Long Reef SLSC - 'No Lives Lost' -' • A G ~ 2DD7 ~ear ~ of' the Surf' Lifesaver during patrol hours • It is once again pleasing to be able to report that the most recent surf life saving season has bee n another very successful one for Long Reef SLSC . Our beach patrols conti nue to deliver an excel lent standard of beach management and lifesav ing services to our local community. This is a t rue credit to all of the Club's active patrolling members , ou r spon sors and the many hands behind th e scene who ensure that the Club r uns smoothly and our first aid and rescue equ ipment is maintained in good cond ition . Our patrols undert ook 55 rescues and provided first aid treatment to 123 peopl e in t he 2006/ 7 season and we were judged as providing an excellent life saving service in the Surf Life Saving Sydney Northern Beaches Patrol Assessment Competition . Dexion , LJ Hooker Colla roy, Spitfire Communications and Dee Why Automotive have each made significant ongoing contributions to the successful operation of Long Reef's beach patrols and there is no question that t he quality of the service we provide and the equipment we enj oy is largely due to the generosity of these organisations. MEGA and Kingsway Pharmacy are also va luable contributors to our life saving activities through the provis ion of all consumab les for patrol and training activities. Please ensure you support these businesses and take the opportunity to thank them in person. Surf Life Saving Syd ney Northern Beaches Bra nch continues to actively support Long Reef SLSC and all clubs on the northe rn beaches . Branch President Tony Haven and his team have continued to bui ld on their very successful past and improve and expand the services they provide. Their many sponsorship arrangements, in particular Coca Cola , DHL, Warring a h Mall and Energy Australia , continue to be of great assistance and we thank t hese sponsors for their partnerships with the surf life saving movement. Long Reef also wishes to acknowledge the contribution that Wa r ringah Council ma kes to our operations . Th e Club looks fo rward to continuing t o work with the Adm inistrator Dick Persson and Council staff t o ensure that a functional and affordable redevelopment of our cl ubhouse faci lities t akes place in the near future. A new set of Concept Plans has been developed by Counci l at no cost to t he Club and with a little refinement I am confident that t hese wi ll ga in wider community and NSW Government support. With a little luck the new facilities may be bu ilt and in operation by Christmas 2008. Th is will naturally require a Herculea n effort from al l quarters so if your are in any way able to help please do so. On a very sad note Ray Van Weeren passed away during the season . On beha lf of th e Club I wou ld like to ex press our deepest sympathy to his wife Robyn and the whole Va n Weeren fami ly. Ray was an excellent club member, a magnificent supporter of th e Nippers and will always be remembered for his happy smiling face. I would like to take this opportunity to perso nall y thank all me m bers of the Management Committee for their con t ribution to the effective operation of the Club . Our Treas ure r, Ann Stewart (and very able right hand man Mark Stewart), provided nothing 57'h Annual Report & Balance Sheet 2006/07 Long Reef Surf Life Saving Club short of an excellent performance in 2006(7. Our Auditor was provided with a complete and professional set of accounts within 4 weeks of the close of our financial year and commented on them being of an excellent standard. Tony Scarlett has co-ordinated a very wel l run Nippers programme during the season and provided high quality input into the management of the Cl ub. I would like to thank Trish Chaney and more recently Sharon Newling for ensuring that we all have some fantastic Long Reef clothing to enjoy. The internal management of the Club has been at some stages cha llenging this season and to borrow a quote from the Long Reef Annual report for the 1958(59 season: by his daughter La out the back on the beach he loved so dearly. I wou ld like you all to take a minute in this the Year of the Surf Life Saver to reflect on all those members of the Club both past and present w ho have make a contribution to the success of Long Reef SLSC. It has been, and continues to be, a great compliment to all these individuals that we take our rightful place as in integral part of undoubtedly one of the finest volun t eer organisations in the world. Thank you for your contribution and I look forward to seeing you on the sunny side of the sand dune in the near future. Rob Pearson "As usual, failure to carry out the job delegated and also a lack of responsibility towards the committee were obvious with some members but, on the whole, the administration of the Club was easier than before. " While this statement was from the early years of t he Club's development it is sti ll very valid today. It is critical that those members who take positions on the Management Committee make the time available to ensure that their area of responsibility is managed efficiently. Each position is important to the successful functioning of the Club and non performance inevitably has a flow on effect to increase the load on other members of the Committee . Our objective must be to work together in a professional and effective manner for the benefit of the Club as a whole and not to pursue individual interests or act in a negative and counterproductive manner. The Long Reef cap has been a reg ul ar sight in competition. With our youngest competitor being around 8 years old and our most senior well over 60, I th ink it is fair to say that we provide opportunities for just about everyone. You wil l find details of the Club's competitive activities in later sections of the Annual Report, however I think it is fair to say that many members have enjoyed surf life saving competition and the Club has enjoyed a sprinkle of success at Branch, State and National level. It was excel lent to see the Longy cap in an Australia Championship final in Scarborough but equally rewarding to see a strong team of Long Ruffians in Patrol, IRB and Surf Boat competitions throughout the season. Some of you may be aware that Long Reef's participation in IRB co mpetition was interrupted through disqualification due to an inadvertent technical breach of th e rules. There are definitely opportunities for SLSA and SLSNSW to improve the way in which these competitions are organised and the rules under which they are conducted. I hope these matters are addressed promptly so all competitors have the opportunity to continue to develop their life saving skills . On the 4'h of November 1956 Long Reef SLSC hosted a Surf Carnival in honour of Group Captain Douglas Bader - 50 years later to the day Rob Urquhart, the man who was responsible for the formation of Long Reef SLSC and our March Past teams standard bearer at that carnival, passed away. Rob was passionate about Long Reef and the true spi rit of mateship and camaraderie which flourished between members of the Club. A large group of Rob's family and friends paid final respects to Rob as his ashes were scattered -'. e ~ ~ 2DD1 Year of' the Surf' l.if'esauer PRESIDENT 57 th Annual Report & Balance Sheet 2006/07 Long Reef Surf Life Saving Club 2 Secretar 's Re art is becoming more apparent. Here's hoping the cou ncil and community get behind those that help provide a safe beach environment for their families. All the best for the coming season. It gives me great pleasure to submit the 57 th Annual Report and Financia l Statements of Long Reef SLSC, covering the activities of the Club for the 2006/2007 season. In my first year as Secretary I had much to learn and would like to thank those members that have guided me and assisted with the administration side of the club. Some would consider administration the least exciting part of the club, nonetheless it is vital in ensuring the Club 's continued success. I hope to further improve and develop the administration of the Club in the coming years. Thank you to Meredith Weeks and Stella Watson for taki ng the minutes when I was unable to attend a meeting. I would like to thank Peter Clarke (Clarkey) our tireless Registrar who handles all of the incoming email correspondence, manages the entry of the Club's membership into SurfGuard, and keeps the Club looking spick and span . What ever would we do without you 7 Ann Stewart also deserves a special thanks for doing what can only be described as a truly amazing job as Treasurer and assisted me to no end. A big thank you to Trish Chaney who has had many successfu l years as t he Clubs Uniforms Coordinator. Next Season Trish has taken on the challenge of Nippers Supervisor and passed the Uniform reins onto Sharon Newling who together with Doug Lucas have developed a great new range of merchandise and a fabulous sponsorship with Spank Swimwear. I am delighted to report that thanks to the efforts of Scott Plunkett we have updated the Constitution so that it now accurately represents all the changes from the last few years and is completely indexed and cross referenced. I would like to thank the members of the Management Committee for their ongoing support of the Club throughout the season and putting in the many hours that are involved with holding a position on the Management Committee. It ' is great to see the younger members stepping up to fill important committee roles in addition to maintaining the stability that the older experienced members provide. This season members were saddened with the loss of two of the Club's key members. Rob Urquhart, one of Long Reefs founding members, sadly passed away on the 4th November 2006. Devastatingly two months later we lost Ray Van Weeren. I knew Ray as a jovial father whose children I taught as Nippers. Ray became an integral part of the club aSSistin g in everything from Patrols and Water Safety to Training and Social Events. His cheeky smile will be sadly missed around the club. The Year of The Lifesaver was celebrated in style with a formal dinner held at the Town Hall where two tables of Long Ruffians mixed with the who's who in lifesaving and celebrated a fabulous 100 years of Surf Life Saving. It is an exciting time for the Club as it finally appears that a new club house is in our not too distant future. As our membership continues to grow the need for a larger club house Kri stie Thomas SECRETARY Long Reef Surf Life Saving Club 3 Lon 57 th Annu al Rep ort & Balan ce Sheet 2006/ 07 5 Office Bearers / Committee Members Reef Life Members Giff Brown Peter Clarke Peter Connolly * Bruce Gaal James Hutchings Peter Kinsey Malcolm MacCormick David MacIntosh Ross Matthews OAM George Metcalfe Ross Tompson Peter Selosse Rob Urquhart* Ian Waterhouse *Deceased 4 Lon Reef Distin uished Service Members Lex Brown Robert Galmes Jeoff Hayman Leigh Johnson Robert Murray * Kevin Palmisano James Selosse David Sams Mary-Ann Selosse *Deceased President Exec Vice President Vice Presidents Executive Directors Honorary Secretary Club Registrar Honorary Treasurer Assistant Treasurer Club Captain Club Vice-Captains Chief Instructor Assistant Chief Instructor OHS Officer Gear Steward Branch Delegate Boat Captain Competition Captain Race Secretary IRB Captain Social Secretary Board & Ski Captain U18 Captains Nippers Supervisor Nippers Deputy Supervisor Nippers Secretary Nippers Registrar Shore Master in Charge Honorary Solicitors Rob Pearson Brad Anderson David Ma cIntosh, James Selosse, & Scott Plunkett Kieren Brown, Steve Cox Kristie Thomas Peter Clarke Ann Stewart Mark Stewart Doug Lucas Mark Nisbett, Lachlan Gaad Andrew Robson Mem Robson Nick Warby Peter Chaney Richard Van Weeren Stephen Cox Pete Selosse Jim Selosse Todd Whiley Daniel Mumford Shane Stewart Stella Watson & Nathan Gibson Tony Scarlett Martin Walsh Lindy Hardcastle Margaret Olson Nigel Scozzi Craig Blackwell & Lex Brown 57 th Ann ua l Report & Bal an ce Shee t 2006/0 7 Long Reef Surf Life Savin g Cl ub 6.2 Surf Lifesaving Sydney Northern Beaches Branch Branch Championship Results - 6 Tro hies and Awards 6.1 Club Best Club Member N.S.

Memorable for some fantastic work on the beach, great participation, competition results in a variety of areas and the unfortunate passing away of several prominent club members. 2006/07 Long Reef SLSC Lifesaving Team LRSLSC U17 Patrol Camp, NSW Champions Our major strength is still focused around the commitment and dedication of our Beach Management Team ensuring that we continue to maintain a safe aquatic environment for the community to enjoy. To both my Vice Captains, Mark Nisbet and Lachlan Gadd you have both made a fantastic contribution this season ensuring the patrols continue to function and that the cCub does not breach its Patrol Service Agreement with SLSNSW or the Deed of Agreement with Warringah Council. Also special thanks to our Junior Captains Stella Watson and Nathan Gibson who have also helped in a similar capacity. We performed 55 rescues this season, attended to 123 First Aid cases and performed 2759 preventive actions. For the third consecutive season Long Reef SLSC was equal first in the SNB Patrol Assessment Competition. Unfortunately the Club did not win its 3" successive IRB with Newport SLSC winning this season on a count back. Still credit must be paid to the patrollers and Patrol Captains who ensured we received a perfect inspection of each patrol. It does help when each time they came to do an inspection they came across either the SLSNSW Patrol Competition U17 State Champions or members of the Open Patrol Competition Team. Well done for maintaining such high standards. For those who have been around a number of years you will have noticed just how much the standard of our patrolling equipment has improved. The Club has been fortunate over the last 5 years to build up a lot of quality equipment through the successful application of gear and equipment grants. The Club is now in a very strong position and has some of the finest lifesaving equipment available. None more impressive than our new Rh ino Yamaha bike sponsored by Spitfire Communications. This bike is simply sensational carrying Oxygen, first aid, defibrillator, rescue board and tube, bu ilt in radio , PA address system , spinal collars, spinal boards and more. Special mention to Jim Selosse fo r the many many hours he spent preparing the bike for patrols. This season I placed a tremendous focus on improving on last season 's performance of the Long Reef Lifesaving Team. With a lot of hard training in a particularly meticulous competition discipline the teams were ready. As a resu lt of their train ing and coach ing not only did the competitors improve their competition skills but also gained great experience for patrol work. The goal next season is to again improve on these performances and bri ng home Australian medals.

G II ~ 2DD? ~ear 7 Df the Su rf LiFesauer With over 800 members it is important that we focus on commun ication next season and keep our membership and sponsors more informed of up and coming events. The Longy website did still remain a useful tool and I thank our Web administrator David Prentis for this ongoing efforts. 57 th Annual Report & Balance Sheet 2006/07 Long Reef Surf Life Saving Club Throughout the season we saw our Cadets involved in a wide range of activities. This includecj a trip to Kiama and lambaroo Recreation park as well as a group of around 15 cadets aged 14-17 from Cairns in Far North Queensland, who traveled to Long Reef and were billeted with Long Reef families for 4 days. The Cairns members enjoyed Sydney's surf, going out in IRB's, let Skis and catching plenty of Longy waves. All in all a great time was enjoyed by all. I would like to thank Bernadette McAllinden for providing her time this summer running a swim squad twice a week for those interested Club members and the lifesaving team. Pete Clarke for his constant support, level head and life advice he has provided me with. Clarkey is a legend and has again this season assisted me behind the scenes, especially with the patrol hours using SurfGuard. lim Selosse who has again this season been brilliant on patrols and supporting lifesaving services. He has filled in on patrols on a number of occasions as well as been a big supporter in the IRB area as well as working on the gear trailer, IRB repairs and new Rhino. lim really does deserve the award of Club Member of the Year having been at the beach almost every weekend this season. Dave Watson for his continuous support of the Emergency and First Aid Supplies, Tom Rees and Todd Whiley assisting in the IRB's and Shore school this season. Your efforts were greatly appreciated. To Andrew Robson and Mem Weeks our Chief Instructor and Assistant Chief Instructor for your amazing amount of hard work this year. I cong ratulate both of you on your marriage. I thank you for not only training the new members but for continuing to train our existing members and increasing their knowledge, skills and abilities. The improved standards on patrol are a tribute to the professionalism that you have both displayed. Andrew I believe may be stepping down at the end of this season from the role of Chief Instructor after 5 seasons. I thank him for his efforts over this time in what has become a very demanding role. The role of Chief Instructor will now be split to Chief Instructor and Chief Assessor and it is hoped that these new roles, as a part of the Beach Management Team, will share the workload more evenly in seasons to come. Also a big thank you to others who assisted in training this year, Pete Chaney, Mark Nisbet, Ann Stewart, Shane Stewart, Lachlan Gadd and a special mention to David Badlan who has been a great assistance in the training area and on patrols. I also congratulate Dave on his marriage to ' Debbie Watson. I wish both couples all the very best for your futures together. I also welcome and congratulate each of our new Bronze Medallion holders. A remarkable achievement for all of you and an event I know you wi ll value for the rest of your life. Welcome to the Club and patrols. You only get out what you put in so have a go. Ann Stewart, who has filled the role of Treasurer this season, also deserves a mention for her tremendous support . Ann has always been willing to help and has provided so much assistance behind the scenes in administration and finance. Well done to each of the Patrol Captains and patrol members this season. Especially our cadets who have been everywhere this season and filled in any holes on patrols when they have occurred. Again this season we had no critical or major incidents. Rescues remained steady however it is evident that in recent -'. G ~ ;A 2DD1 Year of the Surf Lifesauer seasons the total beach attendance at Long Reef continues to grow.

Shore continues to grow each year. They take on a lot of responsibilities on patrol performing about 15-17 patrols during the season on Saturday mornings. We are finally starting to retain Shore boys. Hopefully we can continue this trend in years to come. This year we had a large Shore vs Long Reef and old boys carnival which was a great success. Shore again managed to win the overa ll points score but this season was very close. Hopefully next year we may manage to get a few more old boys back and we can take them! 57 th Annual Report & Balance Sheet 2006/07 Long Reef Surf Life Saving Club words just how greatly he will be missed. A big thank you to all those members who stood up and assisted at various levels in the Sydney Northern Beaches Branch. Without the support of the clubs the branch would struggle to perform many roles such as central examinations/ running of carnivals and other functions. We have continued to improve upon the number of members who have volunteered in a number of capacities. We have a large number of people helping as examiners I assessors. We also have a number of Duty Officers/ Radio Operators, Officials and a Patrol Assessment Officer. This season we saw Tom Rees, Peter Selosse and Jim Selosse all receive their PWC, Jet Ski licence and join Andrew Robson and I in performing voluntary patrols for the Northern Beaches Support Services. Keep volunteering guys there are numerous roles to take on at Branch Level both for lifesavers and those interested in other areas. Its also a nice break and chance to do someth ing different at another level of the organisation. I would like to extend my personal thanks to each of our sponsors at a National, State, Branch and Club level. Our national partnership with DHL is fantastic and never before have we seen so much financial support being poured into SLS. Special mention to our club sponsors, Dexion, Dee Why RSL, and LJ Hooker Colla roy our major sponsors and Dee Why Automotives Services who are in their 22 nd year, Dynamic Press and MEGA (Medical Equipment & Gases Australia). Without your on-going assistance we would be unable to continue our training and development programs and the provision of a first class water safety service for the community. In the absence of a Fundraising director I took on this role in the last few months of the season and we are now pleased to welcome Winning Appliances as sponsors of our boards and Lifesaving Team, Strata Unit Underwriters of our new patrol twin hull IRB and Spank Swimwear who have sponsored our swimwear needs. The season for me has been so rewarding in so many areas but also very demanding. We unfortunately had an on-going problem in relation to the number of parking stickers issued to our patrolling members. The council's sticker provisions unfortunately not taking into account anybody who was U18 or lived within the area either at home or renting and hence without access to Warringah parking stickers. I thank those who personally supported me through those months. I also thank those members of the public who supported the club with over 30 parking permits being donated. The Council Parking Permit Policy has now been restructured and looks as though it will remove most of the problems we have previously experienced. On a sad note we say goodbye to two members of the club . More wi ll be said in other areas of the report but it was very sad for us to say goodbye to two of our finest, Rob Urquhart, one of our founding members and Ray Van Wee ren, who's jovial personality will be missed. Personally the loss of Ray, so tragically young, is very difficult to accept. Ray has influenced and touched so many of our lives and it is hard to put into words just how greatly he will be missed. - '-J" 15 ~ ;A G 2DD?Year Df th e Surf LiFe saue r On a positive note I wou ld li ke to congratulate Ross Matthews who became the Clubs first Life Member of SLSNSW and also a rec ipient of an OAM for services to Lifesaving. Ross's ach ievements are presented in another section of this report. Ross has given so much to the Club and the wider movement since joining the club in 1961. Ross now lives in the Blue Mountains, Blackheath with wife Oianne but still performs Active Reserve patrols, in fact is sti ll one of the clubs most diligent patrollers standing on the flag with a whistle in hand for most of his 4 hour patrol. Ross is a true example of the Australian surf lifesaver and I congratulate him on this fine achievement. On Saturday 28 th April, 2007 the Club finished off the season hosting Round 1 of the SLSNSW IRB Premiership series. The carnival was very well attended by over 250 competitors and 16 clubs from around NSW. The carnival was a fantastic success and I thank those involved in helping me organise and run the event. The carnival committee being, Tom Rees, MA Selosse, Todd Whiley and Sean McLintock. It was also great to see so many Lon g Reef members competing with 30 members having a go throughout the day. I further congratulate those involved in the success 57 t h annual dinner on Saturday 19th April, 2007 . Dan Mumford and Lucy Redmond did a great job and it shows you the strength of our membership coming through with the dinner being organised by these juniors. Congratulations to all the award winners as printed. Special mention to Sean McLintock one of our new members taking out the Recruit of the year award. In his first season since getting his Bronze in December, 2006 he managed to make the top 10 patrollers, received his Bronze Medallion, Radio Operators, Defib rillator certificate, Advanced Resuscitation Certificate and IRB Crewman's Award. He stepped into the Open Patrol Competition Team winni ng a State Silver medal, joined the Longy IRB race team and was a key member in the successful organisation and running of round 1 SLSNSW IRB premiership held at Long Reef. So much so has Sean become a key member of the Club that he even installed his very own shower head in the male showers. Congratulations Sean on a fantastic season. We look forward to your next step and seeing you on the committee next year. Thank you to all those involved in making 2006/07 another safe and enjoyable year on Long Reef beach. Doug Luca s CLUB CAPTAIN Long Reef Surf Life Sa ving Club 8 Instructor's Re ort The 2006/ 2007 season at Long Reef SLSC has been a great season for training. It has been a year of huge change with the transition to the nationally accredited qualifications and the changes of the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines. This season saw approximately 580 awards received by our members. Congratulations to every Longy member. Training and education has always been an integral area for Long Reef SLSC. Training provides our patrols with the knowledge they need to deliver a professional water safety/rescue service and keep our beach safe. Surf Life Saving Australia Training Division has transitioned to a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) under the Australian Quality Training Framework (ATQF). This transition has enabled us to provide our surf lifesavers the opportunity to gain accreditation in Certificate II in Public Safety (Aquatic Rescue) - a nationally recognised award under the ATQF (this award was formally known as the Bronze Medallion). This is the biggest development in SLS training since the foundation of the Bronze Medallion in 1910. This season, we saw major changes to resuscitation as the National Board of Lifesaving has adopted the Austral ian Resuscitation Council guidelines. The main changes include: 30 : 2 rates for one and two person operations in all patients, • 57 th Annual Report & Balance Sheet 2006/07 dedication and enthusiasm of our members and also those who have supported me as Chief Instructor and Mem as Assistant Chief Instructor. Thank you to all who have participated in training this season and to those who have given countless hours of their time to assist training, especially Dave Badlan and Lachlan Gadd. Other Longy trainers have included Ray Van Weeren, Ann Stewart, Pete Chaney, Doug Lucas, Mark Nisbet, Shane Stewart and Andrew De Silva and also to the boys in the rubber duckies - Tom Rees, Todd Whiley, Pete and Jim Selosse and everyone else who gave their time and effort. This season heralded another great achievement - Mem and I got hitched!!! For all of you who are married you would know this is a time consuming process I A huge thank you to Dave for running the Certificate II and Lachlan for running ARC. We couldn 't have coped without you both! I would like to make special mention to Ray Van Weeren and Ann Stewart who achieved their Training Officer Certificate II this season. They were both truly inspirational to all the candidates. The looks on their candidates faces said it all at the end of their Part B exam they were all so excited! Thank you to all the Longy assessors who have continued their examining and have aligned their skills with the movement to the Certificate II. Two initial breaths instead of five The two initial breaths and the two breaths in the 30:2 cycle are known as "rescue breathing " Removal of pulse checks and removal of EAR (expired air resuscitation) Changing compression operators every 2 minutes The change in resuscitation took effect within SLSA frorT) 1 August 2006. We have continued to train and ensure our members are proficient with the Certificate II and the new two part assessment. We have had excellent feedback from candidates in regards to the "on-the-job assessment" they are required to complete as part of their training. The on-the-job assessment requires candidates to attend and participate in a morning and afternoon patrol and assist with patrol set up, patrol pack up and general patrol activities under the guidance of the patrol captain. A huge thank you, to all the Longy members who have so warmly welcomed the new Certificate II candidates into their patrols, it is great to hear from our training candidates how warmly they were welcomed. The achievements of this season would not have been possible if it were not for the Toward the end of the season in preparation for the next one, Warringah Mall have kindly donated a Defib Training unit to each club on the Peninsula. With the units we are able to ensure as many members as possible are trained to use these life saving devices. Defibrillators are becoming an integral part of every Surf Life Saving clubs medical eqUipment. Defibrillators, in combination with CPR, have been known to increase the chance of survival dramatically by (up to 60-70%) as compared to manual CPR alone. I would also like to make special mention of the continued contribution by our Cadets this season. Their dedication to furthering their education seemed endless. They were constantly asking us - "So when is the next training course?" and offering their help with training younger members - and also those that were their senior. Our Juniors and Cadets are the future of our Club and our community. I am sure that with the team we have going forward the coming seasons at Longy will be successful. Congratulations and a huge thank you to Dave Badlan who received the Rob Murray Memorial Training Officer of the Year award. His constant training and examining support was hugely appreciated. Thank you also to Debbie for her support of Dave and congratulations on their recent marriage - must be the season for it! Long Reef Surf Ufe Saving Club On a very sad note, we saw the sudden passing of one of our great Long Ruffians - Ray Van Weeren. Ray assisted with training t he first Bronze Squad this season, obtaining his Instructors Certificate. His encouragem ent of all t he candidates who found the qualifying Run-Swim-Run challenging was one of a true leader, caring person and a great trainer. It was Ray's voice sounding out 'you can do it' and 'come one, let's go' no matter what the conditions which inspired the entire squad. He will be sadly missed. Our Juniors this year played a very active part in training this season receiving 297 awards. This season the training program contin ued to promote additional awa rd s to the Surf Rescue Certificate . Well done to all involved and a specia l thank you t o all the Age Managers who assisted. The focus on training in the last four seasons has provided a massive benefit to our patrolling strengths. Training and education th is seaso n has encouraged membership retention and activity overall within the Club , with members asking wh at course they can do next when they finish - we love that kind of motivation.

The first day saw the court yard full with children and parents overflowing onto the public walkways. In the under 6 age group alone there were 75 children , almost double the entire amount of children for Nippers when the program started at Longy 10 years ago. Some drastic cha nges had to be made to accommodate these numbers, so the starting times for the age groups was staggered and age groups had to be subdivided. After some minor issues were sorted out, the children ventured over the sand dune and enjoyed the activities. The beach set up had race tracks occupying the whole of the southern end of the beach from the lifeguards tower to the lagoon. The season had begun ... A major factor that disrupted several weeks was the weather, which played havoc throughout the season with the first 3 weeks seei ng the water events cancelled due to rough seas. Following this a bizarre cold current swept the beaches making the children shiver as if they were swimming in June, even though it was the middle of summer. Even on presentation day the tent was set up for an outdoor affair only to have a southerly change sweep through and force the event inside at the last minute. Despite all th is the season was a success. Lots of Nippers got down and boogied at the disco in October ran by Dan Mumford and the social committee. Fun was had by all with many parents joining in. Twilight Nippers and the usual Christmas BBQ were also held during the year to add to the social scene and ra ise some money for the Club. For the first time we also hosted a fun day with South Narrabeen and Narrabeen su rf clubs to provide activities for those children that don't go to carnivals. The day was a success with different coloured nipper's caps on Long Reef beach for the first time in a long while. Sophie Hardcastle was the ' Nipper of the Year.' She has been competing since the under 6s and her hard work and dedication with the sport has paid off. Her major highlights were a bronze medal in the board riding at the NSW State Carnival, a gold medal in board and another bronze for board riding at the Branch Championships. At Cub level all the kids improved their skills through the efforts of age managers and other members giving pOinters on how to race smarter. Board training was held each Friday afternoon with plenty of people attending . This will be held again next year with all members invited. The following children excelled in the respected age groups by winning medals in the Cub Championships: 21 AGE GROUP GOLD SILVER BRONZE UNDER 8 GIRLS STEPHENIE JAUNZEMIS CLAUDIA METE KATELYN CASTLE UNDER 8 BOYS DANIAL FERREIRA RHYS VORILLAS MITCHELL SCOD UNDER 9 GIRLS SIMONE OLSON LUCY HARDAKER MATILDA GRIFFITH UNDER 9 BOYS MADHEW GRENOT SAMUEL BROOKER BEN SHEPPARD UNDER 10 GIRLS ISABELLA DALEY TALLULAH GILLIES JORDYN CHUE UNDER 10 BOYS MARK MC MANUS JAKE MADHEWS MORGAN MUMFORD UNDER 11 GIRLS MEGAN LUTZE GEORGIA HARDCASTLE KOBE KELLERMAN UNDER 11 BOYS GERARD MC ALINDEN PETER OLSON ROBBIE WOOD HOLLY LOOSLI UNDER 12 GIRLS EMMA JEFFCOAT NIKKI SHEPPARD UNDER 12 BOYS TIMOTHY SCARLED JUSTIN MC MANUS MITCHELL JEFFERY UNDER 13 GIRLS SOPHIE HARDCASTLE MAKAELA MOORE AMELIA EADIE UNDER 13 BOYS ANDERS LARSEN TIM WARNER PAUL FABBRO UNDER 14 GIRLS LAUREN WEATHERLEY ALISON WARE MINDI MANTELL UNDER 14 BOYS DEAN MOORE DAVID CHANEY ANDREW SELOSSE There were some outstanding results in competition.

The under 11 beach relay team of Kobe Kellerman, Megan Lutze, Rachael Weatherley and Claudia Lonngren-Hall also put in a commendable effort. We had two gold medalists at The Branch Championships with Sophie again winning her board race.

To the Nippers Committee and the 35 age managers who all put in a lot of time and effort during the year I thank you. The BBQ team who managed to raise a $1000 for new equipment took on a huge task and their efforts were rewarded. A great deal of organization goes on behind the scenes so if anybody does want to get involved for next season please come forward, more help is always needed and greatly appreciated. I would also like to thank our sponsors who helped the Nippers directly. IPAC SECURITIES sponsored the carnival tent, One Source Media and T+O+M Recruitment helped out with the age managers shirts, Nestle chocolates who provided the lollies for the Christmas party. This year also saw the passing of Ray Van Weeren. Ray and his family played an intricate part in the setting up of the Long Reef Nippers and through these efforts the Nippers programme is what it is today. He could always be counted on being at the beach and coordinating the water safety. He would always encourage the kids in the water getting out the back on boards and helping them in through the break. Although popping up in the middle of the younger girls swim races with sea weed on his head and looking like a sea monster might have put a couple of them off. " Ray we miss you. Tony Scarlett NIPPERS SUPERVISOR 23 10 Junior Ca tain's Re ort It has been yet again another very successful season for the Longy Cadets. great group of enthusiastic cadets this season, including quite a few new faces, great to see . As well as our Sunday morning events, the Cadets participated many different aspects of the Club and have proven that our Club's future is hands. We had a which was actively in in capable Th e season kicked off with a trip to Kiama and Jamberoo - where we controlled the action l ! It was a great weekend with fun had by all. Thank you to Doug, Mark, Robbo, Mem and Lockie for supervising us on the trip. In January we had a group of cadets from Cairns visit Long Reef for a few days. They joined us over the weekend for a few friendly competitions, participated in our board training, supported Longy at the Queenscliff carnival and put up a good fight against us at Zone 3. Everyone from both Cairns and Longy had a great time and hopefully we can arrange a trip up North sometime soon. Another thank you to all the families that helped out and billeted the group. On the competition side of things, once again we had some outstanding results from our Cadets. At the Branch championships we managed to come home with a heap of medals including 2 gold, 3 silver and 1 bronze. The success continued at State Championships where our U17 Patrol Comp Team (Stella Watson, Marin Suzuki, Nathan Gibson and James Thom ) won gold, Shane Stewart won silver in the U19 Male Champion Lifesaver and Andrew Selosse won bronze in the U15 Male Champion Lifesaver. Shane went on to compete at the Nationals over in Perth where he was placed 8th in Australia. Also, congratulations to all our Cadet members who achieved awards this season, especially those w ho gained their SRC and BM awards and are now joining us on patrol. Our Cadets play a vital role in the patrols at Long Reef, making up over 20% of all patrollers and putting in many hours on the beach. Thank you to all the senior members who helped out this season, especially Doug and Mark for coordinating Cadets this season, and Michael Fielding for volunteering to take over towards the end of the season when things became busy. Well done to all the Cadets for a wonderful season, can't wait to see you all back next year. Nathan Gibson and Stella Watson JUNIOR CAPTAINS 57 th Annual Report & Balance Sheet 2006/ 07 Long Reef Su rf Li fe Saving Club 11 Com etition Ca tain's Re ort Competition is th e life blood of a surf club, It is the arena for honing skills that may one da y sa ve a life, It is also an ar ea where the great bond of mateship is developed from which lifelo ng friendsh ips are made to say nothing of the pleasures provided by the many trips away, This year saw many new competitors enter the competition arena. In summer competition it was particula r ly pleasing to see so many Nippers step-up to the Cadet competition in the swi m, board and iron man. The events take on a new look for these competitors because of the la rge boards used and the shake down of clubs competing, where it seemed only ex perts remained , It was a credit to the training conducted by Pete Chaney that so many kids prod uced so many great results, Next season wil l focus as much on team events as on individual events since that is where the most excitement and success seems to lie for Longy, Many of these Cadets were then lured int o, for them what was a brand new form of competition, Lifesaving, in which the Clu b has been so successful over the last few years, Its success is the result of the strict tra ining regime that Doug Lucas has set in place and so well supported by the experienced cadets and seniors, The Club competed in this event with great success at Branch, State, and National level w ith many medals to show for their efforts, The Club continued to compete on the sand but to a lesser extent. Naturally the Nippers excelled again but some Cadets also were seen competing throughout the season, This area of competition desperately needs a coach to train the kids coming through and coo rdinate their competition activities. The boaties gave no less this season with crews both male and female from beginners to the experienced hammering away all season, It is pleasing to see the coordinated way that th eir captain Stephen Cox recruits many of our members into the highly disciplined training reg ime that runs nearly year round, Wi nter competition was just as enthusiastically approached with IRB racing attracting a lot of new blood, Training was underway on the back of the state summer carnivals and sh owed that the Club has so much enthusiasm and talent for this event, It is hoped this con tinues to grow throughout winter and into next season. Try Competing - The challenge has great rewards, Pete Selosse COMPETITION CAPTAIN 12 IRB Ca tain's Re ort Well 2006 - 2007 was yet another eventful season for Long Reef IRB's, From performing many rescues, training a large amount of new drivers and crew to assisting with water safety in many events. Early in the season 2 Long Reef IRB's assisted a film company with a surfing advertisement for a Japanese company, Although the surf was too big for the international super stars (12 foot but not for Jack) to get any good Longy action they were appreciative of the knowledge and skills we provided, On Australia day we provided 4 Longy IRB's for the official parade on Sydney Harbour, which was an experience that shal l not be forgotten, As the season went on a large amount of interest was shown for IRB's and racing especially from many younger members keen to race, So training started many months prior to the official ra cing season, With members such as Julie Moulden, Alice Clarke, Jane Gilmour and Mara Scherzinger improving their skills out of sight, a newly trained Boaty team of Adam L'Green and Angus Vowell have shown some promise; let's not forget "the Chiefs", professionally trained at Goulburn, To the best crew and patients like Nath Gibson, Stella Watson, Jacqui Stevenson, Aimee Lillyman, Lachy Gaad, and Monique Selosse, you guys have developed to be able to take on any surf conditions Huey can throw at you, Our skills developed so much so that we decided to host the first IRB carnival of the season, It didn't take long to realise that it was a massive task to organise, (ask Doug ) and to prepare 30 new IRB race members for racing, At the end of the day we made 4 finals with 3 places, which shows the future of racing is extremely promising, The day was topped off with the "I nflatable Party," which was a good wind down - a big high five to Sean, A special mention to Jerry - LONG REEF KIOSK for his ongoing support and generosity, Also to the usual suspects Jim, Pete, Tom, Doug, Boy and Bebbo, Todd Whiley IRB CAPTAIN 57'" Annual Report & Balance Sheet 2006/07 Long Reef Surf Life Saving Club hope tha t all t he crews enjoyed themselves as much as I did, and I look forward to seeing yo u a ll next seaso n!! 13 Boat Ca tain's Re ort Well, the 2006/2007 season was a good year for the boating fraternity with a large number of the crews performing well, the new juniors learning the boaty trade, plus our everlast ing vets continuing to get wet! Some of our crews definitely upped the ante this year with the "Ikunas" (Ben O'Reil ly, James Black, Mathew Russell-Jones, Andrew Dummett & Bruce Gaal), "Pupp ies" (Marty Morling, John Burns, Pete Burns, Adam L'Green), and "Squashed Possums" (Kathryn Cox, Brigitte Mason, Veronica Mair, Katie McGlynn) putting in an abso lutely huge amo unt of work training and competing. This resulted in these crews being extremely competi tive in the U19 and Open Women's divisions at carnivals throughout the season. We also had the "Chicks" (Keren Leatherbarrow, Erica Wood, Gel Abrahams, Tess Short, Alice Clarke & Rob Pearson) and the "Doggies" (James Black, Tim Ti ndale, Andrew DaSilva, Angus Vowell) attend a number of carnivals through the season in the new U23 Women's and U23 Men division, and the "Vets" continued to extend their attendance in the water. We also had a number of junior U19 crews grace Longy with their presence; • "Amoebas" (James Shaw, Stuart Garrett, Hamish Watson, James McAskill) • "Wedges" (James Downing, Oscar Mander-Jones, Harry Benson, Campbe ll Wi ll ia m s) In such a successful year for the boats there are so many people, or groups of people, to thank for making it happen; Kath and Brigitte for being so motivated to perform and improve. Veronica and Matt in their first year for taking on so ma ny challenges with t heir respective crews and performing extremely well. Chris and Rob for volunteering their time so early in the mornings to help train t he "Doggies", "Puppies" and "Squashed Possums". Stuart Garret for jumping into multiple crews at different times (an d wi nning a branch Silver Medall). The parents of all the junior crews who were willing to be bus drivers! Will Hardcastle for being a stand-in sweep, and all the other swee ps (Rob, Chri s, Bruce, Ian) for their guidance and time in sweeping the crews. Adam's dad Peter L'Green for towing the Longy surfboat to Perth and back ! All of the individuals and crews for putting the time and effort in to making it an enjoyable place to row surfboats' Special congratulations go "Puppies" for making the final at Australian Championships winning Silver at the Championships and also taking out t he Sydney Northern Beaches U19 score to win the inaugural "Woggles" Mason Trophy. Overall, it has been a very satisfying season as Boat and I sincerely Step hen Cox BOAT CAPTAIN 57 th Annual Report & Balance Sheet 2006(07 Long Reef Surf Life Saving Club 14 Race Secretar 's Re ort 15 Gear Steward This year as in previous years the swim was run on Sunday mornings at llam. It has become a little difficult to maintain the enthusiasm with poor weather plaguing us in the early part of the season and Nippers engulfing the beach. Despite this we had the regu lars turn up and compete in a fun filled close competition . This year gear continued to be maintained at a high standard. Thanks to last years Patrol Assessment Award we received a revolutionary new twin hull IRB. The IRB has been received wel l members and gets great reviews. It is great to see George Metcalfe still very competitive and taking it to the younger guys who I am sure learn from George's vast experience in competition. Thanks to Yamaha we were able to purchase a Rhino all terrain r.escue vehicle that provides a rapid response to all areas of the beach. The Rhino is now fully equipped with Defibrillator, First Aid Kit, Radio, Oxygen Airbag Resuscitator, Spinal Board and PA. Boy and Tom gave us the first ever tie in the overall points, the fierce competition between them over the series was exciting racing well worth being part of. In the girls Monique was in command in most of the disciplines however Mara was making a late charge and certainly has potential. Gear was maintained well throughout the season and thanks to regular upgrades to Boards, Skis, Tubes etc . over the past few years our equipment is in the great condition. So till next season when we will do it all again on Sunday, enjoy the winter and the skiing. lim Selosse RACE SECRETARY A quick friendly remi nd er to all members to please take care of the equipment by washing boards and skis in fresh water after use and replacing gently in the racks. Please do not drag equipment along the sand or leave out in the sun. Boards should be placed face down if on the beach to protect the knee pads from the sun. Pete Chaney GEAR STEWARD Shane Stewart BOARD AND SKI CAPTAIN Long Reef Su rf Life Sa ving Club 16 Vale All Club members were saddened at the loss of a number of members and former members during the year including: Rob Urquhart Ray van We rren Richard Swift Bevi s Dunn Richard Dowe (Pud) Coli n Linklater Michael Patrick Coyle ( Pike) Th e Club extends its deepest sympathy to their families. Rob Urquhart 12/4/1930 - 4/11/2006 Rob Urquhart died suddenly on 4 th November, 2006 after a short illness. Rob is survived by his brother Alistair, son Angus, Daughter La Cordukes and their families. Rob in a very real sense was the founder of our club. At the funeral service, Life Member Ross Thompson spoke of Rob 's involvement with Long Reef, both as a founding member and of his involvement with Colla roy SLSC prior to the foundation of Long Reef and then subsequently as a patrolling member, rower, sweep and Club Captain of Long Reef. Life Mem ber, John Freedman spoke of Rob 's commitment to Rugby over many years both as a player, selector and enthusiast . Rob 's brother, Alistair spoke in relation to Rob's life with his parents and siblings growing up at 33 Hay Street, Colla roy Beach and touched on the significant events which shaped Rob 's character - the death of their Father at an early age - Alistair's War Service with the A.I.F. in North Africa and New Guinea and consequently the necessity of Rob having to t ake on famil y responsibilities at a young age to help his Mother in the running of t heir home - the dislocation in those responsibilities following Alistair's return from active servi ce, and finally the death of their Mother. Alistai r reminisced that after the death of their Mother, Rob continued to reside at the family home and for a period of ti me the family home took on a new role as "Heartbreak Hotel ", due to the number of Long Reef Members who from th at t ime on used the home as a weekender. Rob's son, Angus, spoke of the guidance and nurturing that Rob had given his chi ldren and grandchildren in growing up and of Rob's ability, by example and by word of mouth, to impress upon them the right thing to do in any situation. 57 th Annual Report & Balance Sheet 2006/ 07 Rob 's daughter, La, highlighted Rob's activities and interests in later life with a humorous twist, which would have been greatly appreciated by Rob. Rob, like so many Members, was educated at the Shore School. He recruited from his friends at school and from fellow Members at Colla roy Surf Club, the original nucleus of Long Reef. When our Club was formed the Club colours were the same as the Shore School and our crest was designed in a similar fashion to the crest of Shore School. In the early days of the Club's formation, Rob's home in Hay St was used for the storage of Club gear. Once the space underneath the tramshed on Pittwater Road was leased, that became the " Club House". In the early days of the Club, members adopted a responsible but carefree attitude towards their duties. They devoted their energies to building up the Club membership, obtaining gear and equipment and attending to all the required fundraising and administrative tasks that necessarily entailed. Rob was a great believer in having a good time and on occasions was want to recall that "Long Reef always had the best parties" . Rob was a keen rower and also swept. It was through the early success of the " Boaties" that the Club gained recognition at a competiti ve level. In t he early days competing in boat events at surf carnivals was on onerous task . The boat had to be rowed to each carnival. It was then rowed to Manly, where it was then lifted head high and carried across Ashburner Street from South Steyne to the Harbour, so that rowing training cou ld take place in the Harbour during the week . Then of course the process had to be repeated in reverse at weekends. Photos on the Club's walls commemorate some of those early boating achievements and the rowers who took part including Rob. Over the years the Club made steady progress until the late 1960's when Club affa irs probably reached th eir apex following the Club's inaugural tour of New Zealand. At that time the Club had approximately eighty active Members. However, in the period follo w ing that successful tour disaster struck, for a variety of reasons, the end result of which was that the Active Club membership shrunk to twenty odd Members. At this stage, the Club appealed to all Active Reserve Members to resume patrols, so that the burden of attending patrols was lessened. The active Reserve Members generously responded and some are still doing patrols today. Also at this time it was necessary for the Club Captain to perform a very onerous role and Rob, who had not been active as a Member for many years, once again took on the role as Club Captain, bridged the gap between old and new Members . As a result our Club did not fail when many might have thought it would (even at Branch leve l) . Long Reef was not the only Club to have difficulties at that time, our Branch also had concerns as to the future of North Palm Beach and Bungan, but as it turned out, our Club overcame the sl ump and gradually returned to prosperity. Rob was for many years the principle speaker at the Annual Club Dinner and broadly speaking, his speech was the same each year. First, he would speculate on how you define a Club, is it the four wa ll s of the Club etc., then he would end his speech by tearing off his tie, unbuttoning his shirt to reveal an old woollen march past costume and then decry that the really important thing was the spirit of the Members. No wonder he was an inspiration to so many. 2001 Year of the Surf Lifesauer 57 th Annual Report & Balance Sheet 2006/07 Long Reef Surf Ufe Saving Clu b Ray Van Weeren 19/02/1960 - 27/1/2007 Rob also had a heavy involvement in Rugby Union and used that involvement to once again obtain Members for the Club. In the early days, many of the Club Members were also prominent Rugby Union players . Surf Com Surf Com this is long Reef Patrol - 'HBI Ray Van Weeren signing off.

Gone from our touch but never from our hearts. Goodbye Ray and thankyou. The passing of one of our truly great members' On Saturday 27th January, 2007 we saw the passing of one of our truly great and well respected members. Ray Van Weeren suffered a heart attack on Sunday 21" January and unfortunately the damage sustained was severe and he later passed away in Royal North Shore Hospital after spending several days in a coma.

Results for Term I 2007were as follows: Winning Nipper Team Barracudas - Ziggy Robinson, James Dawson, Josh Clarke, Ryder Stevens, Matthew Burgess. Most Improved - Ryder Stevens Best Nipper - Josh Ferris The Year 7 Nippers enjoyed a productive term at Long Reef beach every Thursday afternoon as well as on Saturdays with all boys demonstrating an improvement in fitness and water skills over the season. Competition was strong between the three teams but the Barracudas proved too strong for the others. The most prolific pOint scorer in any team was Josh Ferris and Josh proved his mettle by performing well in the Carnival series as well as during the Nippers training. Nippers Year 8 The Year 8 Nippers also had an outstanding season. In total 22 boys participated in the sport this summer. Students came from a wide spectrum of abilities; from those that were very proficient on the boards and in the surf to the novices of the beach culture. 18 of these students went on to achieve their Surf Education level II course held at Long Reef beach in March under the tutelage of Mr Stephen Ford of Training Aid Australia and this award should help them progress to the SRC next season. Mr Gow and new recruit Ms C.Beukes were able to put together as variety of events with the assistance of Simon Mitchell and Angus Platt.

This greatly enhanced their board skills as they had much more water time than usual. Having the boys exposed to a great variety of surf conditions, it was obvious that they improved their skill level and confidence greatly. Although it has become 57 th Annua l Report & Balance Sheet 2006/07 Long Reef Surf Ufe Saving Club During the season a number of boys volunteered to become IRB crewpersons, which involves completing a minimum of 20 hours of training and undertaking a written and practical assessment. On attainment of this award the boys were able to crew the Inshore Rescue Boat (IRB), and act as water safety for the public as well as the other Shore boys undertaking their regular SLS activities. apparent that the Nipper boards in particular are beginning to show evidence of wear and tear. Throughout the terms the boys were split into teams and competed against each other in a variety of events. The results of which are as follows: Best Nipper 2007- Andrew Selosse Most Improved Nipper 2007- Ollie Cropley Best Team (The Pitt's) 2007-Nick Hilleard, Zac Werrett, Rob Turner Students were again encouraged to participate at local Carnivals in the years ahead as competi tors for Long Reef. There is enormous talent in the ranks of the Shore boys and they wou ld be highly competitive, either as individuals or in team events . The opportunity is there for every boy to compete at the local, state and national levels . This yea r several students did indeed achieve medals (see later in the report) whilst others discovered how tough the competition could be at this level. Still Long Reef SLSC could tap into this talent pool more than they have this past season . Awards During Term III approximately a dozen students completed their Waterways license t est at School whilst a greater number attended the Train Small Groups course at Warriewoo d SLSC in preparation for their role as Training Officers in the coming season . I am pleased to note that a letter was sent to the Manly Daily praising the Senior boys for their positive contribution to this course and for their insightful questions and observations they made during their training. The awards programme was again structured in such a way that Term IV 2006 was a rather hectic term constituting 5 Bronze squads, three SRC squads, the ARC squads t rained in read iness for their term I exam plus a large number of crewmen completed their award at Long Reef beach. I t has become clear that due to concerns about personal health and safety that students from next season will be required to buy their own resuscitation masks, this should be a one off purchase should the boys look after their masks. The crewmen and drivers also benefited with the purchase of another engine and thanks must go to the Shore Foundation who continue to support SLS each year with the funding of many of our purchases. Term I 2007 was rather quieter in terms of SRC and Bronze with on ly 2 squads presented including 1 represent group but this was added to greatly with 5 ARC sq uads, over 20 crewmen whilst the Year 8 Nippers built on their Surf Ed level I with the Surf Educati on Level II course in this term. The boys are commended on their attainment of the awards this season and many thanks go to Mr. Matthew Cape, an old boy of Shore, who gave up his time each weekend to assist with the training of the boys and of course Tim Middleton an former Shore SLS captain and currently training to be a doctor as well as being one of the senior instructors at Palm Beach SLSC. Term IV proved to be the last term of Mat's involvement and we wish him well in his new employment. The stude nts enjoyed great success in all of these awards due to the great organisation and input of Mr Pa ul and Mr Meakins as well as Mr Dal Pozzo and Mr Bohlsen who obtained their Bronze meda ll ions in Term IV. Mrs Fenwick and Mr Inches kept driving the ARC whilst Mr Cook and Mr Weston took the crewman and drivers in both terms to their awards. We wish Mrs Fenwick all the best as she departs SLS for another less time demanding sport upon her return from maternity leave. We are all disappointed that Mr Bohlsen has moved on to become the Director of Athletic Performance at Barker but we wish him all the best in this exciting new enterprise . Instr uction was not without its hiccoughs and the ARC in particular is proving to be a difficu lt exam to get through with severa l students failing their exam in the week after Summer sport finished.

Shore competitors were able to register a total of 4 thirds, 3 second places and 3 first places illustrating a general improvement in this area. Notable performers on the beach were: Will Birch , Richard Platt, Scott Taylor, Chris Michael, Ian Fitzpatrick, Sam Christie, Ben Hughes, Ben Stone, Richard Hodgkinson , Pat Shields, James France, Joe Smith-Davies,. In the Ocean events Shore again proved to be dominant as they had been at the Knox & Pittwater carnivals but did experience weaker results in a few events such as the Under 18s surf swims although the swim team did win first place. Notable contributions were made by Harry Kindred, Andrew Selosse , Chris Michael,Jack Goldsmith, AI Shields, James Tennant, Angus Bower, Luke Stirton, Adam Roach, Tom Taufan, Rolly Davies, Scott Taylor, Adrian Perry, Christian Cameron-Strange, Alex Zids, Harry Martin, Will Birch, Jon Searle, Harry Kindred, Ben Neighbour, Jon Shtein, Tom Austin, Ian Fitzpatrick, Richard Platt, Jasper Morrison, Jake Davidson, Peter Lang, James France, Nick Chadwick , Luke Brotherton, Duncan Houston, Sam Hewitt, Tim Hosking and Sam Der Sakissian. Selosse, Jack Entwhistle, Jack Goldsmith, Josh Ferris and a special mention for Jonte Searle who had his best carnival ever with 3 seconds and 2 firsts. The Ocean events again proved the difference for Shore. The final points were as follows: Points 158 141 With the final carnival of the Inter schools carnivals competed Shore achieved first on all occasions for the first time ever. What makes this especially pleasing was that Shore did not have the carnivals all their own way and had to come back from behind on several occasions. Ben Neighbour as captain deserves special praise in this regard as he led from the front and proved to be fine role model for the younger competitors in carnivals but also with his proficiency. Ben invariably turned up at North Curl Curl for ARC exams that he had no direct responsibility for, organised before school training on Saturdays, took ARC and waterways exams in Term III and organised a surfing competition early on the last Saturday with prizes for the place getters during the end of season presentation carnival. Shore placed behind View in the Under 14's pOints score 88 to 24, first in the Under 16s 69 to View's 35 and Barker's 8. Whi lst in the Under 18's were behind 45 to Barker's 51 followed by View 's 16 until they were able to hall in Barker with the Open/Mixed events that finished the day. The surf boat rowers continue to make progress under the direction and sweeping of Steve Cox they all made great strides in their rowing this season. Indeed Stuart Garrett managed to earn himself a Silver medal at the Branch Championships with the crew from last year's Year 12. The final points were as follows It is hoped that Long Reef and Shore will ultimately benefit from an extended club house in the not too distant future as the fabric of the current building continues to crumble before our very eyes. This will ultimately enhance the training and enjoyment of the activity at all levels. Final Points Table Place School 1 Shore 2 Riverview 3 Barker Points 160 139 69 Ri verview hosted the final carnival of th is term at a hot Freshwater beach on the final Friday evening of the Summer season. Shore sent a slightly weakened (due to other School commitments) team comprising of students from Years 7 to Year 12 to compete in 3 age categories - Under 14, Under 16 and Under 18. Knox & Barker were unable to attend but this did not detract from a great evening. It was held in good spirits with a gentle surf and balmy weather and fortunately for Ben Neighbour no blue bottles as occurred in la st year's event. Once again Shore struggled on the sand in the flags and sprints but there was an improvement following the intensive hill and beach sprint training done over the past 8 weeks. Shore was therefore able to score 3 thirds and 2 seconds as well as 2 first places . Notable performers on the beach were: Ben Neighbour, James France, Will Birch, Duncan Houston, Jon Shtein, Peter Lang, Adam Roach, Rolly Davies, Harry Kindred, Andrew The SLS photograph was once again taken at Long Reef beach with the students wearing their SLS uniforms. The photograph is a far better reflection of what Shore SLS is all about. David Moore 's memory has also been kept alive with weekly photos posted on the notice board under 'Moore Photos' the photos taken by students using the water camera bought through donations following David's tragic death a few years ago. Rob Macfarlane has continued with his good photographic work including producing almost single handedly the Year 12 DVD of the season that has become a tradition for the Senior SLS students and is shown at the start of each subsequent SLS season .. The Shore students all indebted to the HBIs volunteers provided by the club each Saturday as well individuals such as Andrew Robson, Steve Cox, Tom Rees, Pete Selosse and Mark Nisbett and Doug Lucas. Peter Clarke continues to be a great support to the Shore staff on a weekly basis and we are all greatly indebted to him, he is a stable, experienced and balanced figure at the club who never puts himself forward but is always there to assist whether it be as carnival referee or in liaison between School and Club. -' ~ ~ J ~ ~ G 2DD7Year of the Surf LiFesauer Long Reef Surf Life Saving Club 57" Annual Report & Balance Sheet 2006/07 I am proud to say that Shore students helped make this happen by the shear numbers of awards that we put through each season. I encourage more Shore Year 12 students to stay with the Club as they leave school. 18 Ross Matthews OAM SLS NSW Life Member NR Scozzi SHORE SCHOOL MASTER IN CHARGE SLS Congratulations Ross' A fantastic Year of t he Surf lifesaver for Ross receiving Life Membership in SLSNSW and the prestigious Order of Australia Medal.

Name of Firm : Au di t Approach We conducted an independent audit in order to express an opinion to the members of the association. Our audit was conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, in order to provide reasonable assurance as to whether the financial report is free of material misstatement. The nature of an audit is influenced by factors such as the use of professional judgment, selective testing, the inherent limitations of internal control, and the availability of persuasive rather than conclusive evidence. Therefore, an audit cannot guarantee that all material misstatements have been detected. We performed procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with the Associations Incorporations Act NSW, including compliance with Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory financia l reporting requirements in Australia, a view which is consistent with our understanding of the association's financial position, and of its performance as represented by the results of its operations and cash flows. We formed our audit opinion on the basis of these procedures, which included: examining, on a test basis, information to provide evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial report, and assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policies and disclosures used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the committee. While we considered the effectiveness of management's internal controls over financia l reporting when determining the nature and extent of our procedures, our audit was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls.
