue, black and white Cronulla cap, became synonymous with National and International surf lifesaving success in a dominant decade between 1967 and 1979 which saw him contest 123 ironman races for a remarkable 95 wins, 11 second places and 8 thirds.

Included among those successes was the elusive Australian open ironman title he finally won in the freezing waters of Victoria’s Bancoora Beach in 1977, the first Australian Junior Ironman championship in 1969 and two World crowns, including Australia’s first world championship in 1972 and a second in 1974.

John was also a member of four Australian Surf Life Saving Teams between 1971 and 1975 and the NSW team between 1970 and 1978 when he was named Captain of the team.

He was one of five Australian ironmen named among 23 athletes in the inaugural induction in the SLSA Hall of Fame in 2004.

John was also the foundation President of the Cronulla Triathlon Club.

John is regarded as one of Australia’s greatest ironmen and was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) this year for his service to sport, particularly through surf lifesaving, ironman and triathlon competitions and administration.

This year Ian was elevated to Life Membership of Surf Life Saving Australia for his sustained, distinguished and conspicuous service.

Cronulla SLSC congratulates Ian Goode on his service to all levels of Surf Life Saving and for being awarded SLSA’s highest honour.


COACHING AND COMPETITION COMMITTEEThe C&C Committee is responsible for setting the guidelines and structure of the coaching and competition within our great club. The committee consists of the Coordinator, Club Captain, Section Heads and what the sub-rules refer to as “other appropriate persons” such as representatives from the Youth Development Committee. Meetings were held on the first Monday of most months throughout the season and have continued on since as we continue with our planning for next season.

The Financial Assistance Scheme was modified this year for Athletes, Coaches and Officials; it is broken down into 7 points below.

1. Fund a Director of Coaching. The Coaching and Competition Committee had assigned Anthony Lyon to this position for the 2013/14 and will continue throughout the 2014/15 season. Anthony is a long time competitor and is busy putting together programs and working closely with the selected club coaches to develop our athletes. Anthony has already put together strength and conditioning programs, he has made some changes that you will see in the club gym.

2. Discipline coaches to receive club funding and for the 2013/14 season it was in the form of subsidised travel/accommodation for State and Australian Titles

3. Athletes were supplied a subsidised team uniform (e.g. cap, shirt, shorts, warm top) for $30

4. Subsidised craft, equipment & training subsidies were increased from past years up to a maximum of $30,000

5. Athlete travel & accommodation subsidy was supplied for State and Australian Titles

6. The subsidy for Club Officials will be on the same format as that for competitors.

7. Club payment for repairs to personal craft has been discontinued. The funds previously allocated to this have been diverted to craft and training subsidy. However, consideration will be given to extenuating circumstances.

The requirement for receipt of Craft & Training and State and Australian Travel subsidies is the completion of 30 hours of patrol. Priorities for this season were to increase club moral and consolidate our competitors through our younger members. This year has been about rebuilding our competitive section with the retirement and moving on of so many of our senior competitors. These goals were realised through the tireless efforts of the Section Heads along with the Cadet Captain and Junior Captain.

Our club coaches did a great job throughout the year under the new coaching Director: Bluey Garnsey (board), Anthony Lyon (beach), Kevin Neilson (pool), Garry Allman and David Young (boat), Michael Roye (beginner ski), Mark Simpson and Phill Hamilton (advanced ski) and other helpers.

The State Championships were in early March at Ocean Beach, Umina on the central coast of NSW and we finished a creditable 6th this year.

A big thank you has to go to the Competitors and Officials that made the big journey across to the Australian

DIRECTOR OF COACHING REPORTThe 2013/14 season has certainly been challenging, yet rewarding – both on and off the beach.

This year has been a season focussed on rebuilding. We have developed and implemented a three year plan to return to one of NSW and Australia’s premier competition clubs. The mission for our Club is to provide our Members the resources and programs to maximise the athletic potential at all levels. This is not a focus solely on the open elite competitors. We encourage all our Members at all levels to achieve their goals.

One initiative this year is our annual training camp held in January of the school holidays, incorporating both water and beach sections. As part of this camp, the competitors were asked to write down some short and long term goals. Whilst all the goals can’t be officially repeated, there were some competitors who achieved their stated goals this year. Some of these include:

• U/17 Girls Beach Relay – Gold Medal at Aussies

• Emma Lisser – Medal at State (Silver in U/17 Women’s Taplin)

• Charlie Gluskie – Top 20 in Flags at Aussies (Charlie came 4th!)

It is also interesting to note that well over 50% of the competitors indicated that they want to “eat better”. This is an area that has been identified for improvement in the future, so a big thanks to Katie Pleasance for coming to the camp to talk to our competitors about nutrition. Also, to Paul Maclachlan for his expertise in Belt and Tube Coaching, and to Sharon Vitnell and Kate Rofe for providing food on the day.

I would like to acknowledge the efforts of all our coaches this year; Kev Neilson (swim), Daniel Neilson (surf swim), Mark Simpson (ski), Richard Garnsey (Board), Robert Walker (Iron) Garry Allman (Boat) and Dave Young (Boat). Your tireless efforts, and the quality of your programs, are an invaluable asset to our club. It is great to have you all on board again for next year.

2014/15 should be a big year, with a lot of exciting changes in store. New coaching and competition structures and programs are ready to roll. This season

also sees the introduction of the Australian Youth Championships for the U/14 and U/15 age groups. We have been quietly preparing in the background for these changes. I look forward to seeing you all back into training and proudly representing Cronulla.

Some great challenges lie ahead, and here are just a few:

• U/15 boys & girls in the water;

• Our girls dominating all age groups on the Beach ;

• The Breen brothers in the 2km run;

• U/19 boys in the water;

• Carla Papac & Emma Southwell to back up in the U/17’s in the water;

• The girls taplin teams in all age groups;

• Shivaun Street & Danielle Polson to back it up in the Opens;

• Charlie Gluskie in the flags (not the ski!);

• Mitch Rofe in his first year of Opens;

• Our junior, senior, and hopefully girls boat crews.

I could go on for ages. See you all on the beach.

SWIMMING CAPTAIN’S REPORTAfter a turbulent Spring season, we commenced the Summer season as the start of our rebuilding stage.

Our young competitors showed true determination in all of their carnivals, both boys and girls.

At the Interclub 12 -a-side relay we had nine of last year’s team unavailable or ineligible. I was very proud with the manner in which our competitors took on this challenge. The “never say die” attitude means we can look forward to stronger results in the future.

The NSW Championships at Umina was another difficult carnival because of the conditions and the number of events we participated in. Congratulations to all on their efforts. Our results are well documented in this Report. Highlights include: 2nd place U19 Belt - Mitchell Rofe, 2nd place U17 Rescue tube - Sam Fowler, 2nd place in U19 Female Rescue Tube Rescue, 3rd Open Female Belt - Carla Papac, 4th place U19 Belt Jack Robertson,4th place in both U17 and U15 Swim Teams, 5th Open Female Surf - Emma Southwell, 5th place Over 24 Male Surf - Mark Simpson, 5th place U17 Surf Race - Sam Fowler, 5th place U17 Belt - Jack Ford 5th place Open Female Rescue Tube Rescue and 6th place in Open Swim Teams.The logistics of having Aussies at Perth always meant we would have a small, but strong, team attending.

Shivaun Street and Carla Papac had great swims in their surf races, belt races and tube races in Perth. They teamed up with Lauren Rofe and Olivia Clark for the U/19 Rescue Tube Rescue and pulled out a 6th place in the Australian final.

Shivaun and her team also need to be congratulated on her 3rd place in the Open Female Belt race.

The Bronze medal by the U/15 Surf team of Brad Dawson, Cody Gaddes, Lachlan Vitnell and Tim Ford put a very big smile on everyone’s face.

Mitchell Rofe was very unlucky chasing his third gold in the U/19 belt, with a bad draw in the final.

Once again our presence was felt in the belt arena, with the linesmen and the quality of our equipment. Thanks to all of the linesmen and Chris Gough for their continued dedication to this area of our competition.

Richard Ford has done an outstanding job once again. He has my thanks and admiration for all his hard work and expertise.

Looking forward, it is our organisation and support that will get us back to the pinnacle of competition.

BEACH CAPTAINS REPORTAnother year gone and another year of memorable moments. This season has been one focussed on our youth – both for the beach section and our Club as a whole. We boasted large numbers of under 15 and under 17 Members on the beach which augers well for the future. While our total numbers were smaller than what we have seen in the past, this just gave our young Members the chance to stand up and show how good they are.

What was very pleasing to see on the beach, is that we were able to mix it up with not only our girls, but also some boys in the under 15’s. I hope that this is just the start of something and our contingent of male runners continues to grow from here. The most pleasing thing that I saw this season, was the camaraderie and team spirit displayed throughout our whole team. Everyone – be it runners, parents or coaches, all contributed to our successes supporting each other and working with and for each other.

Throughout the year, we displayed our strength through local carnivals throughout Sydney. We particularly displayed our strength at the Branch Championships and the Interclub. We once again retained the Beach Shield at the Interclub, which is a great reflection of our strength as a beach team. There is also no doubt that we were the premier beach team at the Branch Championships. While this is pleasing, it is disappointing to note the absence of depth in beach sprinting ranks throughout Sydney Branch. Numbers were very low and the competition in many events was not evident. This appears to be a growing trend and is concerning if we want to maintain some competitiveness to test ourselves throughout the year. If things don’t improve, we may need to look at other ways to test ourselves rather than relying on traditional Carnivals.

When we travelled to the Central Coast for the State Championships, hopes were high and our members delivered. As usual, our relay teams excelled, but we were also able to celebrate some magnificent individual results. Daniel Karagiannis finished 5th in

the under 15 men’s beach sprint and 6th in the flags, whilst Charlie Gluskie and Talia Munro just missed a medal, finishing 4th in the under 15 men’s and women’s flags respectively. Kyla King, an under 17 competitor, not only took out the silver medal in the under 17 women’s beach sprint, but also took out the bronze medal in the Open’s – an amazing achievement for someone still so young. Ngaire Hadfield, who performed so well as an under 14 last year, also showed her talent at this year’s Championships, taking out the bronze medal in the under 15 women’s beach sprint and gold in the flags. Well done Ngaire!

All of our relay runners also need to be commended. We had water competitors join beach competitors to field five teams across various relay events. In the under 19 women’s relay, we had a team of Olivia Crawford, Maddie Grant, Emma Southwell and Carla Papac take out 5th place, while the second team of Kyla King, Tiarne Cavanagh, Olivia Clark and Jessie-Rae Trevitt took out the bronze. This achievement is more notable in that these girls are all under 17 and backed up to also take the bronze medal in the under 17 women’s relay, despite a dropped baton. Then there are our under 15 teams. Our boys; Daniel Karagiannis, Charlie Gluskie, Cody Gaddes and Lachlan Vitnell finished in 4th palce, and our girls; Ngaire Hadfield, Talia Munro, Talei Holmes and Jamyka Blattman topped off our relay performance taking out the gold. Well done all.

For those that could, the Aussies had you travelling to the West to experience the sun setting over the sea – and the amazing flags ‘cauldron’. Unfortunately, I was unable to make it across this year, and would like to thank Coach Anthony Lyon and others for supporting the team without me. From what I hear though, everyone enjoyed themselves and performed well.

Individually we saw Charlie Gluskie repeat his performance at State once again finishing just outside the medals with a 4th place in the under 15 men’s flags. Kyla King too repeated her State Championship performances taking out 5th in the flags and the bronze medal in the under 17 sprint. Putting this result in perspective, the two girls that beat Kyla in this race are the two most recent Open women’s sprint champions – certainly in good company. Ngaire once again also reached the medal stage of the under 15 women’s flags and but for a fingertip, nearly

took out the title. But a silver medal at an Australian Championships is nothing to sneeze at, and I’m sure there are only bigger things to come. On the relay front, our gold medal winning under 15 relay team from State backed up with a silver medal. Our under 17 women once again backed up in the under 19 relay with a 4th and streaked away for the gold medal in the under 17 relay. This is back to back Aussie titles for these girls, and a fantastic achievement. Well done to everyone who headed across to the West.

At the Aussies, our Club awards a number of members for their efforts and contributions. One of these awards is to the person who makes the greatest contribution to the Beach Section. One of the stories of the Titles for us, was that our under 15 women’s beach relay team nearly didn’t run. One of our team members was injured, leaving us with three runners. Jamyka Blattman received the call from Sydney, was on a plane to Perth and played a starring role in the silver medal winning team. Without her contribution, this result would not have been possible and it is for this reason she was awarded the Member who gave the greatest contribution to the Beach Section at the Australian Titles. The Club as a whole also provides the Tony Purcell award for the Club Member who provides the greatest contribution to the Club at the Titles. This year, this award also went to a member of the Beach Section. With gold and a bronze medal, plus 4th and 5th places, Kyla King was by far the Club’s most successful competitor at the Aussies and a worthy winner of this award.

And that marks the end of another successful season for the Cronulla Beachies. This year has seen me out of action for much of the season and I must thank Coach Anthony Lyon and all the parents who helped guide the team during the time I was away. With a new job and a growing family, this will be my last year as Beach Captain. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in this job and have loved to see the friendships grow and the successes shared. I have no doubt that the section will continue to grow and succeed. And while I won’t be around all the time, I will keep an eye on your successes and pop down to the beach when I can.

Cheers,

Chris Giles - Beach Captain

BOARD CAPTAIN’S REPORT Thanks to all Board Paddlers from U15 to Masters; we had a great year, with the start of the season kicking off down at the Bay Boat shed in June. We made the most of the great conditions that we had last winter with only six days on the river that had been cancelled due to bad weather. Well done to all that stepped up to the plate in handling the cold and sometimes testing arvos.

We had some hurdles that came up in front of us at the start of the season, but to the great bonding spirit and true grit that you all showed we overcame them as we moved on in a positive way showing our strength at many of the early Carnivals held up and down the coast.

Even with a small but dedicated group we managed to be on most of the final starting lines at all Carnivals that we contested this year from the U15 to Masters. This was pleasing to see. The best thing that I noticed was the amount of events that all Cronulla SLSC competitors were going in at these Carnivals and with board relay team events filled up with Members from the Beach and Swim sections - talk about all-rounder’s having a go, and finishing well in the top ten in the finals.

With the Championship Carnivals such as Branch and Inter-Cities been contested with a strong and determined team, I am saying you all stood up to the plate again showing that the hard work that you had all done was coming together, especially in the U15/U17/U19 girls and boys. You should be so proud of your efforts in all of your events, and the events that you had been asked to go into to make up teams. Some of you moved into older age groups with no hesitation to help out in team races, so again thanks heaps.

With the State Championships at Umina Beach we were at the pointy end of the season, we could say that this was our biggest challenge on the Carnival calendar and you all showed how things can be achieved with hard work and a positive mind, with every competitor making one final or more in their events that they contested; Mark Simmo, Jack Robbo, Mitch Rofe and Carla Papac leading the way and showing the young guns how it is done around the cans. An awesome effort guys and thank you so much for your help with the young guys at all the Carnivals this year as this was repeated at the Aussies in Western Australia.

Finishing the year with a bang, a very big congratulations to Carla Papac for winning the Ron Casaceli Encouragement

Award for Board Paddling. This award comes with a racing board kindly donated by Ron each year so many thanks to you Ron for your ongoing support to the Board team and Cronulla SLSC as this is an awesome award.

So that’s it for another great year with the 2015 season just around the corner. Thank you to all my Board Team for your support this year and all the helpers though out the year at training and at carnivals. This has been one to remember for all the good reasons as I am a very proud coach and member of Cronulla SLSC. See you all on the beach.

Yours Surfing

SKI CAPTAIN’S REPORTAnother Season finished.

The Ski Section is looking like having some serious potential for growth within the Club.

Vice Ski Captain Michael Roye has been doing a great job looking after our beginner ski paddlers every Sunday with the assistance of Richard Ford and Mike Vitnell. We have never had a young group with these numbers as long as I have been in the Club and all the feedback from the training and assistance with this group has been very positive.

At training on Monday and Friday we had between fifteen to twenty paddlers in the middle of the season turning up to the sessions. In previous years the group was stacked with elite paddlers who have since moved on or stopped paddling due to family and work commitments. The exciting thing about this group of paddlers is that the majority of this group are all young paddlers getting started. They seem quite keen. If we can manage to keep this group excited we have potential to fill some age groups and gender categories going forward.

Leading this group at training this season was two of our elite paddlers former Olympian Sasa Vujanic, elite junior competitor Mitch Rofe and emerging elite paddler Daniel Cole. Daniel has some very serious potential as a ski paddler for our Club if he can manage to stay focussed.

Our Open female role model is Danielle Polson leading some of our younger girls including Maddison Vitnell, Emma Lisser and Carla Papac. These girls along with others are still nowhere near their full potential.

I would like to take this opportunity to give a special Thank you to “Filthy” Phil Hamilton. Phil has been Ski

Captain on a number of occasions. Phil’s guidance this year was much needed and appreciated. Phil has been someone I’ve looked up to in the Club since I was a young Nipper. Phil’s input was always so positive.

While I have enjoyed the role of Ski Captain the last season I will be stepping down due to family and work commitments. I will be around the Club and still helping out where I can. I look forward to seeing everyone again next year.

Regards

SURF BOAT CAPTAIN’S REPORTThe season started in a very positive way with the arrival of a new boat the “Ken English”. With continued support of our sponsors, particularly 7 NEWS and the committee we had a full season to get the best out of the craft.

We lost quite a few members this year due to injury, new family additions, and overseas travel. Hopefully many of these will return for the upcoming season.

The Cronulla A crew of Ryan Wood, Brent Trotter, Dean Kempton, Dean Stafford and Dave Young trained very hard over the off-season and competed at the highest level, representing the club at Ocean Thunder and SLSA events including the State and Australian Titles. The crew was in the mix in all racing with very tight results across the line often denying them a place in the finals.

Many more rowers competed in the Reserve boat. With availability of rowers, the crew was not finalised till late January, the crew of Jake Dalley, Adam Orford, Craig Sims, Matt Bruce and Garry Allman competed well making finals with their best result being a 4th at Branch. Matt Wetters and John Cox trained hard all year and helped to keep the crew in the water.

Jake Dalley was again our ‘Most Improved’, skipping the Colts division and going straight to Seniors in the stroke seat from Juniors.

Dean Stafford received the ‘Nick Dixon’ Memorial Boatman’s Trophy for his hard training and dedication this season as well as being a hard working team man for the boat section over a number of years.

We would like to thank the Committee for their support and Richard Pinker in particular for his work in securing the 7 NEWS sponsorship. The boat section is well equipped thanks to this hard work and with training support, this provided our rowers every chance to produce some great results.

The season ahead is promising with rowers in the gym and a squad of first year colts rowing weekends through the winter to be ready for early carnivals. There is a lot more enthusiasm amongst the group with the return to the east coast for the Australian titles.

MASTERS REPORT

FRIDAY MASTERS TRAININGOnce again the Masters Section started off the 2013/2014 season with Friday afternoon training. The same happy faces were there to share the north east swell and often rough conditions. Thanks to my deputies who assisted with training – Scotty Cleary, Mark Redrup, Daryn Metti and Glenn Carter, who all made it a little more interesting from my set programs.

I could name all the regulars who trained each Friday afternoon, but you know who you are!! Training always followed with a few schooies in the bar and beautiful gourmet burgers, prepared by Carole & Paul Larssen. Just ask Luis Catalan how good they are as he usually had three of these whoppers. I hope we can not only get back all the regulars starting this coming October, but also some new faces would be great.

Bluey Garnsey extended an invitation for the Masters to join in his Tuesday and Thursday board sessions. Regulars; Luis, Billy, Big John, Scotty, Wayne, Carolyn and Bryan “56” Hollman mixed it with the young guys. Thanks also to the young group making us feel welcome in these training sessions. And thank you Bluey; I know we all had a hoot and certainly improved our board skills, although in one race my board still finished on the beach before me!

CRONULLA TWILIGHT CARNIVAL17TH ANNUAL TWILIGHT MASTERS

10th January 2014Calm seas and favourable conditions welcomed the 17th Cronulla Masters Carnival. This Carnival was started by Life Member Col Elliott and then was run very successfully by Paul Larssen over the past few years, under his motto... “Let’s Enjoy It While We Can “.

I was certainly very honoured to be the Masters Captain involved in this fantastic event. With great help from so many people, the Carnival was again an absolute success.

Visiting clubs – Bondi, North Bondi, Coogee, Maroubra, Elouera and Fairy Meadow joined many teams from Cronulla for a fun night of competition.

Congratulations to the Winning Team, our own Cronulla team of – Mark Redrup, Kenny Adams, Tristan Howison and Jono Mackenzie – Hicks holding off a very good Maroubra team by a single point.

Special thanks to everyone who assisted in this event, and hope you can all help out again next year. You were all mentioned in my initial Capers report. Thanks again for your awesome help and a very special, special thanks to Ken Davidson for donating the wine.

SYDNEY BRANCH CARNIVALWe had a great team that headed over to Coogee for this year’s Branch Carnival. Fantastic results too, with many medal results. In fact, we had teams in nearly every event representing Cronulla. It was awesome to see the sky blue, black and white caps on the start line in so many races.

Highlights were; mature athletes Phill Hamilton & Johnny Pleasance upstaged their much younger opponents, Daryn Metti & Mark Redrup in the double ski; John Adamson picking up his first ever water medal, with a Bronze in the Taplin Relay and Scott Cleary acknowledging to officials he was actually 4th and not 3rd as called by the Officials in the tube race - great sportsmanship Scotty.

Finally a special thanks to Daz Metti for towing the trailer to Coogee and back.

STATE CARNIVALWe had a fantastic State Carnival at Ocean Beach/Umina, with some really inspiring results.

With a strong team of Masters we had competitors racing in nearly every event both in the water and on the beach. Tristan Howison was in every event on Saturday, an outstanding effort which resulted in Tristan voted by his team mates as the athlete of the carnival. It was also great to Sasa Vujanic compete in his favoured ski events, dominating his final with a Gold Medal. Our seasoned campaigners, Allan Metti and Paul Day, showed their class and competitiveness by picking up a stack of Gold Medals. We even had to get an extra trailer to take back their haul to Cronulla!

All in all, we ended the Carnival with a significant number of Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals. With much less competitors than some of the fancied clubs, Cronulla Masters finished a very credible 12th overall – an unbelievable effort.

Highlights of the Carnival were watching Stuart Braine, Scott Cleary and Tristan Howison make the water events look so easy. Also noted was the fantastic performance on the beach by Tim Tardent in the sprints, relay and flags. The beach team of Timmy, Mark Redrup, Scott Cleary and John Mamacan collected the Bronze medal in the 170 years beach relay. I think this was perhaps John`s first medal, and I would not be surprised if he still has the medal around his neck!! Great team sportsmanship also from Chris Barber electing to drop out of this relay team to give John an event in the carnival. Well done Crispy.

We extended an invitation to share our club tent with our Bate Bay cousins from Elouera and Wanda, with some great laughs and showing our renowned Cronulla Surf Club hospitality. After this successful Carnival and the long trip home in the traffic, Carlo welcomed us home to a few cold ones to celebrate. Thanks to Alllan Metti for towing the trailer to Umina and back. Thanks also to everyone who competed over the weekend, sorry I haven`t mentioned each of you as it is a bit difficult trying

Dave Brukmann


to recall all of the events from the many carnivals this season. Sincere thanks for coming along.

I hope to see you all again in a few months when we hit the rides again!! I hope I did a good job as your Masters Captain, following on from a solid job Paul Larssen passed on to me. I hope you would like me to continue next season and beyond.

See you on the beach

BOARD - same as ski with monthlies:- Mark Redrup, Daryn Metti, Paul Day, Dave Brukmann, Darcy Macpherson (two months) and Johnny Tangohau

Both Darryl and I have had a wonderful time on the beach this season being a bit ‘green’ in the beginning but thanks to all our smiling competitors who were so enthusiastic, energetic and inspirational, we managed to keep our brains unscrambled and our humour in tact.

Thanks to Fern and Col Elliot, after 11 years for handing the surf races to us. It’s ironic that I handed the board race to them quite a few years ago and then they handed all the races back on to us.

We did however have a few daunting and overwhelming days where so many Crays along with many seniors, turned up to ‘have a go’. The word must have got around as to how much fun we were all having and we did appreciate the help of the group leaders, water safety, Patrols and IRB crews. From those hectic days, we managed to secure some of our Crays to compete on a regular basis with the oldies.

Through this small cross interaction on Sundays, we may secure some of the future of our Club by nurturing these kids to join in, be included and have good fun on Sundays. As adult members we love our Club, so to pass that feeling on to our children on a Sunday is surely a small and easy way of retention.

Having introduced on trial other events like Iron Person, Board and Tube Rescues, it became very apparent throughout the season the camaraderie amongst our members. On their own accord, teams were created with both juniors and seniors and new members teamed up with old members. Also families became competitive with fathers, grandfathers, daughters, sons, brothers, sisters, husbands and wives competing.

A big thank you to our sponsor this season - Shane Wilks on behalf of Tefal - who was kind enough to secure a lot of great Tefal frypans for many of our members. Most of our competitors would have won something throughout the season even if it were a free drink and a social chat on the day.

Thanks to Duke for being our Chief raffle drawer with a little help from Tiffany and a couple of other cute young Crays. Sunday races include all ages. Darryl and I look forward to seeing you all next year.

TREASURER’S REPORTI am pleased to again be able to report that the Club has returned a surplus and has improved on its financial position. The surplus for the year was $138,558 which was an improvement on the prior year and in accordance with our budgets. The cash flows generated from the operations totalled $275,007 and these were applied for the payment of property, plant and equipment of $112,112 and an increase in our cash deposits of $162,895 bringing the total cash and short term deposits to $912,994. During the year there were major renovations to the men’s facilities in the Complex and also repairs were carried out to the upstairs area and the boilers in the Complex. This expenditure totalled $72,638.

This year welcomed two new major sponsors on board, being 7 News and Payce to add to our existing long term sponsors. 7 News have supported the nipper section, the boat section and provided substantial support for the Shark Island Swim via their media portals and segments included in their nightly news report both before and after the event. If you have seen the new promotion for 7 News you will notice that our President Rob Short and the “Barry Ezzy” surfboat feature in the promotional video. Payce have become the major sponsor of the Shark Island Swim and have committed to five years of support for the event. The Shark Island Swim was again our major fundraising event for the year and I would like to also mention the Golf Day, the 200 Club and thank the organising committees for their efforts in running these events which provide substantial funding to the Club.

The Club is in a strong financial position for the future and I am confident that the incoming management committee will maintain the diligence that has enabled the Club to get to where it is at present. As always I would ask that everyone takes the time to review the sponsors that are listed in this report and those that have made donations as these funds contribute substantially to the financial position that we are in.

Richard Pinker - Treasurer

PRESIDENT’S ADDENDUMWelcome to the end of another long season for Cronulla Surf Life Saving Club. On first impressions, this looked to be a bit of a mixed season for our Club. However, even a quieter season like this had its high points and it ultimately left us all proud that we are Members of Cronulla Surf Life Saving Club.

Allow me to briefly recount the story of our season.

At our 2013 Annual General Meeting we saw the election of a new Life Member - Francis Patrick Doran. Frank is, as we would expect, a hard working member and is known particularly for his efforts in fund raising and enhancing the image and reputation of our Club. Congratulations Frank.

The accolades for Club Members continued through the season. Life Member, John Holt was conferred with an OAM in the Australia Day Honors List. This was bestowed on John for his lifetime of work in surf sports, triathlon and other sports areas. Life Member, Dick Bignold was awarded the SLSA President’s Medal for his long service to surf sports and in particular as a senior official at National level. Life Member and Vice-Patron, Ian Goode was elevated to Life Membership of SLSA for his lifetime of service to Lifesaving in general including contributions to lifesaving, administration, youth development, women in lifesaving and surf sports. Cronulla can only be proud of these members who have each given a lifetime of commitment and dedication to our movement and to our Club.

The passing of Club members and family and friends of Club Members is always a sad occasion. Fortunately, this season we were only called together for this purpose on a few occasions. However, when we did meet we remembered our lost ones with respect and sympathy but also celebrated their lives and our own fond memories.

Your Management Committee and sub-committee meetings have continued as good forums where, at times, vigorous discussion has been promoted to ensure good and measured decision making. The message I gave at the first Management Committee for the season was much the same as last year. We are all volunteers in our Club and give our valuable time freely. However, we still carry the responsibilities of the positions we accept. So, my message was simple - know your role, do your job and allow others to do theirs. I believe that the Management Committee has operated effectively and the sub-committees have met and delivered on their responsibilities.

There are some significant long term, outstanding matters such as the rejuvenation of the Clubhouse and a range of ongoing operational matters. I believe that we will address all of these by continuing to operate in a deliberate but careful manner.

The season start was again impacted by the final stage of Sutherland Shire Council’s program to resurface the Esplanade at Cronulla Beach. The work through the 2013 winter affected access to the Club and the local area with a particular impact on training and social activities. However, we survived and our thanks again go to SSC Lifeguards and Council Officers for their support during this time. Work finished on the resurfacing just in time for the commencement of the patrol season and we are now enjoying the benefits of the work - a completely rejuvenated Esplanade - a fantastic gathering place and a fantastic focus point for our community.

A few items of internal works were carried out this season. This was primarily repair and maintenance work in the Sports Complex. This allows this building to continue as a source of revenue for the Club and also as a major community asset.

The District Council operated successfully again this season. Cronulla Life Member and Past President, John Bentley continued in the role of District Chairman and handled his role well within a good team of people from all four local clubs. Thank you John.

Surf Life Saving Sydney (Branch) continued in its active fashion. As well as coordinating life saving and competition activities, this season the Branch continues with the task of a redesign of its own management structure. The final solution is close with a trial model for the next year of a Branch Council comprised of the fifteen Branch Club Presidents and four Branch Executive

Richard Pinker


Officers. The Club Management Committee has been kept informed of developments and proposals.

Our lifesaving ran quite well this season. I congratulate our Club Captain, Kieran Day and our Vice-Captain, Paul Cavanagh on a job well done and commend their reports to you. All patrols appeared to run well and kept our beach a safe. The quality of our patrols was recognized when we were presented the District Patrol Efficiency Award. Well done.

In particular, though, we excelled in lifesaving awards, topping the Branch in several awards. Our instruction was coordinated by Chief Instructor, Kerrie Hammel who stepped in mid season when her predecessor, Sam Barlow unfortunately had to resign due to relocation to the north coast. Thank you to both for a season of good squads and high award numbers.

Our competition season started a little flat with the departure of several senior competitors - some for financial reasons and some for other reasons. Once we got going though, things started looking up. Our remaining senior competitors, our coaches and the section leaders quite literally led from the front and our members in the younger age groups, along with the Opens and U19s, rose to the challenge and trained and competed in a way that could only make every Club member proud. We ended up with exceptional results at the major carnivals with a fifth at Branch, sixth at State and a twenty-second at Aussies. And we put in a solid effort to finish third at the Interclub.

The Club Executive, Brad, Paul, Richard, Kieran and myself remains a tight group. As I wrote last year, we work hard together and we play hard together. We do not always all see things the same way but are all willing to listen and give weight to those who have special knowledge and skills and I believe that we usually make the right decisions or give the right guidance.

I believe that our Club administration operates well. Club Deputy President, Brad Turner bring his breadth of experience in dealing with public matters coupled with his forthright and open manner to the very successful management of Club issues. Our Club Secretary, Paul Larssen is efficient, thorough and a tireless worker in the conduct of the Club’s day to day affairs, communications and general administration. Our Club funds are managed in a completely professional manner by Richard Pinker. Club Captain, Kieran Day again committed to high standards of lifesaving and competition and worked to these standards all season. It is a pleasure and a privilege to work with these people.

Our Office staff – our Administrative Coordinator, Jenny Pinker and her good friend and workmate, Robyn Cole - continue to run a very successful operation. One of these ladies is usually the first person that a newcomer to our Club meets and also the most likely person that a regular will discuss matters with or seek assistance from. The whole Club thanks them for their dedication and achievements. They are still assisted from time to time by the individual who drops in and offers the benefits of his knowledge and helps with his labors.

I thank all involved in our fundraising activities but especially those who organise and coordinate them - the same people really as last season. These include Chris Gough (200 Club), Warren Sawyer (Golf Day), Glenn Carter (Shark Island Swim), Kevin and Sandra Neilson (Barbecue), Paul and Carole Larssen (Friday Bar snacks) and any others that I have missed. I must also thank Richard Pinker and Brad Turner for the work they have done in attracting and retaining sponsors such as Payce, Caltex, Coca Cola, Commonwealth Bank, 7 News and all of our other sponsors – large and small.

The “Black Caps” nipper program continued this season. This program is run for children with special needs, mainly children with cerebral palsy and is run by two very quiet achievers. Cronulla members, Cameron and Lauren Pyett have run the program for this group of Cronulla members for two seasons now. These nippers along with their parents meet every second week to participate alongside their several hundred nipper club mates on the beach.

Our youth group continues to flourish supported by a great bunch of older Club Members and parents. They had many great achievements this past season in life saving and competition. These young Members are our “tomorrow” and Club support for them will continue into next season and beyond.

The last major activity for the season was the very successful twenty-sixth Shark Island Swim. We welcomed a new sponsor this year in the Payce Group. I thank them for their support and am sure of a long and mutually beneficial relationship. Once again, we saw a large field of swimmers, a race held in excellent conditions and a lot of happy people leaving the water and attending the post race celebrations. What a great day it was and always is.

An activity that occurred after seasons end warrants a mention. James Young, assisted by Richard Garnsey and Ross Diver-Tuck organised a breakfast for the early morning swimming groups and approximately seventy people attended. These people are all Members of our Club, many active patrol members but some with low profile. James’ intention was to build a stronger relationship with this group and the wider ocean swimming groups. This can only add greater camaraderie and strength to our Club and to our beach front community. Well done.

Finally, one of the things that impressed me in the few weeks after the season finished, was the number of people who wrote notes of thanks for the simple things that we do - and I have had far more positive messages relayed to me directly. These included comments on the subsidy support for competitors at the State and Australian titles, the Shark Island Swim, the swimmers breakfast, the annual patrol ski trip, our Club education and training and the quality of our patrols. We handle many issues within our Club and receive our share of complaints so it was nice to receive these comments - something to make you feel good at the end of the season. Thank you Cronulla. Thank you Friends.

This is a great Club. I look forward to next season when I am sure that I will see you on the beach at Cronulla. Where else would you rather be?

Rob Short, President
