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.

4 CRONULLA SURF LIFE SAVING CLUB ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014 PATRONS MESSAGE Fellow 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 Barry Ezzy, Patron 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.

‘One the proudest days in my life’

CRONULLA SURF LIFE SAVING CLUB ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014 5 SECRETARY’S REPORT Once 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 Paul Larssen 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 within SLSA and it is an outstanding achievement. and whilst we acknowledge and accept members’ Dick was also awarded the Surf Life Saving Australia departures, we are also only too happy to welcome them President’s Medal for his most significant and with open arms should they choose to return. outstanding service to surf lifesaving.

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 Michael Roye - showing how it’s done. 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 Robyn Cole & Jenny Pinker club.

8 CRONULLA SURF LIFE SAVING CLUB ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014 CLUB VICE CAPTAIN’S REPORT To 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 Paul Cavanagh 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. 100% SEASON 13-14

100% PATROL ATTENDANCE PATROL OF THE YEAR Georgie Adams Jeremy Macpherson A big thank you must go to those members who were able Sumaya Akkawy Steven Mannion to achieve their 100% patrol attendances this season Chadwick Aryana Andrew Miles (listed below). I know how hard it is in today’s world to find the time to volunteer, but without your dedication to Chris Barber Eric Roe our rosters we’d struggle week to week so once again on Tom Elliott Catherine Rubbi behalf of the Club, thank you. Richard Gluskie Nick Rubbi A very special mention must also go to the following two members, Bryan Wild and Daniel Kerr, who achieved their Elissa Golding Robert J Short tenth and twelfth consecutive seasons of 100% patrol Phillip Hamilton Bryan Wild attendance. This is a fantastic effort and you are both role models for all our Patrolling Members. Kerrie Hammell Nathan Wild It was also unfortunate this season for one of our Daniel Kerr Jennifer Trevillion hardened beach Patrollers, who’s name will remain Darcy Macpherson Ryan Wood anonymous, but let’s call him Rob Short, who thought by dressing in full patrol attire whilst skiing in the Canadian 10 YEARS CONSECUTIVE 100% alps, that he may achieve his 100%. Obviously he was Bryan Wild suffering from altitude sickness. Oops did I say his name? Sorry about that Shorty! SOME INTERESTING LIFESAVING STATISTICS Twenty 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.

CRONULLA SURF LIFE SAVING CLUB ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014 21 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 Richard Ford the end of year Ski trip. On the competition front we had the Sydney Water series start early with some strong performances many of the u/14s who competed showed the true from all cadets both on the beach and in the water.

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 Boards 2 Stretchers 36 Rescue Tubes Patrol Area & Tent 9 Radios Patrol Uniforms 4 Oxy-Viva Kits Board & Tube Stands 2 Patrol First Aid Kits Signal Flags & evacuation (Shark) Flags 1 Club First Aid Kit 13 Resuscitation Mannequins 9 Spinal Collars 2 Trainer Defibrillators Rob Short 3 Spinal Boards & Straps 5 IRBs 2 Defibrillators the scenes work has been of enormous help to me and 5 Outboard Motors invaluable to the Club.

The following members helped prepare the club gear and premises for the start Rob Short, Chief Gear Steward 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 Rubber Duckie 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.

CRONULLA SURF LIFE SAVING CLUB ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014 29 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 Emma Larssen & Ketut Adi Arini (‘Water Woman of the Year’ and volunteer Nipper instructor) helped with the coaching of athletes for various competitions. in two categories for the Nippers sky blue, black and white colours to One of the great highlights and program and came away as winners Cronulla SLSC and when I suggested achievements of my time here in of the General Mentors Award – to them to wear the Cronulla cap Bali has been the introduction of the “for exceptional achievement in during the competition they did!

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

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 Jake Cassell 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. SLSNSW EXCHANGE In January 2014 I was fortunate enough to be chosen Sampai jumpa nanti! to represent Cronulla in the Surf Life Saving New South Emma Made Larssen Wales (SLSNSW) country exchange program. International Correspondent 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.

NATHAN SMITH - NSW HALL OF FAME Cronulla 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.

Nathan Smith - NSW Hall of Fame JOHN HOLT - OAM John 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.

46 CRONULLA SURF LIFE SAVING CLUB ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014 SWIMMING CAPTAIN’S REPORT After 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.

CRONULLA SURF LIFE SAVING CLUB ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014 47 BEACH CAPTAINS REPORT Another 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. Chris Giles 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 the under 15 men’s beach sprint and 6th in the flags, retained the Beach Shield at the Interclub, which is whilst Charlie Gluskie and Talia Munro just missed a great reflection of our strength as a beach team. a medal, finishing 4th in the under 15 men’s and There is also no doubt that we were the premier women’s flags respectively.

This appears to performed so well as an under 14 last year, also be a growing trend and is concerning if we want to showed her talent at this year’s Championships, maintain some competitiveness to test ourselves taking out the bronze medal in the under 15 women’s throughout the year. If things don’t improve, we may beach sprint and gold in the flags. Well done Ngaire! need to look at other ways to test ourselves rather All of our relay runners also need to be commended. than relying on traditional Carnivals. We had water competitors join beach competitors When we travelled to the Central Coast for the State to field five teams across various relay events. In Championships, hopes were high and our members the under 19 women’s relay, we had a team of Olivia delivered. As usual, our relay teams excelled, but Crawford, Maddie Grant, Emma Southwell and Carla we were also able to celebrate some magnificent Papac take out 5th place, while the second team of individual results. Daniel Karagiannis finished 5th in 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 Beach Section - Back Row L to R: Charlie Gluskie, Jeremy Knott, Talia Munro Front Row L to R; Lachlan Vitnell, Ngaire Hadfield, Daniel Karagiannis

One of the stories of the Titles for us, was that our under 15 women’s Chris Giles - Beach Captain 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.

CRONULLA SURF LIFE SAVING CLUB ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014 49 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, Richard ‘Bluey’ Garnsey especially in the U15/U17/U19 girls and boys.

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. Mark Simpson 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.

CRONULLA SURF LIFE SAVING CLUB ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014 51 SURF BOAT CAPTAIN’S REPORT The 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.
