6 Life Member Dale Massie

Dale Massie gained his Bronze Medallion on 06 November 1982. From Season 1981-82 (as a Cadet) until the end of Season 1986-87 Dale patrolled and competed for the Club. A highlight was a Queensland Championship in the 1984 Junior Taplin Relay at Tannum Sands. Dale moved away after the 1986-87 Season to pursue employment but retained his ‘Past Active’ membership status until Season 2001-02. Dale was elected the Director of Marketing & Promotion in Season 2002-03 to Season 2004-05. Then followed a period of 2 Seasons as Deputy President of the Senior Club. Dale was Director of Junior Activities (Nippers) for 7 Seasons from 2006 to 2013. During this period the competitive strength of our Nippers improved steadily until our team won the Nipper State Championship in Season 2011-12. This period of growth set our Nippers as a top-performing Club in competition which remains to this day. By the time he retired as Nippers Chairman in 2013, Dale had served on the Club Board of Management, in various capacities, for 11 years. He also served on the Supporters Club Board for several seasons, 2004-05 to 2006-07. Still on club administration, Dale chaired the Building Committee from 2012-13 until 2015-16. He oversaw major building works on the northern end of the Clubhouse, where fine new Nipper premises were established with the help of a major Government Grant. In 2006 Dale was a member of the Australian Champion team in the Open Male Rescue Tube Rescue. The team was led by Jason O’Pray, in his last Aussies Gold Medal performance. Dale joined Liam Short and Nick Prass in the team. Meanwhile, he racked up an impressive return to Masters competition. At Aussies Masters, over at least 10 Seasons, Dale won 3 Gold and a Bronze in Ski Relay and Taplin Relay Events. Dale’s wife Amanda and children Brianna and Tiarnee have each played prominent roles in our Club. Dale and Amanda have invested much of their time in Patrolling, Training and in support of their two daughters, so it is very much a family affair. Brianna and Tiarnee are prolific Australian Surf Life Saving Champions. Brianna is also pursuing an International career in Canoeing, so far representing Australia in the Under 23 Team and very recently the Australian Open Kayak Team. Brianna and Tiarnee have each represented in Branch, Queensland and Australian Surf Teams. If elected, Dale will join dad Ian and brother Ashley as a Life Member of Maroochydore SLSC. He is recommended for election as our 88th Life Member.

Member.

8 Life Member Andrew Walpole

Andy joined Maroochydore SLSC on 18 October 1999 and gained his Bronze Medallion on 07 November 1999. (Now there’s a quick learner, soon to become a slick trainer). Thus began a glittering career in Lifesaving Active Service and Instruction. Two generations of Maroochydore women and men have never known their Surf Club without Andy educating them in the finer points of rescue, Resuscitation, radios and signals. In only his second Season Andy was awarded as a member of the most efficient patrol; by Season #3 he was Patrol Vice Captain, then a Patrol Captain for the next 8 Seasons. For 4 of those years Andy ‘doubled’ as First Aid Officer and spent a total of 8 years as a member of the Board of Surf Lifesaving. Andy was elected Chief Training Officer in the 2009-10 Season. He served in that capacity for 4 Years. His teaching background informed his methods of clearly imparting surf Lifesaving knowledge to hundreds of our members. Andy continues to be a significant and willing training resource for our Club, especially at Proficiency time, throughout these last 6 Seasons after he retired as Chief Training Officer. Andy’s standards of excellence have been consistently recognised in our Club Awards: Terry Lane Memorial - Most Efficient Patrol - 4 Times. Jeanette Buckham Memorial - Best Patrol Captain - 3 Times Brian Davey Shield - Best Senior Club Person - once Tony Cruice Shield- Most Outstanding Member- once Vic Murphy Real Estate Trophy - Trainer of the Year - 3 Times. For a decade Andy was rarely off the podium at the Annual Dinner! Needless to say, Andy has earned countless SLSA Awards over the years. It would be remiss not to mention Andy’s career as a Masters ‘Beachie’, with 2 State Championships in Beach Relay and many podium finishes in the individual events over the past decade and a half. For his outstanding commitment to leadership of the training capacity within our Club, and for his exemplary record as an active Lifesaver, Andy Walpole is recommended for election as our 90th Life Member.

9 Life Member Michael Lafferty

Michael ‘Mick’ Lafferty first had contact with Maroochydore SLSC as a Nipper parent, and look what has happened over the past 20 years! Mick gained his Bronze on 10 December 2000, after joining the Club 2 months earlier. As a Nipper parent, Mick did a stint as Nipper Team Manager but by Season 2004-05 he had gained his Level 1 Surf Official Award. Mick became an able, dependable and unflappable Official, always prepared to fly the flag for our Club in that capacity. 2011-12 Season marked Mick’s 10 year Patrol Service. During that time he was awarded as a member of the Most Efficient Patrol (2000-01). Mick’s Level 2 Surf Official Award came along in the 2012-13 Season, closely followed by his 10 year Officials Award. It was then that Mick’s career as a Surf Official really took shape with State and Australian Championships appointments to positions such as Area Referee. In 2016-17 Season Mick’s hard work and talent was truly recognised, by his appointment as Carnival Referee of the Queensland Championships. It has been several generations since a Maroochydore member assumed such a high position in the Officials’ ranks of our State. Mick has now been State Championships Referee for 3 consecutive years, one of those appointments being at Maroochydore, an honour not lost on this loyal member. And this year, as in many others, Mick officiated at the Aussies as one of the most senior people and Area Referee. This nomination for Life Membership recognises that our Club benefits significantly from Michael Lafferty’s sustained contribution over the past 16 years as a Carnival Official, at all three levels of our Association. Mick holds 45 Surf Lifesaving Awards, underpinning a life dedicated to our Club and the Association in general. Mick’s wife Joyce has supported him throughout this outstanding career. All of their children were Nippers and patrolling Lifesavers at one time or another, and are very fine young people. Michael Lafferty is recommended for election as our 91st Life Member.

They absolutely did Maroochydore proud. Not only exceptional in the water, but also had the praise of the Australian coaches for their team focus; every single one of them stepped into positions they might not have normally done, such as Relays and Tube Rescues as well as their own specialist events. Special mention goes to Hayden Cotter who (after cleaning up his swim races) stepped into Ironman shoes when the 2 open team ironmen got food poisoning – we waited with bated breath for his Ski leg in the challenging conditions and he absolutely smashed it. Not bad for an open swimmer! Phoebe also showed her strength in the insane conditions, lapping the boy’s leg in the Ski Relays, and winning her Single Ski races; as did Adam, who won his single on the 3rd Test, and killed his Ironman legs across all three days. Joe and Zac also showed their strength and skill in the huge washing machine that was Durban Main Beach, with all contributing to the both Australian Teams bringing home the International Challenge Cup, the Tri-Nations Cup and the Trans-Tasman Cup.
