2 President’s Report

As I write this report, I reflect on the season and as the Northern Region Awards of Excellence are upon us I look through the list of names that have been accepted to move through to the finalists category. This in no way reflects the number of nominations that we as a club submit, but is an indicator of how we stack up against the rest of the clubs in the Region. This season being no different from any other I see we are well represented throughout all of the categories. To the finalists we wish you all good luck.

Once again a busy season was experienced by our guards. As I say every year, we just get busier & busier. With the growth in ’s population, let alone our local populous, our beach is being well used both on, in and off the water. The importance of our club to function across all areas efficiently & professionally has never been more important than the present and into the future. With a new club house on the horizon, the want has now rapidly turned into a need with both internal & external demands creating pressure on already compromised infrastructure. We have a building committee working hard to get our new building to Resource Consent. This will become reality in the very near future, then the real work begins with the raising of funds for Building Consent and the build.

Within our club, Orewa continues to be well represented in a number of Operational Committees and Boards, both Regionally and Nationally, a sign of a strong club. The strength I identify is that these members have been able to move forward from the club's committees, only made possible through the fact that we have a large number of members willing to give time and become involved at club management level. Our reliance on the entire membership to help run the club has never been more important as we continue to grow. I thank all of you for your commitment and support.

With Life Guarding the reason for our being, the size of our patrols reflect the increased demands on the beach and capability expected of our club. Again, this season we continued to patrol more than one beach and as always Orewa Beach in

3 its entirety. Some may comment that with a large membership we may need a larger area to patrol but I know that too many patrolling members is never enough, particularly with Auckland’s growth projected to continue. It is very encouraging to see the number of our older members, mainly nipper parents, training and sitting their Surf Awards, great to have an older element added to our patrolling base moving forward.

Surf Sport is our retention tool and analysis of data from the last few seasons on a Regional basis shows that it is essential that a good sport programme within a club is in place to bring through and retain our younger members. This works with our senior members and now our older members through the masters category adds another dimension. Sport helps to secure and retain our membership. With a new coach in place this season, we are ensured that a strong sport programme will continue, another part of the complex package that makes up a sustainable club in today's environment.

Increased size and profile within our community gives our sponsors and supporters exposure. With this support we can plan for the future enabling us to continue to give service to the community and indirectly assist in the building of valuable citizens. Our sponsors are a key component to our existence, which we do not take for granted and are grateful for. Our thanks goes to them all.

In closing thanks must go to Surf Life Saving and Surf Life Saving Northern Region for the guidance and governance provided to our movement. To our members, staff and parents, thank you to you all for your contribution and commitment to the Orewa Surf Life Saving Club through this past season.

Chairman’s Report

The 2014-2015 season has been another successful year for your club. That is thanks to the efforts of each and every one of you who make voluntary contributions to our overall good.

Firstly, I want to thank all our sponsors and donors. Without the generous support of a huge number of businesses and individuals, we would not be able to exist. I thank you all on behalf of all members for your support to our club.

I would also like to acknowledge the support and encouragement given by our local Member of Parliament (and Patron) Mark Mitchell and Julia Parfitt and the Hibiscus Bays Local Board of . Both Julia and Mark go out of their way to help the club whenever called on and it is appreciated.

While beach patronage and lifesaving incidents were down somewhat on recent years, it was still a busy lifeguarding season. Our lifeguards continue to provide a high quality service to the public – not just during regular patrolling hours but 24/7 all year round. Well done to all our lifeguards and instructors for delivering a quality service in our primary function – saving lives.

Specific and individual achievements are reported elsewhere in the Annual report so I will not dwell on those here. However, I would like to mention the following highlights:

- Wayne Franich was appointed to the International Life Saving Sport Commission as the New Zealand representative. This is a huge honour and a worthy reflection of the many years of experience and service that Wayne has given to sport and the high regard in which he is held both in New Zealand and internationally.

- the Junior club enjoyed it’s most successful year ever winning the overall points trophy at the Northern Region Age Group Champs and the coveted Kath and Eddie Millar Trophy. They then backed that result up by finishing third overall at the Ocean Athletes.

- Three of our members being selected in the New Zealand Youth Development squad

- our mighty Masters team winning the New Zealand Pool Champs.

- Six of our members representing Northern Region in the Trans Tasman series

The Board strives to ensure that we have enough resources and equipment to allow the club to run smoothly and to point us in the right direction for the future. That is a big task given the size of the club. I want to personally thank all the Board 5 members for their contribution during the year – much of the time they contribute is behind the scenes and invisible to most of you but their commitment to the club cannot be underestimated.

I would like to mention Warwick Sisson and Vickie Matich who both left the Board this year – thank you both for your contributions.

And following that, thank you to Benny Larsen and Andrea May who have slotted onto the Board to fill those vacancies.

There have also been several off Board changes in senior roles and thanks to those moving on and stepping up to help.

I believe that the club is in very good heart and our recent successes are just a platform for us moving into the future. We are fortunate to have a very large group of Junior parents actively involved with the club and now moving into senior management roles on various committees. You guys are the future of the club and are doing a great job for your children and the club. It is especially heartening to see a big number of Junior parents getting their Lifeguard Awards and getting involved in our lifesaving activities.

A highlight of the year was our formal Awards Dinner which celebrated the achievements of our members. Again congratulations to all the award winners and special mention to those who were granted awards for their long service:

Distinguished Service Award: Tom Burgess

Service Awards: Alexis McDermott Alaina Green Zac Franich Cam Lockie

A Northern Region Service Award was also presented to Benny Larsen.

Again, thanks to every member for helping to make this a successful season for your club and I look forward to seeing you all again next year.

John Chapman Chairman

6 Life Saving Report

This year as a Club, Orewa Lifeguards gave over 5000 hours back to the community in patrol time, performing 13 rescues, 125 first aids, and countless prevention actions involving over 2000 people. The numbers are quite staggering, and worthy of mention first up. The key is simple, everyone doing their bit. Thank you to all who gave their time freely to keep our beaches a great place to play.

For people to give up their time, they have to feel valued and also get a sense of enjoyment from the activity. The patrol captains this year did a great job of keeping members stimulated and challenged, through scenarios, training, fitness activities and varying the patrol activities. Over the past couple of years we have been trying to bring younger Patrol Captains through, backed by experienced Vice Captains, and the feedback is that we are on the right track. I have seen a lot of growth and maturity in these emerging leaders.

The Club exists to patrol the beach, and patrol must come first. The more you give, the more you get back. Simply turning up to patrol is not enough. Come ready, ready to save a life, ready to get involved, ready to do a little more. Why not this year, put yourself on a first aid course, learn a new skill or volunteer to take on some more responsibility in your patrol? You will be well rewarded.

I must thank the team of Instructors, in the various disciplines. Our instructors put a lot of energy into presenting interesting and dynamic courses that will set you up well for the skills required. They gave a huge amount of time, and take a lot of pride in their work. We also have new Instructors coming through. The quality, and sheer numbers of candidates going through is what drives all the lifesaving activities we do. Well done team. Congratulations to our newest lifeguards.

Remember, there is so much more to be a lifeguard than patrolling, it can lead to being a Regional Lifeguard, maybe working on the Jet Ski squad, event guarding, overseas exchanges, patrolling other beaches, and certainly a great thing to put on your CV for any job application. So, start thinking about where you want your lifesaving skills to take you, talk to some of the guards who have been involved in these great experiences and get started!

Finally, next year, the season will come around very quick once more. Keep watching for updates on training, patrol lists and patrol activities. Think about improving your skills and knowledge, and be prepared to step up just a little more.

Our lifeguards on the beach are the visible face of Orewa Surf Club, you do us proud.

Mark Fergus Chair of Life Saving

7 Senior Surf Sports Report

This past year has seen some great sporting results as well as some significant management changes within Surf Sports. I would like to thank the Surf Sports Committee, the athletes and support team for the time and effort put in to run the sports program. It has been a big year with the a number of athletes changing age groups, refinements in the management structure, new processes, reporting, etc.

This year also saw a change to the Head Coach and coaching structure. Gavin Elmiger has now completed his two year tenure with the Club and is now focusing on his NZ Canoe role. Zac Franich was appointed as the Clubs Head Coach in March. I would to thank Gavin for the work that he has done in developing the competing squad and wish Zac all the best in preparing the squad for the up- coming season.

Another significant change in the Sports Committee and structure has been Tony Olsen confirming his departure as the Team Manager. I wish to thank Tony for the work he has done over the last few years organising the events for the senior sport team. Tony has advised that he will still be seen on the beach as a carnival arena manager and or as a master’s competitor. Cameron Lockie and Michelle Taylor have taken on as a shared role as the Club’s Team Manager. I wish them all the best in the senior surf sports.

This year the Club was again generously supported by both current and new sponsors. With the help of these sponsors, the sports team received a new surf boat, canoe trailer, competition pop up tent, four single and a double ski and storage container. Additionally, we cannot forget our regular donors who helped with the up keep of our competition gear and transportation equipment. The new Fundraising Committee is working on building relationships with our sponsors to help secure new sports equipment in the future.

The surf sports results for the past year has been a bit of a mixed bag. The season started off promising with our Master’s wining the NZ Pool Championships last September. Prior to Christmas, 6 athletes from our Club were selected and competed for Northern Region in the Trans-Tasman competition. The Eastern and then Northern Regional Championships saw individuals and Teams perform very well. At the Nationals, Orewa was seen on the podium eight times including gold medals to Grace Kaihau and Stefan Powney. Tom Burgess performed well with a 3rd place Overall in the Masters 30 – 39 age group and then a day later receiving a bronze medal for his part in the Open Ski relay.

At the completion of the National Championships, Ella Drinnan, Grace Kaihau and Stefan Powney were named in the New Zealand Youth Development Squad. Subsequently Grace has been named in the New Zealand Youth Team to compete in Queensland in September.

It was unfortunate that unforeseen circumstances diminished the large squad preparing to compete at the 2015 Aussie Nationals. Eventually Stefan Powney and

8 James Scott were the only two travelling members of the Club. The Aussie Nationals are a large step up from our National Championships. James did particularly well by progressing through to the Grand Final of the U17 Ski Race and Quarter Final of the U17 Board Race. Stefan progressed very well through the field, but just missed out on the finals. The Club Day was again well fought and the level of competition is only rising in the U16 and U19 fields. This year at the Northern Region Awards of Excellence, three of the clubs athletes have been nominated for the final selection. I would to thank all that were involved in the last year, congratulate all who have stood out and attained excellence and wish all the best to Grace Kaihau, James Scott and Stefan Powney for the upcoming awards.

Junior Surf Report

This season has been the most successful sports season for Orewa Junior Surf Club in living memory of the club.

Orewa Junior Surf Club won the Cath and Eddie Cup this season, the first time in over 15 years. Similarly in the Northern Region Junior Championships, Orewa won a collective total of 18 Gold medals, 10 Silver medals and 11 Bronze medals gaining first place.

We also enjoyed an outstanding performance at National Level at Oceans15, coming 3rd overall - the best result we have ever had.

This amazing result was the culmination of great parent support, dedicated coaches, managers and committee members, and some very talented athletes.

Our success in the sports arena can be summarized as follows:

 1st - Northern Region Junior Champs  1st – Cath and Eddie Millar cup.  3rd - Oceans 15 - National Championships  Lucy Makaea (under 14 girls) won the twilight series for the season  Levi Ata - 1st equal U/14 Boys twilight series  Bernadette Doyle, Lucy Makaea, Xander Cuff, Levi Ata all finalists in the Under 14 sportsperson of the year award at the Northern Region Awards of Excellence.  Michael Johnston – finalist for Surf Coach of the Year at the Northern Region Awards of Excellence. 9 Unfortunately 2014/2015 sees the end of an era with Mike (Jock) Johnston finishing his last season with C group as he is moving up to help coach our U/16 squad. His knowledge of Surf Lifesaving skills is second to none at the club and his advice is sought after by parents, children and other coaches. He will be sorely missed by the Junior Club.

Through recognition of sponsorships, and proactive engagement of parents to the wider cause of the club, we have had an increase of over 18% in membership numbers. This can be seen as follows.

2013/2014 season 2014/2015 season SPRATS AND TADPOLES 184 212 A GROUP 89 131 B GROUP 63 62 C GROUP 56 73 TOTAL JUNIOR 392 478

We have enjoyed a good level of interest from Junior parents for coaching and official courses as a result of in-house education at younger age group levels. This has been achieved through early education to new club members and parents.

We have identified our next key area of development in Junior surf, that being the support and implementation of a tangible succession plan for coaches and managers moving through the Age groups, as well as a need for more robust communication to, and from, our members through a variety of channels, particularly as the club continues to grow. This started with our end of season feedback meeting which was well received by all. The 2015/2016 season will see the introduction of an induction day, off beach, on the first day of training to enable better communication with our membership.

We have built on our focus of building core safety skills within our membership, with a good number of athletes gaining their 200m patch.

The Junior committee has continued building on its successful fundraising activities delivering again the Season Welcome beach party, Quiz night, weekly BBQ, the catering for the Northern Regional Junior Age group Champs, and bar coordination for the Senior prize giving. And continue to look for new and innovative ways to support and fund our growing membership and increasing role within the community.

The Junior Camp continues to grow year on year. This season saw it being held a week earlier than normal which resulted in well prepared athletes at the Waipu Competition the week after. The participation, involvement and fun enjoyed by all at camp symbolises our approach to the junior surf programme. We look forward to another successful season next year.
