This season has been an outstanding one for our Club when you measure our accomplishments in the areas of Lifesaving, Education, Competition, Administration and Finance. To be able to state that “No Lives were Lost” whilst Patrols were on duty should never be understated. It is the cornerstone of our existence. I congratulate our Patrol Captains for their dedicated service and outstanding leadership and as well, to all our Patrolling Members, I salute you all for your incredible efforts.

At the “Annual Blue & Gold Gala Presentation Night” – which was run under a new format and was an excellent night. We saw our Club Members honoured by the peers as recipients of the Club’s Most Prestigious Awards: Ben Smollet – “C.N. Rees Memorial Trophy” – Most Outstanding Club Member of the Year. Jason Gallon – “Mario Peryman Memorial Trophy” – Lifesaver of the Year. Joel Eaton – “Tom Payne Memorial Grant” – Outstanding contribution to a specific Club area. Our Nipper Section under the direction of Michelle Sheldon and her team, had a very challenging but rewarding year. The overall membership numbers were slightly down on previous seasons and the surf conditions at normal Sunday events and NSW Age State Championship were not ideal for learning, development and increasing their competition skills of our future Lifesavers. The number of Surf Rescue Certificates awarded at beginning of the year was a great result with over 50 SRCs awarded to our Under-14 Nippers – who are our future Lifesavers and we will have next season a similar number of Nipper Members gaining their first SLSA Award. To all Nipper Members who officiated and provided education as part of SLS Sydney Board of Junior Development activities – thank you for your time and effort Craig McKinniery, President. and to our Members who performed Water Safety at carnivals and our Sunday events – your efforts are greatly President’s Report appreciated by the Club.

Ben Smollett, Finance Director.

Ben Smollett, Finance Director. Finance Director’s Report As Finance Director and on behalf of the Board of Directors I am proud to present the 2012-2013 Audited Financial Statements. The Financial Statements show a profit of $3,804 for the year (2012 $6,288). Cash generated from operating activities during this Financial Year of $77,287 – was invested in Capital Equipment for Lifesaving, Clubhouse Assets and Competition to value of $77,872. As such there has been a minor increase in cash held of $4,326. One key area I would like to direct your attention to, is Club Revenue of $759,403 (2012 – $759,332). This points out no increase in revenue for the 2013 financial year. With continual increases in building and operational costs, we must be sure to work hard to increase our revenue streams to ensure we can support the ever increasing costs associated with operating a Surf Club. These results indicate that although we carry the status as a registered charity, it is constant challenge to obtain new Sponsors and maintain current Club Sponsorship and donation revenue. Members need to work hard supporting our contributors to ensure we receive their continued support.

In our Volunteer Organisation, there are many more examples in addition to those listed that demonstrate that as a volunteer – we do make a difference to the community – volunteers change lives and in the case of our institution we make a difference in that we can and do save a life. The Volunteer Movement is the most important mechanism in this country for capturing the values of caring and compassion and mateship and going the extra mile and looking after one’s fellow Australian. No better example of the caring, compassion and mateship that we provide, was demonstrated on the final day of the Patrol Season for 2012-2013. Whilst celebrating the Annual “Bloody Slow Cup” results, sitting the in Judd Room, by himself, reading a book and having a beer was David Gingell – a tourist from England. David was in Australia on a family holiday and felt it important to visit North Cronulla to “have a beer” – why? Whilst previously visiting Australia in 2008, David was rescued whilst swimming at North Cronulla. By all accounts he was in significant difficulties and as he recalls he “thought he was gone”.

Tracey McKinniery, Club Secretary. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I present for your consideration and adoption the 88th Annual Report and Financial Statements of North Cronulla Surf Life Saving Club for the Season 2012-2013. Another season has come to an end and we now have the opportunity to reflect on the achievements and in some cases, the disappointments we experienced as a Club during the past season. I’m unsure how other Board Members feel, but in my first year it feels like one continuous season. Once again, we can say No Lives Lost during the Rescued English Tourist David Gingell, with Ben Smollett season. As a Surf Life Saving Club, we should never forget Braden Fleming and Craig McKinniery. that this is and will always be our primary objective. As a Club we are extremely fortunate to have a fantastic On returning to England in 2008, David took the time team of Members who have dedicated their service to this to write and thank the Club for their efforts from which a objective and as such, they freely devoted their time to reply was forwarded from the then Club Captain, with an keeping our beach safe and expect nothing in return. invitation to join Members at the Club any time for a beer Worthy of note are our Members who have over 100 should he return to Australia.

Page 11 Club Captain’s Report With so much activity going on around our great Club, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to summarise a year that was in my Annual Report – but I will give it a go. So where should I start, but with the heart and soul of our Club – Lifesaving and Education. Another year has gone by and another year that our Patrols have performed magnificently with “No Lives Lost” on our beach this summer. Our Patrol Captains have again led the way displaying great professionalism and vigilance while guiding their Patrol Members with support from the Vice-Captains and experienced Members. Congratulations to those Members that received the Award at our Presentation Night for “Outstanding contribution to Patrols” – and what a great “Family” result with Brigitte Duffy taking out most outstanding Junior Patrol Person and her father Gavin, taking out best Patrol Captain – well deserved. I would also like to make a special mention of Amanda Duran, for her phenomenal effort in achieving 10 years 100% Patrol Attendance. Well done Amanda. Jason Gollan and his crew of Trainers trained over 200 of our Members gaining Awards from SRC to Gold Medallions – a lot of time and effort which is appreciated. Jason was also the worthy recipient of the “Mario Peryman Memorial Trophy” for “Lifesaver of the Year”. I must make a note that we have another 54 SRC Club Captain, Jamie Primmer. Members moving into the Senior Section next season and performing Patrols. Remember, it is everyone’s duty to McKinniery did a superb job organising the night and it make sure we guide and mentor these young Lifesavers was great to see the whole Club come together for the and ensure they are on a pathway through the Club that is night.

North Cronulla’s achievements have been well documented in the Leader Newspaper this year, thanks to the fantastic work of our Club Media Liaison Officer – Karon McGrath. Karon performs her role with professionalism and is diligent in the way she approaches each event, so we have not only had the most exposure in the Leader for many years, but she has also formed a relationship with the Leader that keeps us in good stead into the future. There were two Award Ceremonies this year, with the “Branch Awards of Excellence” and our own Presentation Night. We had a number of Members recognised at the Branch Dinner, but it was great to see our hard working Officials recognised – with Ben Dillon and Mike Day taking out the Main Awards in their Section. What a great evening Club Captain’s Awards: our own Presentation Night was. Secretary Tracey “Best Senior” – Joel Eaton. “Best Junior” – Trent Purdie.

Page 12 Youth Development Director’s Report This season has been extremely impressive looking on from outside – as well as being involved in a number of roles. To me one of the most critical issues faced by both North Cronulla and SLS nationally, is about Member Retention and Member Satisfaction. I also feel both are closely aligned in many ways and we need to create “Opportunity through Diversity”. Not everyone wants to be or is capable of being a Champion Competitor or an Administrator or Trainer or even a “Super Lifesaver”! Not everyone wants to surf or paddle a ski – or do whatever discipline is available, but there are plenty who do – so our role is creating opportunity. On the tower at the Interclub. We create the opportunity by having the diverse range of options and both seeking answers and asking the questions about what individuals want and what makes them happy. Supporting and finding out about who are and what is the role of our Patrol Captains and Vice Captains, our IRB Sections including the Drivers and Crew, Training & Education, Nippers, Surfing/Board Riding and all of the Sections within the Club help to create opportunity. What is it that you like and what do you want to do? I or we as a Club, may not have all the answers, but we are happy to listen to what you want. Member Retention is critical so how do achieve this and specifically what is it that we need to do? We need to strive to do this and do our bit locally and for the bigger picture that is Surf Life Saving. We need to develop and maintain existing and new sustainable Under 14 Girls. frameworks that help to both create programs and opportunities that individuals feel comfortable with and happy to do. The tricky bit about Member Retention is finding out what is relevant to everyone – and in so many ways we are definitely doing this, but cannot afford to take our eye of the ball. The future is in our hands and currently it looks pretty bright to me – so be a part of it. Regards. Lee Howell JP – Youth Development Director.

Page 14 IRB Section Report The 2012-2013 Season has been another great one for the IRB Section. We have continued our fantastic growth in Members with large groups of IRB Crewman and Drivers Awards gained. As a result, we have had a Duck Driver on every Patrol for the season. This would not be possible without our Trainers – Sam Freeman and Darren Thorne. A big credit is due to these guys, as they pass on valuable information to help keep our Surf Club going. Also a big thanks to everyone who assisted me with can laying duties at carnivals this year. It’s always a tough gig being first on the water and last off – and with the Branch seeking to add more carnivals to the calendar every year. Remember, without this valuable workforce – the carnivals do not go ahead! Our growth in patrolling and retention of IRB Members can also be closely linked to our strong footing in IRB Competition. Due to our successful results last season our recruitment and retention was maintained. Since the reintroduction of IRB Competition six years ago – the Section has kept improving with the numbers of Members and the quality of the gear we use for Patrolling and Competition. During the 2012 Season, we had 27 Members competing, with at least one Crew in all disciplines – a first time for us as a Section in a very long time. What this equalled with hard work by the Crews and lots and lots of testing of gear was results. 2012 was some of the best results I believe we have ever had as a Club. In the NSW IRB Premiership Series, we finished third overall in the had. At the IRB Australian at Ocean Beach this year, we State, with seven Medals at the end – our best result ever made our first Australian Final since 2000 and a heap of improving from the seventh last year. At the NSW IRB other Semi-Finals in tricky big surf. It showed that we will State Titles, we finished fifth overall – with five Medals and be strong contenders for the Aussies at Darwin in 2013. a numerous amount of Finals with fourth and fifth places Last year was the first time we ever had any IRB athletes in the Mens, Under-23s, 35+ and Women’s Divisions – make the NSW Interstate Team – with three of our Club which was great considering the number of injuries we Members being selected for the 2012 Season – we had five Members selected for both the NSW Interstate Team and the NSW High Performance Team to compete in the IRB Interstate Championships. I was fortunate enough to be the Captain of the High Performance Team, a great honour to represent my home State two years in a row. Big congratulations to Kane Hughes, Jarrad Kucler, Mitch Cardy and Samuel Freeman, who I was able to not only to call Club Team Mates, but also State Team Mates. I think if we looked back five years ago, this would have been a mere pipe dream for us to be competing at this level. Another first for the Section was to attend our first Rescue World Lifesaving Championships in Glenelg, SA. We had some tremendous results by making a number of Finals to gain valuable points. In the end, we finished 13th in the World as a Club – a great achievement from a small team of 10, going against teams of 30+ Competitors. All this wouldn’t have been possible without our fantastic core group of Sponsors. A big thank you to Caltex, who have a new boat on the way, the SUS Club, All Vehicle Restraints, Alan Freeman, Tradies – and last but not least the Holt Group, who donated a new boat, trailer and motor this year. Our Sponsors ensure the safety of our beaches and our success in the Competition Arena. Once again thank you for your support – and I look forward to an ongoing future with your support. Last but not least, a big thank you to Bobby Lovell – he has given me so much support over the last six years as IRB Captain – it makes my job much easier! Thank you and I look forward to your support for the upcoming season. Joel Eaton, IRB Captain.

Page 16 Club Historian’s Report Once again, I pay tribute to the willing band of workers – Bill Bofinger, Shirley Cameron, Betty Brown, Margaret Sorensen and Darien Fleming – who meet every Wednesday morning to record and update the records and achievements of all Club Members, as well as keeping a scrap book of all publicity by the press on the activities of not only North Cronulla, but of what is happening in the Bate Bay area. One of the many tasks also undertaken is the establishing of the years of service given to the Surf Life Saving Association, so Members may receive their respective Surf Life Saving Awards for the years of service they have given. The commencement for these Awards it is understood to be from the time a Member starts their Patrol on the Beach. Another direction by Surf Lifesaving is to have all Members with a registration number – this requires a large amount of time and effort as the girls go through each Member’s Record Sheet and record the number.

If there is a job that needs some “muscle” around the Club, then it falls upon these chaps to roll up their sleeves and get “stuck into it”!

Page 19 the call. For our Officials with kids in Nippers, we appreciate the time you devote to for our kids at carnivals. We also had some new parents come forward this year to complete either their Junior Official’s Course or Official’s Course. This is a great effort and hopefully we will be able to strengthen our ranks with more parents in the coming season. A special thanks goes to Tony Hughes and Mike Day, for all of their time and effort. We had 35 parents obtain their Bronze Medallion this season – that is a fantastic effort. Without our Water Safety, Nippers would not be on each week – as we need these people for the safety of our children. Our Water Safety mums and dads, for two hours each Nipper day, protect our kids and keep them safe. Thanks to all our Water Safety and Allan Moore for all his efforts every Sunday morning coordinating the activities. This season we had 53 of our Under-14 Nippers complete their SRC. Trained by Jason Gollan and his team, these kids went on to help our younger kids with skills and Water Safety throughout the season. They are great role models for our younger kids and wish them well in the future and we look forward to seeing them in the “Red & Yellow” on the beach on a weekend. Week after week, we have people that manage and mentor our kids on a Sunday morning. To start, our Squad Leaders every week organize our kids to all their different activities, ensure they make their events when competing at carnivals, keep parents and kids informed of what is Michelle Sheldon, Under-14 Director. coming up etc. I am sure you will all agree, they do a fantastic job with our kids and we thank them for their Youth Development commitment.

We began with Registration and Swim Proficiencies in September/October.

The most important thing is that everyone was safe in the water and there were no major incidents. A highlight was that two Nippers were involved in rescuing some members of the public on a Sunday morning. Early season, we received the new rules from National SLSA on high visibility tops. The “Pink Rashie” was adopted ahead of schedule by the Club – and the beach looked a sight with all the children in pink! October is always a big adventure for Nippers and particularly the Under-9s first year – swimming around the buoy way out back on an ugly October day, in cold water that your parents struggle to swim around.

Page 38 training, the 100% success achieved in these Awards would never have been achieved. So thank you all for your time, patience and understanding it is great to know we all have the same goals. After the initial chaos of the SRC and BM a further three groups of Bronze Medallion candidates were trained with the same 100% success for a total of 63 Bronze Medallions. With the ongoing guidance of Scott Marshall, both Steve Cardy and I were able to complete our ARTC Training Officers Accreditation, allowing us to train and present a further 32 ARTC candidates for assessment, with all passing and further strengthening our quality of Patrol Awards for the Club. Steve’s previous life as an Ambulance Paramedic has been paramount in the success of all our candidates, as his knowledge and mentoring in this advanced life support award, is second to none. The IRB Section with Joel and Darren, saw a total of 13 people gain their IRB Crew Certificates, which adds to strengthen our Patrols and IRB Race Team. The issue of Proficiencies remains one area where the Education and Training Section needs to focus on – so as to make it as fluid as possible, yet meet the requirements of Surf Life Saving’s own requirements. This year saw a total of nine Proficiencies being conducted over various weekends, with most people attending – to most people’s surprise, even “Boaties” had Jason Gollan, Education & Training Director. a large contingent early on and managed to get through it without too much problem. However, like most years, there was always the last Education & Training minute rush and we did have to beg for an extraordinary Director’s Report Proficiency to be carried out Under-the guidance of Sydney Branch, which is the only real disappointment I had over Wow – where to begin, this season has been a blur to say the season. the least, but also very rewarding.

Page 47 2013 State Team To make the NSW State Team takes a lot of determination, loads of training and dedication. I was privileged to become a Member of this season’s NSW State Surf Life Saving Team. I came away from this event learning a lot of things and gained experience on what it is like to be competing alongside and against some of the best athletes in Australia. It was a great experience to be taken under the guide of Team Captains like Ironwoman and Olympic Kayaker – Naomi Flood and Pool Rescue expert – Andrew Bowden, who both have so much experience in racing. The Team Coach Geoff Mowbray, has had a lot of experience as a Coach and was able to pass his knowledge and expertise down to give me the best chance at racing. Being part of the Team, I learnt a lot from him and knew that we as a Team and myself as an individual, would be able to race to the best of our ability. I could have only got to this point representing North Cronulla, Sydney Branch and NSW – with the help from all of my Coaches. Steve and Wal can handle any situation and without Coaches like them, I would not have made it to where I am now. the Interstate Championships was amazing. Also my Swimming Coach Leanne Speechly, the Everyone knew that every single Team Member had one that gets up and comes to the pool at 5.00am put in their all – to come out on top and beat every morning, to teach the proper technique needed Queensland. to be a good swimmer.

Page 52 Beach Section Report A mixed year on the beach. We had some great results at the big carnivals, but it was frustrating that (for a variety of reasons) we couldn’t get all our Beach Stars onto the starting line. I’m convinced that if we had, we’d have been a real threat to the stronger Beachie’s Clubs – such as Stanwell Park, Manly and Cronulla. Encouragingly, we seem to have a strong and growing 2km Run Section. Ollie Hoare continues to dominate his Age Group (Under-17) – winning the Australian, State and every other race he entered this season. We’d have to go back quite some time before any one (or team) has been so dominant. At the Australian – Drew Nuttalll, Matt Day, Hannah Goman and Lili Gorman-Brown also finished in the top dozen in their respective events. At the State, they Lochie Davis (left) and Nathan Nolan. all managed to get points for the Club. On the Track, Matt Day got a well-earned individual At the Interclub, with the help of Members from all Bronze Medal in the Under-15 Beach Sprint at the around the Club, we fielded competitors in all events and Australian.

Our venerable Masters also deserve accolades. Vanessa Cawley, Linda Hawkins and Gladys Honer all got points for the Club at the Australian. Thanks as usual to Damien Bulian and Kristy Smith, for helping with Coaching. Our Beach Competitors need to fully avail themselves of such coaching talent. To all the volunteers working behind the scenes who have enabled our competitors to get to the start line – thanks heaps! Looking forward to seeing you back on the beach next season.

By the last sessions on the Saturday, the two Bobs, “Tubby” and Gladys, could not see a deduction. Wheeling and Spacing were cured and the backline was hitting the pole and closing the gate perfectly.

Special mention to our Section “Boot Camp” Fitness Co-ordinator Linda Hawkins – thank you for taking off your “Boaty hat” and lending your expertise and time to help the Section increase fitness and strength. The weekly sessions were loved (and somewhat loathed) by all the Competitors and was a great way for all the Teams to come together weekly for a common goal. Finally an extra special thank you to Brian Cowan, who was always there for the Section assisting us with tents and even setting up a special Cowan ute, to transport the reels to every carnival. This made going to carnivals so much easier this season! Lastly to the competitors – thanks for a great summer, you have all been so great, carrying things for me, making me laugh and keeping me entertained and informed even when I couldn’t be there with you at Aussies.

Page 56 As the season progressed, the results were fair, reflecting more their natural talent to harmonise as a Team, than the minimalist preparation performed. A Gold in the Open Women’s and a Silver in the Under- 19s at Sydney Branch – a Bronze in the Under-19s and fourth in the Open Women’s at the State and then a Bronze in the Open Women’s and fourth in the Under-19s at the Aussies. In the frame – but only just. The bright spots for the Team’s development were firstly, the broadening of the experience base within the Team, with new roles being learnt, secondly – the Team’s personal best points improving to two points and thirdly – but most importantly, they still appear to be having loads of fun just doing R & R.

Joining them was another seasoned competitor Stephanie Buncombe from last year’s 19 team and then two total novices to the sport Trish Cowan and Monika DiMaio. We started the season somewhat early for an open team due to the fact we had a very new team with a lot to learn. Trish and Monika impressed me by picked things up pretty quickly but making the team gel into a synchronised unit took a fair chunk of the season with some ‘anatomy’ issues to overcome and some definite strength building required.

A season in which to rebase, amidst the distractions of HSC and settling into University with more time being allocated to work and social pursuits. So who wants to go marching, marching up and down the beach? Training for a third of the hours standard for prior seasons, with negligible coaching supervision at carnivals – a line up change with a new Patient – Sydney Cramb and rotation of roles between Alex Stoke Hughes in Belt, Kate Boyd on the Reel and Erin Cowan and Kate Jansen switching Linesmen positions.

Page 57 During the season, the girls continued to display the same determination, dedication and commitment to training and competition that they have shown for the past four years Anything I asked of them they gave me without question or hesitation. They also performed so consistently strongly at carnivals that their performances often attracted compliments from the Judges and Officials of other Clubs. They continued this form into the Aussies, where they secured spots in three Finals – Under-17s, Under-19s and Opens. Unfortunately, however on the final day of the Aussies – even though we continued with our strong performances on the beach – the Aussie Gold remained elusive. Thank you girls for all your hard work. You are a great bunch – who made my job as a Coach enjoyable and entertaining. I am proud of you all and would love to see you all back next season. Karen Goman – Coach.

Within a month of starting, they competed at their first major carnival – Sydney Branch, where they finished with Craig “Styx” McKinniery. a Silver. They then went on to the State, where they placed sixth, only marginally behind the three Medal Winners. Then at the Aussies, they took it up another notch and surprised everyone by finishing third in the Heat and fourth in the Final, on a quadruple countback. They were so close to a Medal and considering their inexperience in the event and their first Australian Titles, this was a sensational effort. Thank you to the parents of both Teams, who were so supportive of me throughout the season. It makes the job of Coach so much easier and more rewarding to have the back-up of parents. Lastly, thank you to Taleisha, Grace and Kirra, who were doubling up in two Teams and often were required for training four days a week. It was a great season.

Then it was time to head off to the Junior State Titles, where we were dealt the most atrocious weather possible for three days. Our Team was at its peak and ready to compete, but unfortunately it was decided that R & R would be postponed until the following week and run with the Seniors. This meant we had to turn around a week later after no training and fit around various Senior Events to compete. Unfortunately, we were not given a fair go and only got one run through (a straight out Final) and had very Under-14 5-Person R & R – G.

Swim Section Report It’s encouraging to see the injection of strong swimmers from our youth over the last few years. The Swim Section is starting to build into a formidable force and the future looks extremely promising. Jack Harrison had another strong year and continues to improve, showing that he can mix it with the best at carnivals, in any conditions – keep up the hard work mate. Joel Walker has already established himself as a strong Surf Swimmer at the tender age of 15, with strong results throughout the year – finishing with a State Silver Medal Interclub Male Surf Tace. in the Surf Swim and Gold at the Aussies in the Swim Team. Hot on his heels are the two Lochies – Moyle and Davis – both great Surf Swimmers and I look forward to seeing them team up with our Under-17s next year.

Joel Walker – Rescue Tube. Our young Nippers had some fine performances, competing up in the Seniors and gaining valuable experience when they move into the Senior Section full time next year. Chris Hoare had a phenomenal Surf Swim in the Final of the Under-15 Surf Teams at the Australian Championship and along with Joel Walker, Lochie Davis and Lachie Moyle – came home with the Gold Medal, Kelly Primmer. finishing the race with a total of 14 points – only four points off a perfect score of 10 points. A top effort by these four young blokes. Ethan Garland is another Junior that has a big future in Surf Lifesaving. Competing up an age in the Under-15s Tube Race – he finished a credible fourth in the Final of the Australian Titles and was very unlucky not to end up on the Podium. Hailey Lane is another promising Junior coming through, that stepped up into the Under-15 Girls to help out and had some powerful performances against the older competitors. The above results along with fine performances from our other Age Groups this year, has capped off a fine year in the surf and we look forward to further success next year.

Page 60 Board Riding Section Report Wow! What a season and how much fun and success did we have this year. Growth within is a huge part and by providing the opportunity and diversity of options we assist in Member retention and satisfaction. From the Nipper “Micro Grommets” through to our Under-19s and Open Surfers, we have achieved growth and high achievements in all areas and that is just so good to see. I recently spoke at length with the President of SLSA about the growth and role of Surfing and as we read this, SLSA is seriously considering adding Board Riding to the Interstate Challenge Competitions, as they too realise that Board Riding is on a “wave of success” and they want to come for the ride as well. Our Competitors surfed so well in a lot of local carnivals, except of course the Interclub, mainly because of the changed program and probably the fear of the other three Clubs of how many points North Cronulla would get from Board Riding, even though we did win fair and square this Jazmyn Turner – Third Australian Under-19 Female Board. year without the help – maybe next year – hey Jamie? The State was sensational with our genius Surfer Rory Jenkins leading the charge winning the Under-19 Open Short Board, second in the Open Short Board – which he then backed up a month or so later and achieved the same results at the Aussies on Greenmount in Queensland – fantastic to watch! Also in the Under-19 Males at the State, Jarred Matthes achieved a sensational third in the Short Board with his younger brother Bradley, placing fourth in the Under-15 Short Board. Dani Calo – one of our young ladies charging through, achieved a second in the Open Mal and a fourth in the Short Board. Sensational efforts were also achieved by Ryan Brown, Bronte Howell and a great Team of Surfers who contested virtually every event. The Aussies were held in sensational weather, but varying waves and again we achieved fantastic results and featured all across events every day. The growth is clear when competitors entered for Surfing from 2011-12 to 2012-13 grew from just over 200 to over 540! Huge so watch that wave of competitors Luke Hawkings and Kyle Cameron. rolling though. Great results with as stated Rory winning the Under-19 and second in the Open Short Board. Jaz Turner was third in the Under-19 Female Short Board and Veronica Charles a third in the Under-17 Female Short Board. Our President Craig McKinniery, was outstanding in the Over-50 Masters Mal and was worth the price of admission to watch him alone. Again Dani Calo was so close as was Bronte, Brooke Streater, Luke Hawkings, Luke Calo, Trent Purdie and Kyle Cameron and our genius Under-15s of Bradley and of course Adelaide Robinson, who progressed though and was on fire only to fall unlucky to what we think was a tricky situation and Judging error. I know there were heaps there so hopefully I captured you, but one thing is we did learn a lot and have great plans for next season as we grow as a Section and really enjoy the spirit of Competition. North Cronulla Board Riding is the envy of so many Clubs, as they ask how do we do it and why are we successful. One simple answer –we have fun! Adelaide Robertson. Lee Howell, Board Riding Captain.

Page 61 Ski Section Report The Ski Section has grown again this year in strength and numbers – and in results. We had some exceptional performances and we developed our Ski Squad even more. We were joined this year by three very good Ski Paddlers in Kyle O’Brien in the Opens and Joel Briggs and Aaron Markey in the Under-19s, all these guys added strength to our Teams and enabled us to regularly field Open Six Man Taplin Sides at major carnivals. We also had two sides make the Under-19 Taplin Final at the Aussies. A great Club effort! We were very competitive at all carnivals all season. At the Interclub, Luke and Lara Moses teamed up to win the Open Mixed Double – and Luke teamed up Hayleigh "Team Moses” – Open Mixed Double Ski.

Steve and Wal did a great job coaching the Members from the Under-14 through to Open – at times very demanding on them. Well done guys. We had some good results over the year and some disappointments – but that’s surf! A very big thank you to all the parents who helped out over the year – from the raffles to the towing of gear – (Dene Glasson) – to the Aussies and helping out with the Pool-2-Pool – we couldn’t have done it without all you parents.

I am glad to see so many Nippers wishing to move onto the paddle Boards – which can only go well to strengthen the Section as well as the underground movement called the “NC Chargers”!

We are very grateful for the ongoing support of Colin Mulhall and his entire team – the North Cronulla Boat Section would certainly be in a difficult position without you! This year we also welcomed two new Corporate Partners into the Section – Saxby Cunningham Accountants & Financial Advisers – as well as Hog’s Breath Café Cronulla. We were very pleased to have Leone and Phil (respectively) on board and hope that we can provide them with a meaningful and ongoing involvement.

Open Men – North Cronulla Gold Crew at “Ocean Thunder”. Page 65 Master’s Report The Masters season kicked off a bit earlier than usual for us this season, with three of our Section game enough to brave the cold and travel to Adelaide to compete at the Rescue 2012 World Surf Lifesaving Championships in early November. Gladys Honer, Max Lewis and Karen Goman all had successful trips, managing to secure top 10 places in the World in their chosen events and enjoying the International Competition and a bit of sightseeing while they were there. The next major Competition for Masters was not until Sydney Branch – held in February. Here we welcomed Linda Hawkins, Tony Sokowski and Barry Shuetrumpf as first time Masters Competitors. Linda was very pleased with her Silver in the Sprint, Tony also placed second in the Surf Race and Barry was part of the winning Masters Boat Crew with Nathan Spinner, Andrew Smalley, Brian Clarke and Adam Purdie (Sweep). Some of our more regular masters: Gladys, Shane and Nathan Wallace also won Gold Medals at the Branch. A month later it was time for the NSW Championships where we had two more new Masters recruits: Vanessa Cawley – who scored herself a Silver Medal in the Flags in Linda Hawkins. her first competition and a fourth and fifth in the Sprint and 2km Run and Warren Lobb, who teamed up with Crew of Adam Mulhall, Andrew Smalley, Nathan Spinner, Steve Warren in the Board Rescue – and finished fifth.

Gladys Honer won her first Aussie Masters Medal, with a Bronze in the Sprint then backed that up with two more Bronzes in the 1km Run and the Flags. Vanessa Cawley was fourth in the Sprint and Flags and Linda Hawkins was fifth in the Flags in her Age Category. Congratulations to all the North Cronulla Masters this season – it was a small but successful Team. Next season it would be great to get a few more Masters Teams together. I know there is a lot of Over-30s with their Bronze Medallion, down at North Cronulla, who are still very active. So why not think about getting a Taplin, Ski, Board, Surf or Beach Relay Team together for next summer and have a go. It’s a great excuse to get motivated and do a bit more physical activity and the atmosphere at Masters Carnivals is always relaxed and enjoyable. After all – why should the kids have all the fun? The Masters Boat Section at the Aussies. Karen Goman, Master’s Captain. Page 66 Head Coach’s Report Another fantastic season ended for North Cronulla – and yes, as a Club, we are slowly climbing that mountain step by step nearing the summit. One prominent Member was heard to say “I hope I live to see North Cronulla win another Interclub” – well after an absence of 18 years we did – the “Bill Marshall Trophy” is at North Cronulla. To all the Coaches at North Cronulla – a huge thank you for your precious time that you so readily give up, to pass on your knowledge day in and day out and the Coaches who have none of their own children involved, that is something else – thank you.
