Christmas Bottles and Bronze Graduation

Tonight’s Bottles (19 Dec) is the final one of the year and it’s going to be huge!

BM1 and BM2 have completed their eight-week training course, the one-week Lightning Course completed their course this week and a large group of SRCs completed theirs last Tuesday.

Big kudos to Educations trainers and assessors completing the Bronze and SRC courses for a record number of candidates, who will join patrols in time for summer holidays.

Meanwhile the lifesaving patrol was treating a dislocated shoulder and keeping an eye on the growing crowd of a hot day, while IRBs and boards provided water safety.

Marketing have a large boxing activation this morning and will have Bottles and Bronze Graduation this evening.

Joining the surf club is more than just patrol hours and training. It is an opportunity to connect with like-minded people and form life-long bonds. If you choose to, you can be a member for life!

Last Friday at a Veteran’s Day lunch we celebrated our members past and present who have helped form our club and the lifesaving movement. We paid our respects to those no longer with us and we acknowledged the incredible achievements of the men and women in the room.

Dave Sharma MP joined Brent Jackson and Cyril Baldock in presenting awards for 25, 40, 50, 55, 60 and 70 years of service, as well as 15 years’ National Patrol Service Medals. An amazing achievement from all!

Thank you all for your dedication, hard work and service.
