Today we lower the flag to honour Kenneth Davidson – a long service member of the club who passed away yesterday.

Ken was born 14/08/1937, joined in 02/11/1953, had his 50 year long service from Wanda and also a member at Cronulla.

Ken was one of the lifesavers who participated in the Queens Royal Carnival on Bondi in 1954 and this was a recent interview with him – https://twitter.com/9newssyd/status/1568145699258130434?s=21&t=633U8AX-paLoSDlnomyMJQ

He also boxed as this article in the Bondi Surfer discussed https://drive.google.com/file/d/10ZZExhmvHKbVhyosb6TlhaDxL1D9JXpY/view?usp=sharing

Ken was a generous man who quietly offered his home available to people who lost their homes during the 2020 Bushfires.
