We lower our flag today to pay

We lower our flag today to pay our respects to Tanya Jackson.

Born 14.4.71 (51) in Canberra, wife to Brent, mother of Jack, sister to Amanda and Michelle, daughter of Sanya Ritchie and Eric Mawson.

Tanya lived her life with passion and purpose, and loved watching her son grow into a man. She passed away at home this morning surrounded by family and friends.

Tanya was a long service member, Vice Captain of Craven Patrol, one of our first female Vice Presidents (’03), scanner of the Annual Reports, Historic photos, Bondi Surfers and Doins, driver of the 100 year book and surf club museum projects, and a proud runner up in the 2003 Mike Shearman.

Funeral service at Bondi Surf Club, date to be advised.
Tanya requested no flowers, but welcomes donations to the surf club for the Museum.

The ninth running of the BSC L

The ninth running of the BSC Legends Lunch took place on 28 October 2022 and was attended by over 330 guests. The lunch was a great success, the food, drink and service excellent and the speakers, Rob Whittaker, Kerry O Keefe and Jimmy Koch very interesting and entertaining. Tony Squires as MC, Speaker, Interviewer and Ringmaster was superb as always.
The success of the lunch which raises a considerable amount of money for the Club is a tribute to the organisational skills and hard work of the Committee who have put so much time and effort into it over the years. Tim Read

Thank you so much to everyone

Thank you so much to everyone who participated, supported, watched and voted for the club presentation at #heritagensw PitchFest 2022.

Congratulations to the Windy Station Woolshed for winning in a tough contest – bringing life and use back to a part of our rural colonial history.

Thanks to Réka Kaponay and Jesse Lockhart Krause who represented our club so well. It is great to see such passionate young leaders coming through our movement. Thanks also to Greer Gehrt for travelling up from Canberra to provide insight into the themes and design for our museum.

Our aim is nothing less than a comprehensive world class museum that honours those who ask for nothing, but give everything, to ensure there are no lives lost on Bondi Beach.

The Club occupied pole positio

The Club occupied pole position for its BBQ tent for the City to Surf and all the volunteers were at work well before 7.30am when these shots were taken.

With a bit of luck the weather will be kind, the sales will be high and the hard work will result in a nice little profit for the club. Thank you to volunteers and thank you to Harris Farm Markets a very loyal sponsor and much appreciated.
