90 years Anniversary Celebrations North Cronulla Surf Club: Nippers 50th Anniversary & 90th Anniversary
One Great Club – Two Great Events Hundreds of Great Friends
The mighty Blue and Gold this season celebrated two huge milestones in fantastic style. AN EARLY CLUB LADIES COMMITTEE The Nippers kicked off as the World’s first Nipper club marked its 50th anniversary with marathon afternoon of fun and friendship. Abandoning the usual formula of blazers and round tables the Nippers created an event that freed up guests to mingle with old friends in glorious afternoon sunshine, to listen to as few or as many speeches as they liked and to kick on into the night with great tunes. Nippers Chair Donna Hargreaves and her organising committee, Julie Mckinnery, Scott Young, Carmel Lewis, Maurie Tattl, Kevin Macnamara and Steven Brown worked tirelessly and keynote speakers Steve Warren, Jamie Primmer and Ray Wilkinson captured the spirit of the day perfectly.

Management amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use. The on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying unit. amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
