ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
North Cronulla SLSC is proud to acknowledge our Sponsors’ contribution – both financially and materially. Without sponsorship our task of providing viable Life Saving Service to the Community would be difficult. The funding provided by the new Sponsors and our existing Sponsors enables the Club to support Members by mitigating running and building costs – as well as providing Surfcraft, Boats, IRB motors, competition and training wear. So when you get a chance please, support our sponsors. The club was active in applying for Grants again this year in a very competitive field with good success. Thanks go to our generous Members and supporters of the Club who have made cash and in kind donations throughout the year to support the Club, Carnivals and Sections – as listed in the report.

We sadly lost one of the greats of our discipline and club - Harry Brown, had a change up in captaincy moving to a co-captain approach, a massive push on the education and training front and once again the IRB Racing Australian Titles dished out brutal conditions, with the majority of the event not completed.
As the primary aim of an IRB Section is Lifesaving, providing effective water safety for both patrol and competition (seniors and JAG), education & training of our members has been a core focus, putting through approx. 50 new crewpersons and 12 new IRB drivers this season over multiple training courses.
As we again had the pleasure of hosting our Argentinian brethren this year, roughly 30 of the 50 new crewpersons trained at North Cronulla were made up by the 2 exchange groups. These highly motivated World IRB Team individuals trained & passed with flying colours despite the language club can compete, often being first in the IRB Taplin Relay, an event barrier which was easily overcome by on the beach in the morning and incorporating 4 crews, 16 people total. their enthusiasm, shared love of surf last to leave.

BOAT SECTION In 1957, North Cronulla’s Junior Boat Crew of E. Gilligan, D. Ives, R. Green, N. Oliver and Harry Brown (RIP), squashed into the back of a truck and towed their boat across the Nullarbor to the west coast of Australia to win North Cronulla’s first Australian Junior Boat Gold medal. Sixty one years later we broke the drought to do it again!
Our 2019 Junior boat crew ‘The Young Guns” – Ben Jessop, Hugo Langton, Logan Barling and Will Fleming, swept by Mick Hawkins, brought home GOLD from North Kirra beach. This talented crew have had a stellar couple of years under the guidance of Mick and this year they topped it off with the ultimate prize. Congratulations boys! The club is very proud of you!
This year, 21 crews headed north to the Australian Titles at Broadbeach with the hope of success and trepidation of the conditions we might face. We certainly had great success, but due to unfavourable conditions a lot of crews were eliminated due to mother nature. Conditions play a major part in victory and are always one element we cannot control. Whilst the Aussies is our major goal, it is by no means how we measure our success as rowers and as a section.
WHAT IS THE SECRET TO OUR SUCCESS? We have had many reasons to celebrate this season, We have a huge pool of talented, determined including but not restricted to, the list below: competitors. Old and new!
We have at our disposal the best equipment, • Three crews won Aussies • Our Open women came kindly donated by sponsors and maintained medals, including one GOLD second and two of our open by a self-less bunch of hard-working men and women. - ‘Young guns”, Silver - male crews tied for third. “Funky’s U23 ladies” and We are respectful of each other and those who Master’s Bronze - “Blueys • North Cronulla won the contribute to our section (coaches, sponsors, Vets” overall point score for the officials, supporters) South Coast series. • The Steve Warren Hogs We willingly help other clubs on the beach.

They give Mark Lea (Sweep); Hayley Lea generously of their time to ensure we have access to up to date programs and skills to allow our rowers to reach their full potential. Paul ‘Lizard’ Lawson returned once again to assist the North Cronulla Boat section with his experience and expertise. Lizard offered his time up this season to massage a few sore muscles under the boat tent during carnivals and he also introduced us to the benefits of weekly Yoga and certain poses and breathing exercises that were beneficial to race preparation. Greg ‘Wommy” Julian worked on the water sweeping and coaching several crews and helped out in a big way with our weekly maintenance with Purds. It is a pleasure to have these gentlemen back.
Funky’s Under 23s Women Crew OFFICIALS We are not able to compete if we do not have officials at every carnival, thankfully, Frank Schreuder, Donna, Dave, Ron and Natasha, Kim and Dean Glasson, Linda Hawkins and Tracey Urquhart represent the North Cronulla Surf Club Boat Section.

SWEEPS I say it every year: ‘We are so lucky to have the best sweeps in the business” (myself excluded). They make it look easy; I can assure you, it is not! They selflessly give up their ‘free’ time to train several crews, morning and night, through winter and summer. Without their input on major decisions around the running of our boat section we would not be able to exist. As the sweeps know their crews better than anyone else, they have written their reports below.

MASTER’S REPORT The North Cronulla Masters were a bit light on for individual competitors (and related teams) this season but were more than compensated for this with an abundance of successful master’s boat crews (as always of late).
There is no doubt as a club we need to concentrate some more energies here & look to rebuild this section further, both in numbers & teams. This is easier said than done, as many have competed previously for many years, have families & life does get “in the road”. A dedicated Master’s Captain is definitely needed!
Our regular stalwarts & fierce competitors of this section (outside of boats) were: Shane Whitaker, Warwick Cavanagh, and Gladys Honer.
Shane, Warwick & Gladys all backed up for another season of Master’s competition representing the ‘blue & gold’. All 3 achieved some sensational results at the big 2 annual events, which are highlighted below:
