President’sreport
It is with pleasure that I present the 2014/15 Sorrento Surf Lifesaving Club Annual Report.
This has been my first year as President and it has been a great opportunity to become more
involved and learn more about all aspects of the Club. I would like to thank the more
experienced people around the Club who have supported me through the learning curve,
particularly Marc Clavin and Duncan Stirling.
Sorrento SLSC is seventeen years old this year and it has been another very successful
season with our patrol teams ensuring that no lives were lost between the flags on patrol
days. A number of serious incidents did occur on our beach this year and our patrollers
responded with great professionalism on each occasion. I think we should all be proud of our
patrolling members who represent our Club so well on every patrol – rain, hail or shine.
I would like to especially thank, Club Captain Hayden Owens, our Lifesaving Director Duncan
Stirling and all our Patrol Captains for ensuring a high standard of public safety throughout the
season.
On the training front we have put through a large SRC group and a strong junior Bronze
group this year as well as an adult bronze course and a number of specialised awards. A
special thank you to Stefan Bagg, who stepped in at the last minute to take up the Chief
Instructor role under difficult circumstances.
The Nipper Program continues to go from strength to strength with just on 200 nippers in the
program this season. The feedback I get from nipper parents is that the program is incredibly
well run, the kids are developing great water safety skills and they just love it !
The success of the program is based around a large group of committed parents who put in
substantial hours as water safety, age managers, BBQ cookers and first aid. Once again Brett
Irvine has done an outstanding job as Nipper Coordinator and Josie Hunting has really
improved our approach to both nipper and senior Club memberships – a sometimes thankless
task !
It was an interesting year for the Bayswim ! Horrendous conditions forced the cancellation of
the event in early January and a rerun some weeks later. The Director of the Swim, Clive
Brend handled the situation in his usual calm and collected manner and ensured that both the
cancellation and the rescheduled event went like clockwork. Clive effectively salvaged what
could have been a financial and public relations problem and many of the competitors I spoke
to were very happy with the way it was all handled. Thank you Clive for your efforts this year.
Clive will be taking a well earned break from the Bayswim role next year.
Jo and Craig Plehn have put on some great social functions this year - the spit roast night, the
Paella night and the Presentation dinner. All three events were a great success and managed
to bring together people from all parts of the Club. Well done !
Finally, I would like to thank all of the Club Committee especially the Secretary, Jane Wright
for another year of hard work behind the scenes. The Club couldn’t function without you.

ClubCaptain’sreport
Well, another year has passed, and again it was a successful season for the patrolling side of
Sorrento SLSC. It was great to see so many younger members donning their patrol caps and
representing the club and protecting the community. Proudly, again in the 2014/2015 season
we kept all patrons at Sorrento Back Beach safe.
The season could not have functioned without the assistance of Patrol Captains and Vice
Captains; I would like to personally thank each captain for their help through the year
Captain/Vice Captain
Hayden Owens/Tim Curwood, Jeremy Doupe
Howard Draper/Bruce Grayling
Tom Morrison/ Gerry Lute, John Baker
Felicity Draper/ Lachlan Owens, Abby Stirling
Duncan Stirling/ Jasper Nettlefold
On a more serious note, our club was called to numerous out of hours emergencies that we
handled with professionalism and care at all times. I would personally like to thank everyone
who assisted in these emergency situations. The hard work of Gerry Lute and Andy
Nettlefold, ensured all IRBs and their motors were in working order to be used at any time.
I would also again like to thank Ro Moore, for her hard work in keeping the First Aid room
immaculate throughout the season.
Finally, a big thankyou to all who patrolled throughout the season. We did our jobs admirably
and for that, we can be proud. I look forward to seeing all of you on Requal Day later this year
before we hit the surf for another great summer down at Sorrento!
See you on the beach,
Hayden Owens
Club Captain, Sorrento SLSC

LifeSavingServicesreport
It is with pleasure I present an overview of the Life Saving Services for the 2014/15 season.
The Sorrento SLSC went into the season with five patrols that did:
•
•
•
•
•
•
6 rescues
38 first aids
2 missing person search
1521 preventative actions
And a massive 2396.5 volunteer patrol hours
2 out of hours calls
We had 70 active members contribute to our patrols this season. This number is a drop in
Patrol numbers from last season. This, we hope is not a trend.
Our rescue equipment was in outstanding condition at the start of the season, thanks to IRB
Captain Gerry Lute and Gear Steward Andy Nettlefold. A big thank you must also go to Chris
Baker who has redesigned the gear store keeping all the boards off the ground. The first aid
room was again kept in tip top shape by Ro Moore. Also the use of the “top depot” to store
rescue equipment helped in keeping the equipment safe.
In the New Year we are looking at replacing the ATV.
Again I must thank Hayden Owens Club captain for his tireless work around the club and also
to my fellow Patrol Captains for ensuring we had no default patrols this season
See you in the surf

Facilitiesreport
Over the past 12 months the following works have been undertaken:
With thanks to a crew of volunteers a large clean up inside and outside of the main clubroom
was completed. This was done in preparation for internal painting, future external work, and to
enable the uniform shop to be able to move into the upstairs office.
External door frames on ground level were in poor condition, due to corrosion, and have been
rejuvenated and prepared for further painting.
Internal painting was co-ordinated by Brett Irvine and completed by Matt Watts and his team.
New lights were installed in main room, kitchen and hallway. Sections of the roof have been
removed, due to corrosion, and repaired. Long term this will require further work.
Four cabinets were purchased and installed in upstairs office for the storage of uniforms etc.
A new board rack, on wheels, was made, primarily for the storage of rescue boards.
With thanks to Craig Plehn and Leighton Richardson a hit list of carpentry jobs was
completed.
With thanks to Brett and Mick a new soaker pit was established and garden bed dug out to
enable the water meter to be moved. John Riley, plumber, was engaged to move water meter
and establish a new outside tap.
We have received permission from Parks Victoria to install large sliding glass doors on beach
side of main room and small roller door on carpark side of main room. Still awaiting a permit
form Mornington Peninsula Shire for this work to proceed.

Nippersreport
Sorrento Nippers enjoyed a great season of challenges, thrills, spills but most of all great
camaraderie amongst a fantastic group of families. 198 nippers attended the program at an
average weekly rate of 74%, again a record reflecting the good vibe. We completed 14
Nipper sessions, 12 Training, 21/2 carnivals and many social activities.
The scene was set for a great season when winter and spring provided a huge influx of sand
over many of the Back Beach rocks. This reshaped the waves, pushed out the wave
dropzone and gave us a far friendlier underwater floor to navigate. Couple this with the large
number of parents and 15yrs+ nippers achieving their bronze and we had the water safety
contingent to allow far more water activity to occur.
Again we shortened the regular season (mid Feb finish) helping to keep attendance rates up
during the main summer season and reduced the onerous requirements for many volunteers.
Training continued on until the States for those more competitively minded and there were
powerful skills on display on big wave days. Unfortunately LSV mismanaged the carnivals
and scheduled our local junior carnival (Chelsea) on the same weekend as the State Regional
Qualifier. We attended the qualifier at Waratah Beach where weather conditions only
allowed half the program to be completed. Fortunately the State Carnival at Warnambool
went fantastically well in organisation and most importantly the efforts of the nippers. Socially
it was a boon for the group too and I encourage everyone to attend again at Warnambool next
season, whether competing or not. A special mention to the little guy with the big heart, Will
Mooney, our U9 State Champion on the Board.
The club again purchased new
boards to support the program in
the form of Bravo racing boards
and foamies. We needed all the
boards we could muster due to
the damage sustained week in
week out. Thanks to Mick
Cummins and Des Smith for the
continued repairs and ensuring
we had enough of the correct
boards to use every week.
The age managers kept the energy of the age groups up all season and must be commended
for their attention to safety whilst keeping things fun. Thanks Tim & Jemimah, Shane & Nikki,
Chris & Mason, Blair & Leon, Debbie & Royston, Wayne & Paul and of course Justine for
taking care of our nippers. We once again achieved our core objective of mental and physical
personal improvement for each and every child.
Water safety numbers were huge and much appreciated by the age managers and the nipper
co-ordinator. Our young bronzies in particular showed great skill and anticipation in the water
whilst the ‘older heads’ provided knowledge, encouragement and co-ordination between the
water and land based volunteers. Both a parent Bronze Course and Age Manager Course
will be held again this coming November.
Josie Hunting held together the difficult club registration and competition co-ordinator roles
once again this season. Gina Fothergill will assume the competition role as Josie’s nippers
head off to the senior part of the club. Thankyou Josie for your dedicated efforts in pulling
together all parts of the club to allow the nipper competition group to attend carnivals.
Page 14
Dan Mooney wrote much of the weekly program and co-ordinated the water safety group. His
(and Elise’s) cool and friendly demeanour played a big part in why things ran well and was
central to the good vibe in the group. He also kept a smile on the face of the grumpy nipper
co-ordinator at those ‘special’ times. He was ably supported by the usual strong characters
namely Des, Shane, Ange, Greg, Alex, Maesson & David. The nipper training work of Daniel
Bradshaw, Felicity Draper, Hayden Owens and the new gun trainer Sean Cummins were
season highlights.
We thank Marla Kosman, her sister Nicole Whyte and the first aid team for patching up the
nippers at every session too. Discerning real injury from those just requiring a little extra
confidence helps keep everyone in the water and achieving their best as often as possible.
Jo & Craig Plehn became the social hub of nippers this season. From managing the weekly
BBQ’s and all social functions to coming down and assisting the Warnambool team
management at long evening meetings, they and their family had a great positive impact on
the entire group and indeed the club. Cheers, guys!
John & Anna Pease once again cheerfully supplied coffee and hot chocolate on those cold
windy mornings (like that nearly every week!). Together the BBQ and coffee vendors raised
over $5000 for the club and must be congratulated for their outstanding efforts.
The new online Uniform Shop headed up by Karen and Royston Bradshaw established itself
successfully; big thanks to members for adjusting to the new system. Nicki Caddy stepped in
to shoulder most of this work as the season progressed and should enjoy the new uniform
shop area now serving from behind the bar. Best not confuse the dual role of that area on
nipper days Nicki & Karen!
Our program this season was far more heavily based on swimming than in the past.
Enforcing the minimum swim standard for all nippers encourages a stronger swimming
standard at the season start. We encourage all families to check the requirements for next
season now via the nipper handbook and ensure the nippers receive the relevant training to
be ready for challenges in 2015-16; at least two swim sessions per week in term 4 please.
The graduation of this year’s SRC’s built further on the highly successful group from the
previous season. We have another large group coming through next year and I am proud to
say Nippers is flooding the Patrollers with new young faces. It would be great if our Nipper
parents could also become part of the Patrolling group on a regular basis to swell the
numbers further with experienced heads. Flowing on from that we require more Bronzies
(parents and former nippers) to step up into qualified Trainer and Assessor roles as well as
IRB drivers and crews. Courses are run by our club and LSV for these roles. We have left
too many of these roles to the same club members that have been carrying out these tasks
for many years. We now require the next generation to assist them and eventually take over.
We are at our absolute limit for nipper numbers, restricted heavily by the size and rockiness of
the Back Beach. Any increase in numbers from here would require far more use of the front
beach and feedback suggests that is not where the nippers and their parents want to learn
their surf skills. It is also difficult logistically to run sessions at the same time on both beaches
due to board requirements. Numbers will be capped at 35 per age group next season and
incumbents will be asked to enrol in a preferential early timeslot or risk losing their nipper spot
to the many eager families on the waiting list. Information will be forthcoming in August
regarding this.
The Sorrento SLSC will continue working to meet all the challenges of Surf Life Saving from
patrolling to education, from nippers to competitions. The club refurbishment over winter and
Page 15
the active engagement of members in more volunteer roles will see this flourish further for the
benefit of our nippers and the broader community.
Next season the Sorrento Nipper Program promises to be packed with more fun activities and
defining moments for all of our wonderful little champs, the nippers themselves. I wish you all
a successful 2015 and hope we meet up again very soon with all our friends from far and
wide on Sunday November 29th for a swim (S Badge day) in our little piece of paradise.

Nipper Co-ordinator, Sorrento SLSC
YIPsreport
This season the Yips program welcomed the 2015 cadets. They all worked hard to achieve
their SRC qualifications and become part of the senior club. It was fantastic to see so many
keen new members on patrol and involved with water safety.
Saturday trainings were offered as part of the Sorrento comp training and we saw a
dedicated group working hard to improve their skills. As the competition heated up we
commenced Friday night training and their commitment was always rewarded with something
hot to eat at the end of a hard session. A huge thank you to Felicity Draper, Hayden Owens
and Sean Cummins for their coaching.
Point Leo Surf Carnival was once again a highlight of our program. We managed to enter our
largest team ever! It's was great to see so many of our members back in club colours. It was
a fun day with fantastic results.
Our major social outing was conducted on a DARK Monday night. A large group meet at the
Club Rooms and we then participated in a Sorrento Ghost Tour. It was a terrific evening with
many of us having ghostly encounters!
Once again a huge thank you to all of the YIPS who were actively involved this season.
Whether it be patrolling, doing water safety or helping out at the Bay Swim, you should all be
proud of your selves, you are what make Sorrento SLSC such a great place.

The 2014/15 first social night for the season was a Spit Roast Family Night. There was an
abundance of food and plenty of positive comments. An enjoyable, and casual night for all in
attendance.
The subsequent social night was the Paella Night. Another fun night with Jack Jones as the
DJ and lots of Margaritas for the adults and the kids.
Thank you to everyone for all your help and support this year. A big thanks to Craig and Janet
for their help on the nights.

Bayswimreport
The 2015 Bay Swim was held on the 14th February 2015, six weeks after its original planned
date of 3rd January. The day saw 342 swimmers undertake the three events; with the new
4,000m Elite event added for the first time this year and receiving great support.
2015 was the first time in 12 years that the event was postponed due to bad weather. The
days leading up to the January original date, saw high temperatures and strong north winds
for a number of days before the event and a planned strengthening northerly on the day. The
pattern was stable and predicted to be dangerous for the event on the Saturday morning. The
decision to cancel it was taken on Tuesday night and all the competitors, support services,
swim series organisers and volunteers were notified that night and into Wednesday morning.
A huge communication and planning exercise was undertaken to reschedule the event to the
14th February. Full refunds were provided to all competitors who could not attend the new
date.
Once the second round of bookings and permit applications was submitted and all affected
organisations and people consulted, the 14th February was confirmed as the “fall-back” date.
The whole event was then replanned for six weeks later.
The Bloody Big Swim (run by the Mornington Life Saving Club) is a long distance, Bay swim
and was planned for 17th January. It too was cancelled due to bad weather. We were
requested to see if we could add a long swim to our existing 600m and 2,000m program. With
a lot of work by George Patterson, we were able to develop a course and timing plan that
fitted into our existing program and we launched the Elite 4,000 swim.
The 4,000m course was made up of two legs of the 2km swim. The competitors were started
at the finish line and swam against the tide for 2km’s, then turned around a series of buoys (to
ensure the returning swimmers did not clash with the outgoing swimmers) and back to the
start / finish line.
We had no idea of expected numbers and put a minimum of 15 entries before the race would
be conducted. We had 55 entries by race day and had more swimmers then the 600m races.
The weather leading up to the rescheduled day was very
unsettled, with large thunder storms on the Friday night. At 11pm
on the 13th it was still not definite that the event would be safe to
proceed the following day. For the first time in many years, the
packing of the show bags was done in cold, wet weather
conditions. Jane Wright coordinated the team of volunteers, who
had the bags packed in record time and even had time left over
to enjoy some food thoughtfully provided by Andrea Cummins.
Saturday morning was wet and cold and the set up team braved
rain and wind to get the beach established. The team, led by
Brett Irvine, did a fantastic job of getting everything ready for an
8am opening of the registration tent, prior to a 9am competitor
briefing of the 4km swimmers. Jane again led the registration
volunteers to assist all competitors collect their gear before their
race. It was a scramble from 8am until final close-off at 11am
and the whole team did a superb job in difficult circumstances.
The rain stopped about 8am, although everyone was wet through by then! It came back at
9.30am, briefly, just as the Elite swimmers took off and then left us alone for the rest of the
day. The Bay was calm and perfect for all three events. By 10am the sun was out and the
weather steadily improved until it became a lovely afternoon for the presentations.
The tide was weaker than predicted and the 4km swimmers returned faster than expected, so
we ended up having to run the 600m swim 15 minutes earlier than planned to avoid a clash
as the swimmers rounded the final orange buoy. This caused a few planning and
Page 19
communication issues, but Brett and Mark Clavin (in the tower) managed this very well and
the short swim also went off very well.
Brett’s leadership of the starting “gun” was again superb and he liaised perfectly with the
timing people to ensure a very efficient timekeeping and competitor tracking process. The
collection of the timing bands and race winners was well managed by Ro Moore and this year
was the first time ever that 100% of the timing bands that came over the finish line were
collected. Only one timing band was not returned and this fell off during the swim and could
not be located.
This year saw another first, the presentation of
the Tommy Hafey memorial medals, to the
male and female winners of the 2,000m Open
category. These were presented by Tommy’s
wife and Jo and her sister to James Fennell
and Julia Atkins as well as a few words of
remembrance for Tommy and his 11 years of
support for the Sorrento Bay Swim. Marc
Clavin (again) did a great job managing the
presentation process.
The site clean-up was managed by Brett and a group of volunteers and was very smooth and
quickly completed. The weather had become hot and was the exact opposite of what was
experienced during the set up. A huge thanks goes to all the people who braved all four
seasons to get the beach ready to go and then left it cleaner than when we arrived. Well done
and many thanks.
An event like this could not happen without the significant effort of all the volunteers and
space prohibits naming everyone, but a few people deserve special mention. George
Patterson was involved for over 12 months with getting the date set, then providing the
leadership in postponing the first event and helping establish the alternative date. His work in
determining if a 4km swim was feasible and then laying out all the courses on the day was
invaluable. Jane Wright managed all the volunteer roles and organised the packing of the
show bags which went very smoothly.
Brett Irvine took on multiple roles from beach set up, clean up and race starter, to general “go
to guy” for anything that became too difficult for anyone else. Marc Clavin controlled the day
and the communications very well from the new tower and helped keep the competitors
informed and up to date on the conduct of the day. Gerry Lute managed the water safety
element smoothly and very effectively yet again. All the safety personnel performed
exceptionally well; to be there when needed, but not to get in the way of the competitors –
well done. Gerry also managed the preparation of our own IRB’s and the borrowing and
return of additional IRB’s from the other surf clubs.
Ro Moore was exceedingly helpful in getting all the water and fruit prior to the event and
getting it ready on the day. She was also active in the registration tent and at the finish line
and then ensured that all the sponsors got their certificate and tee shirts after the swim. I
would also like to thank Ian Fieldhouse for his efforts in taking the photographs throughout the
day. It is not possible to name everyone, but your effort and input was greatly appreciated and
the day could not have gone off as well without all of your help and involvement.
We also need to recognise IBG insurance as the principal sponsor of this year’s swim, as well
as Emma and Tom’s, for the provision of plenty of juice for the competitors and (later) people
in the club house. The support from Gina Harris and the Cousins Swim Series must also be
acknowledged. The Sorrento Sailing and Couta Boat Club and the Baths Restaurant are
always very supportive of our event and are very patient with us as we occupy their sections
of the beach to make the swim happen. Southern Peninsula Rescue are also always willing to
help us and again this year, their presence was a great comfort and assistance.
Page 20
The feedback from the competitors was very positive and the team received a lot of
compliments about the way the cancellation was managed and the communication associated
with keeping people informed of the new date. Also the conduct of the day received very
positive comments. The inclusion of the 4,000m event was frequently applauded and should
be continued in the future. It is this positive reinforcement that encourages us to keep putting
the Bay Swim on every year.
Personally, it has been a huge commitment and a very time consuming activity, but one which
is very worthwhile. I have enjoyed my last 4 years of involvement in, and management of, the
Bay Swim and have gained a lot of personal satisfaction from seeing it develop and mature to
its current form. I look forward to seeing how it evolves further under different leadership next
year and thank everyone for their support and assistance over this time. I will ensure the
passing of all my knowledge and pre-prepared forms and contact lists to the next person and I
strongly encourage you to step up and take on this extremely satisfying and rewarding role
and can assure you that you will be well supported in your endeavours.
Well done everyone, it has been a pleasure to be part of yet another successful Sorrento Bay
Swim.
