Our Organisation Today, Surf Life Saving NSW has members across 129 clubs and 11 branches who perform thousands of rescues, preventative actions and first aid treatments each year. Our Inception The origins of Surf Life Saving can be traced back to the actions of Mr William Gocher who, in September 1902 at Manly Beach, defied the law of the time by bathing during the prohibited daylight hours. As the popularity of surf bathing quickly grew into a national pastime, its dangers became apparent. Small groups of experienced, regular surfers began to form themselves into lifesaving bodies to help people who needed rescuing from an unfamiliar environment. As these clubs grew in size and number, the need for a united front to raise money and ask for help from local councils and the NSW State Government was identified and the NSW Surf Bathing Association was formed on 18 October 1907. The name of the Association was later changed to the Surf Life Saving Association of Australia, and in 1991 it was changed again to Surf Life Saving Australia. Surf Life Saving NSW, formerly known as the Surf Life Saving Association of Australia (NSW State Centre) has operated within the state boundaries of NSW to fulfil the mission and goals of the Association since 1907. 2 SURF LIFE SAVING NSW ANNUAL REPORT 2012-13 CONTENTS Patron’s Message 5 Directors & Management 16 Minister’s Foreword 6 Our People 18 President’s Report 7 Department Reports 22 Chief Executive Officer’s Report 8 Branch Reports 45 Meeting Our Key Targets 9 Our Members 56 Season Snapshot 11 Financial Report 64 Financial Highlights 13 Statistics 85 Governance 14 Surf Sports Results 92 SURF LIFE SAVING NSW ANNUAL REPORT 2012-13 3 4 SURF LIFE SAVING NSW ANNUAL REPORT 2012-13 PATRON’S MESSAGE As Vice-Regal Patron of Surf Life Saving NSW, it gives me the My warmest congratulations are extended to everyone involved in utmost pleasure to congratulate Surf Life Saving NSW and all the surf lifesaving movement for the role it plays not only saving volunteer lifesavers for continuing their long and vital role in lives on the beaches, but off the beach as well, through its first the community to protect our beaches. aid training and community education programs.

  • 2012 Football Club Chairman’S Report
    MANLY-WARRINGAH RUGBY LEAGUE FOOTBALL CLUB LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2012 FOOTBALL CLUB CHAIRMAN’S REPORT Going back to back in the NRL competition has proven too big a task for the defending Premiers each year since 1992, but I can proudly say that in 2012, Geoff Toovey and the boys gave it a red hot go. Despite a host of difficulties, including pre-season disruptions, travelling to the UK for the World Club Challenge, injuries, suspensions and off field distractions, the team, led by Co-Captains Jamie Lyon and Jason King, rallied together magnificently to finish in the Top 4, falling only one game short of another Grand Final appearance after defeat by eventual 2012 Premiers, the Melbourne Storm. Whilst we may not have achieved our ultimate goal of successfully defending our 2011 title, we should not lose sight of just how difficult it is to remain near the top of the NRL competition each year. Accordingly, we should all be extremely proud of what was still a very successful 2012 season for the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles. In his first year as Head Coach, Geoff Toovey did a fantastic job despite a less than ideal preparation and I am sure he is itching to get into 2013, knowing the experience of his first year under his belt will stand him in good stead for the challenges that lie ahead. With the nucleus of the side being retained long term, particularly our young halves, Keiran Foran and Daly Cherry-Evans, we can all be justifiably confident that a 9th premiership is well within our reach in coming seasons.

  • Risky Behaviours of Beachgoing in Australia
    Risky behaviours of beachgoing in Australia Todd Walton A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences Faculty of Science July, 2014 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Walton First name: Todd Other name/s: Reginald Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences Faculty: Science Title: Risky behaviours of beach-going in Australia Abstract Beaches in Australia are signified with meaning. ‘The beach’ is a cultural centrepiece that contributes to the expectation of pleasure seeking in various forms, be it whilst being at the beach or reminiscing about being there. However, many of these pleasures are invariably risky. This thesis explored the cultural underpinnings of beach going in Australia, to reveal the existence of risk- taking norms in Australian beach use. Attention has been paid to the sociality of the embodied subject in the beach space, and how various cultural forces that promote risky beach behaviours have emerged in Australia. I present a psychosocial, ethnographic study that captures the patterns of behaviour and perceptions that reproduce norms of risk-taking that are specific to beach going. A synthesis of psychoanalytic geographies and psychodynamics provided a practical way of analysing such risky behaviours. These analytic methods were brought in touch with the more commonplace research methods of surveying and interviewing in human geography. This filled a methodological gap in the analysis of risk- taking behaviour as a phenomenon, and the associated psychic development of individuals within the specific context of beach going.
