Executive Position Name Email President Mick Cummins [email protected] Vice Pres – Lifesaving Services Duncan Stirling [email protected] Vice Pres - Finance Marc Clavin [email protected] Vice Pres – Junior Programs Brett Irvine [email protected] Secretary Jane Wright [email protected] Treasurers Marc Clavin/ Jo Plehn [email protected] Committee Position Name Email Membership Officer Josie Hunting [email protected] Club Captain Hayden Owens [email protected] Property Manager Chris Baker [email protected] Chief Instructor Daniel Bradshaw [email protected] Committee/First Aid Ro Moore [email protected] Committee/IRB Gerry Lute [email protected] Committee Shane Fox [email protected] Committee/Social activities Prue Stone [email protected] Bayswim Director Paul Gaynor [email protected] Sorrento SLSC 18th Annual report (2015-16) www.sorrentoslsc.com Page 3 President’s report It is with pleasure that I present the 2015-16 Sorrento Surf Lifesaving Club Annual Report. This year has again been highly successful and enjoyable across all aspects of the Club. Our club exists to deliver the following services and outcomes: • • • a safe and well supervised beach where the risks of harm are minimised by proficient and vigilant patrollers the development of surf awareness and skills in young people through the Nippers Program opportunities for people of all ages to develop their lifesaving skills and develop strong social connections in a welcoming and supportive environment. In 2015/-16 all of these services have been delivered in a highly competent and community focused way and we should all be proud of the contribution our Club makes to the social fabric of the southern Peninsula community and the services we provide to people from all over greater Melbourne. Sorrento isn’t the biggest surf club in Victoria, we don’t have the highest profile in LSV, and we certainly don’t market ourselves as eagerly as some others. However, what we do have is a strong, family based Club that provides a great experience for peninsula locals and our Melbourne based members. The performance of our patrollers has been outstanding with good numbers on most days and a significant number of rescues, preventative actions and the delivery of first aid. Our key objective is to ensure no lives lost between the flags and this has been delivered by our patrollers for the 18 years that the Club has served the community. Thank you to all of our patrolling members, particularly our Club Captain, Hayden Owens and all the Patrol Captains. Our Nipper Program has been through a year of consolidation after 3 years of rapid growth and some of the stresses and strains that comes along with that growth. Brett Irvine and the Nipper parent group have once again delivered an excellent program and the feedback I consistently receive is that the kids really enjoy the program and develop great surf awareness skills. Well done to all of the Age Managers, water safety and other parents who put in many hours to make the program run as smoothly as it does. The financial positon of the club is secure with our self-generated funds sufficient to meet all of the operating costs of delivering Club services. Through prudent financial management over a number of years we have been able to replace the ATV, renovate the Clubhouse and provide sufficient equipment whilst maintaining a strong financial position. Our Membership Officer, Josie Hunting has once again done an enormous job managing the membership process and ensuring all the paperwork is done and fees paid. Josie is stepping down this year and I would like to personally thank her for her hard work and tenacity. The renovation of the Clubhouse during the year has been really well received by members and the work put in by Chris Baker, Brett Irvine and Craig Plehn has been outstanding and well above and beyond what we should expect from volunteers. This is my last year as President and I would like to thank all members and particularly my fellow committee members for the support I have received over the last 2 years.

It was great to see so many younger members donning their patrol caps and representing the club and protecting the community. Proudly, again in the 2015-16 season, we kept all patrons at Sorrento Back Beach safe. The season could not have functioned without the assistance of Patrol Captains and Vice Captains; I would like to personally thank each captain for their help through the year. Captain/Vice Captain Hayden Owens/Tim Curwood Howard Draper/Bruce Grayling Tom Morrison/ Gerry Lute, John Baker Felicity Draper/ Lachlan Owens, Abby Stirling Duncan Stirling/ Jack Jones Furthermore, the hard work of Gerry Lute, Andy Nettlefold and Duncan Stirling ensured all IRBs and rescue equipment were in working order to be used at any time. I would also again like to thank Ro Moore, for her hard work in keeping the First Aid room immaculate throughout the season. A special mention to Jack Jones and Ben Stringer who completed 200+ and 100+ patrol hours respectively. 2016-17 is shaping up to be a big season, and we are looking for any members who are willing to take a leadership role and improve their lifesaving skills to step forward and assist in the progression of the Lifesaving Club. Finally, a big thank you to all who patrolled throughout the season. We did our jobs admirably and for that, we can be proud. I look forward to seeing all of you on Requal Day later this year before we hit the surf for another great summer down at Sorrento! See you on the beach, Hayden Owens Club Captain, Sorrento SLSC Sorrento SLSC 18th Annual report (2015-16) www.sorrentoslsc.com Page 10 Life Saving Services report It is with pleasure I present an overview of the Life Saving Services for the 2015-16 season. The Sorrento SLSC went into the season with five patrols that did: • 18 rescues • 1 missing person search • • • 45 first aids 631 preventative actions And a massive 3097 volunteer patrol hours We had 81 active members contribute to our patrols this season. This number is an increase in Patrol numbers from last season. This is a pleasing increase in numbers. With the success of the nipper cadet and also the YIPs program we are holding some of our younger members. Our Rescue Equipment was in outstanding condition at the start of the season, thanks to IRB Captain Gerry Lute and Gear steward Andy Nettlefold. A big thank you must also go to Chris Baker who has redesigned the Gear store keeping all the boards off the ground. The First Aid room was again kept in tip top shape by Ro Moore. Also the use of the ‘top depot’ to store rescue equipment helped in keeping the equipment safe. The coming season will see a few changes in the way we handle some first aid cases. These will be addressed at the Requal session later this year. In the mean time you may visit LSV website and view the changes on circular 011:07:16 The new radio network is still in the works with a definite changeover date not yet determined. Again I must thank Hayden Owens, Club Captain, for his tireless work around the club and also to my fellow Patrol Captains for ensuring we had no default patrols this season See you in the surf Duncan Stirling Vice President – Life Saving Services, Sorrento SLSC Sorrento SLSC 18th Annual report (2015-16) www.sorrentoslsc.com Page 11 Membership report The Sorrento Surf Life Saving Club member numbers increased over the previous season, with a total of 546 fully registered and financial members for the 2015-16 season as of 31st July 2016.

I extended this to include two new opening doorways. This complicated things because it involved liaising with the powers that be. After much letter writing and pleading with Parks Victoria, Heritage Victoria, and Peninsula Shire Council, permission was finally received late August 2015. A five-month process! Many thanks to Kris Rowe from Parks Vic for his assistance and encouragement. While we were waiting for the go ahead a lot of preparation was undertaken. Some of the tasks were completed in the 2014-15 season and as such were detailed in last year’s report. This included internal painting, removal of some garden beds, moving of water meter, refurb of top office for use by uniform shop, removal of hinged seating, installation of new lights and general tidy up of clubrooms. In late August Ron Caddy supplied (at the right price) and delivered all the building material for the building works. After much discussion external paint colours were selected - thanks to Justine McNamara. In early September the blockwork walls were cut and demolished in preparation for new opening windows and doors. On the 12th September a 6 cubic meter skip was filled with building rubble and old carpet from main room - thanks to Craig, Gerry, Alex, Kathy, Finn and Royston. By the end of October door openings had been trimmed, infills rendered and external doors installed. On 4th November Stacking glass upvc windows and the internal roller door were installed - organised by Gerry. The same week Craig coordinated the installation of vinyl flooring in kitchen and hallway and the regupol flooring in main room. On the 7th November aggregate concrete was laid on carpark side of building and under large sliding doors - thanks to Craig. This may seem like a long timetable for two doors but considering it was mainly done with volunteer labour is really impressive. Much thanks to Brett, Craig and Gerry and anyone else who swung a hammer or a paint brush. And then: • • • • • • • • • Main roller door was rejuvenated by grinding off rust and painting many times thanks to Brett and Gerry. This is only a short term fix. If anyone has any contacts in the commercial roller door field please call me. 5 new illuminated EXIT signs installed Craig tracked down 2 * TVS for the right price and installed them on articulated brackets Power points were installed in main room and equipment store All old photographs were digitized and catalogued. A selection of photos from each year of nippers were selected and framed for hanging in main room - thanks to Brett and Sian Swift New plants planted in garden beds and beds mulched. New door signage was installed – thanks to Ro New shower screens and exhaust fans were installed in outside bathrooms. Nipper room was lined and a drying space created for water safety vests - Craig again Sorrento SLSC 18th Annual report (2015-16) www.sorrentoslsc.com Page 13 • • • Resident Tiger snake removed- thanks Victorian Snake Handlers- See Youtube Thanks to Marc for supplying presentation cabinet and updating award boards. Thanks to Dan Bradshaw and his sparky mate for installing external lights. On the 31st March 2016 the DULUX Marketing team arrived and over the next 2 days the outside walls of the clubrooms were painted. As part of the Surf Club Project, Dulux supplies Paint to all Surf Life Saving Clubs in Australia. The marketing team in Victoria pick 2 community projects per year to volunteer to complete. We were fortunate to be chosen. The location and the size of our building made it possible to complete with volunteer labour. Priceless! Special thanks to Tom Williams (DULUX) for co-ordination. Many thanks also to Brett, Zoe, Blair, Mason, Jack Jones and Harry Terry who painted all the high bits. New fire extinguishers were installed at main clubroom, pioneer hut and top depot. Thanks to Tim and Ro for rejuvenating the Vintage Surf Ski Hanging upstairs. Thank you to all those volunteers, even if I didn’t mention you. A final thank you to the club committee for getting behind the ‘Club Refurb Project’. Chris Baker, Building and maintenance, Sorrento SLSC Sorrento SLSC 18th Annual report (2015-16) www.sorrentoslsc.com Page 14 Nippers report 2015-16 was a fun season once again for Sorrento Nippers. 182 nippers and their families combined beautifully to enjoy the challenges set on our fantastically variable Back Beach. We completed 14 Nipper sessions, 12 training seesions, 3 carnivals and many social activities. Our rugged rocks returned after a Spring storm removed much of the sand covering them. Combined with many low tides during sessions, the scene was set for torrid conditions with severe penalties for those mismanaging their entries and exits. The boards bore the brunt of this with piles of ‘dinged’ up boards littered around the clubhouse each week. Thanks to our repair teams for keeping enough of them going and isolating off the best boards to be available at carnival times. The regular nipper season ran from late November to mid-February, with competition trainers continuing to midMarch. We competed very well at Mt Martha in our local carnival. This was followed up by strong qualification results at the Pt Leo Regional Qualifier. The State Carnival at Warnambool saw a huge number of top 16 (final) finishes in most age groups although out-competing the big clubs for podium finishes only occurred on 5 occasions. The age managers kept the momentum of the age groups up all season and must be commended for their attention to safety whilst keeping things fun. Thanks Jodie, Tim & Jemimah, Shane & Nikki, Leon & Mason, Blair & John, Debbie and of course Justine for taking care of our nippers. I believe we once again achieved our core objective of mental and physical personal improvement for each and every child, something we can all be very proud of. The age managers’ technical assistants were another key to the success of the groups providing technical educational along with confidence building and simple comfort to their charges. These former nippers show their future leadership skills consistently and with a care for the nippers second to none. Water safety numbers were again huge and much appreciated by the age managers and the nipper co-ordinator. Our young bronzies in particular showed great skill and anticipation in the water whilst the ‘older heads’ provided knowledge, encouragement and coordination between the water and land based volunteers. Josie Hunting’s work in the registration side of the club was again outstanding and she will be sorely missed now that her sons have outgrown nippers. She has tightened up all financial aspects of registration making it far fairer for all. The amount of time given to the club for her background work to the program has been enormous. Thank you to Gina Fothergill completing her first season at the helm of competitions very successfully. Dealing with LSV can be challenging, especially for new-comers but she forged a path through this for the betterment of our comp nippers. Sorrento SLSC 18th Annual report (2015-16) www.sorrentoslsc.com Page 15 Dan Mooney wrote much of the weekly program and co-ordinated the water safety group in conjunction with Des and Ange Smith. Great job again trying to move so many nippers in and out through those rocks and the public. They were ably supported by the usual strong characters namely Shane, Greg, Chris, Leighton, Maesson, Elise, Michael & David. The nipper training work of Blair Johnstone, whose affinity and passion for kids’ sport is clearly evident, was enthusiastically enjoyed by our core group of nippers too. We thank Elissa Wright taking over from Marla Kosman in co-ordinating our nipper first aid. She is only 13 but has vast experience in how our nipper program operates. Thanks to Marla for her co-ordinating role and the many, many sessions she alone carried the first aid banner for us all. The first aid volunteers give those of us running nippers the confidence to keep pushing the nippers’ boundaries and make large mental and physical skill gains where possible. Discerning real injury from those just requiring a little extra confidence helps keep everyone in the water longer. John & Anna Pease along with Gavin Houghton supplied coffee and hot chocolate on those cold windy mornings. Together the BBQ (thanks Craig Plehn) and coffee vendors raised over $3500 for the club and must be congratulated for their outstanding efforts. Nicki Caddy continued on from last season carrying the work load of the uniform shop, much appreciated Nicki! The new shop location seemed to work well along with the time frames to access articles. Thanks to everyone for adjusting to suit the online system. This seasons SRC group was huge with 27 graduates. The format of 5 days straight before Christmas seems to suit most families along with the club’s requirements. The diversity of talent in the group was remarkable with the result being many club members ready to step up into so many club roles in the future. The social side of this group was also very strong and we hope to see these faces around the club for many years to come. It would also be great if more of our nipper parents could become part of the patrolling group on a regular basis to swell the numbers further. Flowing on from that we require more Bronzies (parents and former nippers) to step up into qualified Trainer and Assessor roles as well as IRB drivers and crews. Courses are run by our club and LSV for these roles. The 2016-17 season will be my last working in the nipper group. We have a new contingent of nipper committee members to help run the program along with the evergreen Dan Mooney, Elissa Wright, Gina Fothergill, Nicki Caddy and myself. Thanks to Chris Biermann, Janice O’Connor, Laura Jennings and Leighton Richardson for rolling up their sleeves to help next season. Endurance in swimming, running and boarding was a stronger focus for nippers this season, especially for those in the training group. This continued on from our swimming focus of last season. We encourage all families to check the requirements for next season now via the nipper handbook and ensure the nippers receive the relevant training to be ready for challenges in 2016-17; at least two swim sessions per week in term 4 please. Several pre-season runs would be invaluable too. Boards can be borrowed pre-season to start preparing the body for the rigours of the surf. Sorrento SLSC 18th Annual report (2015-16) www.sorrentoslsc.com Page 16 Enrolments for next season should start in September or early October. We are at our absolute limit for nipper numbers, restricted heavily by the small size and rockiness of the Back Beach. Numbers will be capped again at 35 per age group next season and incumbents will be asked to enrol in a preferential early timeslot or risk losing their nipper spot to the many eager families on the waiting list. Information will be forthcoming in September regarding this. The Sorrento SLSC will continue working to meet all the challenges of Surf Life Saving from patrolling to education, from nippers to competitions. We hope all members enjoyed the Club facilities after the refurbishment and used them to further their family fun over the season. Next season the Sorrento Nipper Program promises to be packed with challenging moments, fun activities and lifelong skill development for all of our wonderful little champs, the nippers themselves. I wish you all a successful 2016 and hope we meet up again very soon with all our friends from far and wide on Sunday November 27th for a swim (S Badge day) in our little piece of paradise. Brett Irvine Nipper Co-ordinator, Sorrento SLSC Competition report Our senior competition team in 2015/16 was rather small to say the least with only 2 competitors flying the Sorrento colours on a regular basis over summer. Sean Cummins started the year with a bang winning a silver medal (2.5 Km swim) and bronze medal (6 Km ski paddle) at the Victorian Endurance Championships. He continued on with strong performances through the Summer Surf Series and a number of top 10 results at the State Championships including a 6th place in the Ski paddle. John Baker ran well in the 2 Km beach run throughout the Summer Surf Series and finished 6th at the State Championships. Hopefully we will see a stronger presence at senior competitions next year with a competitive group of Under 15s coming through the ranks. Sorrento SLSC 18th Annual report (2015-16) www.sorrentoslsc.com Page 17 Social activities report We kicked off the 2016 season with a Pizza Night Bonanza in January! The newly renovated clubhouse was jam packed with almost 200 members attending the night. Nippers were running mad and adults kicked back and enjoyed the never-ending pizza delivery and gourmet salads provided by Stringers and IGA Sorrento. We had plenty of giveaways of SSLSC gear and a lot of fun was had by all. Our next function was the hot and steamy Hawaiian Night. Out came the hula skirts and Hawaiian shirts and the warm balmy night was perfect for most with an evening dip or paddle. I hear it was a sight to be seen watching the next generation out in the water surfing under the sunset. The kiddies were high as kites from the slushy machine and I hear there was not much left in the bar either for the parents! A special thanks must go to my husband Paul for taking the lead while I was away and his many helpers on the bbq. Also, many thanks to Paul from Mubble for providing the delicious ice creams which I hear were a huge hit as always. This year's Presentation Night is running in conjunction with our 'Season Opener' at the Rye Hotel on Sat 24th September. We would love to see you all there to meet new members to our club and also celebrate a wonderful year of life-saving and surf competition. Info will go out soon with all the details. Bring on next summer for another great year at the beach! Prue Stone Social club Coordinator, SSLSC Sorrento SLSC 18th Annual report (2015-16) www.sorrentoslsc.com Page 18 Bayswim report The 2016 Bay Swim was held on the 17th January 2016. The day saw 595 swimmers undertake the three events; with several swimmers entering in multiple swim distances. The 4,000m course gained in popularity this year and was again made up of two legs of the 2km swim. The competitors were started at the finish line and swam against the tide for 2km’s, then turned around a series of buoys (to ensure the returning swimmers did not clash with the outgoing swimmers) and back to the start / finish line. The weather this year was much nicer than it was last year, the day was warm and pleasant for all. We believe that a combination of the weather and the fact that our swim was the day after the Portsea swim combined to make this one of our most successful to date. A number of swimmers chose to enter both events, making each event even better. Bag packing was completed in good time on the Friday prior to the event, a number of our junior and some of our senior members helping out on the night. Bags were then stored until Sunday morning when they were delivered to the registration tent at 7.00am ready for the tent opening at 8.00am. Setup was completed early on Sunday morning and went smoothly. The team, led by Brett Irvine, did a fantastic job of getting everything ready for an 8am opening of the registration tent, prior to a 9am competitor briefing of the 4km swimmers. Jane Wright again led the registration volunteers to assist all competitors collect their gear before their race. It was a scramble from 8am until final close-off at 11.00am due to higher than anticipated entries and the whole team did a superb job. Brett’s leadership at the starting line was again superb and he liaised perfectly with the timing people to ensure a very efficient timekeeping and competitor tracking process. The collection of the timing bands and race winners was well managed although unfortunately a number did fall off in the water – some of which were retrieved days later as they washed up on shore! Marc Clavin (again) did a great job managing the presentation process, awarding both the Tommy Haffey memorial medals as well as those for all the other races, The site clean-up was managed by Brett and a group of volunteers and was very smooth and quickly completed. A huge thanks goes to all the people who got the beach ready to go and then left it cleaner than when we arrived. Well done and many thanks. Additional thanks must go to George Patterson who was involved for over 12 months with getting the date set, then providing the leadership in postponing the first event. Jane Wright managed all the volunteer roles and organised the packing of the show bags which went very smoothly. Brett Irvine took on multiple roles from beach set up, clean up and race starter. Sorrento SLSC 18th Annual report (2015-16) www.sorrentoslsc.com Page 19 Marc Clavin controlled the day and the communications very well from the tower and helped keep the competitors informed and up to date on the conduct of the day. Gerry Lute managed the water safety element smoothly and very effectively yet again. Thanks also to Paul Gaynor for overseeing the event. All the safety personnel performed exceptionally well under Gerry’s guidance. He also managed the preparation of our own IRBs and the borrowing and return of additional IRBs from the other surf clubs. Ro Moore was exceedingly helpful in getting the fruit prior to the event and getting it ready on the day. She was also active in the registration tent and at the finish line. Anna Tait was magnificent in her running of the BBQ. providing egg and bacon rolls as well as cold drinks for the hungry hordes on the day. Thanks go to both ladies. Thanks must also go to our photographer on the day, Adrian Wilson, who travelled from Melbourne that morning just to take photos (he’s not even a member but was keen to help out!). Finally, thanks to all the volunteers who helped out on the day, without you the race would not have been the success it was, or even possible, and the support from Gina Harris and the Cousins Swim Series must also be acknowledged. The feedback from the competitors was very positive and the team received a lot of compliments, and the conduct of the day received very positive comments. We look forward to welcoming Prue Stone as our new Swim Director for the 2017 swim and eagerly await what we hope will be an even bigger and better event.

Daniel Bradshaw bravely undertook the position however; despite a terrific commitment he was unable overcome personal health issues. On behalf of the Committee & all the Members we’d like to thank Daniel for amazing commitment. Our thoughts are with Daniel and his family at this difficult time. Trainers All Award courses begin with a structured training program and with the fantastic assistance of Hayden Owens, Jack Jones and Daniel Bradshaw, Sorrento was able to provide a range of programs for our Members again this Season. Both the basic Surf Rescue Certificate and Bronze Awards were good sized classes and the specialty Basic Beach Management (Silver Medallion) Award was very popular. Next Season, with the assistance of more Trainers, we may hopefully provide more Specialty Awards for our Members. Assessors We are fortunate to have a good number of Assessors at Sorrento, which allows us to have ultimate flexibility when it comes to Assessment Day. Also, our Annual Re-Qual (Skills Assessment) Day in Nov 2015, was as busy as ever and included a number of candidates from other Clubs taking advantage of Sorrento’s Programs. Many thanks again to our regular Assessors Stefan Bagg, Howard Draper, Duncan Stirling, Marc Clavin & Daniel Bradshaw who ensured all the Candidates participating in Sorrento’s 2015/16 Training Programs, were able to achieve proficiency in their Awards.
