CRONULLA SLSC 111TH ANNUAL REPORT 2017-2018 SEASON GEOFFREY FORSHAW – LIFE MEMBER, SURF LIFE SAVING NEW SOUTH WALES Cronulla’s Geoffrey Forshaw’s foray into Surf Life Saving began as a 17-year-old when he obtained his Bronze Medallion in 1961. Over the next five decades his passion for the movement would continue to grow as he went on to make significant contributions across a diverse range of areas. A more than handy surfboat rower in his youth, Geoffrey has held many important positions at club and branch level. He has held almost every leadership position at his beloved club and has served an incredible 48 years on various committees. In the late 1980s he served as Sydney Branch President for five years during a time of great change, and was instrumental in overcoming operational issues within the helicopter rescue service. It was just one of many roles this quiet achiever performed at branch level. Geoffrey is also a recipient of the International Lifesaving Society (ILS) citation of merit, an award he achieved in 1993. Today he continues his role as respected Patron of Cronulla SLSC where his counsel is often sought. He was made a Life Member of Cronulla SLSC in 1978 and of Sydney Branch in 2001. Congratulations Geoff!
