President’s Report
Artist’s impression of the proposed redevelopment
W
OW, what a season!!! The 2013-2014
season has come to an end, and I
must say it has been a testing and
trying one at times.
Firstly, I would like to thank my wife Emma and
children Sam, Madison and Chloe for their support, and
Emma for encouraging me to take on the President
role.
Thanks to Mark Madden for his work at the start of the
season. Mark resigned part way through the season,
and that’s when I stepped up and took on the role of
President. With the support and assistance of our new
administrator Karen Bloor we had a very positive and
active season.
To all members, well done on an awesome season –
without your hard work and dedication our season
would not have been as successful as it was. In
particular, I would like to thank the following groups
within the club:
 Our training team of instructors and assessors led by
Dan and his team: for continuing to improve the
skills of members and produce quality lifesavers
 The Youth Development crew led by Michelle: for
your enthusiasm in all aspects of club life and your
well-deserved recognition as most improved club in
the branch
4
 Gus and his board riders: for building a strong team
of surfers and your competitive success
 Gary and his team of Nipper parents: for a very
successful season on the beach and in the
competition arena
 Arnie and the boat crew: for resurrecting interest in
the surf boat and passing this on to a new
generation
In February a Trivia Benefit Night was held at Pacific
SLSC for my daughter Chloe. 170 people turned out on
the night and raised close to $10,000 dollars to go
towards her expenses. Thank you to all who attended
from far and wide and who have supported my family
throughout these trying times. A special thanks to Tony
Emerton and all at Pacific for donating the use of their
club for this event.
We are entering a new
era of the Club with
major renovations
about to get underway
Troy Kling
As I look back on the season, there were many positive
and rewarding moments that we all should be proud
of, including:
 Awards & Plaques:
 Youth Award
 IRB Award
 Board Riding Award
 Nippers 3rd at State on Handicap
 Annual Door Knock Appeal – $7,300.00 raised
 Boardies Day – $9,000.00 raised, thanks to Mark
Waters and Cesear Perilla
 Nippers, Water safety, Carnivals, Nipper BBQs – led
by Gary and his strong fantastic team behind him
 Members collecting and fundraising throughout the
season
I’d like to acknowledge the generosity of the sponsors
and businesses that supported us. Without your help
the service we provide to the community would not be
possible:

As this Annual Report goes to print we are entering a
new era of the Club with major renovations and
upgrades to our building about to get underway. Well
done team, this is a very exciting time!
It was sad to hear of the passing of two of our past
members Harry Edwards and Arthur Sweeney. They
were two true gentlemen, and words cannot say
enough about these guys and their involvement and
service to the Club. Well done and thank you. Rest In
Peace!
I could go on forever and thank everyone one by one
for this season, but let me sum it up this way: great
members, great club, great results and great rewards.
The success of this season was only possible due to all
your hard work and dedication: from the committees,
through the patrolling members and right down to the
nippers and parents on the beach. Thank you.
On a personal note, my sincere thanks to all, for being
there for me and my family throughout this season and
trying times. I could not have done this season without
all of you being there. You are true friends, my true
Palm Beach Surf Club Family.
THANK YOU!

Secretary’s Report
O
ur club commenced the start of the season
with a positive outlook with growth from
the previous year. Our annual meeting saw
most of the positions being taken up which
was a great result. Over the next few weeks we had
everyone in their positions and ready to go. We did not
know just how much growth we were about to
experience…
Our Youth Development officer Michelle Blake had a
blinder all year. Not only looking after the teenagers on
the beach, but organising their Straddie assault
weekend, Xmas function, Youth Excellence Ball (being
third on the night), bonding all our teenagers into
friendly and good natured young people. I don’t know
if Todd saw much of his wonderful wife Michelle during
the season.
After losing our Administrator Renee Hogben to
Coolangatta SLSC, we employed Karen Bloor as the new
administrator just before the season started. Karen
came right at the time when new and current
registrations were coming in for the senior and junior
members, with probably 400 to process. Karen was
thrown into the deep end, and like all lifesavers,
surfaced and began to put all the office into place.
It was encouraging to see the Junior Activities
expanding during the season with so many mums and
dads present during the Saturday training. Again this
growth was through the leadership and dedication of
JAC chairman Gary Fraser and his band of cheerful
parents and their never-say-die approach to the benefit
of the children under their care. Big things will be the
order of the day next season.
The committee team warmed to the challenge to do
their best and all members were quickly part of an
enthusiastic group. Those who put their hand up
included Sam Morgan, Codey Trethewey, Sharna
Campbell, Te’a Peluso to list a few.
Something else that has happened this season is the
raising of funds from outside sources. These included a
BBQ at Bunnings in Brisbane. These fundraising ideas
were all the go years ago in the club, and I still
remember these days of walking the streets of
Warwick, Brisbane and Palm Beach selling art union
tickets everywhere. It is wonderful to see the members
who will do this to ensure the club has the funds to be
able to make sure we are available to keep our beach
safe and keeping equipment in good condition.
Over the months I saw many members pull together to
ensure the job at hand had an easy result. There were
always members around the club to open the club prior
to patrols. Packing away each afternoon wasn’t all that
easy, but at the end all was completed.
I congratulate the members who received Bronze
Medallions, which is the gateway to anywhere in the
lifesaving environment. Other awards gained were
ARC, IRB, First Aid, Silver Medallion, ATV and
Resuscitation. These awards were available with the
dedication of loyal members Dan Stewart, Sue Damon,
Mary Farrell and Richard Andrews and were a
wonderful result for the club.
While we have so many wonderful events this season
to remember, we had Troy Kling and Emma’s daughter
Chloe going through chemotherapy over the last 12
months. The club, family members, near-by surf clubs,
friends and local businesses had a fundraising event at
Pacific Surf Club. The evening raised close to $10,000 to
assist with expenses for Chloe’s treatment. We are all
looking forward to the day when Chloe will be free of
any illness.

Gordon Shears
Our coach Nick Dennis had a great year with a small
squad of U17 and open members. Medals at State
Board riding was a good result and hopefully there will
be more starters next season as I see skis, Malibu
boards and Arnie’s boat crew getting ready for the next
season.
Allied to Nick’s training we have now a very
professional gym set up on the northern side of the
club. The person responsible was member Tony Rapallo
who pushed the Supporters Club to fund the
equipment over several months.
Gym memberships are available from Karen in the Surf
Club office. It would be beneficial for all levels of
membership join up to get the benefit of keeping fit.
I hope to see as many as possible using the club during
the winter months to keep members at a general
fitness level, as next season creeps up soon!

Treasurer’s Report
G
oodbye to 2013-14 and greetings to 201415. 2013-14 was an interesting year for
surf club with regard to finances. The
policy to encourage membership, member
participation and to get families more involved was
implemented. As part of this project membership fees
were put on hold and several were decreased. Dorm
use was also encouraged for rostered patrollers. As a
result there was a considerable decrease in income
from membership fees and the Dorm rentals.
Additionally, as part of the drive to encourage
participation in club activities club support towards
funding for carnivals increased this year. This has put
considerable pressure on working capital.
On the bright side many members became more
involved and both the juniors and seniors got behind
the fundraising drive and put in a big effort to lift
fundraising revenues. Part way through the year Mark
took on the role as fundraising coordinator and has put
in a great effort along with many others and
fundraising looks to be making a comeback. If fees are
to be kept low and support for activities maintained,
we will all need to put a huge effort into fundraising
next year and in future years.
Scott O’Neill
Expenditure on new equipment, repairs and
maintenance was moderate and enabled the lifesavers
to keep the beach open and do what the club is about.
“Make the beach a safe and welcome place.”
Thanks to the supporters club who once again
continued with their invaluable support. During the
year they donated assistance through funds, services,
equipment and goods of approximately $100,000
towards operating the surf club.
In total the
supporter’s club donations totalled $259,203. This
included paying out the redevelopment loan, servicing
other loans, and contributions to the future building
development. Well done to Darrel and his team.
Thanks to the
supporters club who
once again continued
with their invaluable
support
The Department of National Parks, Recreation, Sport
and Racing once again granted $10,000 to the club
towards encouraging young people to participate in
sport. The grants carried over were all acquitted to
complete the trailer purchase, buy boards for the
nippers and finish the gymnasium. The gym is now
deriving membership fees and arrangements are being
put in place to use the gym facilities to provide an
income stream in the future.

Fund Raising Officer’s Report
T
his season saw improvements in some
fundraising areas and downturn in others.
With the annual SLSA Surf Appeal the Club
raised an outstanding $7,300 which more
than doubled last year’s effort of just over $3,000. A big
thank you to the Brisbane crew who ran a massive
weekend at Bunnings at Cannon Hill, raising over
$2,000 on the weekend on their own. Many thanks to
our many members who participated in raising the
funds plus Bunnings, Big W at Robina, Burleigh, Mt
Ommaney and Toowoomba, The Pines Elanora and
Wendys (The Pines).
We also had outstanding support this season from
former member Mark Waters from Today Homes and
nippers’ dad Ceaser Perilla from Quantum Property
Services, who organised an outstanding Boardies Day
Sportsman’s Lunch at Currumbin RSL which raised over
$9,000. The lunch featured former Brisbane Bears AFL
star Richard Champion as MC, who in addition to
compering a great lunch and auctioneering a range of
great sports memorabilia items, also belted out some
great renditions of songs including Cold Chisel’s “Flame
Trees”. Special guests also included current Brisbane
Lions players Simon Black and Dane Zorko. We’d love
to see a similar event next season.
In terms of grants this season, the Club was successful
with two Get Going grants from Sport and Recreation
Queensland including $9,244 for nipper boards, rescue
boards and training resources, plus $9,090 for
promotional and membership development activities
including upgrading the Club’s website which will be
implemented next season.
The Club also benefited from the annual Queensland
Government/SLSQ operating grant to sustain our Club
operations, and our successful Supporters Club
continued to be our major funding contributor.
This season we also completed the gym upgrade
project, funded by the Jupiter’s Community Benefit
Fund, and well done to Tony Rapallo for bringing the
gym upgrade project to a successful completion which
included additional funds from the Supporters Club.
We wish the Club Surf Coach Nick Dennis all the best
with his lease of the gym and provision of fitness and
health services.
In addition this season, the Club organised a hugely
successful Trivia Benefit Night for President Troy Kling
Mark Madden
and his family to support two-year-old daughter Chloe,
suffering from Leukaemia. The night was held at Pacific
Surf Club, one of Troy’s former clubs, who not only
donated the use of their fantastic club function
facilities but also donated the night’s bar profits.
Outstanding support from our sister club.
In addition to Pacific SLSC, the night was also supported
by a large number of local businesses and individuals
with generous donations of prizes and funds including:
Caltex Elanora, Renee and David Hogben from
Coolangatta SLSC, The RACQ Royal Pines Resort,
Mantra Resort Surfers Paradise, Craig Miller and Kings
Apparel, FSG, Sirromet Winery and the Delahunty
family, Ray Friend from Cambio Group, Gold Coast
Titans, Gold Coast Suns, Palm Beach Surf Life Saving
Club, the Member for Burleigh Michael Hart,
Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, Claire Gilmour and Gold
Coast Remedial and Oncology Massage, Rick Van
Kampen and Can Do Fitness (Coolangatta SLSC), Streets
Ice Cream, Rackley’s Swim Centre Burleigh, Mark and
Sharon Freemantle, Ross Calvert, Mick Willets, John
Batchelor, Dan Stewart, Richard Andrews, Tony
Emerton and DHD Surfboards, Boutique, Coles Palm
Beach, BWS Palm Beach and more.
The night which was attended by a capacity crowd of
over 150 raised close to $10,000 to assist with some of
their expenses and hardships including medical
expenses, travel, loss of earnings and other costs.
Deservedly, Troy and Emma Kling won on the night
accommodation at the luxurious Mantra Surfers
Paradise where, Troy claimed, they would enjoy a
belated honeymoon.
As for the trivia, 16 teams battled out a tough and
enjoyable contest, with the night the winner. Many
thanks to MC Gerry Keyte from the Tweed Heads PCYC
and trivia runners Di Murray and Evelyn Casey.
Next season we look forward to growth in a range of
fundraising areas including the SLSQ Sustainability
Fund.

Club Captain’s Report
S
o many great things can be said about this
season, from competitions to the amount of
awards we as surf lifesaving members have
obtained through the season. I could mention
the trips we have had away, our amazing collection
drive, how many rescues we have completed,
preventions, first aids and the list goes on for the many
great things Palm Beach has done this season.
The one thing that I will say is that everyone in our
great club has done their very best for each other.
From our seniors down to our juniors, everyone in this
club has done nothing but support each other and
motivate each other to do their very best.
Codey Trethewey
We have pushed each other to our fullest potential and
had so many great times along the way. Each and every
one of you should be as proud as I am about all the
hard work put in this season.
I’d like to personally thank our 120 active patrolling
members, who amongst them clocked up a total of
5893 hours patrolling our beach this season. A special
shout out to the following ten members who
contributed the top ten total patrol hours for the
season:

Club Vice Captain’s Report
W
hat a year!! This was my second year
as Club Vice Captain and the growth
and success of our little club over the
last year has made me proud to be
part of it. This year was like no other for myself at the
club; seeing the success of our junior training program
has been the highlight for me to say the least. I
congratulate all the juniors who competed this year as
they really put our little club on the map once again.
I would like to make special mention of our new bronze
medallion recipients this season; having captained
many of you during the year, I am proud to say that you
guys are going to be the future for our club and your
commitment to surf life saving is to be noted!
16
Jaime Taylor
On the life saving front, this year was a big one. All
patrol members are to be congratulated on their
efforts both on and off the beach (patrols and training).
This year we saw a total of 26,851 patrons in our care
with 5,766 preventative actions being taken. This
shows the vigilance and care you as Palm Beach life
savers are showing towards the community.
Lastly, I would like to make once again a special
mention to a person I consider a mentor in the life
saving world. Welcoming back Richard Andrews was a
blessing. The work and commitment he shows gives
our little club the push and energy to move forward
into the future.
Thank you everyone for a great year!!
IRB Captain’s Report
Marco Masia
T
he 2013-2014 season has come to an end.
This season saw myself taking over as IRB
captain to allow Codey more time to concrete
on his role as Club Captain. I’d like to firstly
thank Codey and Troy for showing me the ropes.
There has also been a number of people assisting me
with various repairs throughout the season as it has
been the busiest season in a while for the IRBs with a
record number of new IRB drivers (including myself)
and new IRB crewies.
Congratulations to all members who gained IRB awards
this season.
These people got their IRB Crew Certificate:

We are in the process of applying for grants for some

keep you posted on this.
Thanks to Peter and the team at Midcoast Marine for
their continued support and advice over the season. As
special mention to Sam Morgan and Sam Pike who
cleaned and painted the IRB shed this season!
Last of all, thanks to my family for allowing me out on
the weekends!

Chief Training Officer’s Report
A
lthough another season passes, there are
still some courses continuing in what has
been a very active training room through
the year.
Just about everything we do on the beach nowadays,
whether we be nippers or older members needs some
sort of training to be signed off on before it takes place.
Of course, this places a heavy load on those who
prepare and process the paperwork.
Karen has picked up on this quickly and we owe her
many thanks for smoothing out most of the “wrinkles”
along the way – “wrinkles” often created by us not
doing the right thing by our roles and responsibilities.
The staff at Branch, including Kerrie Barnes, Rachael
and Kat have also been of great assistance. Some of the
administrivia is being made simpler, but it will always
be there – especially as more of our theory study and
outcomes can be done on line.
Proficiencies went quite well, but the cost to the club
for pool hire may be avoided this coming season by
asking you to obtain a certified swim time at any pool,
at your leisure before coming to proficiency day. As
well, I believe the proficiency paper will be shorter and
more relevant to current changes than repeating the
same old stuff, and available for access on line. More
advice concerning this will follow.
The lists on pages 20-21 indicate the number and
variety of awards gained by our members throughout
the season.
We started the season very short of Patrol Captains
(Silver Medallion, Beach Management), Oxy-Defib
operators (Advanced Resuscitation Techniques), IRB
Crewpersons and Drivers (IRBC, Silver Medallion-IRB
Driver) but have increased our numbers to basic patrol
sufficiency. But there is more room for improvement.
18
Dan Stewart
In particular, I want to mention the IRB people who
need to make a big regular weekend commitment to
complete their courses and the SRC and Bronze squads
who also have to make time in a busy life to fit in all the
training required. I think we can stand proud and say
we all earned our awards and they weren’t handed out
like medals from a corn flakes packet.
We live in a world where education will always be
ongoing. Already, I have found that there will be a new
“roll out” of First Aid including Advanced First Aid, the
CPR certification, reintroduction of a Silver Medallion
Advanced First Aid, more on line theory. Many of these
have workplace relevancy in all industries. But if you
can’t be bothered by all this, we still need you. Basic
life saving is in fact the base of the pyramid on which
we build our proud beach traditions.
I need to acknowledge the support, assistance,
dedication and loyalty of many people in this club. In
particular, the efforts of all our trainers (Sue Damon,
Richard Andrews Mary Farrell, the IRB boys from
Currumbin), Victoria and some of the other younger
juniors, the trainers in training (Sam Pike, Sam Morgan,
Te’a Peluso, Mitch Gilmour), the visiting assessors, the
skills and competition coach Nick Dennis for taking
some that next step forward to becoming really good
life savers. There are many others who made it more
enjoyable for us all – sausage cookers, gear toters,
water safety, supportive parents, and so on. There was
a real club spirit and feel to achieving our outcomes.
Thanks to you all, especially for accepting any
knowledge, experience, advice and enthusiasm from an
old dude who doesn’t swim or paddle much now, just
pays out on you in the old life saving traditions when
you stuff up.
Vintage Season—more to come!

Surf Boat Captain’s Report
T
he drought is over for the Memory of Andy
Frizzell Surf Boat which got its chance to taste
the salty waters once again after a long wait
in its home of homes the boat shed.
But notably over all this season there was the happy
bond amongst all members – juniors and seniors –
growing stronger as the season progressed. With this
happening, it only puts the future of the club in a
positive direction.
I would like to take this chance to acknowledge the
positive way the Supporters Club Committee are
working in with the Surf Life Saving Committee; this
also is very positive for the future of Palm Beach Surf
Life Saving Club.
November 2013 saw a number of members try to surf a
surf boat. A dozen members turned up one Sunday
morning expecting just to row out to sea and catch a
wave, not knowing the front from the back of the boat.
Well, now they know how to surf it up after a long time
learning the basic skills.
Only discipline, dedication and determination has got
them this far. Now it’s up to the members to decide
which direction and destination they would like to take
surf boat rowing.
22
Arnie Eussen
The Surf Boat will continue through the winter, so all
are welcome to come down and try it out.
Yours in Surf Boat Life Saving.

Youth Development Officer’s Report
A
Michelle Blake
s the season has now come to an end, I feel
grateful for all the members, trainers , staff,
parents and of course our Seniors, that have
put in so much effort to help make our
youth Development Team such a success.
The setup of our Facebook page was the start of more
great things to come, with the communication lines
open to the younger members who don’t read their
emails but will always read their Facebook messages!!
The posting of photos and events quickly led to a
growth in interest in being a part of events that were
on offer.
Some events that were definitely a highlight and
created a big bond with our seniors were…


The Beach Bash
Annual Australia Day Surfing Comp
Stradbroke Island Patrolling Weekend
Christmas Party
Youth Excellence Ball
Palmy Seniors Club Champs

Dorm Sleepover (organised by Junior Club Captains)
With all of that said, I would like to congratulate our
Seniors. You are definitely a very talented group who
have definitely done your club proud this season.
24
It is no wonder that we won The Most Improved Club
on the Gold Coast for Youth Development!!!
Junior Male Co-Captain’s Report
Mitch Gilmour
A
big thank you to the parents who have
helped through the season. Especially
Michelle Blake, for organising all our events
for the Youth Development Group this
season. This year has been the best so far. All these
events brought all the club members together, from all
different age groups and abilities. It has created a fun
atmosphere down at the club that we have not had for
some years.
My highlights for this year were:

through the season.
Also a big thank you to Arnie for starting up the surf
boat rowing at Palm Beach again. It has been the best
fun I have had all season, catching waves in the boat.
Looking forward to next season.

or me, the 2013-2014 season has been a
memorable one, with many highlights coming
to mind:
Beach Bash
Youth Development Ball
Stradbroke Island Trip
All Carnivals
Annual May Day Dinner
Intensified training regime
Awards achieved by Youth Development Crew
Water Safety at Nippers Carnivals
PATROLS
Sleepovers at dormitories
Youth Development Awards Night
Pool Rescue Carnival
MAJOR HIGHLIGHT:
 Morning surfs and general growing of club as a club;
improving friendships etc.
To begin with, the obvious must be stated. This club,
now, in terms of its youth aspect is something that it
hasn’t been for many years. The club is a close-knit
community now; a club. This has only been possible
because of the attitudes of the youth (under 14’s and
up) crew and through the efforts of club officials;
particularly Michelle Blake and Karen Bloor.
Marcus Traucnieks
Also, a special thank you to Lena Hegel, who this
season has trained and patrolled with the club while on
exchange from Germany. She has contributed to our
club as a member and her efforts should be recognised.
I think I speak for everyone when I say that we
definitely enjoyed Lena’s involvement and we’ll miss
her and wish her all the best in Germany when she
leaves us. Lena said at our Annual Dinner that our club
was her choice, what a compliment!
There is one minor issue that I’d like to raise in this
report. This is in regards to a lack of interest in
swimming training in the club that isn’t healthy for
competition. This year, on two occasions I’ve
commenced an initiative (with the support of our
Coach Nick) to try and encourage our club members;
especially the youth development crew, to improve on
their swimming; somewhat of a weakness for some of
our members. Competitively, we can mix it on surf craft
but at times fall behind when it comes to swimming. It
would be encouraging to see more motivation from
more members to compete better in all disciplines at
our club. I believe the subtle, ongoing fostering of an
overall “be more competitive” culture within our club
could see growth in the competition and training side
of our club.
In recognising Karen; she organises everything official
we do as a competitive unit i.e. carnivals and she also
has been steadfast in her management of notifying
people of what is happening at the Club. A big thank
you must go to Karen.
There’s also the wonderful, committed Michelle Blake.
She has done everything for us this year. All that the
Junior Co-Captains have enunciated in terms of season
highlights has been attributed to Michelle. Words can’t
describe what Michelle has done for the club and for
the Youth Development Initiative this season but a
massive thank you might suffice.
Nick Dennis’s efforts as the club coach definitely need
to be recognised also. He has transformed what was an
inconsistent training programme into a high standard
training regime that has served well in terms of carnival
results this year. We definitely look forward to further
training under Nick, a champion competitor himself.
26
That said, this season has definitely been a success.
What about our “Most Improved Club” award? What
an achievement!
Also a big thankyou to the many people who do an
array of tasks every week and without whom the
wheels would fall off, to make our club great!
If it was at all possible I would like the opportunity to
be permitted, as one of the Junior Co-Captains, to sit in
on the Committee meetings that Michelle Blake attends
to perhaps give a “Youth” contribution and generally
learn more about the workings of Our Club.
Junior Female Captains’ Report
Ashleigh & Te’a
A
s the season comes to an anticipated end, it
is hard to dismiss the incomprehensible
amount of fun that was had this summer.
The Youth Development Program at our surf
club has not only enhanced our season enjoyment
tenfold, it has forged lifelong friendships and some of
the most memorable moments of our and all the rest
of the gang’s surf club life.
The crew this season started off scattered through all
areas of the club in their own separate little groups; the
competitors, the casual patrollers, the newcomers, and
the ones that never had a group to call theirs, and over
what seemed a very short season the crew collected
together to form a bond that will be forever
inseparable.
For many this was just Palm Beach SLSC and we were
all just bunch of people who came together to patrol,
but now we all call it our second home, our second
family. Each and every member of the youth crew have
racked up more patrolling hours than ever before,
turning up to not only their own patrols but also
volunteering on numerous other patrols.
The crew collected together
to form a bond that will be
forever inseparable
The immense array of expeditions, experiences and
journeys we have immersed ourselves in this season
are a reflection of the exponential growth we, as a surf
club, are undergoing, and is exciting to witness and be
a part of.
From the first annual Straddie trip, to the world-class
training, from flogging everyone in the Gold Coast
Beach Bash, to the late night sleepovers at the club,
and to transforming from the red and yellow daggy
patrolling uniforms into suits and ties, dresses and
heels, this season will be definitely one to remember.
However, arguably one of the most prominent
components of yesterseason that remains etched in
our minds, that overwhelms us with a sense of pride
every time we take that familiar stroll up and over the
concrete ramp of Palm Beach Surf Club, is the fact that
we know that all the friends we consolidated over the
season will be there, out on their boards, swimming or
anything in between, waiting for you with open arms to
enjoy the ocean and the collaborative involvement it
provides.
A massive thanks to the best Youth Development
officer; Michelle Blake , to the senior clubbies, trainers,
parents and everyone in-between that have been
involved in creating such a spectacular and
unforgettable season for the youth crew. It cannot be
put into words how immensely proud we are as the
Junior Female Captains to see this happen right before
our eyes.
Being together: that was, and still is, the best part
about being a 2013-14 member of the Palm Beach SLSC
Youth Development crew.

Coach’s Report
W
hat a season it has been! Looking back
over the Past 12 months I don't think
anyone would have predicted the
amount of growth we have had in
what used to be our “small” club.
After a slow start to the season our senior squad really
stepped up and our numbers increased dramatically
which saw a dedicated group of seniors training week
after week. I am so happy to say that both our Junior
and Senior squads are now stronger than ever.
Below are some of my highlights of the season:
Junior and Senior squads
are now stronger then ever
I started the season with the challenging task of taking
on both the Junior and Senior coaching roles. The
nipper squad was booming and we had loads of
momentum from a great season in 2012-2013.
However our senior squad had dwindled away over the
previous years and was lacking direction.
28
 Our Juniors’ performance at Nipper branch! Such an
awesome effort at this carnival with the best results
we had seen at a nipper carnival for years. We shone
on the beach and also in the water! for the first
time.
 The Australia Day surfing competition really showed
how close our Junior and Senior clubs are with
nippers and adults all surfing together showing off
their skills and most importantly having a great time.
 Our first Senior Club Championships in years. We
had around 30 competitors take part in 6 challenging
and fun events.
Nick Dennis
Thank you to everyone who has helped out over the
last year. I would especially like to thank the Junior and
Senior committee for supporting me with all
endeavours, officials, water safety, parents, and
competitors for all your hard work throughout the
season.

Saturday 3 May saw the return of the Palmy Club
Championships, after an absence of many years. 30
competitors participated in water, beach and novelty
events, and much fun was had by all.
Matt competed up a year, in the U15 division, in the
board riding and board race events. Matt did himself
and his club proud by being the last nipper in Australia
to make it to the semi-final of the board race.
Board Riding Titles
Once again we have seen success in the competition of
surf board riding in SLSC Sports.
Over previous years we have had great results in this
area and it is tremendous that we are once again the
club showing the results on the podium.
These board riding competitions are held in age groups
from U11s to Masters.
We had great results at both carnivals and
congratulations to all who competed at both events,
especially to the members listed below

always had smiles on their faces and supported other
members at all times. I can say that I am very proud of
all our members in their dedication and making sure
the blue and white was represented with pride .To all
the parents and helpers, thanks for the unwavering
support on and off the beach.
Finally a huge thanks to Nick Dennis, our club coach,
who has again given our competitors an excellent
preparation, as well as support and encouragement at

Transport Officer’s Report
Tony Rapallo
T
he 2013-2014 season has been one for
discussion regarding the future of our existing
vehicles. The club four-wheel drive is well and
truly at the end of its life and decisions need
to be made regarding its future and possible
replacement. After much discussion, the committee
have endorsed me to look at options that are best fit
for all facets of the club. Therefore, after consultation
with representatives from junior activities, youth
development, senior activities and education and
training, it was my recommendation to look at a
replacement.
I have specifically recommended looking at a 12-seater
bus such as a Toyota Commuter that is most suitable
for the diverse groups and their associated activities.
Therefore, the club will be looking at a grant
application in the near future to acquire a commuter
vehicle that has limited restrictions on driver
credentials other than an open licence. I am hoping to
combine a grant application, trade in and assistance
from the supporter’s club to meet the club needs. A 12seater vehicle could be utilised in many ways, such as:
 Assisting the members from Brisbane with travel and





collections
Youth development programs
Fundraising
Travel to carnivals
Education programs
Supplement the supporter’s club operations
The 22-seater bus has once again assisted the club
income stream via quarterly donations for use from
34
Elanora High (income of approximately: $7000 and
outgoing approximately: $3000 a year). Although the
club gets minimal use throughout the season for its
operations, there is a clear tracked financial benefit to
our club. Without this resource, the surf life-saving
curriculum at the school would likely fold. The
community partnership with the high school is well
established and one we should continue to foster and
promote. Hopefully more interest in life saving at the
school will continue and the club benefits from future
membership.
The bus is in very good shape mechanically due to
regular maintenance and minimal kilometres driven per
year.
It was great to see the youth development members
enjoy their time attending the Straddie camp and youth
development ball at Bond University, whereby travel in
the bus was so beneficial. It is on these occasions that
members appreciate having such a vehicle. We are very
fortunate.
Administrator’s Report
T
Karen Bloor
hanks to all members who welcomed me and
who I got to know over the season for your
support, which has helped me get to know
what Surf Life Saving is all about and the love
members have for their Club.
It has been a truly awesome year and I have learnt a lot
from you all.
In the role of Administrator you see everything
regardless, plus you are involved directly or indirectly
with every aspect of how the Surf Club runs. So “full
on” would be a word I would use to describe this role. I
have thoroughly enjoyed being involved. Knowing that
all the roles are voluntary, I was more than happy to
help out when required. By doing this you get to
understand all so to speak. 
What is great is that members drop in to see me about
all aspects: Training, Carnival, Awards, Fundraising, and
so on, or just to have a chat which generally turned into
a something for the club. Also all the members always
call out when they come to surf or training or just
walking by. I really appreciate that, and it made me
more aware of how important this role is to the
members and the community.
Well, Saturday mornings were a real eye opener and a
big learning curve for me and the new committee, but
so much fun. Everyone is involved – “it’s all happening”
– which is awesome. I would get here at 7am and the
dads would have it sorted, which was great. Once
Nippers started then the Brissie crew (“the Sams”)
would come and check on me, making sure I had a
coffee and was OK! And this happened all season – the
members made sure I was OK.
Our patrollers save lives and
that’s what this is all about
Then there was Proficiencies and Awards (aka “scary
stuff”), but with the help of Dan “Pesky” Stewart I
learnt a hell of a lot. We now have a system in place
that works and we are setting up a training template
for each season. Thanks Dan for your patience, but we
got there. Also with the support of Branch – Kerrie, Kat
and Rachel – they are a very switched-on team, and we
are very lucky to have them.
Doing the Bronze Medallion Course this year with my
bestie Janelle Gill made me realise why there is so
much training, why there is so much paperwork. When
doing this course all active members contribute to your
training, whether they are there with you in the water
to ensure your safety, or in the training room doing
demos for you to understand why all aspects are
important because our patrollers save lives and that’s
what this is all about.
Within this role I have developed a great relationship
with the Supporters Club, and we work well together –
so thanks to you all for your support and help
throughout the year.
With the support of Troy Kling with his nonfuffly persona, which works for me, we had a great
year so 2014-2015 should be a ripper. See you then,
and once again thanks to you all for your help and
support.

Nipper Report
T
hank you to everyone for their contribution
and support of the Palm Beach Nippers for
the 2013 -2014 season. We were fortunately
blessed with one of the better summer
seasons of good weather and surf conditions to match.
The season saw the election of a new and enthusiastic
Junior Activities Committee (JAC) who were all very
inexperienced in managing and coordinating the
Nippers activities however the “Team Attitude” and
willingness to achieve the outcomes planned during the
winter months was tremendous… One of the major
deliverables for the new JAC was the vision of
developing confident Nippers in a fun and safe beach
environment which was achieved.
Awards throughout the season. Thanks Dan and our
Age Managers for your time and patience with our
Nippers teaching them the important core lifesaving
skills.
Socially this season saw the Nippers and parents have
lots of fun and great laughs at the well organised
Halloween party held at the Club followed by an
enjoyable Christmas party down at the Estuary
Parklands where everyone had a fun afternoon of
games and novelty relays.
The safety of our 240 registered children on the beach
and in the surf was paramount and the introduction by
the club of the high-visibility (fluorescent pink) ‘rashie’
vests during all nipper sessions was very welcomed.
Surprisingly the older boys hardly took them off! Also
greatly appreciated was the increase in Water Safety
numbers on Saturday mornings, especially by the past
nippers who are now part of the Senior Club youth
crew. This was also a big contributing factor to the
success of the Nippers this season.
The JAC and Nippers would like to thank and
acknowledge the past efforts of our previous Junior
committees of Mark Madden, David Lincoln, and Tony
and Marie Kennedy for their assistance and mentoring
throughout the transition into this season. Also thank
you to all the Senior Club Members who were so
supportive of the Juniors at Saturday activities and
especially carnivals throughout the season.
With the guidance of Dan Stewart and Age Managers,
our Nippers successfully achieved their Surf Lifesaving
36
Congratulations to our Nipper Captains of the 2013-14
season as voted by their peers:
 Male:
Alex Wilson
 Female: Jade Gilmore
Well done Alex and Jade!

Competitively this season saw many Palm Beach
Juniors amongst the winners with outstanding results
at all the carnivals and competitions attended. The
strong results were due to the high participation by our
Nippers this season with a team of 45 competing at the
State Junior Championships at North Kirra and similar
numbers attending the Branch Championships.
The all-age nipper carnival at Byron Bay (Far North
Coast NSW Branch) in December attracted a large team
that enjoyed a great weekend away.
In addition we competed strongly in the Gold Coast City
Titles, Branch Little Dudes, State Endurance events and
Gold Coast Board Riding Championships where the
Palmy team won the Teams Trophy. Thank you goes to
Gus Wilson for the Board riding Trophies he handmade
for all that competed.
Many of our Nippers achieved top 10 placings and the
team looked great in their Palm Beach gear and were
very well behaved. It was a real group effort in very
trying conditions, especially with the Carnival being
placed on hold on the Saturday and eventually moving
to Currumbin Creek for Sunday finals. This is such a
great achievement and you should all be very proud of
yourselves!

The Palm Beach Junior State Team was honoured this
season at a State Dinner held at the Club thanks to the
Supporters Club. The dinner saw the return of two
former Nipper Captains Karla Gilbert and Tim
Delahunty who delivered inspiring speeches and
presented the competitors with their Club uniforms.
The dinner obviously inspired the team when
competing a few days later with five medals won and
the club placing 16th in the Overall Club Points Score
and 3rd for the Handicap Club Points Score.

Vale Harry Edwards
21 October 1935 - December 2013
The funeral of a great Club Man, a Life Member and
past Office Bearer including Club President- one Harry
Edwards, aged 78- was held on Thursday, December 12
in the Chapel of Gregson and Weight, Caloundra.
We remember Harry, his wife Marcia and their family
for the significant contribution the family made to Palm
Beach Queensland SLSC over an extended number of
years.
Harry originally retired to Palm Beach but later moved
to Caloundra. A great man, always positive and an
unfussable but efficient leader. Harry and Marcia also
have 7 grandchildren who will miss their "Poppa" very
much.
Harry loved his swimming and it is believed he passed
away while involved in a swim session. His spirit is
probably still somewhere in the vicinity of the old
Clubhouse verandah, watching and waiting for that
special wave.
R.I.P. Harry Edwards
Vale Arthur Sweeney
Your Club sadly informs you of the death of our past
member Arthur Sweeney following a battle against the
ravages of cancer.
Arthur died in the comforting presence of his mother
and family members at around 6pm on Thursday June
5th. Arthur served as a member for many years from
the early 60’s when he first joined as a junior with his
schoolmates Russel Gilmour and Peter Pownall.
30 June 1948 - 5 June 2014
His enthusiasm for ski paddling led to many
competition distinctions, including the honour of
partnering our legend paddler George Marshall on the
double.
Those who knew Arthur will remember him as a great
and reliable lifesaver willing to take risks to help others,
a bit of a scallywag who kept the place alive, a fiercely
proud Palm Beach member who always remembered
us.
"Meat Head" as he was fondly nicknamed has probably
scrounged a paddle from St. Peter and is off to find
George for a final triumphant paddle through the blue
ocean sky and the white-capped cloud.
A group of newer and older members of Palm Beach
SLSC joined family and those others paying respect and
tribute to Arthur at his funeral service held at Carbrook.

Supporters Club President’s Report
I
am pleased to report the Supporters Club has
continued its strong trading pattern, and has again
completed a successful year. The sales have
continued to climb with a very healthy 5.1%
increase over the previous year. This is a very solid
result given the economic conditions throughout the
year and a credit to the management and staff of the
Supporters Club.
All areas of the club contributed to the overall result
with bar trade showing a 3.6% increase in sales, Bistro
returned an outstanding 11.6% increase and Gaming
finished at 3.5% above last year.
The trading year also saw a significant increase in the
Supporters Club assets. These have shown an increase
from $354361 to $553,530 representing an
improvement in our position of a very healthy 36%.
A great big thank you to the staff and management of
the Supporters Club for their efforts throughout the
Darrel Henry
year. The results are a reflection of their hard work and
talents, and represent a significant achievement in the
current economic climate. The patrons and members
have enjoyed consistent standards in food quality and
service. High standards have given the club an
advantage over our competitors, and have increased
our membership base throughout the year. We have
also recently introduced a new staff uniform that has
been well received by both staff and members.
There have been recent changes to our management
team as we welcome our new General Manager, Ian
Wills. Ian brings a wealth of experience in club
management and we look forward to his contribution
to our club in the coming years. Ian's expertise will be a
strength for the club as we move forward with our
redevelopment.
The great news is the Supporters Club will undergo a
significant renovation that will ensure the club is a main
destination for meals and entertainment in our local
community and beyond. This redevelopment is due to
commence this month and will be completed early
November. Renovations include new bar, new dining
areas, new amenities, new reception area and an
upgraded external facade. We will be posting
information on our website soon and will keep the
members informed throughout the rebuild.
The building committee has been working for nearly
two years to bring it all together and I would like to
thank Cameron Delahunty and Scott Rawlings for their
outstanding contribution. It has been a significant task
and would not have been possible without their
guidance and expertise. I would also like to recognize
the work Gary Fraser did to plan, engage and manage
the financial aspects of the development. His
contribution has greatly assisted the club to minimize
our costs and place us in a strong position.
Finally I would to thank the Supporters Club board Tony
Rapallo, Geoff Bagnall, Cameron Delahunty, Troy Kling,
David Lincoln and Scott Rawlings for their great
contributions throughout the year. They have worked
tirelessly to ensure the Supporters Club are in a strong
position to be able to assist the Surf Club over the year.
Members can look forward to an exciting twelve
months with the redevelopment commencing this
month, and I can't wait to see the new look club!

General Manager’s Report
B
eing my first report to Members, I must say
how impressed I have been with the
professionalism and enthusiasm displayed
by Staff and Committee alike. My sincere
thanks go to the Committee, Staff and Members for
their warm welcome to this great Club. Given my
appointment to the position was at the very end of the
financial year, President Darrel is in a better position
than I to discuss 2013/14 in detail. I will say however,
that the financial performance of the Supporters Club
in recent years has laid a solid foundation for the next
phase of the Club’s development and I am excited to be
able to take part. I’m sure that Members are also
looking forward to the upcoming redevelopment of the
Clubhouse and I have no doubt that there are great
times ahead. The Club will be ‘business as usual’ at all
times during construction and I encourage Members to
continue supporting the Club during the building
phases and beyond.
Ian Wills
In particular:
 Gross revenue increased by 5.1%,
 Total liabilities remained consistent with 2012/13,
 Bar sales and Gaming revenue increased by a modest
3.2% and 4.2% respectively, and
 Cash on hand increased to $592,683 from $317,837
last year. These funds will be of great assistance to
necessary Clubhouse improvements while no doubt
also providing valuable support to the Club’s primary
purpose of supporting surf lifesaving.
Mention must be made of the entire Supporters Club
team for ‘stepping up’ early in 2014 as a result of senior
and operational management changes. The Club is
very fortunate to have the services of dedicated people
and special thanks must go to our Administration
Manager Jenny Arnot and Duty Managers Lisa, Sue and
Paul for their efforts in sometimes difficult
circumstances. I look forward to working with you all.
The Club’s success can be attributed to a combination
of sound trading and careful management of costs.
While income from bar and gaming trading areas were
generally consistent with the previous year, special
mention must be made of the Club’s catering. Head
Chef Wade, Steve and their team have worked hard
during the year and the results are there to see. Gross
income from catering increased by just over 10%, with
net profit up by an impressive 27% as a result of
fantastic meals and management of costs. Well done!
I also look forward to working closely with all sections
of the combined Palm Beach Surf Club and Supporters
Club towards achieving our common goals. I have been
involved with the club industry for many years now (I
have the grey hair to prove it!) and it is a pleasure to
see such a positive atmosphere around a Club. I’m
certain that the current redevelopment phase will be
the start of very good times and I encourage all
Members to take an active interest in their Club as well
as encouraging others to join in.
Overall, the good results achieved in the previous year
were generally maintained during 2013/14.
See you at the Club!
