That didn’t happen by accident and was the result of a huge amount of work put in across the whole club – congratulations everyone for your help in us gaining these accolades. The highlight of the current year for me was our hosting Oceans 18 – the Under 14 New Zealand Surf Lifesaving Championships. I was immensely proud of the way the whole club came together and made it happen under somewhat trying weather and surf conditions!! Thank you to all those that came and volunteered time. Our annual Awards night held recently was a roaring success – my favourite night of the year where we recognise our achievements individually and collectively. Congratulations to all our award winners who are mentioned elsewhere in this report. Demand for our services still increases and we are fortunate to have a dedicated bunch of people pulling on the red and yellow uniform week in and week out. Keep up the good work team|! As I signalled at our Awards evening, there are some big changes ahead for surf lifesaving and how we deliver our services to the community. We face some real challenges in the next few years to adapt to these changes. Some new faces around the Board table this year with a good balance of older and new. We also appointed an independent Director for the first time which we have wanted to do for several years. With our (newish) management structure, the real driving force in making the club function is now our operational committees. There is a great balance of people sitting on these committees and they do a great job for us all. Thanks folks. Biggest thanks to all our sponsors and key stakeholders for without you we could not do what we do in keeping the public safe on our beaches and in the water. We look forward to continuing to work with you in coming years. That includes our Local Council Board and Patron and local Member of Parliament Mark Mitchell for their continued support. Our building redevelopment project continues slowly and quietly in the background and we hope that by the end of 2018 we will have formally kicked off our fundraising campaign.. I closing, I just want to acknowledge our Chairperson, Faron Turner, who does a fantastic job Orewa Surf Life Saving Club 4 in leading the club. He deserves your thanks and gratitude for his work. I look forward to seeing you all again next summer. John Chapman. President Surf Life Saving Northern Region 2017 Awards of Excellence Northern Region Surf Club of the Year - Orewa Northern Region Best Patrolled Beach - Orewa Northern Region Competition Club of the Year –Orewa Northern Region Pool Champs Club of the Year - Orewa Northern Region Examiner of the Year –Faron Turner Northern Region U16 Sportsman - Hamish Lockie Northern Region U16 Sportswomen - Lucky Makaea Orewa Surf Life Saving Club 5 Chairpersons Report As we hang up our flippers, beach towels and googles, we find some time to finally dry out our speedos and reflect on the 2017/18 season, which has been an exceptional year for our club. This is with thanks to the endless efforts of each and every one of you, who make voluntary contributions that benefit the entire club and underpin our mission “to protect our community in the water.” Firstly, I want to thank all our sponsors and donors. Without the generous support of a huge number of businesses and individuals, we would not be able to exist. I thank you all on behalf of all members for your continued support to our club and in supporting us to offer our services to the wider community. I would also like to acknowledge the ongoing support and encouragement given by our local Member of Parliament (and Patron) Mark Mitchell, along with Julia Parfitt and the Hibiscus Bays Local Board of Auckland Council. Both Julia and Mark go out of their way to help the club whenever called upon, which is much appreciated. There are so many people helping to run the club in a variety of ways, please accept our thanks for your input. I want to mention the operational committees and wider management teams, who put in a huge amount of work off the beach to ensure the smooth running of the various activities of our club. Our junior and senior members have performed with credit in Surf Sports this year and their achievements are recognised later in this report. Congratulations to everyone who has competed in sport events, and thanks to all those who have coached or managed teams at club and regional levels this season. With this, it is only fitting to acknowledge the parents and family members who help as officials, water safety and with logistics at various events throughout the season. Orewa is well represented amongst the finalists for the SLSNR Awards of Excellence, so good luck to everyone nominated and looking forward to celebrating your success on the night. With the focus during 2017/2018 to carry on with business as usual and to undertake further recruitment so that we have a fully appointed board, we now turning our attention onto how we can best “Protect our community on the water.” In the coming months we will be reaching out to the wider membership for support in developing specific measurable outcomes that are aligned to three key threads below: Saving Lives Developing Leaders and Champions Engaging our Community While beach usage and lifesaving incidents remain steady when compared to recent years, it was still a busy lifeguarding season. Our lifeguards continue to provide a high quality service to the public during regular patrolling hours, contracting for event safety and in response to callout emergencies 24/7 all year round. Well done to all our lifeguards and instructors for Orewa Surf Life Saving Club 6 delivering a quality service in our primary function to “protect our community in the water.” The Board continues to promote a set of values that we believe is how we want our club to be seen and that we expect all our members to uphold; this needs to become our way of being - R.E.A.L. a drive to be a better club. Please help us in getting the information to our members and reinforcing these values. There are posters up in the club and at times we do need to step back and remind each other about these expectations. So be gracious, be kind to each other and lets grow the R E A L (Respect, Environment, Attitude, Leadership) values together. Next season promises to be another good year and we hope to build on the best parts of this year. Looming large on the horizon is the redevelopment of our building which will be a reality in the coming years. I hope you all have an enjoyable winter, a good break from the beach and I look forward to seeing you all again in the coming months. “There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.” Faron Turner Chairman Orewa Club Surf Life Saving Club Awards 2017-2018 Service Awards 2017 - 2018 Tony Wiseman Jack Wilson Michelle Taylor Andrew Saunders Jenny Fergus Shayne Tall Brad Shanks Nicky Lafferty Warren May Graeme Pearson Sue McCarthny Sharon Campbell Distinguished Service Award 2017 - 2018 Trevor Keinzley Trevor Keinzley(left) with Mark Mitchell (Patron) (right) Orewa Surf Life Saving Club 7 Life Saving Operational Committee Peter Wood / Jodie Wood Chair Nick Tomkins Search & Rescue Jodie Wood Development Coordinator Stu Price Patrol Operations Gary Beyer Asset Manager Dawie Bester Powercraft Officer Alexis Farr First Aid Officer Mark Johnston Rookie Coordinator Tom Burgess Event Guard coordinator 2017 - 2018 4146 Voluntary lifeguard Season Stats hours 96 First 10 people Aids 12 rescued searches 767 ….involving Preventative actions 1898 people Orewa Surf Life Saving Club 8 Our season started off on a great note with the 2017 Awards of Excellence for Surf Life Saving Northern Region.

For over 40 years we’ve been helping to keep beaches safe. So thanks to our people in yellow and red.....and green. It is an honour to write the foreword for this special edition to mark the 40 years of the BP Surf Life Saving partnership. This magazine is a very special record of that partnership as well as the development of power craft in New Zealand. BP’s partnership with Surf Life Saving started in 1968. Europa had provided the Worser Bay Club with a new surf boat early in the year which was used to save passengers of the Wahine in Wellington Harbour. That event made my predecessors realise what role the company could play in helping to save lives. Today, 40 years later, BP supports the 208 IRBs (inflatable rescue boats) used by Surf Life Saving Clubs around the country to keep our beaches safe. The partnership is mutually beneficial and is about much more than just money. It’s about people. The thousands of volunteers that give their time to keep our beaches safe, they are the people that saved 1681 lives last summer, our financial support just helped to give them a tool to assist them in their work.

  • Surf Life Saving New Zealand – Sport Policy Statement SPS010
    Surf Life Saving New Zealand – Sport Policy Statement SPS010 Subject: IRB Racing Personal Protective Equipment Endorsement Date: March 2016 Endorsed By: SLSNZ Review Date: June 2016 1. Introduction Surf Life Saving IRB Racing is currently one of the few motor sport events in New Zealand that does not wear helmets, and the only water motor sport/extreme sport not to wear lifejackets in New Zealand. As a leading water safety organisation, we should be leading the way in reducing risks where appropriate for our members, as well as setting a good image and example to our communities on the beach. The introduction of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is one area we look to reduce risk along with the following key safety measures: Eliminate, Substitution, Isolation, Engineering, Administrative. There is increased pressure from organisations like Water Safety NZ, Coastguard and Harbour Masters regarding the wearing of Lifejackets for all boat users, power or unpowered. IRB racing has the highest injury rate to our members, and we are required to make practical steps to reduce risk and increase protection where possible. 2. Objectives of this Policy The objective of this policy is to provide best safety standards for members competing in IRB Racing and outline the requirements for personal protective equipment required. 3. Rules The following rules have been developed by the National IRB Advisory Group and National Sport Committee. With the one exception below, lifejackets are compulsory for all IRB Drivers, Crew and Patients in competition and competition training from the 1st January 2016. Prior to the 1st January 2016, the wearing of lifejackets is highly recommended.
