During the 2014/15 season we had 448 life- savers gain their Bronze Medallion. In addition, 2,241 active members performed 36,821 preventative actions and 584 rescues. I am pleased to state that no lives have been lost between our flags yet again. We have come along way since our first humble beginnings back in the 1945/46 season with six surf clubs including Southport, Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach, A.E.M.E, Burleigh Heads Mowbray Park and Palm Beach. We had 64 new members gain their Bronze Medallion and 259 active members performed many rescues resulting in no fatalities. The actions of past and present members reflect credit on the clubs of our Branch and they are to be commended. Without the support of the community we are not able to carry out our duties in which we are so skilled in doing. The Gold Coast City Council supported the Branch with sponsorship and we thank Mayor Tom Tate and the council for your generous provision and contribution. In addition, I would acknowledge the involvement and support of the Queensland Government it terms of grants
