101st ANNUAL REPORT SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 7 President’s Report What an epic year it’s been at South Curly, and it’s hard to believe we did so much in a single season. In addition to all the usual events, our first celebration was the 100th anniversary Ball at ICMS Manly on 1st September 2018. It was a memorable event, with representation from our own past going back up to 60 years. The very next day back at the Club, we christened a new surf boat, the Kevin “Spook” Moffat. Kevin is an icon, having been active since completion of his Bronze medallion in 1965.

Planning for our 100th anniversary carnival started months in advance, and culminated with the event on 20th October 2018. Amongst the many events was the famous Curly 1000 Beach Sprint, with prize money for both the fastest male and female sprinters. Many dignitaries were entertained on the Club House deck in perfect conditions. Thanks to everyone involved in making it a special day for South Curly. If not for Steve Hall’s inspiration I doubt the event would have occurred.

As in past years, our Cadets had an annual start of season trip up North to Treachery at Seal Rocks. This was another successful venture and helps to motivate this group to be involved while doing the activities they enjoy. Thanks to Al Saunders and all others who help run this group.

Operationally, this season we ran with 25 patrols, with each rostered patrol being a half day. Each Patrol completes 5 or 6 half-day patrols for the season. I would like to personally thank everyone who put in the hours and kept our beach open and safe. This season we had 380 junior members, and 30 cadets. Our 274 patrolling members makes us the 8th strongest club in the Northern Beaches based on Patrol numbers.

The involvement of Nipper parents, plus the progression of Nippers through to cadets, juniors and seniors is one of the most significant reasons why our Club is so sound, and such a great place to be involved. This year was especially good, with not only age managers, parents and cadets becoming bronze holders but also former nippers and cadets now rowing surf boats as well.

Our education and training continued soundly this season under management by Mike Le Geyt. The effort he puts in is amazing, and the team all worked well together. Special mentions go to Sue Hanley and Natalie Neary for their work with the Bronze squads. My personal thanks to the entire training group, as they just keep making our standards higher. We also collected branch awards for Mike as ICMS Assessor of the Year, and our Club won the ICMS most outstanding club for education.

South Curly is famous for competition in surf boats, and this year was as good as ever. Our experienced sweeps are leading new crews on to great heights and winning against much older and more experienced crews. At the State carnival we achieved 2 gold, plus one at the ASRL carnival. At the Aussies we had 9 crews competing. We cleaned up in the new short course event by taking gold for both men’s and women’s events. Our U19 girls also took out gold in their final, and when you consider they are young enough to compete in the same event for another two years you realise what a special achievement this was.

8 SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 101st ANNUAL REPORT Our Ripper Nipper program continued this season, and I would like to thank Mona Vale SLSC for hosting the Rippers carnival again this season. This is clearly a growing and successful event. Many thanks to all the dedicated parents and helpers who make this so successful.

Each year South Curl Curl hosts an Ocean Swim from South Curl Curl to Freshwater. This year we had perfect conditions which saw 215 competitors across four starts. I would like to commend all those involved in organising this event for their great work. This is our largest fund-raising event so it’s important that we keep it going strong.

This year saw a newly created Ocean Swim called the ‘Toby Flemming Swim Towards Wellness’ grow from last year’s 14 swimmers to 50 swimmers this year. It also became an officially recognised SLS event for the first time. The swim was from Shelly Beach at Manly to South Curl Curl, a distance of around 4km. Rather than being a race, it is a community event with the primary objectives of raising awareness and funds to support those battling depression and mental health challenges. Following the swim, all were invited to the Club House for some lunch and to listen to some interesting guest speakers. This event is expected to continue and grow year on year.

Another unusual event for our club this year was a cricket day. It was inspiring to see how many got involved and the strange combination of unusual dress with some serious competition. I was on patrol at the time, but the photos I saw were inspiring.

I would like to make a special mention of all those who work behind the scene to keep the Club operating so smoothly. Lisa Settree deserves a special mention as she is behind the core operations of the Club. For all those who take on volunteer roles in the various committees, this is what makes South Curly such a great place and a pleasure to be involved. The old adage that many hands make light work is so true.

Finally I need to thank our sponsors, who have been instrumental not just in helping purchase essential equipment but also in being involved in and around our Club. The most significant of these is Freshwater Community Bank, a branch of Bendigo Bank. They have continued to support us for many years now, and we really appreciate the close working relationship. Also contributing is Allan Hall Business Advisors who sponsored the Ocean Swim, Sydney Beach Homes, and Seven Miles Coffee.

10 SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 101st ANNUAL REPORT Secretary's Report South Curly’s record of safe and successful operation continues unbroken. Thank you again this year to all members, both at the front line and behind the scenes, for your contribution throughout the season. SLS- NSW is now recognised as a NSW Emergency Services organisation due to its unique capability in pro- tecting the NSW coastline. Most drownings occur outside of patrolled areas or times – SLSNSW has developed a support operations capacity to respond.

Thank you to Club Captain Jodi, Kevin, the Patrol Captains and patrolling members for keeping the beach safe. Congratulations to Peter Allen for winning the PC of the Year award, a great endorsement of the leadership necessary in this key role. Also thanks to Scott and Chuck for their work running the IRBs this season – the transition to Tohatsu motors is now complete and has added significantly to the sections workload this season. Well done to the Campbell family for performing a difficult out of hours rescue off the headland.

Well done to CTO Mike Le Geyt and the many Training Officers who run the Bronze Medallion courses, advanced courses and proficiencies throughout the season. Our Patrol numbers and depth of qualifica- tions continues to meet and usually exceed Branch requirements. Congratulations to Mike for winning the Branch Assessor of the year award. Congratulations also go to Sam Le Geyt on achieving his Gold Medal- lion, one of a select few in the Club to achieve this award.

Thank you to Nipper Chairman Saul Carroll and all Age Managers and many helpers who ran Junior Activi- ties this season. The camaraderie within the nippers group is a credit to all those involved. On the social front, the Sunday morning BBQs are always popular and the end of season trip at new venue Racecourse Beach was successful.

Well done to all members who represented South Curly at competition during the season. South Curly had a very successful year on the water culminating in our boat crews achieving medals in most of their events at the Aussies and becoming the best performing surf boat club in Australia – a fantastic achievement. Perhaps the new surf boat (Kevin ‘Spook’ Moffat) helped in achieving this success.

The South Curly cafe continues to be a wonderful community asset and is well patronised by the public. The café including all fitout and equipment is owned by SCC SLSC. Day to day operation of the business is undertaken by the Manager, Brendan. Recently the Club has invested in additional infrastructure for the café and the business is now well resourced with appropriate equipment and storage space. All dividends payed by the café to the SLSC go toward running our Club. The cafe pays Council around $15,000 pa for the use of the outdoor dining area.

The South Curl Curl SLSC Club building is subject to a 20 year lease, with Council, which concludes in August 2020. This lease is granted under the NSW Crown Lands Act where Council is the Trustee of the Reserve area. Crown Lands have developed a standard lease template for use by SLSCs on Crown Land. This is intended to provide consistent lease terms and security to SLSCs whilst simplifying any negotiations necessary with Council. The replacement lease will be under the Local Government Act.

101st ANNUAL REPORT SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 11 The value of lifesaving services provided to the community by SLSCs has been estimated at several millions of dollars for each SLSC every year. This community benefit is provided by a largely self-funding volunteer organisations at minimal cost to Government.

Thanks also go to those members who organise our many club events - ocean swims and social activities; our office support, Lisa & Jenny, and resident officers, Charlotte & Mike. Thanks to the many local, Branch and State sponsors whose assistance is essential to the operation of the Club. Thank you to Council for the much needed remediation of the First Aid room during last off-season.

Finally, thank you to all committee members for their service throughout 2018-19 in what has been a busy and productive season. T

12 SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 101st ANNUAL REPORT 101st ANNUAL REPORT SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 13 Club Captain’s Report Yet another busy patrolling season at South Curly has come to an end. I would like to thank all our patrolling members for their contribution, no matter how big or small.

Significant changes this season The 2018/2019 season has seen some significant changes impacting surf lifesaving across the Branch and State. NSW State Emergency Services - As of 8th December 2018 SLS NSW became part of NSW Emergency Services. There will be changes coming, so it is important (and expected) that members keep current and up to date with practices and processes.

Communications and supplementary learning - SLSNSW is pushing out communications and supplementary learning directly to members based on their Surfguard roles and awards. Patrol Captains received Supplementary Learning for Patrol Captains in April 2019, and the Safer Surf Clubs and Safe- guarding Children elearning modules are also available. Completion of courses and elearning is tracked by SLS NSW and recorded on Surfguard, so I would encourage you to complete these as requested.

Patrol Operations App – we started using the app this season at the request of SLS NSW. Thank you to the Patrol Captains who got on board and used the App, and a shout out to Jordi Skelton and Nigel Barber who trialled the App. Despite the naysayers and connectivity issues, the app has generally been used well. Further enhancements will be added in future versions, including incident reporting. PCs and VCs should download the App on their phones and make sure that they know their member area login and password ready for next season.

Member Injuries – there is a new reporting process for member injuries. The Duty Officer must be contacted immediately. There is a 24/7/365 mobile phone number to call when a member injury occurs during any lifesaving activity eg patrol, nippers, training courses, surf sports training or competition. To be covered you must pay and renew your membership online BEFORE you start any of these activities.

Patrol Roster Our aim is to build strong patrol teams that:

 have sufficient numbers in each patrol to deal with incidents;  at a minimum meet our Lifesaving Agreement; and.  keep you in your tribes of people you enjoy patrolling with.

Overall our number of proficient patrolling members and award mix looks very healthy and is envied by a number of other clubs in the Branch. With so many patrolling members and dates to plan around, putting together the patrol roster can be quite an artform. Thank you to Kevin ‘Spook’ Moffat, our Patrol Supervisor, for putting the roster together. I now understand the ‘secret sauce’ of patrol rostering, have learnt to decipher Spook’s handwriting, and understand some of the vagaries of Surfguard and the Patrol Ops App.

14 SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 101st ANNUAL REPORT We welcomed 16 new SRCs and 20 new BM to patrols this season. This helped to strengthen some of our existing patrols that were struggling to meet our Lifesaving Agreement and/or required bolstering. We also accommodated some patrol team swaps this season.

We had 25 patrols this season, which is the highest number of patrols in the Branch - on one hand it means you are only rostered for 5 or 6 half day patrols on the flip side people can forget what to do! Vice Captains were introduced to patrol teams this year.

The next generation of Patrol Captains (PCs) are coming through with Jacob Witty and Daana Stoker having their first outing as Patrol Captain. Thanks to their PCs who supported them with this.

Patrol Hours A phenomenal 5,832.2 patrol hours were logged in Surfguard for this season. Highest patrolling hours this season:

Females Hours Males Hours Jodi Le Geyt 51 Mike Le Geyt 68 Vivienne Saunders 38.9 Tasman Farrell 55.1 Daana Stoker 38.3 Shane Burke 48.8 Laura Oliver 35.3 Kristofer Martyn 42.3

Charlotte Walters 34.8 Bodhi Spijker 39.8

Key Patrol Statistics Members have also been putting their training and skills to good use on and off patrol. The following is a snapshot of patrol statistics logged in Surfguard.

Lives Lost Rescues First Aids Preventative Actions 0 28 36 230

Out of Hours Rescues Our members have performed a number of out of hours rescues. On 2 occasions we had members perform rescues that could have otherwise resulted in dire outcomes.

In October 2018 Mark, Angus & David Campbell along with Zulu (Wayne Settree) assisted some surfers in trouble behind the pool at dusk.

In March 2019 Rob and Sam Lowery rescued a man in treacherous conditions behind the pool. Both of these were nominated for the Branch Rescue of the Month.

101st ANNUAL REPORT SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 15 Members’ training and skills have also come in handy when on holidays or going about their day to day activities.

Tom Schoeb was in Hawaii he rendered assistance to a young lady. This account can be read on the Club Facebook page.

Craig Bowra attended a mountain bike accident involving a potentially life changing spinal injury.

Patrol Assessment South Curly was awarded 2nd place in the Patrol Assessment (patrol audits) for 2018/19 at the Branch Awards of Excellence, with a commendable score of 1046 out of a possible 1050. Thank you to Patrols L, K and N who were audited during the season. The award came with a cheque for $3,111

Room for Improvement Overall we have had a successful season, however there are a couple of areas where there is room for improvement.

Membership renewals – too much time and effort is spent chasing people to renew and pay their membership. To ensure that you and the Club are covered by insurance, you need to pay your membership as soon as possible after the AGM, especially if you are training in the off season or you are using the gym, and no later than prior to your first patrol.

Compliance with Life Saving Agreement / Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) / Codes of Conduct – these are in place to keep our members and the public safe. If in the unfortunate circumstance that you are interviewed by the police or coroner, ignorance or saying that you are ‘just a volunteer’ will probably not cut it.

Please ensure you are familiar with the Lifesaving Agreement, SOPs and Codes of Conduct. Check that all of your equipment is in working order and that beach set up is rescue ready. If required, move equipment as conditions change.

Make sure you are visible and in full patrol uniform so your patrol and members of the public can find you.

Be vigilant when on patrol – members of the public are relying on you. Watch the water and have patrol members at the water’s edge ready to perform preventative actions and rescues if required. Patrol Captains should make sure they have adequate coverage for their patrol and let me know if you have any concerns or issues with your patrol.

No shows - there were quite a few no shows with no patrol swap organised, particularly at the start and end of the season. This is another reason why we need members to renew promptly and let us know if they are not available. Please diarise your patrol dates. If you use TeamApp your will receive a reminder a week prior to each patrol. Your Patrol Captain should also contact you as well.

16 SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 101st ANNUAL REPORT Member Recognition I had the privilege of presenting 4 awards at the club Presentation Night.

Junior Patrol Member of the Year – Harry Robinson Harry has been in the club since U6 nippers, gaining his SRC as an U14. He attended all of his patrols as an SRC, and actively participates in his patrol team. He is now a fully-fledged Bronze member after completing the recent SRC to Bronze Medallion transition course and assessment. He was really strong through the course, supportive of others and is keen to gain other patrolling awards. CONGRATULATIONS HARRY

Patrol Member of the Year – Shane Burke Since joining the club with his kids doing nippers, Shane has gone on to gain his Bronze Medallion, ART, IRBC, Silver Medallion Beach Management and Silver Medallion Aquatic Search and Rescue. He is a member of Patrol L and also enjoys patrolling with Patrol 8 which he started patrolling with when they were short of patrolling members. He assisted with some SRC to Bronze training and always puts his hand up to help out. CONGRATULATIONS SHANE

Patrol Team of the Year - Patrol J What can I say? This multi - skilled bunch of lively lads have individually been members of South Curly for a number of years and have patrolled together for a few seasons as Patrol J. Led by Jay Turner they were a reliable and cohesive unit during the PATROL J— good looking roosters...just ask them! 2018/19 season. Jay Turner PC, Paul Monnington, Graham Smith, Cam Inchley, Paul Kelsey, Initially they thought they were Patrol of the Andrew Toon, Bill Barden, Dave Warneford, Pete Hamilton, Harry Hinde, Season because they were the best-looking Dylan McNeil, Jacob Lynch and Lucas Bennett (photo from prior season). patrol, however I did explain they were bestowed this honour because they met our lifesaving agreement, renewed their membership and completed proficiencies early in the season. Their patrol attendance and beach management was outstanding and they had the least number of no shows during the season, which is ironic as none of them were at the presentation night!! Keep up the good work. CONGRATULATIONS PATROL J

101st ANNUAL REPORT SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 17 Patrol Captain of the Year – Peter Allen

There are a number of reasons why Peter is the Patrol Captain of the Year for 2018/19 season. He is organised, calm, approachable, reliable, and easy to communicate with. He is open to change and is aware of what needs to be done. He sets a good example of how to manage patrol teams. He manages beach set up, monitors conditions and changes set up accordingly. He briefs his patrol team and delegates roles/ tasks. He ensures that equipment is checked at beginning of his patrol. He actively participates in proficiency sessions and encourages his patrol team to complete proficiencies early in the season. He maintains a collaborative working relationship with the Council lifeguards and other club members.

The consensus from his patrol team is that he has an affable way of interacting with them. He is an excellent leader and teacher and a great patrol captain, and they feel confident and secure when on patrol with him. CONGRATULATIONS PETE

To finish up Thank you again to all our patrolling members for a successful 2018/2019 season. I wish you all a restful ‘off season’ and hope to see you all back for the 2019/2020 season.

I’d also like to thank everyone that has helped and supported me in my first season as Club Captain. I am thoroughly enjoying the role and am looking forward to my 2nd season as Club Captain in 2019/2020.

See you on the beach Cheers Jodi xx

Jodi Le Geyt Club Captain

18 SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 101st ANNUAL REPORT Treasurer’s Report It gives me great pleasure to present the financial report to the year ended 30 April 2019.

The following were the highlights.

Café ‘Gusto on the Beach’ The café operated for the full season and generated a surplus of $60,500 for the Club. The issue with paying for outside seating has been resolved thanks to Peter Lowther, with the Café operator now paying for this directly instead of the Club.

Donors and Grants A full list of all donors, sponsors and grant income is included in the detailed income statement. Significant contributions included:

 Stone Real Estate – major sponsor for the hundredth anniversary surf boat with a sponsorship totalling $10,455.  Harbord Diggers Mounties became a major sponsor for the anniversary carnival giving $5,000.  Freshwater Community Bank Bendigo were also a significant sponsor of the carnival at $3,000

Some income such as Seven Miles Coffee (Belaroma) did not make the financial year cut-off and will therefore show in next year’s accounts ($15,000).

Other Income Highlights  Membership subscriptions were down slightly at $59,318.  Hall hire income was down slightly at $25,000.  Ocean Swim Event held in April 2019, generated in excess of $4,746. This was lower than last year due to purchase of swim caps to cover a couple of years.  Interest income was also down, at $4,719.

Results The income statement shows a net deficit for the year of $83,480. This was significantly offset by grant income of $20,486 and depreciation expense of $55,309. Our cash position went backwards by $19,065.

In summary this was an expensive season with one-off costs attributed to 100th anniversary celebrations such as the Ball, Carnival and book publication. We currently hold an unusually high amount of clothing stock as well. I would expect that the coming season will return to normal with an anticipated surplus. We need to look after all our sources of funding including our donors, our sponsors, our café, hall hire and our various fundraising events.

36 SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 101st ANNUAL REPORT

Boat Captain’s Report The 18/19 season was another successful year for the South Curl Curl boat section both on and off the water.

We continue to focus on building the section with an eye on the future and with young home-grown talent. This season saw two Under 19 men’s crews, one Under 19 woman’s crew, one Under 23 men’s crews (Branch Representatives) and one Under 23 women’s crew take the water, all of whom were highly competitive and successful.

In addition to the strong youth contingent Curly put a strong Open Men and Women’s crews and Reserves Men and Women’s crews on the water along with a South Curl Curl stalwarts representing the club in the Master’s divisions.

The Season

ASRL Open The ASRL Open held at Elouera Beach has been a successful event for Curly in previous years. This year’s event was no different with Curly represented in the finals by several of the youth crews.

Ribsy swept the Reserve men to a well fought Bronze medal.

Termite’s U19 men’s crew placed an impressive 6th in their maiden ASRL final and his U23’s continuing theirs amazing run of ASRL medals to secure the Silver.

Not to be outdone Gus’ 19 men claimed the best result of any Curly crew for the weekend with an impressive row to secure Gold.

States The NSW State titles were again held at Swansea-Belmont with Curly represented well with no less than 6 crews in the final.

5 was Gus’ unlucky number with the Open women, U19 women and U19 men all placing 5th and missing out on the medals.

Ribsy’s Reserve men again had bronze around their necks with a 3rd.

Termite’s States proved a little more successful with his U19 men taking 4th and U23 men claiming the Gold in their respected finals.

101st ANNUAL REPORT SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 37 Aussies The Australian titles this year was back on the Gold Coast at Broadbeach.

All Curly teams performed exceptionally in the large and tricky conditions, bringing home a swag of medals. In doing this proving what was already known that Curly have some of the best Surf Boat Sweeps in the country.

First to hit the water at Aussies were the Master’s crew. The club stalwarts couldn’t quite match their Gold from last year being just pipped at the line to take home the Silver.

Next up was the inaugural Australian Short course title. This new format sees the crews turning at the gate cans in what turned out to be close and exiting racing in the huge conditions. Gus’ Open Women and Termite’s Open and 23 Men crews contested the event with the Open Women and Men both taking home Gold in their finals.

The carnival was then shifted to North Kirra beach for the Junior events. Both U19 Mens crews made the final with both crews unlucky to miss out on a medal with Termites boys getting 7th and Gus’ an unlucky 4th. The most celebrated final of Aussies went to Gus and Zulu’s U19 Women’s crew. Zulu was unfortunate to injure his shoulder in the latter half of the season with Gus taking the helm at the pointy end. Putting the icing on Zulu’s groundwork, Gus and the girls had the row of their lives taking out the Gold in the trying conditions.

On Sunday the competition was moved back to Broadbeach. The surf was as big as it had been all week with a very tricky second bank. This notorious bank claimed its share of Curly Crews with the Reserve Women, Open Women and Open men all spectacularly crashing out in their Minor Semi finals. Shaken but not deterred Termite navigated his U23 Men to the final where they came 7th. The Curly row of the day went to Ribsy’s Reserve Men’s crew in a chaotic final that had everything, with Ribs taming the GC surf to claim Silver.

38 SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 101st ANNUAL REPORT Chief Instructor’s Report

Yet another busy and successful year on the education and training front. The Club and the Training Team have had another stellar season, with South Curl Curl punching above its weight in term of proficient patrolling members and award mix. To cap off the season off South Curl Curl SLSC was awarded the Most Outstanding Club for support to Education & Training at the 2018/2019 Branch Awards of Excellence.

Key initiatives for 2018/19 In addition to the usual courses and proficiencies, the Training Team and patrolling members were kept busy with:

 Mandatory Australian government upgrades for vocational training and assessment effective 1 July 2019, which impact the training team, our Branch Central Venue Assessments, and endorsed facilitators.  Mandatory Australian government upgrades for our surf boat sweeps and officials.  Identifying Patrol Vice Captains, and arranging courses for them.  Developing our ‘Next Generation’, including new and potential Patrol Captains.  Encouraging members to complete the Mental Health First Aid courses organised by Branch.  Roll out of Surf Life Saving New South Wales (SLS NSW) e learning courses – Safeguarding Children and Young People Awareness, and Safer Surf Clubs.  Roll out of SLS NSW Supplementary e Learning for Patrol Captains.  Rip current demonstration for Nippers, parents and the local community.  Bendigo Bank Community CPR Courses.

1 Per SurfGuard (SLSA’s member system, which is not the easiest to extract data from!). Apologies if anyone has been omitted from the awards listing. 2 The net increase in award numbers includes new awards and members completing proficiencies for awards that they were not proficient in at the end of last season.

We also monitor the mix of awards by patrol and patrol attendance - we need to meet our obligations under the Lifesaving Agreement and ensure that each patrol has the right skills and proficient awards to manage the beach and any incidents.

Our award coverage would not have been possible without the members that have helped with training, proficiency sessions and the behind the scenes work over several years, the support of the Club Com- mittee, and our Club Administrators, Lisa Settree and Jenny Drury.

Proficiency sessions (aka skills maintenance) Thank you to our Assessors and Delegates that ran proficiency sessions this season, particularly Michael ‘Chuck’ Berry, Jodi Le Geyt, Kevin Moffat, Steve Birch, Glenn Everingham, Sue Hanley, Craig Blake and our Patrol Captains.

Over the past few seasons we have:

 promoted proficiency sessions as opportunities for members to refresh and improve their skills, as opposed to being viewed as just an annoying compliance requirement.  encouraged our Patrol Captains to get more involved with proficiencies. We have made the training equipment and support readily accessible for patrols to refresh their skills and run scenarios; and  provided members with opportunities to complete proficiencies on patrol days, as well as running some of the traditional advertised proficiency sessions (now at the point where many of the traditional proficiency sessions are poorly attended, particularly at the start of the season).

40 SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 101st ANNUAL REPORT Pleasingly we only had a handful of members that we had to chase to complete proficiencies or renew their membership this season. Apart from members returning from overseas or who have been injured, members should aim to complete proficiencies by no later than early December.

Please keep your awards current by completing proficiencies. SLSA has implemented maximum time periods which run from your last proficiency date (you can see your awards and expiry dates when you log into the Members’ Portal). Once you exceed these periods we can no longer process proficiencies, and you then need to effectively complete the assessment for the award again.

Nippers - Rip current demonstration The aim of this demonstration is to help our Nippers and parents understand how the water moves around at South Curly. This was the 2nd year that we have run this demonstration, and on the day we did not have the usual rip next to the pool was not working which took some people by surprise.

Rip current demonstration– drone footage kindly provided by Simon Cox, one of our members.

We have put together a video for our Nippers group.

Surf Rescue Certificate (SRC) Squad 2018/19 This year we had another fairly sizable squad, which was trained by Mike and Jodi Le Geyt (Training Officers), Jordi Skelton and Brett Miller (Age Managers), parents, and some of our younger patrolling members – special mentions go to Alex Le Geyt, Zara Howes, Gordon Carroll, Mali Spijker and Holly Chandler.

For those that have not been involved with the SRC award for a while, the SRC has evolved over the past few seasons and includes radios (same as Bronze Medallion), first aid (assessed at a similar level to the Bronze Medallion) and the use of defibrillators/2 person CPR. The SRC is assessed at Branch central venues to maintain consistency and quality (and not all candidates pass first time).

With our SRC courses we will continue to prioritise Nippers that have come through our Nippers program and who intend to patrol at South Curl Curl.

101st ANNUAL REPORT SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 41

SRC Squad after completing the assessment at Warriewood

Conditions on the day were very challenging, particularly for the board rescue.

Everyone that we presented got through - the SRCs put the effort in and they were trained as per the current manual and assessment guidelines.

As a reward for our new SRCs, we arranged for one of the Branch Support Skis to pay a visit to South Curly later in the season.

Bronze Medallion Spring and Summer Squads We ran our two usual Bronze Medallion squads this season, with our main challenge once again being unfriendly surf conditions. We continue to encourage Age Managers and U13 parents to complete their Bronze Medallion. As most club members are aware, Nipper parents form a significant portion of our patrolling membership, and we need Bronze holders with water safety and to help train our younger members.

Thank you to Sue Hanley, Natalie Nearly and Chuck who trained the squads, and our Bronze Assessors – Mike Le Geyt, Chuck Berry, Glenn Everingham and Craig Blake.

42 SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 101st ANNUAL REPORT

Bronze Spring Squad after their assessment at Freshwater

SRC to Bronze Medallion Transition Squad As we have a large cohort of SRCs coming through, we decided to run a SRC to Bronze Transition Squad in the 2nd half of the season (after proficiencies and the SRC course were out of the way).

The squad was trained by Mike and Jodi Le Geyt, with the assistance from John Colnan and Shane Burke.

Combined SRC to Bronze Medallion Transition Squad and Bronze Summer Squad at their assessment at Freshwater.

Over 100 candidates completed their Bronze at Freshwater that day.

101st ANNUAL REPORT SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 43 Advanced Resuscitation Techniques (ART) This season we focused on refreshers and proficiencies for ART holders that had not completed proficiencies in the previous season, and ran one ART course over 4 sessions (10 -12 hours).

New oxy kit provided to all surf clubs in NSW for 2019/20 season

We are now running the ART courses in house again, which has several benefits.

 We train members on our club equipment, so they know how to use and maintain it.

 Members retain the required knowledge and remember what to do when it counts, and we don’t have to (re)train people again.

 We can incorporate adequate scenario practice, which is what really matters when ARTs are on patrol.

IRB Crew and Silver Medallion IRB Driver Training continued throughout the season, with a steady stream of IRB Drivers in training and Crew courses. This season we added 15 IRB Crew Award and 4 IRB Drivers, and our Club now had the highest number of proficient IRB Drivers of all clubs in the Sydney Northern Beaches Branch.

The ever present Kevin Moffat (aka Spook) was heavily involved in organising the training of the drivers and most of the crew with the assistance of Graeme Dominish, Chuck, Peter Allen and Ben Webster. Chuck, Steve Birch and Spook all assessed IRB Awards during the season.

44 SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 101st ANNUAL REPORT Other patrolling awards The following courses are facilitated courses run by Branch, except for the Provide First Aid awards (SLS NSW and external providers).

1. Provide First Aid [HLT003] – several members have gained this award, mainly through external providers/their workplaces. As this is a recommended award, we may arrange for these courses to be run at South Curl Curl next season.

2. Spinal Management – another 20 members gained this award. This is a short practical Branch facilitated course that we can easily run at South Curl Curl now that have an endorsed Facilitator at the club.

3. Silver Medallion Beach Management – 18 of our members gained this award, which is a pre-requisite for Patrol Captains and recommended for Vice Captains.

4. Silver Medallion Aquatic Rescue (SMAR) – a further 4 members completed this course, which is only run twice a year and has limited capacity.

5. Certificate III in Public Safety (Aquatic Search and Rescue) – members that have completed the Bronze Medallion/Cert II, Silver Medallion Aquatic Rescue (SMAR), Beach Management, First Aid, Advanced Resuscitation and Spinal management awards are eligible for this upgrade. We now have 3 members with the Cert III.

6. Gold Medallion (Advanced Lifesaving) – Sam Le Geyt gained his Gold Medallion this season, the first South Curly member to attain this award since 2009. We have some more members that are keen to achieve this award, and now that we know what is required will look to train up more members next season.

Educations and training awards We have added to our award coverage and capabilities this season with the following awards:

 Training Officer Bronze Medallion – Natalie Neary.  Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (TAE40110) upgrade – Mike Le Geyt.  Two of our Assessors were appointed as Assessors-in-Charge (AIC) at Branch Central Venue Assessments this season – Mike Le Geyt (Bronze) and Michael Berry (IRB).

From 1 July 2019 all AICs and Facilitators are required to have completed the TAE upgrade, or must hold a diploma or higher level qualification in adult education.

101st ANNUAL REPORT SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 45 Next season 2019/20 already promises to be just as busy with the following already on the radar:

I. SLS NSW implementing changes as a result of SLS NSW becoming a declared state emergency service effective from 8 December 2018. II. SLS NSW continuing to communicate directly with members, releasing additional courses, and tracking compliance by clubs and members. III. Implementation of a ‘Supervisory Framework’ for training and assessment as a result of the mandatory changes effective 1 July 2019. IV. The updated Public Safety and Aquatic Rescue (Bronze Medallion) Manual, which is being trialled this season and is expected to be rolled out for the 2020/21 season. V. Consequential changes to other awards following release of the updated manual. VI. Supporting our members to gain higher awards, including the Gold Medallion. VII. Roll out of new QCPR manikins provided by SLS NSW (the QCPR manikins connect to a tablet, which provides feedback on the effectiveness of candidates’ CPR technique). VIII. Upgrading Advanced Resuscitation Technique (ART) holders to the latest ART[AID] award before we lose the ability to upgrade members (which is what happened with the old ARC award). IX. Proficiency and assessment applications that are currently under development by SLS NSW – these are intended to reduce the burden on Training Teams and Administrators.

Looking forward to the next patrol season.

46 SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 101st ANNUAL REPORT Junior Activities Report The 2018-2019 Nippers season at South Curly was another great year, with the long hot summer provided a the perfect time to be down the beach. Again our focus was on keeping the beach open and getting the kids into the waves as much as possible, but this year that proved a real challenge due to classic South Curl Curl conditions on a Sunday morning. However, we were fortunate enough to have great support from our water safety, our patrol and the council lifeguards which meant we could access the water as much as possible.

Nippers Numbers The number of registered Nippers this season is slightly down on previous years, which is a trend across the whole of the Northern beaches Branch, but our regular attendance each Sunday morning is consistent- ly above 350. Our retention rate is still quite phenomenal and a credit to the club, trainers and all the age managers, helpers and parents who wrangle their kids to the beach each Sunday morning. We also continued our focus on Beach Safety, Enjoyment and creating a life-long passion for the beach and the ocean. It’s great to see so many families getting more and more involved in Nippers and the club in general.

U14 SRC squad This season’s SRC squad this year resulted in a very strong core of teenagers transitioning from Nippers to Junior members and joining patrols. The SRC is a registered certification that involves the U14’s learning CPR, first aid, board and tube rescues and how to be involved as a patrolling member. It provides the bridge between junior club activities and senior club activities, with successful participants joining patrols. The evaluation criteria is very similar to the Bronze Medallion. South Curl Curl SRC Group 2018 worked exceedingly hard in training and preparation and we successfully managed to get all of our U14’s through. Again, the high levels of skill and capability in our SRC squad was commented on by all assessors, and our U14’s were regarded as a very strong and diligent group. They are also a very close group that will continue to enjoy the club as we move forward, Well done to you all. A big thank you has to go to Mike, Jodi, Jordi and Brett and their helpers: Alex Le Geyt, Gordon & Douglas Carroll, Zara Howes, Mali Spijker, Holly Chandler; for such excellent training, our SRC coaching is the envy of the beaches with a 100% success rate over the last few years.

Sippers As we are a wee bit of a social surf club, and do like the odd summer get together, we again held our sippers events during the peak of summer - including a Friday evening sippers with food and beverages in the club house after board camp. The Social committee of Glen Everingham and Matt Camp- bell have introduced some new menus and the quality was greatly appreciated by all the hungry families. Sippers is not only a great way to meet new Nipper members and socialise, but also a fine way to finish a working week and enjoy our beach on a sum- mers evening – many thanks to the parents who helped out with cooking, bar and kitchen duty. It’s great to see more and more of the newer members become more involved socially and meet more people. A big call out to Jason Crouch and his musical talents that keep us all dancing and singing ‘til the wee hours.

101st ANNUAL REPORT SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 47 Carnivals This year South Curl Curl did not participate in any carnivals at all. Despite this being one of the two main focus activities this year for the Junior Activities Committee, we failed miserably at managing this element - it is an area we will actively target in the coming season and pay more attention to try and get more par- ticipation and representation.

Board Camp Our annual board camp took place in January. It is always a highlight of the Nipper calendar and gives the opportunity for 3 full mornings of boards, boards, boards and more boards. The help provided by the older cadets really engages the younger Nippers and provides valuable skills transfer. This year we managed to stay at South Curly for the entire 3 days, which is always our preference as it’s our home beach.

The training the Nippers get and the confidence they gain on boards in the water is always surprising. A real highlight was getting they younger age groups some hands on experience with senior lifesaving equipment – How many Nippers can you get on one Rescue Board!!

48 SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 101st ANNUAL REPORT The board camp couldn’t be achieved without the voluntary help of age managers, their partners, parents and the trainers, before and during the three days, who have given up their time….a huge thank you to you all, especially the trainers: Adele Saunders, Matthew King and Sam Le Geyt and the Cadets performing water safety: Katherine Cannon, Douglas & Gordon Carroll, Holly Chandler, Zara Howes, Josh & Sam- my Johnston, Owen Saunders and Mali Spijker.

All Age Challenge Cup This year, the all age challenge cup was hotly contested this year and won by the mighty U8’s. It was great to see every age group work as a team and devise new ways to bend the rules to the maximum! The U8’s won not only by completing the challenge ahead of any other group, but also be avoiding the scruti- ny of roving judges and focusing on the task in hand. Well done U8’s!

Rip Current Demonstration This is the second year that the club has demonstrated how the rip works at South Curly by deploying coloured dye in the water. Our club Chief Training Officer, Mike Le Geyt, released bright green rip dye into the water as 400 nippers watched on, together with a significant public crowd. As we all know, South Curl Curl beach has one of the most dangerous rips, and while we spend time teaching the kids about rips, it’s always really valuable to see how quick the rip works by way of the dye.

Racecourse Beach Our end of season club camping trip was held at a new location this year and Racecourse Beach delivered on everyone’s expectations. A record number of families joined, the weather was gorgeous for most part and the ocean was completely opposite from South Curly – flat and calm!

A more detailed report is provided later, but we’d like to thank the Racecourse organising committee for their hard work and commitment to organising and creating an event that runs so well and smoothly, particularly with the management of the change in location…. Looking forward to next year!

101st ANNUAL REPORT SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 49 Age Managers and Helpers The Nippers at South Curl Curl is run by volunteers. All the age managers, assistant age managers, beach safety, clothing and first aiders are volunteer club members and (usually) parents of kids who give up their Sunday morning. It would not be possible to run Nippers without this commitment, and I’d like to acknowledge the fantastic effort provided by all the age managers and assistant age managers and helpers every Sunday (and Wednesday, Friday and Saturdays!). It is one aspect that helps make South Curly a great club. I’d particularly like to thank Jordi Skelton and Brett Miller, the U14 age managers, who have ushered their nippers through the years, and have provided many years of service to South Curl Curl Nippers. A big shout out also goes to: Pete Nelson for U10’s age management and especially Ben Humel and Danielle Humel who took on the onerous and frightening task of wrangling the U6’s this year as well as bringing back the BBQ!

Changes This season was last to have Graham Smith as Vice President of Nippers. Graham has had provided a massive contribution to the club and we’d like to thank him for his commitment over the years and his support of all our nippers in an inclusive way. A new VP will be in place by September.

See you on the beach for next season!

50 SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 101st ANNUAL REPORT Racecourse Beach Surfari In the annual tradition of South Curly, this year, for 3 days over the Anzac Day long weekend, 370 South Curly nippers and their families (the biggest ever contingent!), headed south to enjoy another fabulous 3 days of non-stop fun on the beautiful shores of Racecourse Beach at Bawley Point.

The weather was spectacular, the water was warm and spirits were high.

2019 Surfari Final Numbers

 370 people (biggest ever!! Wooohooo!!)  92 families  60 kg of chicken cooked for butter chicken (yes - a whole human worth of chicken)  216 ice cream cones  1400 eggs  57 servings of large chips  400 sausages  Countless numbers of bouncing pillow collisions, bike stacks and empty beer/wine and other alcoholic beverage bottles

We at South Curly are so lucky to be part of something so special - to have an end of season trip like this and to have such a great group of families in our Surf Club that made our trip as great as it was.

Let the long held tradition of the end of season trip continue as the Committee are currently working to lock in details for 2020. All South Curl Curl Surf Club families are welcome to join us. For more information please visit the South Curl Curl SLSC website. Hope to see you at Surfari in 2020!

101st ANNUAL REPORT SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 51 South Curly Rippers All Ability Group South Curl Curl offers a modified nipper program for children & youth with a disability and has done now for six years. The program has been developed and supported by the club to allow inclusion for all children & youth to be able to learn about surf awareness and skills as well as participate in activities such as beach races, flags, wade and swim races. As members of this group become more confident in the water, they learn skills to be able to use nipper surfboards in the breakers as well as be supported by older and SRC club members to go out further into the surf to catch a wave into shore. Family members are encouraged to participate with their child so everyone has the opportunity to share in the excitement as each member masters new skills throughout the season.

Members of ‘Rippers’ are encouraged to join in their age mainstream group if they wish and are welcome to participate in both groups. This season there was one (1) Rippers that felt they were ready for this step and with support by parents, Rippers age manager and Age group manager, the transition has been successful.

The 2018/19 summer season had approximately 25 registered members, ranging in disabilities and age groups, our youngest member 7 years to our oldest at 40 years. A slight growth in numbers by word of mouth recruitment, this year again allowed us to have two groups – one youth group and a younger group. This allowed the group coordinator to be able to focus on individual needs more closely and achieve some surf safe goals which this year included floating for 2 minutes, regular 25m swims, wade and run swim runs.

South Curly Rippers are also a part of the annual Special needs carnival at Mona Vale and as usual have regular representation that does well, coming back with 1st, 2nd and 3rd medals.

AS usual, volunteers for our group are wonderful, along with our regular patrolling surf club members, SRC members and Duke of Ed service. All volunteers are greatly appreciated.

Some highlights for the season are:

 Being included in the annual age group competition, this year fill water buckets race in which the Rippers came third.

 Being a part of our own branch carnival, hosted and held at Mona Vale Beach that included other SLSC disability groups. South Curly was represented well over both age groups.

 1 Ripper graduating to regular nippers program in their age group.

Looking forward to growing the Rippers program for 2019/20 season.

52 SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 101st ANNUAL REPORT IRB Captain’s Report Congratulations everyone on another successful season. It has been really pleasing to see the growth of the IRB Department over the years, from only a few years back where we were struggling to fill the patrols, to now where we are putting through dozens each season!!

Of course this can not be done without all the trainers who have sacrificed their time to help - guys including Spook, Graham, Peter, Steve, Alistair and Chuck as well everyone else that chipped in, many hands make light work and I really appreciate it. Not to mention of course all the new drivers and crew who put their hand up this season giving their time to learn, and bolster clubs stocks the club really appreciates it.

As most of you guys are aware now the IRB shed is now fitted to hold 3 IRB’s, thanks the brains trust, primarily Graham, we now have a sling which enables us to secure a 3rd IRB against the ceiling. This saves us so much time taking apart and re-assembling the 3rd IRB every time we need it so a massive thank you there!!

Our transitions of motors from Yamaha to Tohatsu is almost complete with another addition purchased this season. A massive thanks to Jodi Le Geyt for helping push it through, I know it wasn't easy to do!!

A big thank you to CTO Mike Le Geyt for his assistance this season with managing our assessments with branch over the season obviously giving up your time helping getting get some of our new recruits through we really appreciate it.

Lastly a massive thank you to Chuck he really did get alot of the behind the scenes stuff done on his own this season (not just in the IRB Department), with most issues sorted well before I even knew about them, so a massive thank you from me

That's a wrap guys, thanks again to everyone who helped out again over the 2018/19 we couldn't do it without you.

101st ANNUAL REPORT SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 53 First Aid Report There were 36 incidents recorded for the 2018/19 season via patrol logs.

The Break down was 10 Marine stings, 21 minor cuts and abrasions, 4 Fractures /dislocations, 1 other miscellaneous first aid matter.

Thank you to our patrol captains for endeavouring to complete the patrol logs and conquer the new system of reporting.

Again our members provided first aid for the annual South Curl Curl Ocean swim competitors. Conditions were calm and warm with the main duty of the first aiders happily being just to top up the water cups while observing the swimmers.

Members were pleased to provide first aid for swimmers involved in the Swim Toward Wellness. Beautiful conditions made for a wonderfully uneventful swim in terms of first aid.

Thanks to all members for being on the beach caring for the community and thanks especially to the ARTs who diligently ensure equipment is ready for each patrol.

54 SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 101st ANNUAL REPORT Caretaker’s Report Another wonderful season at South Curl Curl done and dusted. As always it is a privilege to be the resident caretakers at such a fantastic club.

This season has seen consistent hall hires throughout the year, especially the warmer summer months with winter also looking promising for an increase in utilisation compared to previous years.

The club has supported many community groups and events in their use of the hall for fundraising and awareness, including local swim and board riding clubs and the recent Swim towards Wellness campaign to raise awareness for youth mental health. Watch this space, more to come! The council has also accessed the club hall for ongoing training and up-skilling of our local lifeguards. The club is active in supporting local community groups to be able to enjoy the facilities of South Curly.

We believe these functions are quite beneficial for both the club and community and we encourage organisations to contact us to enquire about such events. The South Curly hall relies on word of mouth and recommendations for bookings so we would really appreciate your ongoing support in spreading the word!

Maintenance and a thorough winter clean are high on the agenda for the off season. The upkeep and cleanli- ness of the communal club member areas has been of high priority and we ask all members to help by returning gear to its appropriate storage area after use and flagging any issues they come across with us.

We are always keen to hear from members if there are any issues, maintenance issues or damage around the club that need to be addressed. You can knock on our door, leave us a note or contact us via email or the caretaker mobile ([email protected] or 0432 066 292).

We love living at South Curly and being a part of the action at the club. We’d like to thank the Club and Committee for their ongoing support in our role as caretakers and look forward to another great year ahead!

101st ANNUAL REPORT SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 55 South Curl Curl Ocean Swim For our 11th annual South Curl Curl Ocean Swim the weather god Huey came to our aid in a roundabout way. With a huge swell rolling in towards the end of the week and conditions forecast to rapidly deterio- rate, Huey actually looked like it he was working against us, rather than for us. But the forecasted conditions worked in our favour, with Bondi Beach making the call early Saturday morning to cancel their annual ocean swim (which had already been rescheduled once and was now scheduled at the same time as our swim on Sunday 28th April).

Because we have a Plan B option of swimming out and back from Freshwater Beach (instead of South Curl Curl), our committee was able to still proceed with our swim and wait to make the decision of which beach to start out from on early Sunday morning. So when we awoke Sunday to relatively calm seas, blue skies and many swimmers registering who would have otherwise swam at Bondi, we gave thanks to Huey.

As usual, many of our swimmers wait until the morning of the swim to decide whether they will swim so we really never know just how many swimmers we will have. This year saw just under 200 swimmers join us our beautiful journey swim from South Curl Curl to Freshwater. However, regardless of how many swimmers end up registering, we always know we can rely on our members to help us out on the day.

The wonderful water safety helpers; the registration desk volunteers who continue to turn up year after year; Annette organising the timing; Trent and Samuel with their utes running the competitor gear transport; Zulu and his rowing girls on the BBQ, feeding all of the swimmers AND the volunteers; the impressively overqualified first aid team of Cathie Dossetor, Kate Jones and Liz O’Brien; or Torro and his team of helpers frantically recording times and counting heads at the finish line……we are so thankful for the way our club comes together each and every year to make this swim a success.

You could call 2019 the year of girl power, with female swimmers being the first four swimmers to cross the finish line. But the 2019 Ocean Swim also confirmed that ocean swimmers get better and better with age. One of our race regulars, Darrin Jones (who swims in the 50-59 category) was the first male to cross the finish line. Congratulations go to both Darrin Jones and Jordan White, our Ken Ward medalists.

Our decision to use a timing app instead of professional timing devices for the second year has provided us with us with the technology today’s ocean swimmers expect, at a fraction of the cost of the big timing companies. By using this app we delivered an extra $2500 profit to the ocean swim.

Thanks to our swim sponsors, Freshwater Community Bank. Their sponsorship (in addition to entry monies) meant we made just under $10,000 in profit for the club this year. Bendigo Bank provides overall club sponsorship, tents and flags when we need them, prizes for competitors and Sandy and her staff were once again there on the day along with Ken Ward’s daughter, Emma, to support us.

And last but not least, thank you once again to the big men of little music, the FUKERS, for turning up yet again to entertain and delight the crowd. Cath Proctor We can’t wait to do it all again next year! Ocean Swim Committee

56 SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 101st ANNUAL REPORT Swim Towards Wellness After the sudden passing of Toby, the ‘Swim Towards Wellness’ Annual Ocean Swim from Shelly Beach - South Curl Curl (4km) was created by very special club member and mate, Barry Farrell.. The aim was to support and promote positive mental health outcomes for the members of our wider community.

Too many lives are lost on the northern beaches, and across Australia, as a result from the negative impacts of depression, anxiety and other issues associated with ones mental health.

What we hope to achieve in running the Swim Towards Wellness is the conversation going about mental health, to raise much needed funds for this issue and also to bring the community together. Life is not a race and neither is this swim...it’s a supportive swim.

The club is proud to assist our very special club member Barry Farrell (who is the creator of the event) in bringing this event to the wider community.

Stay tuned for details on next years event, bigger, better and hoping to make a difference.

In Memory of Toby Flemming (5.5.93 - 23.11.17)

101st ANNUAL REPORT SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 57 Curly Gym Report The Surf club gym continues to be a fantastic facility for patrolling members. During the season we purchased two Concept 2 ergometers from donated funds. We now have a bank of 10 machines available for patrolling members to train in formation. This is particularly valuable for competition rowing crews and gives South Curly a unique competitive advantage over rival clubs. In addition to ergometers the gym has a good range of training equipment which is well used.

The gym is frequented by an increasing variety of members of differing, ages, backgrounds and fitness levels. The existing pin code access makes it available for use 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. The unrestricted and unmonitored nature of this access is becoming more of a concern and will need to be addressed ahead of the 2019/2020 patrolling season.

One option is to install a smart phone access system where members enter the gym via an App on their smartphone. This option is a cost effective alternative to card access which requires back-to-base wiring and time-consuming installation. A Smartlock system would also give the gym administrator ability to permission members, view who has entered and to set access times.

This may be a good solution for South Curl Curl and will be put to the board for resolution in 2019.

58 SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 101st ANNUAL REPORT Centenary Carnival It was 100 years in the making and well worth the wait. Not the biggest carnival we’ve ever had, but it was one of the great club days in our history and a wonderful celebration of a century of spirit, camaraderie and fun. And there was some quality competition thrown in as well. From the organisation, the ideas, the water safety, the first aid, the catering, the competition, the entertainment, it was all driven by club members and carried out by club members. Months of preparation from the carnival organising committee almost came to nothing when Birchy’s water safety crew was diverted from laying buoys to a search and rescue. What potentially could have been an all-day search thankfully proved to be a false alarm. So the cans were laid and competition got under way in a typically challenging South Curly surf.

But the highlight of the day was on the sand where we couldn’t have asked for a better return of the Curl Curl 1000, the world’s richest beach sprint. After a 16-year absence, we had the world champion, Australi- an champion, NSW champion and Australian junior champion all line up for a crack at the $1000 first prize, while the inaugural women’s 1000 was won by world champion Bree Masters from Kurrawa. And she earned her cash. “That was the hardest race I have ever run, hands down,” Masters said. Four-time Australian champion Jackson Symonds made his trip from Perth worthwhile when he edged out Elouera’s state champion Michael Hanna on the line. It was an impressive run from Symonds who had to negotiate two rather large hills on the low side of the course after consultant Spider Atkins spent most of the morning valiantly trying to level out the track. Symonds agreed the 120 yards at South Curly is a tough task. “I felt like throwing up at the end,” he said. A few people felt the same as they left the club later that night.

Spider’s 1976 Australian gold medal winning beach relay teammate, two-time Curly 1000 winner and race record holder Ken Picard made a welcome return to the club to present the medals while Chief Media Liaison Alby provided a live cross to ABC Radio.

South Curly dominated the water events, claiming a clean sweep in the men’s open surf race and filling all eight places in the board. Richard Agius finally got to start a surf race at the same time as everyone else rather than giving up a five minute handicap and so of course won gold for the hosts, with John Colnan taking silver and Ben Humel winning the masters. Sam Allen led the Curly avalanche in the board, fol- lowed by Paul Torrington while Jethro Mulder claimed the under 17 swim and board double. The Allens had a good day with Peter winning the masters board. A trio of North Curly girls revived the old fashioned North v South carnival in the women’s events and just beat Kendra Mulder out of the open medals. But they couldn’t stop us on the beach, with Kendra winning the sprint, Mali Spijker taking out the under 17s and Nat Neary dominating the masters with an explosive victory.

An exclusive invitation-only boat section produced some spectacular racing in open men’s, open women’s, under 23s and under 19s events in surf which provided more of a challenge for some than others. In its first hit out in competition, The Spook took us to the podium every time. South Curly came third in the open men’s, second in the women’s, the Lamp took gold in the under 23s, while the Underdogs claimed silver in the 19s ahead of the Sneaky Nuts who slipped out to third. Elouera took out the open men’s and the coveted Richie Roberts trophy named after one of South Curly’s favourite sons.

101st ANNUAL REPORT SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 59 But The Spook almost didn’t make its first competitive outing as Gus took our brand new boat on a warm up row over Cungee. Disaster loomed, but, like its namesake, The Spook negotiated the rocks and rip with ease and came out unscathed. Just how Kevin mostly does it.

It was grand to see a few of Kevin’s contemporaries bring the Curly lightning bolts back to the beach. As the skirl of the Campbell boys’ bagpipes reminded us of carnivals past, the blue, gold and white one-piece clung snugly onto the fine specimens who made up the senior division of a well drilled march past unit. In the juniors, our enthusiastic Nipper outfit was brilliantly led by the effervescent Matt Phelan. The seniors pulled out the big guns and recruited 1966 Australian champion John White but even Maverick’s experience and the glamours in the back row couldn’t convert two training sessions into glory. In fact, they came a dignified last. Matt’s nippers, however, were a well-oiled marching machine and took out silver in the junior division.

The march past was just about the only event that didn’t feature Ben Humel who won the award for Man of the Carnival after entering every other event, including the Curly 1000. Ben was sent to the blood bin after bravely coming back for repeated punishment from Trent Rogers in the pillow fight, completed a South Curly sweep in the open swim, claimed gold in the masters board, silver in the masters sprint and was the solid rock upon which a powerful chariot was built. Trent was the undisputed king of the pillow fight, although Bailey Skelton put up a good fight. Bailey obviously has a knack for the serious events and was part of the triumphant chariot.

Under the marquee set up on the northern deck and unperturbed by the officially declined RSVP from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, VIP Supreme Leader Woody entertained our important guests and life members in his own inimitable style. Nathan Knox was despatched as Tony Abbott’s official welcome party to discuss global affairs. Despite that, the former PM stayed long enough to reminisce with Champ on their old Uni rugby days and fill us in on what he thought of his successor. Representatives from our primary carnival sponsors Harbord Diggers, Bendigo Bank and many other generous club supporters were well fed and watered by Glenny Everingham’s team and, most importantly, a host of revered life members returned to the club, notably Bob Picard, Neville Nunney, Tony Cuneo and Chicka Kuhn.

Best of all, the post-carnival festivities in the clubhouse were fabulous. We welcomed some old faces back to the club including Browny, Seen Stacey and Tim Kerrigan in an atmosphere that so impressed the visitors from other clubs who hung around to polish off the scrumptious kegs kindly donated by Dad & Dave’s Brewing. Impresario Bumper Farrell lined up a succession of stars and soon-to-be stars for the biggest gig since Woodstock featuring, among others, the homegrown musical talents of Harry, Jaiden and Luke from the Doctor’s patrol, Kyle Spiteri, Ryan Kerrigan, Sarah Evans, Johno Oxley on the skins and Bumper himself having the time of his life on bass. Even the Doonside Glee Club came out of retirement for a one-off performance at the venue where it all started. The president’s dancing was only rivalled by Spook and Liane and, after a big day on the BBQ, Zulu channelled his inner Billy Idol for some impressive Dancin’ By Myself.

60 SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 101st ANNUAL REPORT Lisa and Viv had not done enough on the day or the lead up and were still picking up glasses and drunks well into the evening. But the day ended with a travesty when the carnival organiser lost his centenary tshirt in dubious circumstances. Fingers of suspicion were pointed toward Adam Spiteri who, after somehow losing his undies, was last seen sliding his right leg through a tight-fitting tshirt sleeve and looking very pleased with himself.

A great thanks to the magnificent dedication of the Carnival Committee with special mention to club, branch, and State legends Jenny Drury and Jeff Hewitt, without whose extensive surf carnival experience and dogged determination, the whole shebang would have fizzled out.

A massive thanks also to Alby for organising media coverage and for writing this comprehensive report, to Viv and Marz for skilfully capturing hundreds of brilliant photos (which should come in handy for the 200 year anniversary book) and to the dozens of club members and associates who pitched in to help out on the day, including former boatie Lara Raymond who just happened to be walking past and with inimitable Curly commitment ended up doing a 12 hour shift behind the bar.

62 SOUTH CURL CURL SURF LIFESAVING CLUB INCORPORATED 101st ANNUAL REPORT Gala Centenary Ball The International College of Tourism & Management, Manly was the perfect venue for our Gala Centenary Ball.

The room looked amazing and so did the guests #SouthCurlyScrubsUp!

Scott McRae superbly led the event as our MC and kept us all entertained with stories from his time at the club and throwing to the audience for their contributions. Thanks Scotty!

We were very lucky to have quite a few guests join from interstate and overseas to help celebrate this very special occasion and having the Back to Curly luncheon the next day was a great hit and another opportunity to catch up with old friends.

It was decided to replace formal speeches with a video presentation comprising of footage, photos and interviews with past and present members. The answers to the question of the day ,“What Does South Curly Mean To You” made it abundantly clear that this club means the world to all of us! Thanks to Viv and Marz for making this permanent record for us.

It truly was a wonderful evening , we are very lucky to have such amazing members. Go South Curly!
