I must start off by thanking the previous Executive Committee, in particular Neil Hough, for establishing a sound base both structu- ally and fi nancially for me to continue to develop and expand. The clubs Executive Committee, General Committee and Club members have all worked together extremely well to provide a posi- tive environment. Our Juniors area has continued to grow and improve. Naomi has done a fantastic job in her fi rst year as Junior’s Representative with the Nipper Surf Education Program. She has brought order into an area which can appear to the outside observer to be complete chaos. She implemented our Sun Smart Policy by ensuring every nipper received a long sleeved rashie, broad brimmed hat and sunscreen, as well as providing shelter and water on the beach during sessions. I must say, our Nippers looked like a unifi ed group at carnivals in their rashies. Terence has kept the Juniors outside Nippers interested by keeping our Youth Leadership Program going. With Juniors running our Nipper Surf Education age groups and becoming trainers for our SRC and Bronze courses, Jan Juc’s youth retention and future look to be in good shape. Luke and his posse have kept the Life Saving Services area in tip top shape. Life Saving Services is the most important role of our Club and, although at the time of writing this report the results of the district patrol competition have not been published, I know that both State Centre inspections performed this season were of an extremely high standard with both patrols experiencing a full point score. Our competition results in both State and National Patrol and First Aid competitions is proof of our high patrolling standards and I know this is an area we can continue to encourage and improve. This year Neil Hough has established the Jan Juc SLSC Foundation, which is an account specifally designed to hold funds for Lifesaving Services. It has been established to accept benelovent president donations from deceased estates or philanthropic organisations and is designed to fund our Lifesaving Steve Jewson Services area in the event the Club experiences times of fi nancial diffi culty and it presently holds $150,000. I thank Neil on behalf of the Jan Juc SLSC members for all his efforts on this important contri- bution to ensure the Club’s fi nancial future. Our competition area is still building. We have a strong group of competitors who are willing to expand competition into other areas such as fi rst aid/patrol competitions and pool competitions. I must congratulate Dean Sibun and Dave Ulbrick for encouraging our young competitors to take on lifesaver competition. This area of competition is growing in numbers at Juc and the standard of our beach patrols is a direct benefi ciary of such competition. We have also continued to make inroads into pool lifesaving. George Quine and Daryl Moss have been working hard to get our younger competitors interested and with State team selection criteria changing, pool competition will be an integral part of the selection process. We are lucky to have a team of dedicated coaches led by Naantali Marshall guiding our competitors and it is hoped that a more diversifi ed training program can be offered next season. Fundraising has been very successful this season. It is the one area of the club which unifi es all sections - Juniors, patrolling members, competitors, parents and associate members. We started off with Bondo’s Golf Day, which is a great day with many members being involved in playing as well as running the event. Bondo always does a fantastic job with this fundraiser and we thank him for his efforts. Four intersection collections were run this season with excellent results. All up, $34,886 was raised, mainly by competitors. The Annual Door Knock is a fundraising event in which the Nippers and their families can get involved and is a great opportunity for the Club to distribute its Know Your Beach brochure, which is an education document on surf knowledge and safety. We still need to get more members involved in the Door Knock because little legs get very tired. Despite the lack of a major sponsor, the Danger 1000 Ocean Swim remains steady in numbers, but we took a bit of a hit on the Danger Young Guns Ocean Swim due to LSV’s scheduling of the Junior Regional Championships on the same day, which is a qualifying carnival for teams at State Titles. However, numbers were up again for the Bells Bash Cliff Run and the introduction of the Junior Juc Bash proved extremely suc- cessful. Many thanks to all our members who are involved in running these events. We have Nippers, Nipper parents, competitors, patrolling members, associate members and even friends of members helping out with this major fundraiser and it’s great to see that sort of cooperation in action. Particular thanks to Peter Smith and Ian Blanchonette who put in months of preparation and organisation and who are preparing for next years events as we speak. This year has also seen an increase in the amount of funds we have received in the form of grants 2 - around $35,700 in total. Many of our members apply for grants from their place of employment, which has always assisted with equipment for the Club, however, this year saw Naomi Madigan suc- cessfully apply for grants which paid for two marquees, two fi bre glass nipper boards and team uni- forms for the Junior Vics. Glenn Voss successfully won a grant from SLSA for our water tank, Jaci won a grant from GORCC to fi nish off our beach access track, Wes McDonald won a grant from RACV for a defi brilator and Judy Sedger won the CSESP grant for two IRB motors and six rescue tubes. Along with administration and patrol uniform grants from LSV, every Life Saving Club also gained $5,000 from the Victorian Government. Due to the economic climate, sponsors have been hard to come by this season, so a very big thank you to those businesses and companies who were on board this season supporting the Jan Juc SLSC both fi nancially and in kind. In particular, sponsors Westpac, RSMI Bird Cameron and New Zealand Steel. At the conclusion of last season the LSV Awards of Excellence saw three successful Jan Juc members. Christina Ruiz was named the Junior Athlete of the Year, Scott Tannahill was named Coach of the Year and Daryl Moss was named Nipper Parent of the Year. Congratulations, they have all put in a great deal of work in their respective areas and have continued to do so this season. This year Jan Juc has put in a nomination for Club of the Year based on our Junior Leadership Program, so fi ngers crossed that our nomination is looked upon favourabley. I have been fortunate to have the support of a strong Executive Committee who have had to go above and beyond this season and I must also thank Neil Hough and Dave Ulbrick for valuable ad- vice. Adminstrative and IT support are much appreciated from Jaci Chin-Jewson and Dean Sibun. Judy Sedger has put in many of years of precise bookkeeping and it is partly due to her diligence to her role that the Club is in such good shape fi nancially. Judy will be standing down as Finance Manager, so I would like to take this opportunity to thank her for the past four years of service and committee support. The people running our Club are reliable and passionate and
