SECTION 3 EDUCATION

EDUCATION DIRECTOR’S REPORT 1 The 2019-20 season for the Education and Training section was a very busy, but a very successful and rewarding season.

Total number of all awards for the season was over 730 (2017-18, 870), a decrease from the previous year. This decrease is a direct result of the cancellation of several awards later in the season due to the decision by the Club to protect our members and their families from the Corona virus. Congratulations to all who successfully completed their award during the season, you all worked hard and well 2 deserved of your award.

North Cronulla SLSC is very privileged to have such an outstanding group of committed and dedicated Trainers, Assessors, Facilitators, and Helpers who give up a lot of their own time and resources in ensuring that each candidate is trained to a very high standard. This high standard is evident to the quality of our members on Patrol.

I would like to give huge thank you to the wonderful Office staff for their fantastic administrative support. I would also like to thank the Club’s Management and Board of Directors who have provided great support for the Education team.

Our preparation leading into Aussies had both Damien and myself excited with what could have been. Especially for our 2nd year 19s who we had no doubt would have dominated the beach in this age group. Also, for our competitive first year 17s who unfortunately missed their first Open Aussies Carnival. With the cancellation of both Aussies and Worlds this year, our athletes will all have unfinished business and will look forward to getting back into the action next Season. I have no doubt that the Beachies will continue to train hard, grow and improve under the guidance of NC legend Damien Bulian.

Thank you to our wonderful athletes and families and support volunteers who all do an amazing job behind the scenes – Barb, Jodee, Linda, Geoff, Glenn-Marie, Donna and our Competition Director Peter Moyle, you are all very much appreciated. Thanks also to our sponsors, Greg Gilbert Real Estate and Guzman Y Gomez for their valuable ongoing support.

BOARD SECTION’S REPORT Well what another crazy season, with a finish none of us saw coming. Where do I even start, Interclub, Branch and Aussies all cancelled.

54 I’d love to go through every result from every carnival as you all deserve a mention, but we would fill this whole book up. I’m so proud of you all as you should all be of yourselves. But some stand out moments for me were:

Lifesaver Relay where we once again qualified for State and finished an impressive 3rd place in good company, Zach Roja, Zac Diefenbach, Mitch O’Loughlin, and Jake Moses.

Sophie Crawford representing Sydney Branch at the Interbranch championships.

Emily Maythers had a killer season and finishing off with a Gold in the Swim, Silver in Ski, and Board and Iron final in her last year of U19s.

In the U19 males we had all 3 in the board final Jake Woodger, Kai Withers and Zach Roja. The boys also made Board Relay and Taplin finals and Kai and Zach finished off the year with Silver in the Board Rescue.

My last but not least stand out would have to be when Ryan McGrath won the NSW U17 Ironman. Ryan had an outstanding year dominating most board races and keeping up with some great competition in his Iron events. The excitement on the beach and under the North Cronulla tent when he crossed the line was incredible and was a special moment for everyone.

Finally, I would like to thank our sponsors for another great season - Greg Gilbert Real Estate and Guzman y Gomez at Cronulla

Thank you to the NC chargers support team, Jodee calo and Barb Maythers who do such an incredible job behind the scenes, to all the coaches Adam Calo, Jake Moses, Tom Rampoldi, Pete Moyle and a big shout out to Jake Young stepping up and helping out our younger paddlers in his own time. Special thanks to all our parents and supporters who help out all season from towing trailers, to putting up tents. I’d like to personally thank you all for your hard work and dedication as the section could not run without all of you.

I hope to see you all next year for an even bigger and better year.

It was a celebration that will be noted in the club’s history books.

THE 2020 GEORGE BASS MARATHON BY BARRY SCHUETRUMPF The 2020 George Bass Marathon commenced on Sunday the 29th December 2019 with two North Cronulla Crews lining up to face the starter’s gun. The defending Champions from 2018 in the Open Women’s Division and the defending Champions from 2018 in the Men’s Veteran Division.

The Open Women Crew had three changes from 2018 with Hally Chapman, Paris Austin and Tara Lal joining forces with original crew members Cass McDonald, Georgia Kennedy, Kylie Roodenrys, Nicola Barlow and Stephanie Roberts. This crew was once again swept by Mark “Bluey” Lea.

The Men’s Super Vets Crew consisted of original members from 2018, John Leard, Mick Crutcher, Andrew Smalley and Michael Bofinger, with Bof’s great mate, Matt Barrington, from the ’94 Open Aussie Gold Crew, and the remaining members of Bof’s legendary Vets Crew, Vaughn Meldrum, Wayne Turner and David Gregson, all attempting the ‘The Bass” for the first time. This crew was swept by the irrepressible ‘Big Wave Dave” Young.

The first leg of this seven day surfboat marathon was raced from Batemans Bay to Moruya and both North Cronulla Crews performed brilliantly with the Open Women taking a valiant second place behind a very impressive Moruya Crew and the Super Vet Men crushing their opposition to record a first place. They were the first from all divisions to reach Moruya, taking out the “Nick Dixon Trophy” for being the first boat to pass Broulee.

Day Two, the 30th December 2019, saw the crews race from Moruya to Tuross Heads and again the dominance of the Super Vets was evident with them again taking out first place. The girls continued their brave tussle against the much younger and very fit Moruya Crew to record a second place once again with a noticeable decrease in the winning margin. The North Cronulla Crews were getting stronger by the day. Bring on New Year’s Eve and the third leg!!

Early morning, 4am, on the 31st December 2019 and the Moruya High School Campsite was surrounded by a red glow, eerily etched in the pre-dawn sky. There would be no racing today. The many amazing officials, organisers and support staff of this great event were locals of this beautiful area and their livelihoods and properties were under threat, a threat on a scale that had never been experienced.

Ultimately, the decision to continue or cancel the event was taken out of the Committee’s hands. The safety of the South Coast Communities, all competitors, Officials, Supporters and families was of grave concern.

66 over 12 years to accomplish, as it requires 16 competitors (5 teams) to all be at the top of their game at the same time. It is also a reflection on the previous captain, Joel Eaton’s massive effort in recruiting and training a team that has gone on to have up to 30 competitors, which is 2 to 3 times larger than many other IRB racing teams.

We achieved 4th overall in the NSW Premiership Series, finally cracked the top 3 at the NSW State Titles (breaking our curse of 4th at that event), and massive 3rd in 23s and 4th in Open divisions at the IRB Australian Titles (results summarised in the senior competition results pg ).

Joel and I are incredibly proud of the team, and the efforts the competitors have gone through to achieve such monumental results, North Cronulla typically being in the top 5 at State level and top 10 to 15 at National level in previous seasons.

Thanks to all the organisers and officials that volunteer their time to help us compete and better our rescue skill set, especially Tony De Francesco, Megan Kessey, Darren Thorne & Jarrod Tranter.

Again, all our success would not be possible without our amazing sponsors. A big thank you to All Vehicle Restraints, Sue & Alan Freeman, Cronulla RSL, Cronulla Smash Repair, Ripcurl Cronulla, Drainage Construction, Neptune Marine and our major sponsors, Fairfield RSL, Caltex, Tradies and the Holt Group.

Our Sponsors help to ensure the safety of our beaches and our success in the competition arena. Once again, thank you – we look forward to our continuing partnership.

Special thanks go to Jamie Primmer & Geoff Budd for their valuable advice and support; the Lewis Family; my parents, Sue & Alan Freeman; Lucy Green for handling social media; Bobby Lovell; Joel Eaton; Graeme Lanham, Mitch Correia & Curtis Cameron for doing all the heavy lifting, and Kate Janssen (for putting up with me spending so much time on surf club).

We normally start this report off with an impressive tally of Australian gold medals.

Unfortunately like all Surf Sports, and sports in general our season was cut short by Covid19 with not only the cancellation of Sydney Branch, but of the Australian Championships impacting thousands of competitors.

It has been heartbreaking to put so much time and effort training all season and have it end this way. Especially for our new U19, Open and U17 so looking forward to their first Open Australian Championships and our last year U19s whom had a much greater chance at an Aussies Gold before moving into a more challenging pool of Opens. Our saving grace an exciting result in our Junior section where we have a new photo gracing the NSW Champions wall of fame in the Nipper Room of U13 competitors Lilly Thearle and Kirra Hodge our newest U13 2 Person champions.

1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements cover North Cronulla Surf Life Saving Club Incorporated (the club) as an individual entity. North Cronulla Surf Life Saving Club Incorporated is a not-for-profit association incorporated in New South Wales under the Associations Incorporation Act 2009.

Basis of Preparation

This financial report is a special purpose financial report prepared in order to satisfy the financial reporting requirements of the Associations Incorporation Act 2009 and the Charitable Fundraising Act 1991 and associated regulations. The committee has determined that the club is not a reporting entity because there are no users dependent on general purpose financial statements. The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. The functional and presentation currency of the club is Australian dollars. The following significant accounting policies, which are consistent with the previous period unless stated otherwise, have been adopted in the preparation of this financial report.

Accounting Policies

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at-call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Trade and Other Receivables

Accounts receivable are recognised initially at the transaction price (i.e. cost) and are subsequently measured at cost less provision for impairment. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets.

At the end of each reporting period, the carrying amount of accounts receivable and other receivables are reviewed to determine whether there is any objective evidence that the amounts are not recoverable. If so, an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the income and expenditure statement.

NORTH CRONULLA SURF LIFE SAVING CLUB INCORPORATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIALABN STATEMENTS 16 613 859 423 FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2020 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2020

Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs are assigned on a first-in first-out basis.

Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE)

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumalted depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the aquisition of the items.

Leasehold improvements and office equipment are carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment.

Leasehold improvements are amortised over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant & equipment over the useful life as follows: Class of Fixed Asset Useful Life Office Equipment 3-5 Years

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. An item of property, plant & equipment is derecognised upon disposal of when there is no future economic benefits to the association. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss.

Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

Non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.

128 NORTH CRONULLA SURF LIFE SAVING CLUB INCORPORATED ABN 16 613 859 423

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2020

Trade and Other Payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the club prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the club and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Donations Donations are recognised at the time the pledge is made.

Grants Grants are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. Interest Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. Other revenue Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the Statement of Financial Position are shown inclusive of GST.

The net amount of GST recoverable or payable to the Australian Taxation Office is included in other receivables of other payables in the Statement of Financial Position. Cash flows are presented on a gross basis.

Income Tax

As the club is a charitable institution in terms of subsection 50-5 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, as amended, it is exempt from paying income tax.

2 Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

The club determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.
