It is great to see Metropolitan Caloundra Management for the efforts they have made in the past hosting such a well run carnival and the benefits that year in sometimes difficult circumstances. come back to the club are tremendous.
It has been extremely pleasing to see the bulk of the Board of Management carrying on in their positions and providing a level of stability to the ongoing direction in which the club is heading. We have now also embarked on a strategic planning process to map out the future direction of the club which will prove invaluable to the club maintaining its position as a leader in surf lifesaving.
I would like to thank Simon Richards, Deb Hoogvliet and Kay Blokkeerus for their commitment and energy in Club Captain Kirsten Phillips and other members meet Governor- keeping the administrative and financial side of the club General Michael Jefferies on Australia Day running over the past 12 months. This task is becoming increasingly more complex and time consuming and we will are looking at employing staff to reduce the time asked of our volunteers.
Kirsten Phillips deserves a special mention for the time and dedication she has put into the club over the past 12 months. After originally taking on the role of Vice Captain she was thrown in the deep end when Jody Pehrson moved interstate and Kirsten took over the role of Club Captain. She has worked tirelessly in this position and has made a number of changes to various aspects of lifesaving which will be of long term benefit to the club.
In the surf sports arena the club has continued to improve in all areas, including swim, beach, craft, ironman, surf boats and junior activities. This was highlighted by the clubs third placing in Branch in U16- Open and our sixth placing in the XXXX Premiership. Team Manager Simon Richards once again led our Easter patrols

Thanks to all those aside from the trainers who have helped out with the camps, from the cooks and coordinators to the den mothers and fathers. Without you these camps would not be possible.

Looking forward to the coming year, there are exciting things afoot. As the club is looking to have a jet ski based at King's Beach for the next season, plans are already under way for many courses in the off-season, so that the many members who have expressed their interest in becoming a jet ski driver can obtain the necessary prerequisites.

Annual Report | 2003 / 2004 Season | 25 Club Supervisor
members, not such a bad thing. Our resuscitation standard needs to be raised.
Should I be reappointed as club supervisor I intend to Tom spend more time training the R&R teams started this HOLMES season, and with the junior and senior clubs in the lifesaving competitions. For me this means not officiating at carnivals as there is not enough time for both.
As you know I swim almost every day and I would really This season has flown by but was enjoyable. Again we had like to see more ACTIVE members out in the water. That is a number of members gaining additional awards as well as what surf lifesaving is about. quite a few new members gaining their Bronze Medallion. As a club we lack some depth across most areas. Congratulations! Engaging some of the older members is one way other "The system" is changing and the interim period has been clubs have built that depth. Maybe we should give it a try? rather painful. SLSA has become a registered training Tom Holmes organisation (RTO) which brings into line with the national training framework. In doing so the awards we gain as lifesavers can be now recognised in the workplace. This will be beneficial to some members in their field of employment.
Being an RTO means some changes in the way we train and examine. It also meant that every member wanting to be a trainer or examiner (now termed assessor) had to have a qualification to train and or assess, something that some members found hard to accept. The upside is that qualification is recognised in other sports and in the workplace. Patrolling over the Easter holidays, from left, Dan Creedy, Dylan Newbiggin, Aaron Jones, Sheridan Harper, and Sonia Barraud Not only has this had an impact on our training but it had members thinking about the structure under which we work as an association. Accordingly I congratulate Simon Richards on his forward thinking and on the proposal he put forward to the Sunshine Coast Branch for a restructure in the manner in which the boards of lifesaving and surf sports worked. That proposal has been accepted and expanded in a proposed new representation structure and operation of these boards.
As training packages come on line in the coming season we will hopefully see a more consistent approach to the assessment of awards albeit more rigorous and more paperwork for the assessor.
This will impact across proficiencies and whilst it may seem tough on volunteers, the performance level will by necessity be higher. All this means for members is that they train for the swim components and practice for the Tom Holmes gives Gemma Newbiggin and Shona McClelland the run resuscitation component so that they present as competent down on the swim course at the Club Championships

The four Australian title medals were all won by members of the youth development squad. Their achievements have already been previously acknowledged and I would like to single out some other Mark significant efforts such as Lance Hipkin's and Owen GREGG Hall's IRB contributions, Owen and Jemma Tresise in the Branch Patrol Competition and Kristle Martin's coaching of Junior R & R teams. Also certain members helped as Junior Activity "Water Safety". Once again there were a variety of social activities for Special thanks to Roger Newbiggin and Grant McKenzie youth members, culminating in the end of season trip to as Under 19 and Cadet officers and also to Debbie Fingal. Movie nights once again proved a hit although Jones, Michelle McKenzie, Lindy Kosior and Tess Martin at the time I queried the suitability of "Jason v Freddy", for their tireless efforts as "dorm mothers". Finally thanks and "Pirate of the Caribbean" and "American Pie - the to Barry Weatherall and Donna Wright for tolerating our Wedding" were well received. The annual dinner for the efforts at the clubhouse. I hope everyone had fun! Board of Management took on a different theme this year and seafood should probably not be included next Mark Gregg year.
A venture to Sydney for the Australia Day weekend proved a pleasant change from the serious nature of the XXXX Surf Series. Highlights such as a ride on the Manly ferry, walking through Chinatown during New Year celebrations and celebrity spotting (I will never forget the sight of Tony Bonner sitting on the Manly SLSC or Rex Mossop allowing me to park in the official Manly car park) make this venture a possible annual consideration.
The end of year trip to Fingal was blessed with perfect weather (a pleasant change from previous visits to Rainbow Beach and Point Lookout). A thoroughly enthusiastic group of Under 14s inspired all members to Junior members kick back at the Aussie Titles enjoy themselves. Sadly we didn't unearth any hidden talent in "Fingal Idol", but I believe one team's attempt at the Bee Gees' "Staying Alive" made the late Maurice Gibb turn in his grave. Special mention should go to young Grant Martin for his attempts to croon over an Enrique Iglesias tune and the touching duo of Emily Roberts and Robert Gregg who reduced everyone to tears with their version of Delta Goodrem's "Born to Try".
Youth development members once again excelled in many fields of surf lifesaving this year. A review of the patrol hours log will see the top three places being filled by members of this age group. Major contributions were also made by many other youth members who despite other commitments made wonderful Merry Christmas - Grant McKenzie and Mark Gregg with Santa aka contributions on the beach.

To start I must thank the terrific group of juniors and cadets in our club - you are all a great asset to the future of this club. I would like to congratulate all members who gained their bronze and SRC over the season. At club championships - from left, Amy Blokkeerus, Jess Roberts, All members who competed at all the carnivals over the Amy Gregg and Phoebe Kosior year did our club proud and I would like to congratulate the Under 16 girls swim team who won bronze at the Aussies. We did not have many sleep-overs this season due to carnivals but thank you to all who helped out. The end of year camp this year was at Fingal and what a great weekend it was. A huge thank you to all the kids for making the camp so much fun, and an even bigger thank you to all the adults who attended namely - Debbie Jones, Tess Martin, Lindy Kosior, Liz Dawes and my wife Michelle for their outstanding abilities in the food department. Also thanks to Roger Newbiggin, Steve Martin and Simon Richards for their cooking. Lastly, I would like to thank Mark Gregg for his singing abilities - he has a way of clearing the room. Looking forward to seeing the Under 14s joining the cadets. Grant McKenzie Having some fun at Fingal Idol - the youth development karaoke night

learned some very valuable lessons. I hope to take those lessons with me and build on these to improve our Surf Awareness programs and Sunday morning activities for next season. On the Surf Awareness side Karen of things, I must thank Club Captain, Kirsten Phillips, BRAY for her enthusiasm in having the patrols become involved in the program and have the kids learn from the "experts" - great work to all involved.
The age managers provided yet again, an impressive It's hard to believe that the season is over for another display of organization and ideas in keeping the children year.

Congratulations to throughout the year, I'm sure he would cringe at times Zoe Sharplin, Amy Blokkeerus and Natalie Davies for when my number came up on his mobile or he saw an that achievement.

[Full results of all carnivals are stead to know that you will continue to patrol the beach contained elsewhere in the report]. and hopefully help us out early in the season next year if we're in trouble. And thanks to Liz and Graham for The State Titles were held at Kings Beach this year, 2nd keeping this age group active and involved. Another to 4th April, 2004. The conditions were quite challenging and enabled our children to demonstrate the skills that had acquired or improved upon over the past year. This year the qualification process was changed where only the Under 11 age group and teams events were required to qualify. All other age groups were open nomination. We had a team of 39 children that attended the State Titles and had some fantastic results both from a medal and a "guts and determination" perspective. All children that competed gave their best effort and supported their fellow team mates, with some children surprising even themselves with their results.

Annual Report | 2003 / 2004 Season | 57 Supporters Club President
The Supporters Club once again paid a management fee of $100,000 to the Caloundra RSL which has been donated by the RSL back to the Surf Club. These funds are being set aside to assist with the impending redevelopment of the club. We probably thought the same 12 months ago - but we now believe the club has reached its maximum potential with the Matthew facilities currently available. Any growth in profitability with the RICHARDS current facilities can only be incremental at best. For the first time we are in a position where our success rather than our desire dictates that we need a new clubhouse. It gives me great pleasure to present to our members the 2004 With this success also comes the ability to negotiate in real Annual Report for the Metropolitan Caloundra Surf Life Saving terms with builders, Council and financiers in the knowledge Supporters Club. that a new clubhouse is a serious and achievable outcome. The result for the year has been outstanding - a net profit of In the past twelve months we have prepared a detailed $210,357 after depreciation, donations and management fees.

Thank you to my fellow committee members this year for your I would like to congratulate Operations Manager Julie Richards, support and dedication to the club and its ongoing Assistant Manager Careen Prior and the rest of the team who development.

The past 12 months have proven to be very progressive Tony Costain A.C.C.M. in the continual rebirth of the club. Systems, Group General Manager procedures and I believe service and quality standards are also now well embedded.
Financially, I also believe your club is now in a very sound financial position, especially in direct comparison to two years ago.
In relation to the trading results food and beverage have both continued on from last year with significant business growth.
Bar sales of $676,476 produced a growth of $60,449 or 9.81% on the previous year, while catering sales of $608,063 produced a magnificent growth of $126,913 or 26.40%.
Gaming was also positive at $3,905,944, a growth of
$877,906 or 29%. Masters competitor Stephen Maitland This resulted in a very pleasing net cash operating profit of $381,199 up from last year's $192,588 by $188,642 or an annual cash operating profit growth of 98% on last year (prior to depreciation, loan repayments and other non-cash operating expenses).
These results would not have been possible without firstly, the direct efforts of Julie Richards and her highly dedicated team and secondly, the equally high quality working relationship between Matt Richards, his Committee and Club Management.
Congratulations to Matt and Simon and the rest of the guys - the level of support you have given to us has been exceptional.
