Presidents ReportWhat another fantastic season it has been for the Secret

Harbour Surf Life Saving Club. We are very excited to

have fi nished our 2013/14 season by being awarded at

the recent SLSWA Awards of Excellence with:

Lavan Legal Club of the YearLaerdal Patrolling Club of the YearDHL Lifesaver of the Year: Rob BatesAssessor of the Year: Sharee HartLifeguard of the Year: Daniel Andrew

We commenced the season by receiving the following

awards:

City of Rockingham Sport Stars Awards: Junior Sports Star: Jesika BusseySenior Sports Star: Rob BatesVolunteer Coach: Caroline BatesSecret Harbour SLSC announced as Club of the YearWinner: Secret Harbour SLSC

Australian Drug Foundation’s Good Sports programWestern Australian Good Sports Club of the Year

On behalf of the club I take this opportunity to thank our

members, sponsors, supporters and the local community

for their tireless support and the many volunteer

hours undertaken. These awards are recognition of the

commitment many have given to the club over many

years.

We have been presented with some challenges and have

achieved some great successes along the way.

We have maintained our fatality free record and provided

a very professional service for the public at our local

beach and other events in the community.

One of our early challenges was the unfortunate

resignation of our long serving President Stephen

Bridges. Steve was appointed CEO of a rapidly expanding

company and was fi nding he could spend less and less

time with his beloved Club. Steve and I discussed the

way forward and saw that for Steve to still enjoy being a

member and for the club to maintain stability he would

resign as President and remain a Patrolling Member with

his wife Karen still active in merchandising. This was not

a decision made lightly and we thank Steve for his efforts

during what were at times turbulent periods while he was

at the helm. The Board and I agreed I would immediately

take on the role of President and advertise the Vice

Presidents Position. We were very pleased to welcome

Wendy Malcolm to the Board as Vice President. Wendy

has already brought some very positive and stabilising

qualities to the team.

I am pleased to report we also had three new faces

elected to Board positions, which have provided the

club with a balance of new and not so new members.

This places the club in the perfect position for growth

and succession planning. I would also like to take this

opportunity to thank Stuart Nisbet for his role as Director

of Finance and Administration. Unfortunately due to

work commitments Stuart had to resign in April and Nick

Le Plastrier was invited onto the Board as the Director of

Finance and Administration.

During the season the Board have been reviewing the

club constitution and bylaws and I take this opportunity

to thank Garry Williams for his work in this area. The

Board are also reviewing the strategic plan and will align

this with the State and National plans while maintaining

our own relevance and independence.

Our club has increased in size to some 920 members.

Our new facilities are urgently needed to accommodate

our members and to allow for future growth. Our

Building Upgrade Committee are working hard on

your behalf to achieve the best possible outcome and

timing within project budget constraints and the current

schedule has us occupying the new facilities in the

summer of 2015-16. I take this opportunity to thank Max

Hannah and the Building Upgrade Committee for their

diligence, persistence and enthusiasm on the journey

which has taken about 8 years so far.

Often people ask what motivates me to put time and

effort into Surf Life Saving at our Club, and the other

State and National affi liates. My family has been involved

with Secret Harbour SLSC for over 15 years and we have

enjoyed some wonderful experiences. The main thing

that keeps me involved is seeing people develop within

the organisation. I take this opportunity to share some of

the things I see around the organisation:

• People gaining confi dence and some independence in

the ocean;

• People gaining some confi dence and some

independence in general;

• A nipper (or adult) swimming around the cans for the

fi rst time;

• A adult who can overcome their fear of failure and

attempt a SRC or Bronze Qualifi cation;

• Watching a young nipper develop into being a paid

Lifeguard working for SLSWA or even interstate or

overseas;

• Watching a member becoming a competition offi cial

and attending their fi rst carnival or even eventually

stepping up to referee level;

• Watching our members volunteering and becoming

involved with off beach activities like the BBQ, bar

service, equipment repairs, fi nances, ferrying people to

events, participation in camps to name but a few. The

importance of our off beach activities should never be

discounted. Without them our operational capability

would be compromised;

• See or talking to a member about their fi rst rescue;

• See or talking to someone about handling their initial

and subsequent fi rst aid cases, whether it is a stinger

or a resuscitation;

• Having our members voluntarily join or be invited to

join state committees;

• Having a member join one of the clubs committees or

take on an offi cer role;

• Having a member develop into a trainer and or an

assessor;

• Watching an athlete who has lost the use of their legs

participate and fi nish a surf race;

• Joining a member on their fi rst patrol; and

• If competition is your thing seeing you on the start line

ready to have a go.

As you can see there are many opportunities for you

our members to develop through the organisation if you

wish. It may only have to involve one hour a week. I am

more than happy to discuss development pathways that

may suit or be of interest to you our members.

So as we sign off season 2013/2014 I thank everyone

for their continual support of the club and look forward

to seeing you next year achieving your goals in Surf Life

Saving.

It has been an exciting season for all in the Secret Harbour Surf Life Saving Club. Awards aplenty, this has been a great recognition for the members in our club. I am constantly impressed with the enthusiasm and culture at our club which is something you cannot buy. Our wonderful volunteers deserve a huge vote of thanks and I would particularly like to acknowledge the many hours that go into planning, preparing and delivering day to day operations on the beach, successful carnivals and memorable events. We are lucky to have many great contributors – our sponsors deserve huge accolades in this regard and without their support, achievements such as winning Lavan Legal Club of the Year and Laerdal Patrolling Club of the Year cannot happen – thank you to all.

I have found my own experience in joining to be richly rewarding and very varied. As well as becoming involved in the new draft Constitution, I have spent considerable time looking at the strategic direction of the Club. Our next challenge comes with our exciting new clubhouse building project. As well as the building of this new asset, enormous work must be done to prepare for transitioning to this new environment. Our new clubhouse does not just represent a new and

shiny facility, it represents an opportunity to set Secret Harbour Surf Club up as a vibrant, exciting new hub for our community. In particular, we must see this as a once in a generation opportunity to establish the club as a sustainable business prospect. We must always be striving to build revenue from within our club and make the most of the commercial opportunities the new clubhouse will offer. Use of function facilities, café model and gymnasium are just some of the areas we will be working hard to develop. The fi nancial health of the club is in good shape to take on this venture, the opportunities are exciting and we will be working hard to ensure that our members get the best possible outcome. We will be needing input, feedback and assistance from all of you to deliver an effective operating construct. I look forward to working with you all in this regard.

My thanks to all who have made my fi rst term as Vice President so rewarding. It has been wonderful to become even more involved in our great Club and I look forward to an exciting future for Secret Harbour Surf Life Saving Club.

Club Captain’s ReportWhat a sensational season for SHSLSC with the fi nalisation

of the land for our new club and the building plans being

developed with input from the hard working building up

grade committee and various member committees’. It is

certainly an exciting time for the club heading into the

future with what looks to be a state of the art club house,

for both us and the local community. This year has seen

our membership swell to over 900 people which shows the

level of support and interest there is from the community

towards lifesaving.

This season we were able to increase our patrol groups

from 8 to 10 patrol teams; this was achievable due

to a review of our individual patrols and the ongoing

management of the teams by the Director of Lifesaving,

Rob Bates and his lifesaving committee. The club have

been able to meet all our patrol commitments to an

extremely high standard with no effect on public safety

while maintaining our professionalism, which is a credit to

each and every patrolling member.

The expansion of patrols this season and into the future

would not have been achievable if our lifesavers weren’t

trained to carry out their important job. So we need to

recognise the efforts of the Director of Education, Garry

Hart and his trainers and assessors for the hard work and

commitment they have put into providing the lifesavers

and the local community with the necessary knowledge

and training.

It is not only lifesaving Secrets do well; we also compete at

all levels in the ocean, on the land and in the pool. These

outstanding results cannot be achieved without someone

to provide coordination, guidance and assistance to the

competitors and coaches; this is done by our Director

of Surf Sports Debbie Bird who is supported by a very

capable coaching team covering all disciplines.

And of course we run a very successful youth / nipper

program which provide our younger members valuable

knowledge of the surf and the skills needed to be confi dent

and safe in the ocean. For some they can also compete

and contribute hugely to the clubs success in the overall

carnival results. This is due to the work undertaken by

our Director of Youth Alexis Grayson supported by her

dedicated group of age managers.

This year we have hosted numerous events over the

season; they have included 2 successful boat carnivals,

a state qualifying carnival (yes the one we could not

compete in), Cockburn Crawl and our own club Secret

Harbour Gold and club championships. In addition to

the major events we have also provided water safety for

numerous organisations including the Mandurah Tri, Open

Ocean Swim series and many local school functions just

to name a few. None of this could have been achieved if it

were not for our dedicated members, the support people

have given for these events has provided the club with

badly need funds, so thankyou to all involved.

There is also a lot going on behind the scenes to ensure

we as a club get the funding required to keep our vital

operations going, this never ending task of obtaining

funding support this season has involved the Director

of PR and Sponsorship Carolyn Wilson who has been

instrumental in bringing on board new sponsors and

securing a new vehicle every six months from Rockingham

Holden. Karen Clay has taken on the role of writing and

submitting grant applications to different agencies and

has been successful in securing over 20K so far and Rob

Bates our previous grants offi cer couldn’t help himself and

has also secured signifi cant funding from the Council for

lifesaving over the next 3 years. A great effort by these 3

individuals, but I do realise there are many more people

involved with raising funds around the club by doing things

such as approaching their employers for sponsorship and

donations, doing things in kind and even organising items

for the club to sell, so I would like to thank you all for your

help.

Although the Peel Support Ops are a separate entity to

SHSLSC the team is made up of primarily club members.

The team have provided support for nearly all events

held by the club and can be called upon when needed on

patrol, they are still patrolling the Penguin Island sandbar,

with support from club members, however our club does

receive a large amount of the credit from the public for

the continued patrolling of the sandbar. So I would like to

thank Garry Williams and his team for their efforts at our

beach and for supporting our events.

11

Equipment remains fi rst class, however we have had some

accidental damage occur to the equipment this season,

which is sometimes unavoidable but we all need to ensure

we look after our gear as best we can. If we do damage

equipment please tag it out and report it to the appropriate

person.

It was pleasing to see new club equipment such as the

club IPad for patrols become fully operational towards the

end of the season. There was a vision of how and what we

would use the IPad for but it became a little diffi cult due

to software releases from SLSA not being as advanced as

previously thought, but I am pleased that Stuart Reeves

has taken on the challenge of getting the system fully

operational for next season, he has done a mountain of

work to get it up and running, with some people already

using it via the portal, I look forward to seeing this fully

utilised next season, thanks Stu.

I would like to recognise the WA State Government who

provided a brand new IRB and motor for the club this

season and will provide another brand new CANAM ATV

next season; these items are part of a 3 year initiative that

provides all clubs in WA with an IRB and ATV.

To all those involved with the Aussies this year both

competitors, coaches and managers your commitment to

training and additional work has been outstanding.

Everyone should be proud of the results achieved,

for a small country club Secret Harbour’s name

could clearly be heard across all arenas during the

entire week which highlights the high standard

our club achieves.

As always to allow our athletes to

compete we need the ever

important water safety

and fi rst aiders, some of which was required at short

notice for the Aussies, so thanks to Mark Thomas, Daniel

Andrew, Sarah Wilson, Ian Noorman, Greg Stroot and

Boban Sarich for their efforts in covering the clubs power

craft roster for the event.

So in conclusion I would like to thank all the members for

the support you have provided on the beach or behind

the scenes, we could not grow as a club if it wasn’t for the

efforts of our members.

Life Saving ReportYet another season has passed by for Secret Harbour, our beaches have been kept safe and fatality free due to the commitment of all our patrolling members.

There is no doubt that Secret Harbour beach is popular within our community with an excess of 73,000 visitors during our patrolling season. The weather conditions, with offshore breezes, moderate swells, worked in our favour, with the recorded number of visitors increased this season.

There was a noticeable decrease in fi rst aid treatments, which could be as a result, of fewer stingers in the water this season. Preventable actions increased this season, through the ongoing education of the public and of the quick actions of our patrolling members who are in constant contact with the public while they are visiting the beach, and monitoring the changes in beach conditions.

As result of the great work from our patrolling members rescues this season are down from the previous season.

Behind the scenes, there has been so much achieved, with goals and targets ticked off as the year progressed, including;

• Introduction of 10 rostered patrol teams; • The service agreement re-instated with the City of Rockingham; • Development of youth and new patrolling members into roles of Patrol Captains and Vice captains; • Development of the beach safe IT application; • Management of lifesaving expenditure;• Numerous awards achieved and requalifi cation’s obtained; • Community participation by lifesavers at various community events; and• Introducing an increasing number of SHSLSC patrolling members to Penguin Island in partnership with Peel Support Operations.

The partnership with the City of Rockingham is strong, with the club securing a new three year service agreement, to the value of $10,000 per year for the next 3 years including the current season. This was an excellent result having the agreement re-instated this season, providing SHSLSC lifesaving activities with a welcomed boost to enable the club to continue to invest resources into the Life Saving area.

13

The Life Saving portfolio fi nished the season fi nancially ahead, with a healthy profi t. This was achieved through the management of expenditure, club members participating in water safety events that acted as a fund raising activity for the club, hire of club assets i.e. IRB for water safety and use of club equipment by Surf WA for the life guard service to our beaches provided over the season.

The current board of Directors have agreed to put the profi ts into the future fund for the clubs Life Saving requirement for seasons to come. The club is in a very sound fi nancial position with back up Life Saving Assets not put into service this season.

To further strengthen our Life Saving Resources I would like to thank SLSWA for the gifted IRB and motor, this certainly helps our club maintain rescue ready equipment for the future.

A big thank you to all the patrolling members this season who supported the club with water safety duties, these

events have provided the club the opportunity to increase funding for lifesaving; this season our patrolling members assisted at:

• Mandurah 70.3 triathlon• Swimming WA open water swim at champion Lakes• Swimming WA open water event at Rockingham foreshore• WA Kayak Championships at Champion Lakes• Rockingham Triathlon Club triathlon

Developing our youth membership is something the club should be very proud of, not only did we introduce 4 new Patrol Captains and 4 new Patrol vice captains, the maturity shown by all our leadership group is testament to the proud history of Life Saving here at Secret Harbour Surf Life Saving Club. This season patrolling members agreed to trial and expand to 10 patrol teams, which has worked well, it is pleasing to hear positive feedback from a wide range of the patrolling members.

Through Stuart Reeves, we have pushed ahead with new technology. The perseverance of Stuart to get the SLSA Beach App up and running for our members this year is fantastic. With the help of his team of champions, the beach app will be running for all our members to use next season. Many hours of trialling, ringing the help desk, developing ways around the wireless connectivity, the club can be proud the work that has been achieved once again demonstrates the quality of people we have in our club. Technology is the way of the future and we certainly have made great progress, with the beach app being introduced to training in the last bronze training course.

Due to the nature of the development of the beach safe applications, the club submitted an application for Patrol Club of the year, I am very proud to say Secret Harbour has taken out this award for the 4th consecutive year. What an amazing achievement. This award is a refl ection of the level of professionalism demonstrated by our patrolling members.

By now I am sure most if not all our patrolling membership have heard of about the Challenges of Penguin Island, and the continual great work our club members and with support from the team from the Peel Support Operations group are achieving at Penguin Island. Although the demand has changed with paid life guards picking up the bulk of the season, the club maintained a commitment to fi ll the voids throughout the season. SHSLC Patrolling Members did extremely well in conjunction with the Peel Support Team. This year I believe as a club, we have matured to the next level of experience and professionalism. With the introduction of volunteer patrolling members teaming up with the Peel team as their crew on the Jet skis, to making up patrols on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, members completing patrols outside their allotted patrolling hours have all contributed to this. From a Director of Life Saving, I found this to be a fantastic arrangement, it has lessened the workload, but more importantly it introduced many new patrolling members to the great work we do outside our fl agged area and the impact on an even wider community base. With a greater exposure to more of our membership, the future looks great for not only patrols on our beach but in the wider City of Rockingham.

In closing another successful patrol season there are always many people I would like to thank for their

commitment and support this year; fi rstly the Life Saving Committee: Ian Noorman, Nick McIvor, Luke Stafferton, Danica Bates, Alexis Grayson, Sharee Hart thank you for all for your commitment and tireless efforts on the Lifesaving committee.

Patrols would not run without all our Patrol Captains: Sharee Hart, Grant Stirling, Daniel Andrew, Digby Wilson, Rick Lowe, Megan Williams, Dave Howarth, Danica Bates, Alannah Wilson, Dave Vaughan, and these members were backed up and supported by great bunch of Vice captains: Lee McGovern, Mark Turley, Carolyn Wilson, Steve Bridges, Tim Wilson, Peter Traeger, Mark Dove, Matt Osborne, Ian Phillips. Thank you all.

A special note and congratulations to our top 3 leading Patrol hour members:

• Matthew Tonkin 190.8 hours• Jessica Tonkin 134.5 hours• Liam Bates 114.8 hours

These upcoming patrolling members registered over 100 hours this season, a huge effort and the club applauds you... well done.

In closing, I would just like to thank all the people who have supported me in my fi rst year as Director of lifesaving. There are too many people to mention but they know who they are. I thank those who I approached as sounding boards, drawing on their past experiences, I thank the Board of Management and all our Patrolling Members. Finally thanks Caroline for your patience and support.

I would like to wish the club all the best for our next season, there are big things on the horizon.

We had another record year for club membership, with a

total of 922 members for the 2013/14 season. Needless

to say other portfolios will focus on WA Club of the Year

Award, plus 4th consecutive Patrol Club of the Year.

These club awards are refl ected in this year’s results, with

improved outcomes in the Social and Bar activities of the

club. The efforts of Jo Thodis and Tracey Poad should not

be underestimated.

The fi nancial results were strong, with increased income

from functions, grants and sponsorship combined

however costs also increase as the size of the club grows.

The year ended with a profi t of $75,737 and $282,170

in the bank. Our balance sheet also remains strong and

we are well placed for the future. The combined Building,

Boat & Lifesaving Future Fund is now $118,247.

The audit has concluded on target and has allowed the

fi nancial reports to be presented to the AGM on the 25th

July 2014. We are constantly looking at ways to improve

our systems and thanks to a grant from the City of

Rockingham were able to implement a new version of our

fi nancial accounting software enabling better access and

faster reporting.

The administration of the club is ever increasing. We are

very lucky to have a team of volunteers, without whom the

club would not be able to run as smoothly as it does. They

are Caroline Bates, Barb Sarich, Greg Stroot, Jo Thodis,

Kristen Booth, Sarah Lowe, Megan Anderson, Karen

Bridges, Julie McGovern and Sharon Phillips. Sharon was

recognised for her efforts this year, with her nomination

and fi nal shortlisting for SLSWA Club Administrator of

the year. This recognised her outstanding efforts and the

additional volunteer hours she has invested in the running

of the club. I also wish to thank Stuart Nesbit for his

services to the club as the previous Director of fi nance

and Admin.

As the club continues to grow we need more members

to take an active part in shaping the clubs future by

contributing their time and experience. There are a number

of roles and committee positions available. You will be

donating to an organisation of dedicated volunteers who

provide a unique service to our community.

Building Upgrade Committee ReportThe Building Upgrade Project has now been running

for seven years and it is fair to say the end is in sight.

Membership of the committee is Billy Bevan, Max

Hannah, Wendy Malcolm, Ross Onions, Ron Wade and

Digby Wilson.

The program from here will be as follows.

Until 06/14 Concept design fi nalisation

07/14 – 09/14 Detailed design & documentation

10/14 – 12/14 Tender process & award of

construction contract

01/15 – 12/15 Construction

Early 2016 Project completion

The completion date is earlier than reported in the

2013 Annual Report and is back in line with the

completion date predicted in the Feasibility Study

prepared by Creating Communities in October 2010.

The fi nal concept design no longer requires a staged

construction program. The clubhouse will now be

constructed in one stage followed by demolition of the

existing facility and landscaping of the footprint area.

Secret Harbour Developments Pty LtdIt is pleasing to report the project would not have

proceeded to this point without support from the

developer. The car park land the new clubhouse is to

be built upon is part of a large commercial property

owned by the developer. Part of the commercial

property was previously developed into the Foreshore

Village complex which included Al’s Café and other

retail outlets, along with the two sections of carpark in

front of our existing clubhouse.

Negotiations between the City of Rockingham and the

developer over the past twelve months have resulted in

portion of the commercial property being transferred to

the City’s control. This portion of land will now be used

for the construction of the new clubhouse.

Prior to this property becoming available our existing

land was insuffi cient to construct the size of clubhouse

facility required. This why earlier proposals were for

the clubhouse to consist of two separate buildings

which would have been far less convenient.

We certainly do appreciate the support received

from Secret Harbour Developments Pty Ltd and the

professional work of the City’s staff who negotiated this

excellent outcome.

Technical Reference Group - SubcommitteesAppreciation is extended to those members who

volunteered their time and expertise to one or more

of the eight subcommittees established to support

the project. Valuable input was received from the

subcommittees which has helped to determine the fi nal

design for the project. One particular outcome of this

process worthy of special mention is the requirement

for IT and junior members’ facilities. These facilities

were identifi ed by the subcommittees and have now

been included in the fi nal design, along with numerous

other features that had been initially overlooked by the

architectural design team.

For the record we list the TRG Subcommittees and their

membership.

* Multi-purpose Community Use Facilities

The work of these subcommittees has not yet

concluded. Signifi cant planning will be required to

ensure a smooth transition into the new clubhouse

when completed. It now appears the move will occur

during the 2015/16 surf life saving season so moving

in and getting on with business will be of paramount

importance when the time comes.

Additional Items for AttentionIt is pleasing to note that progress has been made on

those areas listed for extra attention in the 2013 Annual

Report.

Supplementary FundingThe project budget established by the City of

Rockingham will provide the club with a structural

facility that will accommodate our spacial needs

into the future. As was the case with the existing

clubhouse, the club will then be responsible for the

majority of the fi xings and furnishings, for example fl oor

coverings, security requirements, IT equipment, loose

furniture, gear storage facilities, catering and hospitality

equipment, cool room, etc.

Specifi cally for this purpose, the club has for many

years made annual transfers of funds into the Building

Fund. The current balance of this fund is shown in the

fi nancial statements included elsewhere in this Annual

Report. Clearly, this balance is well short of the funds

that will be required to completely fi t out and furnish

the clubhouse to the standard and level required.

At every opportunity, the club will lodge applications

for special purpose funding. For example, an

application was recently lodged with the Rotary Club

of Rockingham for additional IT equipment.

To further compliment this, Vice President Wendy

Malcolm has joined the Building Upgrade Committee

to further pursue supplementary funding avenues.

We welcome Wendy’s appointment and look forward

to positive outcomes.

Governance ModelIt is pleasing to note the Board has established

a Constitution & By-Laws Committee to review

our current governance structure and make

recommendations for amendment. A couple of

structural options are under consideration by

the committee and we look forward to a positive

conclusion to this process.

Strategic PlanIt is also pleasing to note that progress has been

made on this vitally important requirement for the

future of the club. As noted in the 2013 Annual

Report, the time frame for the existing strategic plan

has well any truly expired and it is time to put a new

plan in place.

It has been reported that a consultant has been

engaged to guide the club through this process and

the Board is to be highly commended for this positive

development.

Again we extend appreciation and congratulations

to all members who have to date contributed to this

project and to its ultimate success. The past year

has also seen solid ongoing support from Councillor

Chris Elliott and a number of City of Rockingham staff

who are providing essential expertise and input to the

project.

SHAKE-A-TIN (Street appeal)A big thank you to the amazing team of collectors on the

day; you all did a fantastic job raising just over $3,886, an

increase from last year. My goal is to increase this each

year with the assistance of our members.

Thank you to Secret Harbour, Centro Warnbro and Waikiki

you to all the schools and businesses that participated.

CARNIVALS and FUNDRAISINGSecret Harbour hosted 2 boat carnivals and the Junior state

successful for both competitors and raising funds for the

club. Thank you to all those for staffi ng the BBQs.

GO FOR CUPAnother successful day is our annual 9 holes of golf day

held on the 31st Dec each year. It was a fun way for club

members to enjoy the last day of the year, along with some

sponsors who were able to join us. The many stories of

amazing golf shots and heroic tales from the golf course

were shared at the club after the event. With some fund-

raising to cap off the day and we have a winner. Thanks

to Ron and Kim Wade for their dedication in organising

this again for 2013 and Jo Thodis and her team for a great

atmosphere at the club afterwards.

SUNDAY BBQ’SAnother big thank you to Jo Thodis for leading the sausage

sizzle team on Sunday mornings. For all that have helped

on a Sunday, not only have you raised funds for the club,

but you have fed a lot of hungry nippers and their mums

and dads as they come off the beach! Jo I congratulate

you on involving club members (stalking them) every

Sunday, although they may be hesitant at fi rst, they have

such a good time, they are keen to return and help again

and again.

Training & EducationIIt has been another busy year in the education front for

Secret Harbour. The 2013/14 season has again shaped up

to be another outstanding year for our education team,

who ensured our members are appropriately trained,

have requalifi ed their awards and have had access to

training so as to up-skill. This winter we are embarking

again on fi rst aid courses, age manager’s course and will

also be completing IRB crew and driver training over

the winter months. We are slowly getting light handed

in the IRB crew and drivers department, so if you have

been contemplating IRB’s and love excitement, now’s the

time. Please look for the training Calender on the Web

Site. This year Secret Harbour has been lucky to have

the support of a number training coordinators. The Clubs

gratitude and thankyous go to:

• Carolyn Wilson: First Aid Coordinator

• Mark Dove: Bronze Coordinator

• Paul Bird: Surf Rescue Certifi cate

Coordinator

• Megan Williams: Power Craft Coordinator

It would also be remiss of me not to mention the

following members who volunteered their time to train

and assess, and as a club we really appreciate their time

and expertise.

• Mark Dove • Paul Bird

• Danica Bates • Chloe Howarth

• Daniel Andrew • Alexis Grayson

• Rick Lowe • Carolyn Wilson

• Megan Williams • Garry Williams

• Sharee Hart • Digby Wilson

• Craig Graydon • Ian Phillips

This year the team trained some 581 awards including

Nipper Surf Safe and requalifi ed another 318 awards.

This represents a signifi cant commitment by our

collaborative team of Trainers and Assessors. We are

very proud of Alan who is a young 74 year old achieving

his Bronze, which I believe would be close to record

for SLSA. The success of these awards could not have

been achieved without your dedication. It is fantastic to

see 7 past members return to our club and requalify and

patrol. Please spread the word, we want you all back.

The Adults SRC course coupled with the junior course

saw 37 new qualifi ed Surf Rescue Certifi cates on Secret

Harbour Beach. This and other opportunities are certainly

testament to the continuous training and assistance all

volunteers give to train up and coming new lifesavers

wearing Red and Yellow, serving our community on

Secret Harbour Beach; how proud we are!! SRC’s on

our beaches, are imperative as we continue to develop

and grow as a Club, both educationally and strategically.

SRC’s all had a wonderful time in learning many new

skills in fi rst aid, CPR, Board and tube rescues, while

experiencing other facets of ‘life on the beach’. The older

and more knowledgeable Cadets were able to step up

and assist with training.

Within the community there are various ongoing

commitments our trainers and assessors continue from

season to season.

South Coast Baptist College: This season we continued

our partnership with South Coast Baptist College

(formerly Maranatha Christian College) through the

support of Corey May and will be further developing

this fantastic program with some 32 SRC’s graduated in

2013. They are also about to embark on completing their

Recreational Skippers Ticket (RST) within the next few

weeks.

Bethanie Waters Lifestyle Village: We have also

continued to develop a commercial partnership with

Bethanie Waters Lifestyle Village to provide ongoing

CPR training to residents thanks to Megan William’s

commitment.

Local Football Associations: Digby Wilson is also

putting our brand into the community with the training

of local football coaches in CPR and fi rst aid. If you

know some organisation in the community that would be

interested please bring it to our attention.

The ongoing support of the clubs training and education

team ensures the quality and delivery of our programs

are excellent. The up skilling of our members in awards

is one of the keys to putting our highly professional

patrols on Rockingham Beaches and to provide a safe

environment for all to enjoy our great Australian outdoor

lifestyle that draws us to the beach. With everybody’s

assistance during training and during patrols we, as a

club have formed a solid educational framework for all to

save lives and build better communities.

House and Social ReportHouse and Social began its season with Registration Day.

We took the opportunity of having a BBQ to help make

this chaotic day a social and enjoyable one. We promoted

the various areas the club has on offer with a jet ski on

display to represent patrols with our Patrol Captain on

call, training provided information on fi rst aid, Bronze and

SRC courses, the Rockingham swim school was there, as

were Boaties representatives, and merchandise. Cadets

kindly took up brush and paint and face painted our

excited Nippers before they unceremoniously washed it

off on the slippery slip.

A Members Welcome day was to follow to embrace

our new members and once again showcase the variety

of activities the club has on offer to its members. The

clubrooms were open for a mix and mingle, there were

lots of kid’s activities, and we were entertained by our

very own Nipper parent, and Age Manager, Mick Wyburd

and his band.

Friday nights became ever popular with curry-nights,

pasta-nights, and pizza-nights. Piñata’s were a hit! These

evenings coincided with board training, fi tness training,

meetings, and the March Past team practice. Other Friday

night events included the Halloween party, a romantic

pizza by candlelight when our proposed Movie night

suffered a blackout, and a footy night.

Our new Bar Manager, Tracy Poad, assisted by Jeff Poad,

worked tirelessly on Bar compliance and installed non-

slip mats, door seals, assessed glass sizes and licensing,

as well as bar staff requirements. The bar procedures

were reviewed and streamlined for ease of use by our

volunteers. A price review was undertaken and new

prices implemented, as was the updating of the till thanks

to the assistance of Barb Sarich. Rosters were fi lled

and stocktakes performed on a regular basis, pleasing

our auditors. The bar was hugely successful this season

increasing its productivity and safety. Thanks to everyone

who volunteered behind the bar and to all those that

patronised it with enthusiasm.

The weekly Nippers BBQ’s were delivered by House and

Social on behalf of the Youth Portfolio. We catered for

between 400-600 nippers, parents, siblings and public

each Sunday. The increase in Nipper registrations lead

to an increase in the demand for our BBQ. Each week

a different age group was allocated BBQ duty beginning

from U7’s ranging to Cadets. A number of healthy

options were introduced to our menu to comply with our

accreditation as a Good Sports Club Level 2. Mia’s bakery

became our preferred bread supplier and delivered fresh

rolls cooked early on Sunday morning. We also leased a

coffee machine which became a hit in the canteen even

after a slow start.

We provided a comfortable and cosy kids room for the

Nippers to rest after a busy session on the beach. A desk

was added and activity books to keep the kids occupied,

allowing their parents to socialise in the knowledge

that their children were close by in a safe and relaxed

environment.

Twin BBQ’s catered for a number of notable events, such

as the Boaties carnivals and Junior Qualifi er carnival, where

we fed 1,200 people supplying bacon and eggs as well

as sausages, burgers and snacks to everyone from water

safety and fi rst aid volunteers to offi cials and competitors.

We held a Christmas party and band afternoon, helped

organise the Nippers Christmas party and Nippers wind-

up. For New Year’s we hosted the Go For Golf Day and

sang away at the New Year’s Eve party with a juke box,

karaoke and adult slushies.

The season culminated in the Club Awards night. One of

our Nippers parents and patrolling member, Nicki Ralph,

catered the evening making it a very sophisticated and

memorable night. Thanks to our bar tenders Carol Tonkin

and Rhyanna Stroot for volunteering behind the bar on

this night of nights.

Just for fun we had a ‘count the Life Savers in the jar’

fundraiser, ‘Lucky numbers’ fundraisers, a wine fundraiser

and weekly members draw.

Special thanks and appreciation go to Barb Sarich for

supplying us with change each week, to Deb Bird, Lyla

and Darren Hall, Julie McGovern, Kristen Booth, Anne-

Marie Dullaghan, and to our Administrative offi cer Sharon

Phillips who managed all the private functions, arranged

cleaning, keys, maintenance, and all the administration

associated with the House and Social Portfolio.

Honorary mention must go to my husband Greg Stroot and son

Dion Stroot for all the snags they have turned, for hauling gas

bottles, ice bags, setting up chairs, tables, tents and emptying

countless bins. I couldn’t manage without you guys.

It takes a massive team effort to feed so many people each

week and to come up with social ideas that engage and

entertain our members. Thank you to all the volunteers, from;

enthusiastic Nippers, siblings of Nippers, parents of Nippers,

cadets, board members and their partners, grandparents, and

all of those other patrolling members for your contribution

and support of House and Social.

Looking Forward

This year we also had our fi rst serious look at plans for the

new clubhouse. The building subcommittee consulted widely

among the many portfolios and House and Social was no

exception. The fl oor plans were presented, scribbled over,

returned and scribbled all over again. We are confi dent the

result will be a fabulous place for us to enjoy for many years

to come. For “House and Social” it promises to birth a new era

with its function room, cosy club bar and third fl oor balcony.

The next few years will bring some challenges as the

construction begins. While I’m sure the Builders and Board

will do their best to make the transition as smooth as possible,

I’m also trusting that the club’s diehard members will keep the

“social” momentum going so that when the new “house” is

fi nally unveiled House and Social can bring on a doozy of a

housewarming.

Youth DevelopmentA wonderful season this year with the most amazing

weather I think I have ever seen. It was warm, sunny and

perfect for every nipper Sunday except for our fi nal one

unfortunately we also have great weather.

We had a record number of children signed up this season

bringing with them some great parents who have become

quite involved with the club.

The U14 age group went through their SRC at a camp held at

Pt Peron School Camp. Some interesting stories occurred

at camp but as I am sworn to secrecy, what happens at

“camp stays at camp”. All I can say is that everyone had

fun and we laughed a lot. Speaking of camps, we were

lucky again this season with SLSWA giving us 4 places on

the TOAD camp and 3 places on the Rise Up camp. These

camps take youth from each club in the state and then

get them to work together while having fun and making

friends. Again the kids had a great time and told me it

was ‘AWESOME’. The fi nal camp I must mention is the

cadet YIPS camp run by Garry and Megan Williams, Mark

Dove and Luke Stafferton. The group went to Moore River

and were able to have fun on their boards, be introduced

to IRB, Surfboats and Skis and also undertake some sand

boarding, and kayaking. From all reports the camp was

not just fun for the kids but the leaders had a ball too.

These camps, education, awards and fun activities would

not be possible if it weren’t for our wonderful sponsors.

This year we had help from Lorraine Dove, Remax Realty,

Paul Papalia the Local Member for Warnbro, Stuart Reeves

of Fitzroy Professional Services, City of Rockingham and

BHP Billiton Nickel West. Unfortunately we are losing

Nickel West for the next season after having sponsored us

for 10years. This sponsorship has been vital in supporting

our youth programs and purchasing equipment for this

area. We thank Nickel West for this sponsorship and

maybe we can partner again sometime in the future.

That brings me to our competitive juniors. What an

absolutely wonderful team of kids we had competing

this season. There were four carnivals during the

season, Sorrento, Fremantle, Denmark and then Country

Championships at Trigg. The kids did the club proud

keeping Secret Harbour’s name constantly on the loud

speaker. Great effort by all the kids, parents, team

managers, offi cials, water safety and coaches, everyone

had fun even though we were all exhausted by the end.

Lastly a huge thank you to those that have helped out

every Sunday at Secret Harbour. The set up team of Tim,

Jo, Graham, Steve and a few other parent helpers who

raked and measured early each Sunday so the nippers

could have a good session; all the Age Managers who

took those ever increasing groups of kids through games

and skills with enthusiasm even though some of the age

managers had not even been in country for very long;

the Junior Club Captains Matt and Samantha for working

with the nippers throughout the season; our Water Safety

offi cer Daniel with some assistance from Sharee and Birdy

who helped with this too, the IRB driver Benno and his

crewies watching from the water, all the u14’s and newly

qualifi ed SRC parents that went out into the water dressed

in bright orange and of course the various Patrol teams

who backed us up to keep everyone safe. It was a great

team effort and I hope we can do it all again next season,

because we can’t do it without you.

Surf Sports ReportSecret Harbour has had a fantastic year in competition this

season. There is so much potential in this portfolio and

we will only grow. The quality of youth/cadet and master

competitors coming through will guarantee the success of

our Club in Surf Sports of all areas.

This was my fi rst season as the Director of Surf Sports

and one I found extremely challenging, but also very

rewarding. To see the improvement in all areas of Surf

Sports and the commitment to training, competition

and attendance was impressive and the numbers didn’t

decrease over the whole season which says we are doing

something right.

This season we opened up Wednesday Board Training to

u/8’s – u/10s thanks to the initiative of Sharee Hart for

approaching me with this and running with the programme.

This group had no less than 20 young nippers at training

every week and the smile on the kids participating was

fantastic.

In saying all that, the success of Surf Sports is due to

my Team of Coaches and Committee, so thank you for all

your support and dedication this season. Thanks you to:

• Head Coach: Alannah Wilson

• Cadets: Carolyn Wilson, Barry (Bones) Jarret

Alannah Wilson, Sam Maurice, Tony

Maurice and Lee McGovern

• Pool Rescue: Caroline Bates

• March Past: Robyn Bevan

• u/13: Ingrid Ostle

• u/12: Rick Lowe and Nick McIvor

• u/11 and

Beach Coach: Alexis Grayson

• u/8s – u/10s: Sharee Hart and Nicola Awang

Thank you to the following Surf Sport Committee

members:

• Boat Captain: John Turner

• Ski Captain: Sam Maurice

• Board Captain: Lee McGovern

• Fitness: Garry Williams

The Club has shown their dedication to our Competitors

by purchasing 5 new Bennett cadet boards, 2 Fenn

adjustable skis and a double ski for our Competing

Athletes to try out and borrow. My aim is to implement a

leasing programme for our Athletes to utilise over the next

couple of seasons.

Secret Harbour GoldThe participation in this event grows each year. We had

32 awesome competitors take on the 1km swim, 2km

board, 2km run and 4km ski, either individually or as a

team. Thank you to Max Hannah and Fran Meadley from

FROGMAT Landscape Construction for their continued

sponsorship of this event each year.

Club ChampionshipsThis is our one club competition day for our cadets/

masters to shine and have fun doing so. It was a great

morning and even though the weather wasn’t the best

we still had 22 competitors turn up and have ago. Well

done to all. I’m planning for next year to being bigger and

better.

Carnivals HostedThe Club hosted a Junior State Qualifi er, both State and

National Surfi ng Events; in the State competition we saw 4

medals received. Congratulations to Lee McGovern, Ben

Bird, Tyson Sarich and Jessie Mae Wyatt. We also hosted

2 Boat Carnivals and a board and ski series this season, a

mammoth effort to all concerned.

Country/Master ChampionshipsThis Carnival is one of my personal favourites and what

a blinder our Competitors had this year. Our Stand outs

were Josh Maurice and Jesika Bussey who blitzed the

competition and came home with 9 medals each.

Ewan Fletcher and Sam Maurice 5 medals, Joe Ford,

Breanna Bird, Liam Bates, Chris Collins, Brooke Poad and

Jacob McIvor 4 Medals and all of our three Boat Crews

medalled (more details provided in the Boat report).

A grand total of 99 medals, our best Countries yet!

Congratulations to everyone who participated.

WA State Senior and Junior ChampionshipsThis is the best of the best and tough competition.

Congratulations to everyone who qualifi ed to get to this

stage, you all represented your club well. Well done to

Joshua Maurice; Bronze in u/19 boards and Gold in the

U/19 double Ski with Jorden Ringrose, Mana Runnion;

WA State Pool Rescue

A group of 11 of our club members entered the States for

Pool Rescue with nearly everyone medalling. Liam Bates

came out with 8 medals, fantastic effort. Congratulations

to all the other competitors Jesika Bussey, Alannah

Wilson, Josh Wood, Sean Phillips, Samantha Lowe, Jessica

Williams, Angela Aislabie and, John Cahill and Rob Bates.

Well done all.

Cockburn CrawlThis event has run for its 8th year now. Unfortunately

numbers were down to 68 this year, which was mainly due

to a full calendar also it is a very busy time of year. Thank

you to everyone that gave up their time and helping out

with the running of this event. Thanks you to our sponsor

the City of Rockingham.

AUSSIESWe had the privilege of the Aussies being held at

Scarborough Beach this year so we had 40 of our members

competing. We had some of our U/14’s competing up and

they really enjoyed the experience. Our Boaties put in a

fantastic effort, not to mention our Masters and Opens

Competitors. Thank you to Tony Maurice for stepping

up as Team Manager for the Club. Congratulations

to everyone on their efforts. Thank you to all that Age

Managed, IRB, and Offi cial or undertook water Safety.

Club Swim/Board/SkiThe Sunday morning club swim/board and ski race is

a fantastic way to have a go at different lifesaving surf

sport events and the aim is to get everyone involved. I

changed the time this year to 8:30am due to conditions at

11am being generally uninviting most Sundays (the wind

is always up) and I feel this helped with the numbers of

people joining in.

We try and run this every Sunday over the season so it’s

not aimed at just the competition members but the whole

club.

Also a big thank you to everyone who did the Coaches

Course this season: Mark Dove, Matt Evans, Nicola Awang

and Tony Maurice. I already have had members express

an interest to go on the course this season so they can

come on board and help with Surf Sports.

Our Offi cials attended carnival after carnival, I could

always rely on: Digby and Carolyn Wilson, Tina Runnion,

Karl Roots, Alexis Grayson, Garry and Sharee Hart, Rick

Lowe and Nick McIvor. We need some more help in this

area and if members would like to put their hand up to

undertake the offi cial’s course please let me know. Last

but not least to everyone that did Water Safety and First

Aid, our competitors couldn’t have competed without you

stepping up to help.

Deb BirdDirector of Surf Sports

Boat Captain’s Report Wow! What a huge season it was for the surf boat

section.

It was a very long and demanding season with an earlier

start than normal and of cause a late fi nish due to the

Aussies. Most of our rowers continued their strength

and conditioning training right through the winter

months. With the dreaded Ergo sessions also in full

swing right through the winter and pre-season months.

Despite a few disruptions with availability of experienced

sweeps most crews were back on the water by August/

September and trained hard right through till the end of

March.

Secret Harbour again hosted two fantastic surf boat

carnivals early in the season.

ASRL Triple Crown Series – Sunday 13th October 2013

This event was an opportunity for the best of the best

open men’s and women’s surf boat rowers in WA to fi ght

it out for a chance to represent WA in the Eastern states

at three National ASRL surf boat events. Although no

Secret Harbour crews competed that day the club hosted

a very successful day. The spectators were treated to an

action packed morning as big swell provided plenty of

thrills and spills.

SLSWA Navy Surf Boat Series Round 1 – Sunday 17th

November 2013

Again Secret Harbour hosted a very successful and

professionally run event. This carnival kicked off the WA

surf boat season with a bang as a huge fi eld of almost

50 crews battled it out in tough conditions. Our beach

turned on some great swell which made for an action

packed day.

The success of both events would not have been

possible without the assistance of so many wonderful

helpers from within the club. Hosting these boat

carnivals is a huge logistical effort and provides the club

great exposure and much needed fundraising. A huge

thank you goes out to everyone who helped with the set

up and running of both of these great events.

The club also competed in the following carnivals;

• Round 2 Navy Boat Series @ Quinn’s Mindarie –

Sunday 1st of December 2013

• Round 3 Navy Boat Series @ Port Bouvard –

Aussies @ Scarboro – Tuesday 1st of April 2014.

This again was a very exciting time for our boaties as for

most it was their very fi rst Aussie Titles.

The club again doing very well against the best crews in

the country.

The Secret Gems – 6th overall in the women’s 160’s

masters.

The Secret Six Packs – 10th overall in the men’s 160’s

masters.

The Secret Agents – 12th overall in the men’s 180’s

masters.

All three crews did the club proud and competed

strongly against much larger and more experienced

clubs. This was a great experience for everyone involved

Boat Captain’s Report cont’d

and the club can be very proud of the way they were

represented.

As you can see it was a huge season! A big thank you

must go to all of our wonderful sweeps. Ross Onions,

Brendan Privilege and Rohan Pugh again put in a huge

amount of time effort to keep our great sport alive and

well within this club. I would also like to acknowledge

the huge amount of time and effort Paul Bird

contributed to the boaties season as a back sweep and

also his boat and trailer maintenance skills. Thank you

also Dave Mitton who also helped out as a back-up

sweep to assist in training when required.

I would also like to acknowledge the countless hours

put in behind the scenes from our dedicated Boat

Committee Members – Sharee Hart, Karen Clay,

Nick McIvor and Rick Lowe. Also on behalf of the

Boat Committee I would like to thank Deb Bird as

our fearless leader in Surf Sports for her ongoing

dedication and support.

We also thank our sponsors for their ongoing support

Greg Watts and MDW Environmental Services and

Nick and Tracey McIvor from McIvor Plumbing.

In conclusion we have had a great season and it is

pleasing to see the sport of Surf Boat Racing is alive

and well in our club. However as the majority of our

current rowers are all in masters age groups we are

desperately seeking an injection of youth into the

boat section. This great sport offers physical strength

and fi tness, surf skills, excitement and exhilaration

and most importantly teamwork! If you have ever

wondered what it would be like to row surf boats then

please make contact with myself or any other boatie

from the club you know and we will happily organise

an opportunity for you to have a go.

Look forward to an even bigger and better 2014/15

season!

John Turner. Club Boat Captain
