Beyond the Flags | 3 NEWS IN BRIEF New Era Dawns As Operations Centre Opens The Northern Operations Centre at Port Macquarie was offically opened in late June with representatives from the Federal and State Governments joining the Surf Life Saving community who will benefit from the new facility. The multi-purpose building will provide a secure facility from which volunteers can train, store and maintain vital lifesaving and rescue equipment, and deliver first aid and CPR training to surf lifesavers and the community. “We are grateful for the support of the Australian Government and the NSW Government, through the ClubGRANTS program, to give our regional volunteers some of the same opportunities their city counterparts enjoy,” SLSNSW President Tony Haven said. “This new facility marks the beginning of a new era for our lifesavers in Northern NSW and will allow them to continue doing what they do best – saving lives in a high quality, modern environment.” Since its opening, the centre has been used for regional meetings, lifeguard induction training and also houses the Mid North Coast Branch office.

Surf Club Open Day is a chance for clubs to potentially boost their numbers, conduct fundraising efforts such as putting on a barbeque, and to connect to their local community. All 11 branches will be participating in Surf Club Open Day on Sunday October 18. Beko Backs Boaties The 2016 Best of the Best Surfboat Challenge will again be supported by Beko who will partner with SLSNSW for one of the boating calendar’s most prestigious events. Top crews from around the state will battle for glory in a one-day carnival format next April. The challenge is ideally placed between State and Aussie Champs and promises to be highly competitive with the best crews battling it out. The venue for the event will be announced in October. Be SharkSmart this Summer A community awareness program around reducing the risk of shark encounters is being rolled out throughout the north of the state. In response to a series of shark incidents on the north coast, the NSW Department of Primary Industries is releasing a suite of SharkSmart materials and online information to the public. Surf Life Saving NSW is assisting by delivering materials to surf clubs who can use the resources to inform club members, swimmers and surfers in their local community on ways they can reduce their risk while still enjoying the ocean. Resources are available online at www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/sharksmart Beyond the Flags | 5 BACK TO THE FUTURE FOR TAREE-OLD BAR When Ben Stevenson was elected as “Our goal for this season is to grow the Taree Old-Bar SLSC’s first president club and make it an enjoyable place since coming out of administration, that people can feel a part of - it is really he was prepared for a challenge and is as simple as that,” Stevenson said.

  • Club History History of South Maroubra Surf Life Saving Club
    Club History History of South Maroubra Surf Life Saving Club Foundation of the surf club in 1907. South Maroubra Surf Club, founded on 1 December 1907, is one of the oldest surf lifesaving clubs in Australia. Details of the first South Maroubra Surf Club can be found in the archived minutes of the club’s meetings in the ‘E.S. Marks sporting collection’ in file Q82 of the Mitchell Library in Sydney. Like most pioneering surf clubs in Sydney, South Maroubra Surf Club began as a lifeline brigade. The informal brigade, was formed at an impromptu meeting of about eighty surf bathers at the remote ‘Pioneer camp’ at the southern end of Maroubra beach on Sunday, 24 November 1907. The surf club was established formally by that name only one week later. Dr Robert Steer Bowker chaired the meeting of 24 November. He was a Macquarie Street specialist and an honorary surgeon at Sydney Hospital. Robert Bowker’s brother, Dr Cedric Bowker, a gynaecologist at Sydney Hospital, and Dr Jack Windeyer, later surgeon, obstetrician and a professor at the University of Sydney, became honorary instructors in resuscitation. The ‘Pioneer camp’, sometimes referred to as the ‘doctors’ camp’, had been formed around 1906. It was one of many bush camps established at South Maroubra by men who enjoyed surf bathing and fishing. Early rescues at South Maroubra. The initial meeting on 24 November 1907 raised funds to purchase a life line and reel at South Maroubra after a series of dramatic surf rescues by members of the Pioneer camp. On Sunday 27 October four men had narrow escapes after being carried out in the rip alongside the rocks at South Maroubra.
