Thank you to all of our sponsors for your support, we couldn’t do it without you.

- 5 - Presidents Report

This past season has been very much business as usual apart from the current economic down turn affecting the clubs income in relation to its business interests & sponsorship realisation. That being said the income stream from Surf LifeSaving Northern Region Inc. & Surf Life Saving sees our balance sheet in healthy order compared with previous seasons.

The ASB Trust, with its funding arrangement with Northern Region to fund on mass, rescue equipment to the Northern Clubs saw our club gain a new Quad Bike, IRB hull & trailer along with some patrol incidentals, took pressure off local funders. The allocation of this much-needed equipment is determined through an audit of club equipment at the end of each season. This support from ASB is much appreciated.

Also of note was the gift of $80,000 towards our building fund from local businessman Merv Huxford. These funds will help cover the associated costs of the consent process, which we are currently progressing through. Thankyou Merv.

Our patrols this season again saw the increase in usage of our beach plus an increase in need for a patrol to be stationed at Wenderholm from time to time. This is a growing trend seen to be developing, with a number of clubs now patrolling beaches out side of their base beach. The need for us to be mobile & the expectation the club has on its patrols is ever changing. We are still very much a need driven organisation in this respect.

Our competition team continues to grow. A slight change in focus & direction next season will hopefully see greater member retention. The transition of members from Junior to Senior club, which has always been an issue, should become easier & seamless than in the past. With the departure of our successful coach of 5 seasons Andrew Towns sees the end of an era. The introduction of a new coach in Chester Edwards is an exciting prospect. We all look forward to the continued success of our members in the sport arena.

Once again we were fortunate to have a hard working executive committee, led by our chairman John Chapman, who is reducing his work load by handing over the reigns of Team Manager next season. A sign that the capability & management base within the club is growing. Interestingly enough there are only 3 office holders that are standing down from positions on the committee at this seasons AGM, which is a healthy sign.

In closing I would like to thank the entire Orewa membership who have all contributed to the club in their own ways.

To all of our key sponsors & business house sponsors, who are all listed in this Annual Report, thank you for your continued support.

Thank you to Surf Life Saving New Zealand & Northern Region Inc. for their support both financial & intellectual.

Also Rodney District Council now Council, we thank you for your support & a working relationship that continues to move us forward.

Looking forward to another season,

Wayne Franich.

- 6 - Chairman’s Report

This year we celebrated our 60 th anniversary and the season started in terrific fashion with a highly enjoyable reunion at Labour Weekend with a good spread of past and present members, including Katz Mackie our last surviving foundation member.

It was inspiring to hear Katz talk of our early days and the hard conditions our early members had to endure. We received nothing but good feedback from all those that attended and most old members who have not had any contact with the club for years were truly impressed with the facilities, how we now operate and the skill level of today’s lifeguards.

It was another tough year for us in some ways as the world slowly recovers from the recession. Our financial position has improved somewhat and we are working to find more revenue sources so we can provide equipment and resources needed by all members.

We had a number of members recognised by Surf Lifesaving Northern Region and Surf Lifesaving New Zealand for their service to surf lifesaving at all levels. They are listed elsewhere in this report. Congratulations to you all and thank you on behalf of the club for your efforts on all our behalf.

Special congratulations to Faron Turner who was named Surf Lifeguard of the Year by Northern Region. Recognition which is thoroughly deserved for Faron and the many many hours he puts in patrolling, Instructing, Examining and the other work he does at Club, District and national levels. This is the second time Faron has won this prestigious award which is very rare. Faron now is up for consideration for the New Zealand Surf Lifeguard of the Year and we wish him luck.

We continued to provide a first class lifeguarding service on Orewa Beach and extended our services to Wenderholm for the first time in a number of years where we mounted satellite patrols over the peak holiday period. That was very well received and we plan to expand that next season.

Head counts on the beach remain high and our incident statistics increase as a result. We again had a number of serious incidents including a fatality for the second year in a row. We must all be mindful that we have a serious job to do in providing lifesaving services to the public.

Credit and thanks to our Instructors who work away in the background ensuring that all our lifeguards are prepared for any emergency. I encourage all our lifeguards to make an effort to obtain higher qualifications to better prepare you for the day when you will be placed in a life threatening emergency situation. That may not even be on the beach.

At the end of the season we spent sometime looking at our programmes and services and we are making some changes next season – hopefully for the better. As a club we always need to change to make sure we are doing the right thing by our members. We are open to suggestions – so if you have some ideas please voice these.

Everyone in a club participates in some way to the success of the whole organisation. Thanks to you all for your work over the year. We cannot survive without volunteers and it

7 appreciated the time that you all individually contribute. I especially want to mention Heather Hilder, our Administrator. While she is a paid employee, Heather does a fantastic job, largely unseen by most and takes a tremendous workload off the shoulders of the club officers.

I would also like to acknowledge some of our senior lifeguards/athletes that are staring to come forward in leadership roles within the club. We are very aware that we need to develop future leaders within our own ranks and it is great to see these guys and girls stepping up and taking on responsibility.

During the year, Surf Lifesaving New Zealand implemented Project Groundswell which saw the centralisation of the organisation nationwide and the cessation of separate district bodies. We now report directly to SLS New Zealand. Operationally our services and programmes have continued and on the beach there has been no noticeable change, although you will probably see some changes next season. Behind the scenes, there a number administrative and management issues still being worked through by Northern Region clubs.

Thank you again to everyone for another successful year.

John Chapman

Club Captain’s Report

2010-2011 season saw the continued use of the management plan put in place for the 2008/09 and 2010 seasons. Patrols did over all run smoothly through out the year on the whole thanks largely to a core group of hard out life guards. Most continued to meet their volunteer hrs but a unsettling amount of you have not reached the minimums this season with the effect of the club having to lean heavily on some of our patrolling members. The example of this is our top 10 patrollers completing over 50hrs each with the most hrs served by 1 member 114hrs (Mr Turner ) the Top 3 of them all over 80 each.

The season saw - 3589 volunteer hrs completed, up from last year at 3327 volunteer hrs Rescues up from 10 rescues to 16 Searches up from 8 to 15 First aids noted at 122 Preventable actions 1034 More public, more service

I take this opportunity to thank you for all your efforts through out the year and would encourage you to continue down this path. We have continued a push to up skill our guard membership, youth and leadership development programs with the help of Dave J and his team. The club has continued to grow over the last year so we are still constantly looking not only to meet minimum patrol requirements, but to exceed them.

John Chapman has been working closely with other coordinated groups such as the civil defence through out the year and will continue forward with this.

This season saw satellite patrols at Wendeholm through the Christmas New Year period which I should thank those members for there support.

More beaches hopefully spells more possible grants.

Ian Siddins 8 Chief Instructor’s Report

Overall, while it was a fairly quiet season, the Club’s current capability level is very close to that prescribed by the Northern Region (refer to Table 1) and is expected to meet or exceed most of these criteria by the start of the 2011/12 patrolling season.

The 2010/11 season saw numerous changes in the playing field for maintaining and developing the capability of the Club’s patrolling members. From an administrative standpoint, a number of key contacts now exist, namely Simon Bell (CDO) and Keri James (Lifesaving First Aid) who are able to assist greatly with co-ordinating development activities and courses. Increased dialogue with instructors at Red Beach has also allowed us to provide opportunities for sharing resources and arranging large enough training sessions to be hosted locally.

The Club taking on a new Chief Instructor coupled with the changes at regional and national level over the season has created some uncertainty and confusion however the hard work of numerous individuals at this Club and at the MRC have helped us negotiate the season fairly solidly.

I would like to make a point of acknowledging the years of work and effort that Nick Tomkins (Skelly) has put into the Chief Instructor role at the Club (among numerous other roles). You have definitely earned a break but it would be great to see you back instructing if you can fit it in!

Surf Lifeguard Award

Relatively few candidates (11) qualified for their SLGA this season possibly brought about by lower C13 (and Rookie) numbers coming through and a complete absence of older parent candidates.

9 A few changes in process are being trialled to streamline the training and examination process. • Instead of responding directly to demand, the majority of training will occur in 3 main times over a season; over winter – qualifying prior to the patrolling season, in Oct/Nov – qualifying in Dec, and Mar/Apr – qualifying end of patrolling in May, • Team-based training reduces individual workload and gives candidates exposure to different instructors, • Candidates will not be registered for an exam until they have completed their workbooks and can adequately demonstrate they are ready (including be able to pass the pool swim).

Goals for 2011/12 season; • Qualify 25 or more candidates • Increase direct promotion of SLGA process to Nipper parents, • Zero failure rate for SLGA candidates, • Qualify another 2 or 3 instructors, • Qualify one more examiner.

Thanks to Alaina Green, Sarah Jenkinson, Mark Johnston for your help with the SLGA training this season. Thanks Macca and Faron and the rest of the examiners for your efforts as well.

SLGA Refreshers

A successful Club Refresher day was held on Saturday Dec 11 th where some 48 patrolling members (50% at that time) refreshed, including all IRB drivers. The emphasis for the day was on refreshing and reinforcing lifeguard knowledge though it was more likely that the BBQ, spot prizes, and a chance to get together early in the season were the greater incentive to attend. Nevertheless, a high attendance reduces workload on patrol captains and instructors and ensures less problems when competition time draws near.

Goals for 2011/12 season; • Attract 70% or more of patrolling members to the refresher, • Complete 90% of refreshers prior to Christmas.

Thanks to all the spot prize sponsors and the instructors who helped out on the day. 10 IRB

There was little activity for most of the season in this area, due primarily to lack of available instructors. Fortunately there were just marginally enough operators to see us through the season. As of May, seven IRB drivers and another 2 crew are being instructed by Andrew “Gordon” Meiklejohn, who will qualify as an instructor with them in August. This is all being done with the newly released training manual and workbooks under the mentoring of Faron Turner. It is likely that the winter period will continue as the ideal period for IRB training as the patrolling season is often too busy.

Thanks Andrew and Faron for your efforts in this area.

Goals for 2011/12 season; • Successfully qualify the current candidates and begin training at least another 6 by the end of the patrolling season, • Qualify at least two IRB instructors, • Increase our IRB examiners from 1 to 2.

VHF Radio Operators

No candidates completed the VHF Radio Operator’s course, however the 7 IRB operator candidates are now required to gain their certificate as part of their IRB qualification and therefore will be undertaking training in August.

Goals for 2011/12 season; • Convince all IRB Operators, Patrol Captains and Vice Patrol Captains to gain their certification,

First Aid

First Aid training ran successfully this season with a total of 49 guards qualified or refreshed (see Table 1).

The 2010/11 season was the first season to have training delivered by SLSNZ’s Lifesaving First Aid. They are able to deliver first aid training specifically tailored for lifeguarding and are able to successfully co-ordinate training sessions with multiple surf clubs so are a welcome addition to the organisation. Recent changes include significant changes to the unit standards provided and minor changes to CPR techniques (again). The First Aid Level One course builds upon the knowledge gained as part of the Surf Lifeguard Award process and hence can be delivered in just one day.

Big thanks to the Logan Campbell Trust fund for providing $1500 to put toward First Aid training this season.

Thanks also to for providing us with an ideal training venue at no cost.

Goals for 2011/12 season; • Maintain our excellent numbers of advanced first aiders (L2 & L3), • Work to qualify all new lifeguards in First Aid Level 1 or Level 2 within their first season.

11 Other qualifications/activities

Youth Leadership Development Camp Toni Burke, Julie Sweetman, Jarrod Olsen, and William Fergus were all nominated and attended the annual camp at Motutapu and from all accounts had a great time and learned much about what it takes to be a leader.

We will make a point of nominating suitable candidates every year for this valuable experience as these are often our future PC’s and Exec Committee members.

Intermediate Guard School Brad Shanks attended the Bethell’s camp in April. We will encourage more members to attend what is a challenging but rewarding weekend.

Patrol Captain’s course No members attended the course this season. This is a valuable course for all PC’s and VPC’s and therefore all should be encouraged to attend.

Board Rescue module A new and recognised (but optional) lifeguard qualification was release this season. A small trial session in January with Tom Burgess proved most valuable. We will look to host at least two board rescue module sessions this season.

Here’s to a successful and prosperous season ahead!

Dave Jenkinson

12 Team Manager Report

The past year saw our sports programme continue as it has for a number of years now and while our team maintained its high standards and we recorded some great individual results, we did not perhaps collectively perform as we should have. There were a number of factors for that, nothing major but certainly the signs were there that we need to review how we are delivering our sport programme.

Perhaps the most important event off the beach was structural in that as a result of the recession, we could no longer afford to maintain a full time Coach. This ultimately led to Andrew Towns not renewing his contract and he and his family have returned to Australia.

Personally, I want to thank Andrew for what he achieved in his 5 years with us. He has very high standards as a coach and I hope those he coached learnt from his approach. A surf coach’s role is not easy with having to cater to a wide age group (of both sexes) and an even wider skill set within a club. Andrew handled this well and managed to develop our athletes admirably. We wish him well in his future endeavours.

The season had a number of highlights with some strong showings at the regular season events, including the Pool Champs.

Unfortunately, our team’s performance was hampered at the District Champs by an event clash and a number of our athletes not being able to attend.

Also, the NRCs and Nationals were both seriously impacted by weather and natural disasters. It did make for interesting trips but very frustrating.

Orewa had a number of members selected in various SLSNR representative teams which reflects our strength and the high caliber of our athletes. Congratulations to you all who are mentioned elsewhere.

Rachel Clarke and Teneale Hatton both represented New Zealand at the International Challenge in January which was held to celebrate SLSNZ’s centenary. To have two New Zealand reps in our club is a significant achievement – well done girls.

A further reflection of the quality of our athletes is several members being selected in New Zealand Kayaking teams (Sam Wilson, Teneale Hatton, Jack Wilson, Julie Sweetman and Zac Franich) who are competing internationally with distinction – well done.

Of course, the results achieved by our athletes is not possible without the input of coaches, management, officials and supporters. A big thanks to all those who contributed to the success of our team. There are too many to name here but your help is appreciated.

Our Boat Crews continued to perform at a high level and it is great to see younger crews coming into the sport and achieving success. It’s also great to see some of the senior rowers putting something back to the club by taking up sweeping themselves. Stu Handford and Mark McCarthny continue to be the backbone of boat rowing in our club – thanks guys for the many hours you put in.

There is going to be a big surge in Canoe paddling right across the country in the next couple of years – an area of surf sports which has been the poor cousin for some time.

13 We have a group of keen young (and not so young) paddlers who want to be involved in that. This is one aspect of surf sports that we will focus on for further development.

Peter Young has continued to work with our Land Crabs and works away quietly in the background. His input into the whole team at major events is valued by everyone.

I say this every year, but all members of the team represented the club with distinction and are excellent ambassadors for our club at all levels of competition. Thanks to the team for their behaviour and good attitude. That was particularly appreciated after the frustrations of the NRCs and Nationals.

Our team spirit continues to be strong with our environment and culture the envy of many other clubs. It is really great to see how all the team members support each other on the beach (and off). Our senior athletes are now old enough to provide leadership and mentoring to the younger ones within the team and they are doing a great job in nurturing the younger athletes.

As I said above, we have had a detailed review of our sports programme and next season will see a number of changes.

As you all know, we have appointed a new Head Coach in Chester Edwards and I know that he will prove to be a valued asset to the club. He will have a different approach to what we are used to and that will be a good thing in that we need to keep changing to keep fresh.

I have stood down as Team Manager after nearly 10 years (largely enjoyable ones too). I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in this role and thank everybody for their support over the years. With the changes that we are bringing in, the time is right to have a new hand on the helm and Warwick Sisson has agreed to take on this role. He has my full support (and sympathy). I know that Warwick will do a fine job.

Good luck for next season.

John Chapman

14 Junior Surf Report

At the 2010/2011 debrief evening I asked the coaches and managers to tell me their highlights of the season. What commonly emerged was the joy that the coaches took from seeing young kids grow and meet their own potential. It was about each child reaching their own goal. Sometimes this is hard to define. There are those children who have a strong desire to win and be the top of their age group. For others, it was simply to paddle a board on their knees, or to achieve their 200 metre patch. Our challenge is to try and meet all these needs within each age group. The coaching job is not an easy one. I recognise that most coaches commence coaching, to be part of their children’s sport, yet at the conclusion look back and realize that often their children receive less attention than the others, so I wish to personally thank all the coaches and managers. Equally, I ask all parents to please remember to show your appreciation on a regular basis to the coaches and managers of your age group.

My goal this year is to improve the experience of new parents to the Club. Some of the feedback we receive is that new parents take a long time to feel part of the Club and its culture, and to learn its ways. The Committee will be introducing an orientation package for new parents, and implementing Parent Ambassadors. These will be parents who have been around the club for a while, and who new parents can approach for advice and information without feeling they are taking up the time of the Coaches and Managers, particularly on busy carnivals and training days. Again, I call on all experienced Club parents to identify newcomers and make them feel welcome to the awesomeness that is Orewa Surf Club.

My second goal this year is to reinforce our ethos that surf club should be fun for the whole family. The first change will be to introduce Friday trainings. If an age group only has one training session a week, it will be Friday. We want kids and parents not to feel in a rush to get home after training, and I encourage parents to enjoy a drink and snacks or dinner in the bar afterwards while the kids play with their mates on their beach. We have some other really cool ideas that will unfold throughout the season. Watch this space!

So, when the winter hibernation is finally over, I look forward to once again seeing you all in the soup.
