2014 - 2015 : A season to remember
STEVE WARREN, POSSIBLY NORTH CRONULLA CLUB’S
GREATEST COMPETITOR AND MULTIPLE AUSTRALIAN
BOARD CHAMPION.
HARRY BROWN, THE DOYEN
OF CLUB ADMINISTRATORS
North Cronulla Celebrates 90 years
The first patrol was on duty in December 1925 and consisted
of a small team of volunteers armed with a reel, line and belt
as their only rescue equipment, and they performed over 25
rescues in their first season of patrols.
The early part of World War 11 saw the Army undertake
a number of defensive constructions around Bate Bay,
including old tram rails supporting barbed wire and tank
traps built into the sand in front of the stepped walls and the
North Cronulla clubhouse.
On the eve of the 90th anniversary of North Cronulla Surf Life
Saving Club – and 50 years of club Nippers – and with the
flags having come down on another surf season, there’s a
new appreciation of our lifesaving warriors.
But North Cronulla SLSC – which finished 11th and highestplaced of the four clubs at last week’s national championships
– could easily have faded from existence after World War II
except for the determination of those early club members.
Talking this week to the esteemed North Cronulla club
patron and decorated life member, Warren Rennie, gave us
an even stronger appreciation of surf lifesaving, both past
and present.
Early years
“The number of family members who have joined their fathers
and mothers, sons and daughters, sisters and brothers, in
learning lifesaving techniques has been amazing,” said the
veteran Rennie, one of the stalwarts of surf lifesaving.
“And we keep hearing about them: non patrol members,
saving lives, well away from the beach.”
Much to be proud of
North Cronulla – indeed all four Bate Bay surf clubs – have
much to be proud of. In keeping the beaches safe, saving
lives, preventing tragedy and, collectively, passing on the
latest lifesaving techniques to so many others.
Today’s large heritage-listed, three-storey clubhouse under
president Craig McKinniery plays host to 832 senior club
members, both active patrol and non-active members, as
well as 501 Nippers.
CLUB PATRON – WARREN RENNIE
Army constructions
By Brad Forrest
Not that I didn’t already appreciate. But it dawned on us that
the true value of these clubs lie not just with their own fine
capabilities within, but what influence club and members
alike have brought to bear on ordinary families.
STEVE SWANE – NATIONAL CHAMPION
AND GREAT CLUB BOAT SWEEP
First patrol
The first North Cronulla clubhouse, a small weatherboard
job, was erected in 1926 to the north of Cronulla SLSC
(Wanda and Elouera didn’t exist then).

JIM PERYMAN- TRAGICALLY
DROWNED WHILE SAVING A LIFE.
The early years and the Depression saw reasonably quiet
seasons. But more members joined in the late 1930’s and
saw pressure for a new and bigger three-storey club, which
was finally erected in 1937, followed by shark meshing and
“1,000 feet of sea wall.”
As detailed in the 50-year anniversary book “A shade of
blue…a touch of gold”, membership grew and within a
year, the club organised their first carnival on January 15,
1938 under the guidance of a driving force in Jack Dillon,
who with other members slept overnight in the club before
erecting stands near the clubhouse.
Spectacular
It must rank as the most spectacular opening club carnivals
in history, but for an entirely different reason.
An aerial display from pilot Harold Durant went horribly
wrong. His small aerobatic light aircraft made a number of
dives and loops around Bate Bay, but he aborted a final
manoeuvre, stalled the plane and crashed into the shallow
waters near the beach.
Lifesavers saw Durant step from the wreck, apparently
uninjured (he was later seen drowning his sorrows at the old
Hotel Sur Mer, Cronulla’s first hotel). Members salvaged parts
of the plane, and later charged a modest 2/- per person to
view them in the boat shed.
It proved to be the club’s undoing.
By October 1942, seas and erosion had resulted in
23-metres of the wall collapsing.
Worse was to come three years later when the clubhouse
was directly threatened when tons of sand disappeared
and the concrete paving in front of the club washed away,
resulting in the club hanging over a sheer drop …
Collapse under big seas
A new sea wall was built, but a year later (1946) it started to
collapse under big seas, resulting in widening cracks in the
clubhouse itself.
News of the club’s obvious demise spread far and wide, and
attracted 18,000 cars to North Cronulla from the city and
suburbs, before the club kiosk and pavilion collapsed and
plummeted the building into the surf below.
The remainder of the club was demolished and the council
erected an Armco hut as a temporary replacement in
Dunningham Park. It was around the same time members,
including returned servicemen, marched north up the beach
to form a new club – Wanda SLSC.
It took three years before the new multi-storey North Cronulla
club was built and opened in front of a big crowd, on
November 18, 1950.
Tragic death
Warren Rennie reminds that it was the tragic death of their
popular club captain Major James (Jim) Peryman in the
same year (1950) which really galvanised the club’s focus
on surf lifesaving.

himself in the big seas. His body was found under water,
his line and belt entangled in seaweed – and all attempts to
resuscitate failed.
“After his death they created a safety release pin, so a
beltman could, at any time, pull the pin to release himself,”
explained Rennie. “Unfortunately his brother died 10 years
later, on the same day, in a motor accident.”
Remembered
Jim Peryman’s death saw a fund of 2,000 pounds raised,
with an ambulance room and a radio communications room
furnished and decorated in his memory. His picture adorns
the club’s stairway, and the club’s pool carries his name – the
James Peryman memorial pool.
The same year, 1968, North Cronulla staged its first
Australian Surf Lifesaving Championships on a beach
nearby, which was later to become Elouera beach. In 1974
the first-ever Taplin Relay was won by North Cronulla (they
also won the second) and two years later, the club won the
Australian Championships Pointscore.
In 1981, the same year women were eligible to become
active lifesavers across the movement, North Cronulla club
won its first world championships (and won it again in 1994).
Great administrators
Great administrators, officials and clubmen like former
president Harry Brown, Harold Judd, Jim Peryman,
Warren Rennie and Norm Rees were complimented by
champion competitors like Hall of Fame board paddler
Steve Warren and surfboat sweep, Steve Swane, and
their respective teams.
Now, the club’s competition division is on the up and the
club is thriving under the capable hands of men and women
including club president Craig McKinniery and his wife
Tracey, the club secretary and their strong committee.
“From a very small and humble start, we developed into one
of the best surf clubs in Australia,” said Mr McKinniery.
Peryman, wearing a belt, played a major role in the rescue
of a 16-year-old girl in The Alley, but not before he perished

90 years Anniversary Celebrations
North Cronulla Surf Club: Nippers 50th Anniversary & 90th Anniversary
One Great Club – Two Great Events
Hundreds of Great Friends
The mighty Blue and Gold this season celebrated two huge
milestones in fantastic style.
AN EARLY CLUB LADIES COMMITTEE
The Nippers kicked off as the World’s first Nipper club marked
its 50th anniversary with marathon afternoon of fun and
friendship. Abandoning the usual formula of blazers and round
tables the Nippers created an event that freed up guests to
mingle with old friends in glorious afternoon sunshine, to listen
to as few or as many speeches as they liked and to kick on into
the night with great tunes.
Nippers Chair Donna Hargreaves and her organising
committee, Julie Mckinnery, Scott Young, Carmel Lewis, Maurie
Tattl, Kevin Macnamara and Steven Brown worked tirelessly
and keynote speakers Steve Warren, Jamie Primmer and Ray
Wilkinson captured the spirit of the day perfectly.

CLUB CAPTAINS JOIN FOR CLUB SONG AT 90TH CELEBRATIONS
14,000 rescues
“And we can proudly announce that our membership over
90 years has performed over 14,000 rescues and saved
countless lives.
50 years of Nippers
The 90th is a celebration and recognition for all of our
members from our founding members who had the vision
and forethought to address safety concerns at North
Cronulla beach for our community back in the early 1920’s.”
Pause and reflect
“It is also a time to pause and reflect on the memories of our
mates and friends who have passed away over the 90 year
journey.
And finally, celebrate the achievements the members who
volunteer their time today and have achieved great things
in Surf Life Saving and Patrols, Training and Education,
Competition, Finance and Administration and support of the
community.”
Long term plans
In the wind are long-term plans to upgrade parts of the
ageing building, while maintaining heritage-listed sections.
But first, on Saturday May 2, members and friends of North
Cronulla SLSC come together to celebrate 90 years: to first
honour members who obtained their Bronze Award prior to
1980 followed by a celebration in the Harry Brown Function
Room in honour of all members, sponsors and supporters.

AUSTRALIAN BOARD CHAMPIONS
However, the highlight of the night had to be the reunion of
the club and the world’s first ever nipper squad. No names
mentioned but the guys have photo’s and memories that will
last them for the rest of their lives.
A few month’s later North Cronulla celebrated its 90th
anniversary with an event that borrowed heavily from both the
template set by the Nippers and the team that worked to make
it a success.
Club Patron Warren Rennie and his organising committee –
Linda Hawkins, Kevin Macnamara, Carmel Lewis, Tony Hughes,
Steven Brown and Rebecca Blue – set up an afternoon and
evening where old friends could meet and mingle, get in early or
leave late, partake of as much or as little formality as they could
endure and most importantly share memories and swap stories
in an environment unfettered by restrictive table settings.
Club members, family and friends, joined by NSW Minister for
the environment Mark Speakman and Shire Mayor Kent Johns,
were warmly welcomed by Club President Craig McKinniery
before speakers Steve Warren and Warren Rennie reminded all
present on what it means to live with veins running richly with
Blue And Gold. Finally, formalities concluded, the real find of
the evening stepped forth – North Cronulla’s very own Siren,
Kirsten Boggis – a vocal revelation!
Club members owe both organising committee’s a massive
debt of thanks for setting up these two sensational celebrations,
and for creating a perfect template to be followed in 10 years
time when the club celebrates its next two milestones – the
Diamond Anniversary of North Cronulla Nippers and the BIG
ONE – the Centenary of North Cronulla Surf Life Saving Club.
Giddy Up!!!

The Mateship Trek 2015
The Mateship Trek was founded in 2008 by the Labor Member for
Blaxland, Jason Clare and the Liberal Member for Cook, Scott
Morrison. The Treks are designed to unite young Australians from
different backgrounds to
JOEL EATON MATESHIP TREK RECEPTION
100 Years of Lifesavers Service
to the Armed Forces
“Part of the pre-condition of being a lifesaver is a series
of sense of community and serving others so it is not
surprising that those who start out in the surf lifesaving
movement should be represented in higher numbers
among soldiery.
In war time we celebrate mateship; for me there’s a higher
calling and you see it in surf lifesaving where you actually
save people you’ve never met, you risk your life for people
you’ve never met. I think that’s a wonderfully admirable thing.
I’m interested in commemorating, not celebrating, the
sacrifice made by Australian’s in war time. Australia is made
up of a rich mosaic of different communities and as we mark
the centenary period of Anzac, it is terrific that separate
communities remember their own who fell, while all of
Australia remembers all that fell.”
Extract acknowledgement Author Peter Fitzsimons from
Fallen Lifesavers Book.
History of Surf Life Saving
In 1902 it was against the law to enter the ocean during
daylight hours in Australia. William Gocher, a Sydney
newspaper editor, announced a challenge of this law at
Manly Beach and, eventually, the legislation was changed.
However, as inexperienced swimmers were having problems
with unusual surf conditions such as rip currents, the number
of drownings dramatically increased. Groups of volunteers
began to patrol the beach to assist the swimmers and in
1906 the Bondi Beach Association was formed.
The Surf Bathing Association of New South wales was later
formed on 18th October 1907 when nine voluntary surf
lifesaving clubs and representatives of the Royal Life Saving
Society (RLSS) met and affiliated to represent the interests
of surf lifesavers. At that meeting it was resolved: “That it
is desirable to form an association of surf clubs, to secure
improved facilities for surf bathing, and otherwise promote
and regulate the sport” and “That the association be called
The Surf Bathing Association of NSW.”

JOEL EATON MATESHIP TREK REPRESENTATIVE
• honour the sacrifices of our diggers and carry forward those
stories;
• invest in realizing their potential to live a life worthy of our diggers’
sacrifice;
MAJOR BLAIR ANDERSON WARK
• celebrate their differences and what they have in common; and
• raise funds to support our modern day diggers.
The name was changed to Surf Lifesaving Association of
Australia (SLSAA) in 1922. In 1991 this name changed to the
current Surf Life Saving Australia.
• 1915 – Appointed to Australian Imperial Force.
Historically, the Australian lifesaver is portrayed as a national
symbol and an image of manhood. For more than 80
years, there was a viewpoint that women did not belong on
beaches, instead being supportive fundraisers and social
organisers. Almost immediately, many women refused to
be confined to these roles; they participated in their own
competitions, were proficient in rescue techniques and were
proud to belong to the movement, contradicting the widely
shared beliefs that their active involvement began only in
1980 when they were officially granted full membership.
• 1918 – Earned the Victoria Cross for
extraordinary bravery during
opeartions against the Hindenburg
Line.
Major Wark passed away suddenly aged 46 of
coronary heart disease.
The third Mateship Trek, between Wau and Salamaua, followed the
Black Cat Track, in Northern Papua New Guinea. The 2015 Mateship
Trek retraced the steps of the Gallipoli soldiers and remembered
them at a joint Australian/Turkish memorial service on Australia Day.
In the year of the Centenary of Anzac, the Mateship Trek was very
proud to be supporting Soldier On.
The enlistment of many club members into the armed forces
during the First World War heightened the status of the surf
lifesaver as an Australian icon.

June 2015.
North Cronulla’s representative on the 2015 Mateship Trek was Joel
Eaton.
Unfortunately some clubs suffered heavy casualties.
The Honour Boards in Club rooms around the country
commemorate those who lost their lives at war.
The presence of surf lifesavers in the Australian armed forces
was also felt in World War 2 which not only diminished their
presence on Australian beaches, but made surf lifesaving on
overseas beaches part of the war experience for many. Surf
lifesavers patrolled beaches in war zones, set up new clubs
in places like Torokina Beach in the Solomon Islands, Jaffa,
Syria, and Papua New Guinea and Cornwall. World War 2
also saw the training of hundreds of American soldiers in
Australian surf lifesaving methods on Queensland’s beaches.

North Cronulla’s Service
The Harry Brown Room contains an Honour Board
acknowledging our own ex-service members from 1939
onward.
One North Cronulla Member worth acknowledging is
Blair Anderson Wark (1894-1941), Victoria Cross and
Distinguished Service Order. Vice President of North Cronulla
SLSC as recorded in the 1939-40 Annual Report.
• 1916 – Embarked to Egypt and then to the
Western Front.
• 1941 – Returned to active service during
World War 2 at Victoria’s Puckapunyal
Army Base.
The first Trek to Kokoda in 2009 brought together surf life savers from
the Shire and young people of ethnic Lebanese Muslim background,
following the conflict that occurred in Southern Sydney in 2005.
The second Trek in 2011, retraced the Sandakan Death March to
Ranau, where Australia suffered its worst ever military atrocity.

AUSSIES 100 YEARS CELEBRATION
James Peryman
Memorial Pool
ALEX RAMPOLDI
PERYMAN AWARD TROPHY
Celebrating 100 Years of Surf Sports
In 2015 the movement celebrated a significant milestone –
the centenary of the founding of Surf Sport competition.
• Sydney Branch last hosted the NSW Championships
during the 2006/07 season.
In 1915 the first NSW Surf Life Saving Championships
was held at Bondi Beach. This was the event that was
a forerunner of the Australian Championships. Just two
events were given championship status in the inaugural
year with Bondi taking out the Senior R&R event and J.G
Brown, also from Bondi, taking winning the Open Surf
Race. In 2015 400 separate events and 7000 competitors
battled out at the NSW Championships.
The Aussies is the largest event of its kind in the world. Not
only is it an elite sporting event, but it is also a celebration of
Australia’s culture and passion for surf lifesaving.
To win a state title, which were known as the Association
Championships during the 1920’s and 30’s, was to be by
default, the National Champion. Interstate competitors
entered the NSW Championships, recognising it was the
best place to develop their skills as lifesavers and athletes.
The event was seen as a great way to round-off the season,
and was held every year apart from a brief hiatus during the
First and Second World Wars.
Due to a desire for the movement to take on a more
national focus it became essential for the State
Championships to be run as a separate event. In March
1950 the NSW Championships were contested in North
Wollongong, the first major event to be held outside the
Sydney Metropolitan area.
• Since 1950 NSW Championship hosting duties have
been shared around the clubs. The sheer scale of the
event today means that not all beaches are suitable to
host the championships.
• The first 2-day NSW Championships took place during
the 1964/65 season at Coogee.

PETER MOYLE
• In the late 90’s the NSW Junior Championships were
incorporated into the main State Titles.
• The Australian Titles were started as a way of Surf
Lifesavers to train and compete in skills that would
enable them in a rescue situation.
• In the early days of competition The Aussies were solely
held around the Sydney area. In the post-World War 2
years the carnival finally moved interstate with its first
out of NSW competition being held in the Gold Coast
in 1947. This was an enormous opportunity for SLS
members and was significant to the development and
modernisation of the sport.
• In 1937 until 1979 The Aussies hosted a Pillow Fight
Event.
• The only time the Aussies haven’t been held since 1915
was between 1941 and 1945 when the Second World
War was occurring.
• 1975 was the first time IRB’s were used in an Australian
Championships to set out buoys. Legend has it that the
buoys were first taken out to sea in a surf boat but were
dropped a bit too far so Harry Brown assisted in the
movement of the cans without hesitation.
• 1982 at the 75th Anniversary dinner Steve Warren was
recognised as one of the most successful Australian
Championship competitors ever along with Ken Lacey
and Ken Vidler.
• In the mid-80’s women’s events were formally added to
the NSW Championships.
• Prior to three women’s events being added to The
Aussies carnival women used to compete with the men
in the Surf Ski, Ironman, Boat Races and IRB Races.
• In 1982/83 the competition was extended to a threeday format.

The club has a wonderful asset for the
members in the form of a heated 25 meter pool
that is named the “James Peryman Memorial
Pool”. The pool was the vision and ambition of
Harry Brown OAM back in the late 1960’s and
was officially opened on Sunday 7th April 1968
by Club President H.J. Brown and Sutherland
Shire President Mr A.T. Gietzelt.
The pool was recently painted and repaired
under the guidance of John Leard and his band
of helpers over a period of April and May this
year and is back in top condition and looks
fantastic. This task is really a labor of love and a
thankless task for John but is greatly appreciated
by the Club Executive, members of the club and
wider community who use the pool.
The pool is extensively used by many members
and community groups including club
members of all ages, local council lifeguards,
Cronulla RSL, Marine Rescue, NC Swim
squads, local school children for learn to swim
and several council programs for water safety
and working with children with a disability
and is another example of what makes North
Cronulla SLSC a great club.

Patron’s Foreword
I AM MOST PRIVILEGED TO WRITE THIS FORWARD FOR
THE 90TH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE NORTH CRONULLA
SURF LIFE SAVING CLUB FOR THE SEASON 2014-15.
We have provided outstanding service for 90 years to the public
who have recreated on North Cronulla Beach.
I salute the pioneers of our great club who had the courage,
foresight, dedication and determination to establish
the club we have today, as well to the leaders and members
who, throughout the ten decades that followed, diligently
brought us to where we are today, to be one of the most
progressive Surf Life Saving clubs in Australia.
Our club members have saved over 13,000 lives and sadly,
whilst we cannot claim no lives were lost whilst on patrol duty,
we have displayed great dedication in protecting the public and
I thank the many Patrol Captains and patrolling members for
their dedicated efforts.
A number of our members have showed great bravery in saving
lives over the 90 years and have been awarded appropriately
for their courage. We must always remember and recognise
Major James Peryman, who as Club Captain lost his life in 1950
whilst successfully rescuing a 16 year girl in treacherous seas
off our beach. This great man displayed to the highest level our
motto “Vigilance and Service”
I recognise the many trainers who over the years have trained
our members to achieve the lifesaving awards so necessary to
enable us to accomplish this tremendous lifesaving record.
In Competition, the North Cronulla Surf Life Saving Club has
achieved many milestones in it’s 90 year history.
• In 1974 our club won the first Taplin Relay Championship of
Australia
• In 1976 we were the first club to win the Australian Surf Life
Saving Championship Point score
• In 1981 we were the first club to win the World Inter-Club
Championship Point score in Bali.
I congratulate the many members who have competed for the
mighty Blue and Gold. We have gained many Australian, NSW
and Sydney Gold Medals. Our members have represented their
country and New South Wales, North Cronulla has a proud
record in competition.
Our club is to be acknowledged for venturing out to support
the community away from the beach. We were the first to build
a swimming pool on our premises for the public to use as well
as our members and in 1975 our club was the first and only
club to teach the community resuscitation. We taught 600
parents due to the fear of backyard pool drownings that were
increasing.
This year our club celebrated another milestone in our history
in recognising 50 years of excellent involvement of our Youth
Development Group. We recognise the many men and women
18
who have steered
this group who have
supplied a multitude
of members who have
become Lifesavers,
competitors, leaders
WARREN RENNIE
and Life member
of our club. The
involvement of our Nippers has contributed to the continued
success of the Club.
I thank the women of North Cronulla. Whether they are
lifesavers, administrators, served on the ladies committee,
mothers and wives who have supported their men, we would
not have accomplished our outstanding 90 year record without
you.
On May 2nd this year our club celebrated our 90th Birthday.
325 members old and current joined in the festivities conducted
in the clubhouse. The day was filled with reunions, formalities
and entertainment, a memorable day.
This, 90th season, has been an outstanding one. Our members
have excelled in in all facets of club activity.
Whether it be Lifesaving, Education, Competition and
Administration our club has performed so well.
There has been “No Lives Lost” this season whilst Patrols
were on duty, this statement is so important to our club and
I congratulate all our Patrol Captains and Lifesavers for an
outstanding effort.
outstanding service to lifesaving. Both these members have
given standout performances for our club this season.
We have been so fortunate to be supported by the three tiers of
Government with important financial support for the Clubhouse
renovations and our big step in developing the Kiosk area. To
Scott Morrison, Mark Speakman and the Ward A councillors of
the Sutherland Shire Council we thank them for their important
support to our future.
Financially we are in a healthy condition, and we are well placed
to meet the challenges we may face looking towards the
future. We thank all our Sponsors for their support and to those
members who organise the fund raising activities
I wish to congratulate Ron Hammond for his excellent
contribution to the design and compilation of our Annual
Reports for 30 years. Ron has retired and our club is most
appreciative and thank him for his dedicated effort over this
long period of time.
WARREN RENNIE WITH AUSTRALIAN R&R MEDAL WINNERS
Now after 90 years of service we look towards our centenary.
We are well placed to make this journey one of the most
exciting in our glorious history. The development of the Kiosk
area will be a fantastic achievement. We now have before
the Board a draft Constitution designed to guide us into the
future and with the fantastic spirit that exists amongst the
membership, a positive future is assured.
I commend this Annual Report to the membership.
Warren A. Rennie, AM
Patron
WARREN RENNIE WITH DAUGHTERS SIMONE AND MONIQUE
Wherever you examine our activities, the leadership of all our
departments has been excellent. From the Board of Directors
through to our officers, all these members have carried out their
work in an excellent manner.
Our Junior Development group again has been outstanding.
To the Committee, Age Group Managers and the Water Safety
team congratulations on an outstanding year.
Competition has continued to develop and I congratulate the
club on winning the Interclub point score and in particular
the 12 aside relay. It has been many years since we won
this prestigious event at the Inter-club. To finish 11th at the
Australian Championships is fantastic and I congratulate our
competitors for their outstanding effort. There is incredible spirit
in our club and I recognise the Coaches and section leaders for
their outstanding effort.
A number of our members have been recognised with SLSS
Awards and I congratulate them for their achievement, and
I recognise Peter Moyle on being awarded the CN Rees
Memorial Trophy for being our outstanding member and Alan
Freeman for being awarded the Mario Peryman Trophy for

President’s Report
IT IS WITH GREAT PLEASURE ON BEHALF OF THE MEMBERS AND
IN OUR 90TH SEASON AS A VOLUNTEER SURF LIFESAVING CLUB
THAT I CAN REPORT “NO LIVES LOST” AT NORTH CRONULLA
BEACH DURING THE 2014 TO 2015 PATROL SEASON.
commitment within the surf club and reinforce their value as
respected members and citizens within the local community.
The program has been approved by our Board of Directors and
will be launched for next season.
CRAIG MCKINNIERY
I extend a very personal “Thank You” to every Club member
who performed their rostered patrols from our Patrol and
Vice Patrol Captains, IRB drivers and crew to all of our patrol
members who volunteered their time to keep the surfing public
safe at North Cronulla beach this season.
This season was a very big year for North Cronulla SLSC
across all aspects of club life and our key functional areas and
we are building and gaining momentum each season.
Some of the highlights and milestones included:
• Our Nippers celebrated 50 years of providing lifesaving,
training and education, competition and life skills to
thousands of young children who progress through our
Nipper racks;
• Harry Brown Room – Stage 1 upgrade and refurbishment
completed
• 90th Anniversary Celebration of North Cronulla SLSC –
Founded in 1925 and still going strong;
• Draft and modern constitution before the Board of Directors
for review and adoption;
• Project Phoenix – Special General Meeting held and
approval granted to proceed with development application
process for the redevelopment of the gear complex and
club;
• North Cronulla Christmas Carnival now in 35th season,
Winner of inaugural Steve Warren Cup;
• North Cronulla SLSC Iron Person Classic held on Australia
Day now in 25th season;
• Interclub Champions – Welcome back Bill Marshall Trophy;
• Announcement of NC Youth Engagement Program (YEP) for
season 2015-2016.
Our current Club Management Plan (CMP) 2012 – 2015 is
in the final year of operation and we continue to develop
and expand our capabilities across the 5 key functions of
Surf Life Saving & Patrols, Training & Education, Surf Sports
(Competition), Administration & Finance and Community.
The CMP will be extended for another season and then be
reviewed with the aim to incorporate changes required to
manage and grow our Club over the following four years up to
and including the 2020 season.
Our members are our greatest asset and at our recent Blue &
Gold Gala Presentation night at Gymea Tradies we celebrated
the achievements of the season across all aspects of club life
and honoured our members who gained awards, won medals
and were outstanding in their training and education and
lifesaving duties.

IRB LAUNCH
The following members won the Club’s most prestigious
awards:
C.N Rees Memorial Trophy (Most Outstanding Club
Member of the Year) – Peter Moyle
Mario Peryman Memorial Trophy (Lifesaver of the year) –
Alan Freeman
Tom Payne Memorial Grant (Outstanding contribution to
the Club) – Lachlan Moyle and Kira Hood
Congratulations to our major award winners and they were
richly deserved.
Our “Nippers” members are the future life savers and leaders of
North Cronulla Surf Life Saving Club and under the leadership
of Donna Hargreaves and the Junior Activities Committee they
are in very capable hands. The Nipper section works across
all areas of our CMP and each weekend the Squad Leaders
work on a structured program to develop self-esteem, team
work, water and surf safety skills and learn lifesaving and
competition skills. Our results at surf carnivals, number of
training and education awards gained, very high quality of our
Nipper members including this year’s Nipper Club Captains,
all combine to confirm this section is working well and our
challenge is to ensure we continue the level of engagement via
a structured program when they move into the senior section
of the Club.
I am very excited that our Youth Development Director Monika
di Maio has developed and is launching a North Cronulla Youth
Engagement Program to help with the transition of our Nippers
into the senior section of the Club. There are several aims of
the program and these include engagement with our younger
members and explain the pathways open to them within the
surf lifesaving movement, improve the retention rate of our
members aged 13 to 18 years of age, encourage continuous
develop of our young members, promote participation and
To our Junior and Senior carnival officials and water safety
personal, thank you for your support and dedication to your
respective duties and events throughout the season. You are
a very vital and critical area of our surf club operations and
we need to develop and increase our number of officials each
season
Congratulations to Linda Hawkins and Martin Fulton on a
wonderful achievement of 10 years 100% Patrol Attendance
and Darren Thorne on 20 years of outstanding volunteer
lifesaving service to North Cronulla SLSC.
Training & Education
Our Training and Education team was under the leadership
and guidance of Jason Gallon our Director of Training and
Education (CTO) and achieved the following:
• 55 Surf Rescue Certificates – Our future lifesavers
Life Saving & Patrols
• 32 Bronze Medallions
Gavan Duffy, our Life Saving Director, Club Captain Jamie
Primer, Club Vice Captain Kane Hughes and the Lifesaving
team introduced some refreshing changes to Patrol structures
and rosters with the aim to build Patrol Teams with sense and
purpose to improve the ability of the patrols to meet the day
to day challenges of providing volunteer life-saving patrols and
beach management at North Cronulla SSLC.
• 2 Gold Medallions
The members of North Cronulla Surf Life Saving Club recorded
the following activities during patrol season:
• Performed over 14,000 Volunteer patrols hours across 12
rostered patrols;
• Recorded 91 Rescues;
• Involved in over 3000 Preventative Actions;
• 132 First Aid cases;
The number of recorded Rescues is higher than the 3 year
average due to a large number of rescues performed over the
Australia Day weekend. Preventative Actions are up on the 3
year average and this was due to improved patrol and beach
management skills.
This season we had 13 members who performed more than
100 hours of volunteer patrol duties and two outstanding Club
members – Steve Cardy and Allan Freeman achieved over
150 hours of patrol on our beach. Overall this highlights the
dedication of our members to their core duty which is surf
lifesaving and performing patrols.
One of the highest awards in Surf Lifesaving is the Gold Medallion
and this season we have two extra members who gained that
award – Congratulations Alex Budd and Kelly Primmer
The seasons efforts were recognised at the annual SLS
Sydney Awards of Excellence with members of North Cronulla
members awarded the following:
• 5 Silver Medallion Beach Management
• 29 IRB Crew Certificates
• 9 Silver Medallion IRB Driver
• 7 Advanced Resuscitation Certificates
• 5 Spinal Management
• New qualified training officers & Assessors across the award
structure.
This gave us a total of 544 awards including our Nipper Surf
Education Awards and that was a slight increase on the
previous season.
This effort was rewarded at the annual SLS Sydney
Awards of Excellence, Jason Gallon recognised with a High
Commendation for Assesor of the Year.
Another highlight was our club members branching out into
other SLSA programs.
• Emily Maythers SLS Sydney Female Junior Life Saver of the
Year;
• Emily Maythers attended the Junior Life Saver of the Year
Development camp;
• Jarrod Tranter represented the club at SLSNSW Youth
Opportunity Makers (YOM) Development Camp;
• Danielle Herman selected for the SLSNSW Development

These are great examples of our Club members expanding

poor and after the first event held at North Cronulla beach,
a decision was made to transfer the event down to Cronulla
beach for safety reasons. Appreciation and thanks extended to
Cronulla SLSC and members for your support on the day.

This section of the Club is vital to the success of all other areas
of the club operation and is once again successfully managed
by Tracey McKinniery our Club Secretary and Ben Smollett who
is the Finance Director.
Most of the work is in the background and is completed
without any fanfare or publicity but they have to produce
reports, manage financial accounts, deliver on the objectives
of the club management plan, arrange sponsors events and
Blue & Gold Gala presentation night, deliver our annual report
and audited financial statements, manage our governance and
statutory financial responsibilities, generate meeting agendas
and minutes, attend Executive and Board of Director meetings
on a regular cycle and the smooth delivery of these tasks is
critical to overall performance of the Club.
Project Phoenix has moved several steps further along the
development application process. We held a Special General
meeting in November 2014 with the membership voting
to proceed based on the motions voted for. The Club has
presented the Master Concept Plans and overall development
concept to a Sutherland Shire Council meeting and as an
outcome of that meeting a Working Party was formed between
the club and Council. A Pre DA meeting has been held and
then we will move to a meeting with an architect panel to
review concept plans. The Council is currently considering
a combined approach for the construction work planned
for precinct with a proposed new North Cronulla Sea Wall,
upgrade works to Dunningham Park and North Cronulla SLSC
redevelopment amalgamated into a single Plan of Management
and this will be debated at a future Council meeting. Our next
step and direction will be dependent upon the outcomes and
resolutions of that important council meeting.
Harry Brown Room Stage 1 refurbishment was completed
this season and the room is fully operational and held many
functions including our very successful Nipper 50th Celebrations
in October 2014 and our 90th Anniversary Celebrations over
the first weekend of May 2015. The second stage of the project
is under review with Sutherland Shire Council and plan to
complete this year subject to addressing any planning issues
with council. Once again we extend our gratitude and thanks
to NSW Premier, NSW Government, Department of Sport and
Recreation and SLS NSW for this grant under the 2013-2014
Surf Club Facility Development Grant Program.
To our Sponsors once again thank you for your continued
support and it is greatly appreciated. The ability to successfully
provide services and equipment for competition, training and
education, lifesaving and patrol duties is a key responsibility of
the Club and is achievable with your generous support each
season. We have several very long term sponsors who have
once again committed to the Club and these include Carlton
United Breweries, The Caringbah, Coca Cola Amatil, Toll
Express, Caltex and Tradies. New major sponsors this year
included Channel Nine News and Canterbury Leagues and we
welcome them to North Cronulla.
Another important milestone this year was the successful effort
to increase the funds for the Tom Payne Memorial Grant. The aim
is to reach $100,000 to make the fund perpetual in nature and
Brian Salisbury of Austbrokers SPT is the driving force to reach
that goal. The following insurance organisations contributed
to the latest rounds of donations: Allianz Australia Insurance,
Austbrokers Holdings, Austbrokers SPT, Zurich Financial Services
Australia, CGU Insurance and Vero – AAI Limited.
One very important aspect of Club life is the social side of the
Club. Our Ladies Committee with Julie Howell and her team
provide meals and behind the scenes support for a large
number of events and carnivals held at the Club this season.
The quality and presentation of the food was of the highest
quality and is always appreciated by surf sports officials who
work at our annual Christmas Surf Carnival. To Brook Fleming
and David Waugh, the North Cronulla Golf Day “Lifesavers
Cup” was another great success based on your support and
effort on running the day and is a must attend event on our
social calendar. Steven Brown as our Social Organiser once
again provided another year of great social events and these
were enjoyed by all who attended and are an important part of
the fabric of North Cronulla Surf Life Saving Club
Karon McGrath our Media Liaison Officer is retiring and I would
like to thank her for high degree of professionalism and expert
engagement of this important aspect of Club communication
and media management over the last few seasons.
Community
By the very nature of the surf club we support our community
by providing volunteer lifesaving patrols each season at North
Cronulla beach. We are very proud of this tradition, a tradition
that has been followed each season for the past 90 seasons.
Our core responsibility is Life Saving and Patrols and we
supported the local community with over 14,000 hours of
volunteer patrols duty during the season and help education,
train and keep proficient over 800 members during the season.
The IMB Cook Community Classic was held again at Cronulla
beach and was proudly supported by our surf club and Nipper
section and delivers a local community event that helps us
appreciate, support and value the local Shire community.
Another aspect of our Community support is our council
lifeguards use our heated 25 meter swimming pool and Club
facilities year round to provide surf awareness programs
to local school children, provide learn to swim and water
awareness programs to children with disabilities.
Thank you again to the Sutherland Shire Council and our Ward
A Councillors for their continued support during the season
and additional support at our surf carnivals and maintenance
of the surf club building and facilities. The existing surf club
building requires a programmed maintenance schedule to keep
on top of the building issues and repairs and this is work in
progress with the council.
Our local member for Cronulla the Hon. Mark Speakman, SC
MP and Federal Member for Cook the Hon. Scott Morrison
MP are very strong supporters of surf lifesaving and fully
understand what benefits we deliver to our local community.
We thank them for their ongoing and continued support of
North Cronulla Surf Life Saving Club.
CRAIG MCKINNIERY WITH MEMBERS JOEL EATON AND KANE
HUGHES AND SCOTT MORRISON AT THE ANZAC SERVICE
Our members should be very proud of effort and results
delivered by our Club Executive consisting of Tracey, Ben,
Geoff, Jamie and Monika. These members continue to show
complete dedication to your Club, their positions and roles and
constantly deliver on our plan and direction for each season.
To the Board of Directors and other standing committees in the
Club, congratulations on your season and continued support
of the ideals of surf lifesaving and upholding the mission
statement and objectives of our Club.
As I stated on many occasions, our members can be extremely
proud our achievements across all areas of Club operations
this year because it once again reinforces that we are one of
the top 10 surf lifesaving clubs in Australia and the best in Bate
Bay area.
Well done everybody, thank you for your vigilance and service,
dedication to your patrol duties and ongoing support of your
Club and see you on the beach in season 2015-2106.
Yours in surf life saving

Deputy President’s Report
WOW, A BUSY YEAR. A TRUE “ONE CAP ONE
CLUB” EFFORT. PATROLS, EDUCATION, TRAINING,
CARNIVALS, NIPPERS, MANAGEMENT & THE
MANY MANY FUNCTIONS. THAT IS WHAT NORTH
CRONULLA SLSC IS ABOUT, MANY PEOPLE ALL
DOING THEIR BIT TO MAKE AS THE ENVY OF THE
OTHER CLUBS IN THE MOVEMENT.
We do it without the huge budgets, but
we still gain the results & respect because
our members are true club members,
loving what they do & who they do it with,
their mates.
AS FINANCE DIRECTOR AND ON
BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
I AM PROUD TO PRESENT THE 2015
AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
we are blessed with both the children
that have joined the club, but also the
wonderful parents that we have also
gained. Plenty of people eager to help,
be involved & enjoy what our great club
has to offer. Really pleased to see the
many “past” members returning with their
children.
This season we had the Nippers 50th &
the Club’s 90th Birthday Celebrations.
Excellent turnouts at both functions, with
many members travelling from interstate
to be part of it, once a member always
one. Great opportunity for everyone to
catch up with old mates & reminisce.
Again, our Education/Training section,
lead by Jason, has been busy up-skilling
our members, plenty of awards achieved
at North Cronulla, thus flowing into our
Patrols on the beach. The quality of
our clubs patrols are second to none,
strong Patrols means a strong club. The
Lifesaving section has been well managed
by Gavin & crew. Well done to all our
members, again keeping the public & our
own safe.
The highlight for me this season,
was the after Aussies function, 250
members entertained by the “Famous
Zimmermans”, no other club would have
had the turnout we did, let alone the
sensational entertainment, we are spoilt.
The future is looking great for North
Cronulla. Having been involved the last
two seasons with the Under 6 nippers,
The mighty Blue & Gold was again, well
represented this season at all major
carnivals. The hard work of many is
paying off. All colours of medals across
all sections, special mention to both the
Beach & Boat sections “great efforts, the
future is looking good”.
Exciting times for the Club are near, with
the development of the “gear shed”
getting closer. Craig, our President, works
tirelessly on this project, we all need to
support him when required. It will benefit
all of us & will be a great asset for the
whole community. Personally I can’t wait.
Lastly, a special thank you to the whole
Board on a “job well done”, Strong
management is crucial in the running of
a successful organization, I am proud to
have been a part of it. Special mention
to Tracey our Secretary & Jamie our
Club Captain, both who have brought a
professionalism to their roles, which the
club & its members have all benefited.
Looking forward to next season, see you on the beach.

The financial
statements show
a profit of $78,827
for the year (2014
$41,506).
This excellent result
reflects the hard
work of all members
of the club though
consideration should
be given to the timing
difference of the
BEN SMOLLETT
proceeds from the
government grant of
$49,736 included in
full as income in the 2015 financial year however the funds
were spent on capital improvement for the upgrade of the
ball room. These costs will be depreciated over the life of
the asset.
Cash generated from operating activities during this
financial year of $178,942 (2014 $121,571) was invested
in capital equipment for lifesaving, clubhouse assets and
competition to value of $81,728, resulting in an increase in
cash held of $99,259.
Further I would like to note that the club also holds
and invests funds in trust on behalf of the Tom Payne
Foundation which at the end of the financial year valued
$88,454.
Our strong financial position allows our club to pursue
development opportunities including the proposed gear
shed redevelopment. We will need to continue to control
operational spending as the club will incur significant costs
preparing for and investing in appropriate due diligence on
the gear shed development project.
Thank you again to the office administration team of
Sheridan, Glenn-Marie and Melissa who have once again
been a great help throughout the season.
I believe the board and I have again provided a financially
responsible set of financial statements for the year ended
30 April 2015 and I look forward to contributing to a
positive and successful 2016 year.

Acknowledgements
North Cronulla SLSC is proud to acknowledge our Sponsors’
contribution – both financially and materially. Without sponsorship our
task of providing viable Life Saving Service to the Community would be
difficult. The funding provided by the new Sponsors and our existing
Sponsors enables the Club to support Members by mitigating running
and building costs – as well as providing Surfcraft, Boats, IRB motors,
competition and training wear. So when you get a chance please,
support our sponsors. The club was active in applying for Grants again
this year in a very competitive field with good success. Thanks go to
our generous Members and supporters of the Club who have made
cash and in kind donations throughout the year to support the Club,
Carnivals and Sections – as listed in the report.

Secretary’s Report
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, I PRESENT FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION
AND ADOPTION THE 90TH ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF NORTH
CRONULLA SURF LIFE SAVING CLUB FOR THE SEASON 2014-2015. THE 90TH
ANNUAL REPORT HAS INTRODUCED A NEW FORMAT WHICH WILL NOW BEGIN A
NEW DECADE AND ERA IN NORTH CRONULLA’S FUTURE.
TRACEY MCKINNIERY WITH AUSTRALIAN
CRICKET CAPTAIN MICAHEL CLARKE
“A Season to Celebrate and Remember”
Over the course of the past season we celebrated our 90th
Anniversary, 50 years of Nippers, 100 Years of Surf Sports and
100 Years of Service to the Armed Forces. These moments
were celebrated with Anniversary functions, The Bate Bay Ball,
Formal Services and Surf Carnivals. We have continued our
service to the community with 14 000 hours of patrols and “no
lives lost”. Welcomed new lifesavers with 55 SRC certificates
and 32 Bronze Medallions. Congratulated 3 new Australian
Champions with another 5 members achieving another
Australian Championship. The Bill Marshall Interclub Trophy
returned to North Cronulla with amazing success 4 out of 5
Interclub shields and for the first time in an estimated 30 years
North Cronulla were successful in the 12 aside relay.
All of these moments and events together with many others
are referenced throughout the Annual Report. These were
moments of not only celebrations but moments in which
we were able to reflect on our history, the history of Surf
Lifesaving and our place as a part of the culture of Australian
Society. Surf Lifesaving as an institution offers many avenues
and opportunities to many different people of different ages,
abilities, experiences and backgrounds. It is rare that an
organisation provides so many opportunities, especially a
volunteer organisation. The diverse range of opportunities
and as such the many different roles and the volunteer hours
members donate to Surf Lifesaving deserves recognition and
acknowledgement.
26
On the beach we have a fantastic team of Lifesavers who give
many of hours of service to patrols and water safety. To prepare
these members for the responsibilities we have a dedicated
Education Team who give many hours towards training usually
on week nights after work. We have motivated competitors
who benefit from volunteer coaches, section leaders, surf
sport officials and a competition team. “Off the beach” the
time devoted to administration tasks and finance cannot be
forgotten. Members also freely donate their skills and services
towards fundraising, catering, social events, bar service,
repairing, fixing packing and transporting club gear, equipment
and upgrading club facilities. Last but not least we have a Junior
Activities Team who are preparing and supporting our junior
members – our future lifesavers and leaders.
In 90 years at North Cronulla there have obviously been so
many members who have donated so much in so many areas
to make North Cronulla the club we are today. The role of the
Secretary allows for communication and interaction across the
entire club and the organisation as a whole. In any one month
well over 100 official pieces of correspondence can be received
and sent in all core areas. Whilst the position continues to
incredible demanding and somewhat unrealistic for a volunteer
with full time work commitments, the positive of the position and
the administrative demands is that it offers the opportunity to be
able to work with inspirational people and hear and share their
great stories and benefit from their work ethic. These members
are happy to serve and ready to volunteer their time.
Whilst it always difficult to single out individuals it is important
as Secretary that recognition is given in this 90th year to Life
Member Ron Hammond. For just under 40 years Ron has
graciously produced our Annual Report. The Annual Report
is the main source of historical information in the club and the
importance of this document cannot be overstated. Working
with the Club Secretary, Ron has taken the report from a small
half booklet style publication into the document members
have grown to recognise for many years. Ron’s knowledge of
the club, knowledge of the Secretary’s position as a former
Secretary himself, and his desire to capture and preserve our
history has been invaluable. One short paragraph really cannot
justify the significance of the contribution Ron Hammond has
made in this area. The best way to recognise Ron’s work
would be to take the time and look over previous Annual
Reports and not only appreciate the work that has gone into
these documents but also appreciate and value the history that
is North Cronulla SLSC.
The 2014-2015 season brings to end the current 3 year
strategic plan. Whilst at times progress can seem slow it
cannot be forgotten that most club ‘volunteers’ work in fulltime
paid employment away from the club. So it is worth celebrating
some major achievements – especially in the administration
area - in relation to the strategic plan from the past 3 years.
knowledge – this team needs more members. Our competition
team continue to face the challenge of retaining our talent
together with balancing the huge financial commitment that
needs to be made in order compete with competition entry
fees, travel, equipment and training costs. All Bate Bay Clubs
will also farewell this year Sutherland Shire Council General
Manager John Rayner – a great supporter of Surf Lifesaving.
As Secretary I wish all club volunteers all the best with the
challenges that will be faced in the immediate and long term
future. As a club we have tried to promote a team and family
approach. Over the past 3 years as Secretary it is the “team
and family” that North Cronulla provides that helps in meeting
the demands of the position. To the Board of Directors,
fellow Bate Bay Clubs, Combined District Council, Sydney
Branch and SLSNSW my thanks for listening and providing
the support and guidance as required. Finally thanks to my
very supportive friends and family, especially my husband as
President who has shared the journey that was season
2014-2015.

Over the next 10 years as North Cronulla SLSC approaches
their 100 year anniversary there will be many challenges for
not just the club but for the organisation as a whole. In the
immediate future our core business of lifesaving faces the
challenge of replacing our experienced senior lifesavers who
are readily approaching 10 years+ of patrols and as such
move onto Active Reserve and Long Service. Our Education
Team is extremely dedicated and give countless amounts of
hours towards training but they are small team with enormous

KANE HUGHES
- We’ve had boaties fixing R&R Reels and
- Welcome to all our new under 14/15 SRC members who
started patrols on our beach this season, very impressed
with the numbers and quality, it gives me great confidence
that our lifesaving ranks will be filled into the future. Special
mention must go to our first year U14 SRC members who
in their first year have no real set hours to perform but more
of an introduction to patrol, we had 44 members perform
an average of 33 hours patrol or more for the season with
some doing up to 50-60 hours; well done to all the squad
leaders and families supporting these kids.
- And what about some of these 2nd and 3rd generation
familiar names starting in the senior section;
> Bofinger > Cameron > Moyle > Fleming > Loomes >
Lewis > Flanagan > Thompson > Whitford > MacNamara
and god help us another Highfield and Young!!!

- Another successful board clinic
- All our achievements were well documented through the

we had over the weekend, table sliding even made a
comeback but came to a fiery end……
- A member called Eaton in Gallipoli – what a great trip
- The “Duffenator” kept an eye on our patrols
- Welcome to Tom and Jason our new beach leaders, with
Damien Bulion I look forward to the future
- And how good did Luke Calo go, stepping up to the plate
filling some big shores in the surfing section
These are all significant achievements, but there are some
critical ones that are less obvious. The patrol members who
complete 100% attendance, the Nipper Squad leaders
and Water Safety who foster our youth every weekend, the
Education and Training team who are instrumental for the
lifesaving training, the Section Leaders and coaches guiding
their respective disciplines, the IRB teams who are in the water
from dawn until hours after the carnival is over, to the officials
and parents who staff these carnivals or run them behind
the scenes, to the Board of Directors and finally but most
importantly Gavan Duffy, Lifesaving Director and the 12 Patrol
Captains and their teams, who fulfil the motto of Vigilance and

by year 12 student and patrol member Addison Lewis. Both
these are significantly enhance the clubs lifesaving operations
as well as nippers and carnivals. The ATV wouldn’t be possible
without the assistance and foresight of the BOD who accepted
my proposal a few seasons ago and supported the concept
both financially and administratively.

Media Coverage
LEADER ARTICLE
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE PROMOTE
THE GOOD WORK AND ACHIEVEMENTS
OF NORTH CRONULLA MEMBERS.
Whether it is competition, lifesaving, education, special social events
or acknowledgement of our sponsors our relationships with the media
is extremely important – especially our local media.
Over the past two season a protocol has been developed in regards to
contact with local media. The club has a Media Liaison Officer, Karon
McGrath, who works closely with members of the club executive and
in turn communicates directly as the sole representative of the club to
promote stories. Members have been encouraged not to contact the
media directly instead they should submit stories for consideration to
the Club Captain; Club Secretary or Deputy President.
• Photos (with names) are great and help tell the story – photos
with North Cronulla branding are even better. Club shirts, hats,
costumes that match and promote club identity and team.
• Facts such as full names with correct spelling, specifics such as
dates and times, event details are a necessity.
“Roll Up Your Sleeves”
• Overview of the background behind the event or achievement to
help tell the story is also helpful.
NATIONAL POOL CHAMPOS ARTICLE
In addition to local media we also have the club website and social
media such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter together with
local online media organisations such as justcronullanews.com as
additional avenues to support our great work.
Bate Bay Surf Clubs Blood Drive initiative.
WITH A PERSONAL MOTIVATION AND
EXPERIENCE OF THE BENEFITS OF
BLOOD DONATION CLUB MEMBER
MATT GRANT AGAIN COORDINATED THE
BLOOD DRIVE COMPETITION BETWEEN
TRADITIONALLY FIERCE COMPETITIVE
RIVALS IN THE SURF THE BATE BAY
SURF CLUBS THIS SEASON.
Finally we always need to be mindful of the privacy and the young
age of some of our members –if you are submitting a story for
consideration that you check with all participants in the story first
before including names and photos.
Our appreciation is extended to The Leader and John Veage and Paul
Haige and Just Cronulla News Brad Forrest and John Mulclair.
THE LEADER – POOL CHAMPS
Thanks to the support from:
• Red Cross and Miranda Blood Bank.
MATT GRANT AND FAMILY
THE LEADER 90TH EDITORIAL
• Local media, social media and the Bate Bay Surf Clubs.
Held over an extended period this year members were
encouraged to donate even more time as a volunteer but in
a different field away from Patrols and donate their blood.
For every blood donation made members were given the
opportunity to add their donation to a club tally from one of the
four Bate Bay Clubs.
Sponsorship coordination from Matt Grant ensured that
clubs promoting their members to donate their blood would
be rewarded with donations from sponsors: Isuzu, Paragon
Plumbing, Cross Fit Cronulla, Worldwide Printing Services,
32
Sutherland Council, Grants Trophies, Cronulla Mechanical
Services & Aromabotanical. All four clubs were informed prior
to the start of the program that they would receive $400 just
for participating with the winning club receiving $1500.
At the conclusion of the program an estimated 100+ lives had
been saved via donations made from members from all four
Bate Bay Clubs.
North Cronulla were again awarded the trophy for the
highest number of donations.

THE SEVENTH COOK COMMUNITY CLASSIC WAS HELD AT CRONULLA BEACH
AND PARK AND AGAIN WAS AN OUTSTANDING SUCCESS.
The Classic is under the patronage of the Federal Member for
Cook, Scott Morrison MP, who is a great supporter of the four
Bate Bay Surf Life Saving Clubs.
The event combines a competitive ‘Nipper’ lifesaver relay
between our local Surf clubs, open 1 and 2 Km public ocean
swims and a community carnival in the surrounding park areas.
The carnival includes entertainment, live music, local celebrities
and community stalls featuring the participating event sponsors
and community organisations.
34
The Classic, a major annual community event, has provided
a great fundraising platform where, since inception, over
$300 000 has been raised for our local Shire community
groups which includes the local Surf Life Saving Clubs, Sports
Clubs, Local Charities, School P & C’s and other Community
Organisations.
The last season has been a bit hit and miss with regards to
the Education and Training section. Whilst we have again
trained and prepared all of our candidates to a high standard,
the number of Bronze Medallion candidates has been low
compared to recent years. This could be one of several
reasons, as we all live busy lives and finding time is a juggling
act we all struggle with.
This season saw the largest number of SRC candidates
presented and saw the season off to a great start. I can easily
say they were probably the best group of kids we have trained
and the level of support offered by helpers and squad leaders
was fantastic. These kids put everything into their training and it
was a great achievement to see them all become lifesavers and
commence patrols on North Cronulla beach.
Our Bronze Medallion numbers were low compared to recent
years however our candidates were still the best presented in
Bate Bay and this is evident by the 100% success we received.
On another high note it was particularly good to see many of
our older and long standing members, kids become the next
generation of lifesavers and competitors and I’m sure the future
will repay this in the years ahead.
Whilst initial Bronze and SRC awards were a mixed bag,
our ARTC, Spinal, IRB crew and Drivers awards gained
over the season were fantastic and this was backed up by
our dedicated team of trainers and helpers to make this a
possibility.
Like every year, the weeks, days, hours and minutes spent
training our candidates has been rewarding not only for the
recipients of the awards but also for that of our dedicated
trainers charged with delivering the highest quality of practical
and theory to all members.
To North Cronulla’s dedicated group of trainers and helpers
who spent many a night and weekend at the club I thank you
for your efforts and help over the season. Whilst we may not
get the recognition that the competition section gets in way of
medals etc, it is your efforts that stand tall as without the time
you all put in, these members would not be able to compete
for our club.
To the Board of Directors of North Cronulla SLSC, I take this
opportunity to thank you for the last season.
On a personal note, to the families of our dedicated trainers
and assessors, who give the club so such much in the way of
personal time, allowing our trainers to do what they love and
are so good at, thanks - Who knows what next season will
bring.

Lifesaving Director’s Report
ANOTHER VERY SUCCESSFUL YEAR ON THE NORTH
CRONULLA BEACH WITH NO LIVES LOST!
FIRST PATROL AS FEATURED IN THE LEADER NEWSPAPER
NORTH CRONULLA SRC ON PATROL
GAVAN DUFFY
The North Cronulla Surf lifesaving patrols are proactive in their
attention to prevention of injury and accident as is one of the main
reason for the continuing success of the patrols at North Cronulla.
This year I would like to make a special thankyou to Beth Fulton
who is retiring from her role as one of our longest serving Patrol
Captains, and on behalf of North Cronulla Surf Club, we thank
her for her outstanding service. Beth’s patrol will be taken over by
Jason Gollan who has a wealth of experience as our training and
Education Director and will now also be a Patrol Captain.
This season we have seen our numbers grow from our junior
cadet members who are enjoying their first seasons as patrolling
members and enjoying making friends and spending their patrol
hours on the beach having a good time with their friends as well
as fulfilling their rostered obligations.
However, we can only go to 14 patrols if we have enough services
that can be provided to sustain 14 individual patrols. Accordingly,
we do need people to do additional courses to fill important roles
in the club and patrol roster. The roles add value to our younger
members skill sets and also look good on the employment
resumes, and this year is no exception, we need people to fill
roles as IRB drivers, Advances Resuscitation and Spinal injury
management for our upcoming 2015 – 2016 season.
We would like to thank the current Patrol Captain / Vice Captain

During the 2014 – 2014 season, we also made changes to the way
the patrols are rostered to a team based system, where a focus
was put on members patrolling with their mates and selection
of services from within the patrols with the aim of increasing our
retention of patrolling members each year. Feedback on these
basic changes was that it was an overwhelming success, but as
always when initiatives are introduced, there are always areas of
improvement that can still be made.

Looking forward to the 2015 – 2016 Patrol Season, we always
seek to improve patrolling conditions for our members, and we
understand that being a patroller at the beach can conflict with
work, family and competition pressure for each person.
For 2015 – 2016 we will look to increase our patrols to 14
patrols to cut down the No. of individual hours each person must
spend on the beach. Also, we will look at implementing a greater
degree of flexibility in patrolling hours within the patrol. Lastly, we
will be trialling a new substitute process which will automatically
update on surfguard which we expect to be trialled in the 2015 –
2016 season.

Competition Report
Head Coach’s Report
THE 2014-2015 SEASON HAS NOW
COME AND GONE AND WHAT A SEASON
IT WAS. NOT ONLY DID WE CELEBRATE
100 YEARS AT AUSSIES, NOT ONLY DID
WE CELEBRATE 90 YEARS OF NORTH
CRONULLA BUT AGAIN THE COMPETITION
SECTION CONTINUED TO GROW AND
STRENGTHEN ITS RANKS.
THIS SEASON ONCE AGAIN IS BEHIND US, AS I
PUT PEN TO PAPER I’M THINKING AHEAD TO THE
COMING SEASON AND HOW WE AS A CLUB CAN
IMPROVE ON OUR COMPETITION STANDARDS.
On the scorecard our season finished up as follows:
•
•
•
•
Australian Titles State Titles
oJuniors
oSeniors
Branch Titles
Interclub 1st 11th
7th
4th
Cancelled this season due to weather
Yes we brought Bill home to where he
belongs…..
I am pleased to report that all sections had growth in their
numbers. This can only be achieved by the dedication of many
people: Section Leaders, Coaches, Officials, Management
Staff, Parents, Water Safety, IRB crews, Patrolling members
and of course our Competitors. To all of you I would like to say
thank you for your efforts this year.
On the representative scene we had several Members selected
for various Teams and Programs including:
NSW IRB Team – Danielle Herman, Kate Janssen & Elissa
Hughes.
NSW IRB Development Team – Mitchell Cardy, Jared Kuckler
& Joel Ryder.
NSW Pool Rescue Development Team New Zealand Tour –
Abbey Pugh & Lachlan Moyle,
PETER MOYLE
grow. Oh and by the way WE WON!!!
Another highlight of the year for me was the Interclub 2015.
The performance by our team was nothing short of
inspirational. To win 4 of the 5 shields and come a close second
on the 5th shows the strength of all our sections. And who can
forget the 12 a side surf race!!!
At both State and Aussies we fielded a strong representative
team. The camaraderie in the team is clearly evident by our
debrief meetings at the end of each day. To all the team you
have represented your club with pride this year and you should
be congratulated for that.
To finish off there are several people that need special mention.
To the Board of Directors thank you for your continued support
of the competition section. In the short time that I have been in
this role there has always been total support in the continued
growth of the section.
To Baz Scheutrumpf – Our Team Manager. Thanks again mate.
You always step up each season and quietly work behind
the scenes to make sure the job gets done. I look forward to
working with you for many years to come….
To Steve Warren – Our Head Coach. Thanks Steve you area a
champion competitor, coach and person. You should be proud
of what you have built in the club.
NSW Talented Athlete Program – Kira Hood, Alex Rampoldi &
Zach Roja
To Bobby Lovell – Thanks mate for your assistance again this
year. When something goes wrong you know where to go, who
to speak to, and how to fix it. Never retire mate…
NSW High Performance Squad – Alex Budd, Abbey Pugh &
Kira Hood
To the Office Staff – Sheridan and Glen Marie, thanks for the
countless hours you put into supporting the section.
NSW High Performance Beach – Matthew Day
To all the Parents and families of competitors – Thank you for
the countless hours you contribute. Whether it is towing trailers,
running fundraising days, officiating, water safety, whatever it
may be thank you.
Sydney Branch Team - Zach Roja Under-13, Leo Nosatti
Under-14,Connor Flanagan Under-14, Alex Rampoldi Under-14,
Ben Highfield Under-15, Kira Hood Under-15, Hailey Blatchford
Under-15, Ethan Garland Under-17, Lachlan Moyle (Captain)
Under-17, Abbey Pugh Under-17 competing in Under 19.
Congratulations on your achievements.
Our Patrolling members – You may not compete but you are a
part of the family. Without your support our success would be
limited. Thanks.
Come December time we saw the 34th annual North Cronulla
Christmas carnival. The introduction of the Steve Warren Cup
allowed for a team competition format. This format proved to
be well accepted by competing teams and will continue to
Finally to our competitors – Over the season we have our highs
and also our lows. You will all experience them, but what makes
you unique is that you are a part of the mighty Blue and Gold
Team. Well done this season and lets look forward to 2015/16.

To all the coaches at North Cronulla I would like to thank you
sincerely, without your efforts, expertise and guidance we would
not be as competitive as we are.
Sometimes I guess thoughts go through your heads as to what
am I doing this for! It’s because you people are the unselfish
band of men and women who give up their precious hours to
contribute to North Cronulla’s future.
Nick Hards: 3rd U15 Surf Australian Youth Championships,
4th Tube Australian Youth Championships. All so close – I
would like to have a look at a replay of the tube touches.
To all the parents, helpers and supporters a huge thank you for
your encouragement and at many times a taxi service to enable
these competitors to attend training sessions and carnivals.
Board Rescue – Alex Budd, Abbey Pugh: 2nd Australian
Championships. A very popular second – congratulations girls.
As we do not have a lot of carnivals during the year it is difficult at
times to select teams, so a great deal of selections are based on
training attendance and attitude at various training sessions.
I would hope this seasons that more competitors attend the
Sydney Water Series as these are a great early season hit out.
It was a shame that the Sydney Branch Championships was
cancelled due to dangerous surf conditions. Duty of care
is the responsibility of Surf Life Saving and also to coaches
throughout the association.
At least on that day all was not lost as we competed on the
famous Yarra Bay and North Cronulla qualified through to
the NSW Championships in the Club relay race which was a
qualifying event through the Branch.
As always I witnessed some outstanding achievements
throughout the season in the water and on the sand.
Ollie Hoare: 1st NSW Open and U19 2K run, 1st Australian
U19 2K run. See you next season in the water as well Oli.
Alex Rampoldi: 1st U14 Beach Flags Australian Youth
Championships, 2nd U14 Beach Sprint Australian Youth
Championships
Kira Hood: 2nd U15 Female Iron Person NSW Championships,
2nd U15 Female Surf Swim NSW Championships, 2nd U15
Female Iron Person Australian Youth Championships, 2nd U15
Female Surf Swim Australian Youth Championships. A very
inspirational effort in the NSW Iron Person – congratulations!
U17 Girls:
U17 Boys:
Surf Race – Ethan Garland, Lachlan Moyle, Keegan Mason,
Lochie Davis. To race and win on one day, then because of a
balls up on the finish line by officials, race again the next day in
different conditions and finish out of a place – that sucks.
Next year boys!
2 teams in Board Relay Finals NSW and Australian
Championships, 2 teams in the Australian Board Rescue Final –
Brandon Finnegan, Chad Moses, Jye Highfield, Lachlan Moyle,
Dane Bofinger, Lochie Davis, Keegan Mason, Ethan Garland.
A great season from you guys – thank you.
U14 and U15 Youth Championships
The U14 and U15 competitors who competed at the NSW
Titles and Australian Youth Championships did North Cronulla
proud as your efforts and contribution to our club was
outstanding. It was a huge two days and an exhausting test for
some competitors. We will take a hard look at this and look at
a solution to control fatigue.
The 4 Way Carnival cannot be forgotten. It was one of North
Cronulla’s finest moments to witness that 12 a side swim relay
was something to remember. Standing next to Patron Warren
Rennie was such a proud moment to see North Cronulla
victorious after so many years, the moment was priceless.
Also winning the Boat, Board & Ski, R & R and Swim shields.
And yes the “Bill Marshall Trophy” is home again at North
Cronulla – Bate Bay Champions.
Open Mens Board Relay - Will Budd, Jake Moses, Rob
Annabel: 3rd NSW Titles. One of the best relay races for North
Cronulla for a long time – congratulations boys.
There are so many outstanding achievements from North
Cronulla members that I could and I would like to mention all of
them but I will congratulate you all when we all catch up.
Nicole Glasson: Finalist U19 and Open Female Ski, 4th NSW
Championships – very unlucky Nik. Finalist U19 Female Ski
Australian Championships. A huge effort.
I also do not want to take away the accolades that you deserve
from your respective section captains and also nipper sections.
Will Budd: 5th Mens Open Board Australian Championships.
You really had a “crack” at that one Will, such a great finish to
an exciting race. It was anyone’s on that final wave – so close.
I would like to thank out Competition Director Peter Moyle who
made our job so much easier with your input and guidance
throughout the season.

Beach Section Report
AN IMPRESSIVE SEASON FOR A SMALL EVOLVING BEACH SECTION WHICH
PRODUCED SOME PLEASING RESULTS AT BRANCH, STATE AND AUSTRALIAN
TITLES. AS NEW BEACH SECTION LEADERS, THE 2014/15 SEASON HAS BEEN BOTH
ENJOYABLE AND CHALLENGING.
backed up to win Gold in Beach Flags at
State and was unlucky to be disqualified
in the Semis at Aussies. In the Beach
Sprints, Connor finished 4th at Branch
then 5th at both State and Aussies.
Connor also combined with Jesse
MacKinnon, Sebastian Plunkett and
Bailey Summerhayes to finish 5th in the
U14 Male Beach Sprint Relay at State.
OLIVER HOARE
The inclusion of the Australian Youth Surf Life Saving
Championships for U/14 and U/15s was embraced well by the
competitors of North Cronulla and turned out to be an amazing
experience for all involved.
We were pleased to see some incredible and encouraging
results on the beach throughout the 2014/15 season.
The participation by competitors of all levels and the positive
teamwork was great to see, with true North Cronulla spirit on
show at many carnivals.
Leading the way once again was Oliver Hoare with Gold in the
U19 2km beach run at Aussies, State and Branch. He also
backed this up at Aussies with an 8th in the Open 2km beach
run and at State winning Gold in the Open 2km beach run.
Matthew Day excelled in the U17s Male Beach Sprints and
Flags by placing 4th in both events at Aussies, while Lachlan
Crawford finished 6th in the U15s 2km Beach Run at State
and 5th at Aussies, whilst also being part of the U14/15 Male
Beach Sprint Relay Team with Curtis Cameron, Jai Vilanti and
Connor Flanagan.
Connor’s season was somewhat of a rollercoaster of highs
and lows. Connor was once again chosen as the sole male
beach competitor for the Sydney Interbranch Team for the
3rd year running. However, just days before, Connor was
forced to withdraw after being hospitalised with a Staph
infection in his ankle bone, which resulted in surgery then 6
weeks out of action.
Connor’s comeback was impressive to say the least and
through a lot of hard work and training he came back to win
the Sydney branch beach flags for the 5th year running, then
46
Alexandra Rampoldi was also once
again named as the sole female beach
competitor for the Sydney Interbranch
Team for the 3rd year running, winning
her Beach Flags event and finishing
3rd in the Beach Sprints for the
Sydney Team.
Alexandra continued her domination of the Beach Flags event,
by winning Gold in the U14s event at each carnival entered
including, branch for 3rd year running , state 4th year running
and finally becoming the inaugural U14 Female Beach Flags
National Champion at Aussies. The pocket rocket has trained
hard this season and her hard work has paid off, with her
results for beach sprints improving this season with silver at
Branch, Bronze at State and and a very very very close silver at
Aussies.
Alexandra’s U14 team mates and sisters have also excelled,
with Emily winning Silver in Beach Flags at Branch and
Leah winning Silver in Beach Flags at State while Ashleigh
MacDonald is regularly finishing in the finals and semis in these
events.
ALEX RAMPOLDI
CONNOR FLANAGAN
The nippers have also had some encouraging results for the
future of the club with Lucy Flanagan (what do the Flanagans
feed their children?) finishing with a Gold at State in Beach
Flags, a 4th in Sprints and 5th in the relay with Indi Bullian,
Ariane Sharpe and Tahlia Roja.
In the 13s Michael DeFranceso has had some encouraging
results on the beach and we look forward to him transitioning
to the senior section and joining in on the training sessions
planned.
If you are looking for inspiration and to know what North
Cronulla is all about, look no further than our wonderful
masters competitor Gladys Honer, who finished 4th at State
and 5th at Aussies in the 1km Beach Run and 3rd at State and
7th at Aussies in the Beach Flags events.
Thank you to all beachies for competing at all carnivals with
the spirit of this great club. Thanks to Damien Bulian, our own
Beach Champion who gives his time and expertise to the
nippers of the club. To Peter Moyle our Competition Director,
MATT DAY
Jamie Primmer our Club Captain, Giles Pugh, Sheridan and
Glen-Marie in the office and all of those quiet achievers who
work behind the scenes to make sure our club is represented
in the best way possible.
Moving forward, we have much planned for the Beach Section,
including structured pre-season training involving sand hills,
stairs and beach training. This will be open to all members,
not just the Beach Section. We also have the option of track
training at Sutherland with Kristy Smith and technique training
with Damien Bulian for those serious competitors. Utilising the
experience and resources that the club has to offer can only
benefit us all.
Assisting the transition from U/14s to seniors to ensure
competitor retention will be our priority.
Bring on the 2015/2016 season – We bleed Blue & Gold !
Tom Rampoldi and Jason Flanagan
Beach Captains
The U14 Beach Relay Team of Alexandra, Emily, Leah and
Ashleigh MacDonald finished 4th at Branch and 7th in the final
at State.
Other pleasing results were, Kai Woodger finishing 5th in the
U17s Male 2km Beach Run at State and the U17 Male Beach
Relay Team of Dane Bofinger, Lochie Davis, Brandon Finnegan
and Chad Moses finishing 4th at State – showing great North
Cronulla spirit!
Also showing this spirit was the U14/15 Female Beach Sprint
Relay Team of Charlotte McNamara, Kira Nutall, Maddison
Kelly-Makovec and Alexandra Rampoldi at the Australian Youth
Championships, by combining to make the final and finish
7th – the smiles on their faces at just making the final were
priceless – well done girls, showing that great North Cronulla
spirit yet again!

IT WAS ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL SEASON FOR THE NORTH
CRONULLA BOARD RIDING SECTION. WE WELCOMED
SOME NEW SURFERS TO THE GROUP AND CONTINUE TO
COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY AS A TEAM WHILE HAVING FUN.
THE 2014-15 SEASON HAS BEEN ANOTHER
SUCCESSFUL ONE FOR THE IRB SECTION.
We continue to grow as a section as we have many outstanding
grommies coming through the ranks moving from nippers
Sunday surfing to the senior competition.
Our first hit out for the season was the north Cronulla Christmas
carnival. We had a great turn out with North Cronulla surfers
represented in all age groups and smashing the point score!

Our next carnival for surfing was Branch and although this
carnival was mainly a wipe out due to dangerous conditions….
surfing started early in the morning and we gained some early
unreal results from our younger surfers. It was disappointing that
the rest of our surfers did not get to finish; it would have been
an outstanding result!

Fin Padman
Jake Woodger Kate Hawkings Kate Hawkings
Luke Hawkings State 2015… the non event….not only was it disappointing
for our clubs surfers to not be Surfing with the rest of their
mates at State who were doing the State championships. We
then find out that if we do have a stand alone competition that
those points will not carry over to the 2015 point score. This
is a shame for NC Cronulla surfers and all surfers in SLS. For
Nth Cronulla it is a great loss as we have had a very proud
history of surfers and this section is a wonderful contribution to
membership as well as being a valuable contributor to our clubs
overall point score at all 3 levels. This was greatly noted at the
2015 State Titles.
Aussies 2015
We travelled up to Queensland with a group of about 10 surfers.
We travelled out to Miami each day and with so many surfers
entered the competition stretched over 4 days. Many of our
surfers made semis and few finals. Our best results, was in U19
womens with Dani Calo coming away with a silver medal in
heavy 5ft swell and Jared Eason surfing unreal all day, making it
through all 6 rounds to the final, and finishing with a more than
impressive bronze in the Open Long Board.
Special mention to Luke Mahoney first time competing on the
long board, smashing it through the rounds almost making it
through to the semis, hang-10 pits on his 100 year old mal. Also
Luke Hawkings with consistent results at the local carnivals and
at branch. It was great to see some of our new surfers Chad
Moses, Lochie Davis and Jarrod Mckinnery giving it a great go
and surfing through a couple heats, welcome to the team. And
as usual Craig Mckinnery shredding on the longboard.
Our most improved surfer for the 2014-15 season goes to
the Phoebe Hick. Not only did Phoebe come away with some
strong results throughout the season, her overall attitude, team
spirit and ‘froathingness’ spreads throughout the surfing group,
making her a valued member of our team.
As part of the IRB section role we are required to cover
carnivals all around Sydney Branch. As a club with a strong
IRB section we are required to set up carnivals on a regular
basis (sometimes as the only club), often starting at 6am
and not finishing until the late afternoon. This can often be
a thankless task but done so everyone can compete. A big
thank you to everyone who assisted me this season with our
duties (too many to name).
As always our representation in IRB competition has been
strong once again this season. In our 8th year of competition
we have continued to reach more milestones. Our rise in
competition has attributed to the retention of our members
The most outstanding surfer of 2014-15 was Jared Eason. His
efforts in the Aussies championships were epic! Spending most
his heat time in the greenroom. Beating former world champions
and a well known Bondi lifeguard, to earn him his bronze.

who fill our patrols week in week out. Many of our members
started 8 years ago competing, many being 15 when they
started and now in their 20’s! These members that have been
around over the years help me with maintaining the gear to
keep our beaches safe, a big thankyou to you all. Our results
in competition varied at state level this season, with 4 bronze,
1 silver and 1 gold from the NSW IRB Premiership Series. We
were very unlucky with a lot of 4th places at the State Titles
with our female crews leading the charge on finals day. We
ended up finished 6th overall in NSW which was a great effort.
This seasons Australian Titles was held at Kingscliff in some
“interesting” conditions. There we achieved some new
milestones as mentioned earlier. For the first time we had
3 female members make the NSW Interstate Team. These
members were Elissa Hughes, Kate Janssen and Dani
Herman. Our “young guns” Mitch Cardy, Jared Kucler and
Joel Ryder for selected to represent NSW in the Development
Team. This year we made two out of the eight Australian
finals in the male teams and female tube, with many of
the other events our crews were knocked out in the Semifinals. Unfortunately, in the Men’s teams final we crossed
the line for a Bronze only to find out we were being DQD on
a technicality rule. A disappointing end to what would have
capped off a top season!
These great achievements outline above would not have
been possible without our fantastic core group of Sponsors.
A big thank you to Caltex, who continuously supply us with
fuel and vital equipment. Thankyou to All Vehicle Restraints,
Alan Freeman – who has used his retirement to build us a
fantastic engine trolley! Fairfield RSL, Holt Group, Cronulla RSL
who purchased a new motor this season, Tradies –who have
supplied us with a new boat for the season and last but not
least Jamie Primmer from Toll who helps us transport gear and
pick up equipment week to week that has made it possible
to achieve the great things above. Our Sponsors ensure the
safety of our beaches and our success in the Competition
Arena. Once again thank you for your support – and I look
forward to an ongoing future with your support.
Last but not least, a big thank you to Bobby Lovell – he has
given me so much support over the last eight years as IRB
Captain – it makes my job much easier! Thank you and I look
forward to your support for the upcoming season.
Well Done Team.

For the IRB section
it has been a big
year on the training
front, the IRB section
has put through
29 crewman and 9
drivers. The training
efforts over the years
has been the main
reason for our growth
as a “powerhouse”
for IRB’s in the
Branch. As a section
we are currently
forward planning to
begin training new
crew and drivers
from September to
December to expand
the section further and meet the strenuous lifesaving demands
being mandated by Surf Life Saving NSW. Keep an eye out
for courses coming up at the start of the 2015-2016 season.
It is a great pathway for our younger member to take to stay
involved in the club and make patrols fun!

Board Section Report
LAST SEASON WAS ONE OF MIXED CONTRASTS,
FRUSTRATIONS AND PERFORMANCE.
To have regular competition spread evenly across the season
would have been the ideal scenario. No one would have
predicted that the Interclub would be the only serious competition
prior to State Titles, with Manly having amended events, to
Branch Championships being cancelled, making team selection
and preparation extremely difficult.
The Interclub result was a fantastic effort by the Charges –
winning 3 events plus the Board Rescue Relay and placings in
remaining events saw the Board section setting a great platform
to enable the Club to win the Bill Marshall trophy. Well done
Chargers.
The State Titles saw 3 days of weather you could not predict.
Rain, heat, gale force winds – not ideal for competition. To see
many teams lead their event and not be victorious was frustrating
to say the least.
LEO NOSATTI
Special mention here to the male competitors – some of who
had 5 events in the final hour of competition. Ben Highfield, Leo
Nosatti, Jake Young and Nick Hards battled fatigue and injury to
put in their best efforts in every race they contested, especially
Ben and Leo, showing great spirit in each event until the finish.
Well done – I’m sure that some of our Senior competitors were in
awe of your performances.
The Masters saw the elder statesman from the Chargers (needs
to be inducted) taking out the gold medal in the over whatever
age Board Race. Well done Steve.
U15 Female Board Rescue – A disappointing end following
dominance in semi and leading the final only to be edged out of
the medals. Well done Kira and Hayley.
The Open events saw days of varying fortunes. We had 9 teams
contesting 6 finals – which was exceptional considering the size
of entries from Queensland clubs.
Open Board Relay - Led for the entire race only to be run down
at the finish. A great effort by Will Budd, Jake Moses and Rob
Annabel – Bronze medal.
The full results are listed elsewhere in the Annual Report but there
are some events that deserve special mention.
U17 Male Board Rescue – Same end result. Lachlan Moyle and
Lochie Davis led for all the event only to be passed by the dial a
wave teams from the back.
U17 Male Board Relay – Saw 2 teams battle it out in a high
quality final. Bragging rights went to the gold team of Brandon
Finnegan, Jye Highfield and Chad Moses, who fought it out right
to the line and record another 4th place.
And so to the Aussies – a 9 day carnival encompassing Youth,
Masters and Open events.
The introduction of the Youth Championships, whilst the concept
is good, the timetable crammed too many events into a 2 day
window.
LARA HUGHES AND KELLY PRIMMER

U17 Female Board Rescue team of Alex Budd and Abbey Pugh
showed great composure at the end of their semi and grab a
spot in the final. This was another high quality final with the girls
picking up a great runner to push through and take the silver
medal. Well done girls!
The Open Board Final saw Will Budd serve it up to a top class
final. His change of tactics at leading from the outset saw him
clear of the field after turning the last can. But as fate has it a
wave appeared for others in the field who nailed him 50 meters
from the finish line. A fantastic effort by a very focused young
man and success will ensure many times in the seasons to come.
WILL BUDD
LOCHIE DAVIS
had 2 teams ie. Lachlan Moyle/Lochie Davis and Chad Moses/
Jye Highfield. Both of these teams were given no chance of
being competitive, after being drawn outside of the course which
was reset by the area referee. To their credit both teams fought
it out to the finish – with Chad and Jye storming into 6th place. I
have never seen 2 competitors being so elated on gaining one
point for the Club. A
sterling effort by both
boys.
Special mention
to Jake Moses,
our first sectional
Vice Captain, his
composure and
leadership qualities
are unequalled and
his help during the
season was much
appreciated.
OPEN MEN BOARD RELAY
HAILEY LANE
I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the
following:Brook Fleming and employees from Paragon Plumbing for the
new racks on our trailer. The capacity of our trailer has now
doubled and was certainly needed for Aussies.
Giles and Sarah Pugh for keeping everyone updated with emails
and entries during the season and Giles assisting when extra
hands were needed.
The Mums, Dads and members who attended the Caringbah
Pub raffles – thank you all.
Michael Bofinger and Peter Moyle for their efforts in towing the
trailer to State and National Titles. Well done guys.
Kelly Moyle for undertaking the unenviable task at seasons end –
asking people for money. Good work Kel!
So this concludes Season No. 8 and like the TV series, 8 is
enough! I firmly believe if you want something bad enough,
no matter what it is, you will do whatever you need to make it
happen. I hope your dreams and ambitions become reality, seize
the opportunity, take hold of it and make it whatever you want.

SEASON FOR THE MARCH PAST SECTION.
NORTH CRONULLA UNDER 17 MARCH PAST
OPEN MARCH PAST
It was fantastic to see North Cronulla enter a team in all three
divisions at Aussies, (under 17’s, under 23’s and opens), and
we note that we were the only club to do so. The effort in
getting the three teams on the beach on the day was richly
rewarded with two silver medals, under 17’s and 23’s, and a
tenth for the open team. Congratulations to the under 17’s
and 23’s for such strong results with the under 17’s deservedly
being awarded most outstanding and improved in our section
for the season.

The 2014-15 season saw the bulk of the team reunite for
another run with our standard bearer Maurie Tattle leading
strongly from the front. We were also happy to be able to
welcome back past marchers such as Brian Booth.
Although the Aussies did not yield the results that we had
hoped, there was much to celebrate along the way such as
our bronze at the State at Umina.
As always, the team would not be the team without those
working tirelessly in the background. To that end we would
like to thank our coach Macca for his expertise and dedication
to the role and his Chief March Past Advisor Bob Hanson
whose experience and passion for March Past is unsurpassed.
We would also like to thank Brian Cowan who took on the
role of captain this season. We also extend our thanks to
Peter Calder, John Scott and Bob Taylor who also assisted
with training and carnivals. To all our technical advisors we
appreciate being able to leverage of your expertise and your
assistance is greatly appreciated.
Our 2014-15 team was made up of; Maurie Tattle, Brian
Matthes, Brian Cowan, Bill Goldthorp, Rod Fowler, Kevin
Boggiss, John Turner, Kevin Macnamara, Tracey McKinniery,
Lenore McKinniery, Frank Schreuder, Brian Booth, Gladys
Honer, John Scott.

NORTH CRONULLA UNDER 23 MARCH PAST
these young ladies are first year seniors so it was a big step
up from Nippers and I am so proud that this team was formed
with keeping these beautiful girls in our club and Buzz, you
became more than the coach, you became family, That’s
what makes this team so special, they all made the effort every
Sunday morning to turn up at 7am to train and also being
first year seniors they also had the responsibility of rostered
patrols, which these young ladies handled with no fuss always
helped each other out when it came to finding a sub, and also
Thank you to those who helped our girls out with our patrols
when they were competing at State and Aussies and huge
Thank you to all you parents who gave up your Sunday sleep
in to drop the girls to training and to all our carnivals all over
Sydney, special thanks also to Emily Maythers (u14 nipper) for
stepping in for us. Also to our open March Past team, Thank
you for taking our girls under your wings and sharing your
March Past knowledge with them.
Lastly to this amazing bunch of young ladies, this team
would not been possible without each and every one of you,
can’t wait to see you all back next season, Good luck to
Caitlin Cowan and Adelaide as they move up to the u19’s,
Congratulations and Thank you Girls we are so proud of what
you have all achieved this season. Lastly Kelly Moyle Thank
you for all your help this season we couldn’t have done it

What a way to finish the season, Australian Silver Medallists!
Congratulations to Buzz and the girls on an amazing first
season, we are so proud of all you have achieved in our debut
year. Firstly this team needs to thank some amazingly generous
people who helped make this team possible, Brian Cowan
(Cronulla Smash Repairs) has been so instrumental in us
having a reel, he found parts of our reel on a council cleanup
and from other surf clubs then with the generosity of Adam
& Paul Degnan ( Enware – all the chrome to our reel), Scott
Withers ( Age Signs – all our artwork), Col Mulhall (Southern
Fasteners many parts and nuts and bolts for our reel ) and
then Brian and Tubby Turner put everything together and gave
us the amazing reel we now have, we cannot Thank You both
enough, not only did we have these amazing donations so we
could compete, we also had Katrina Robson from Creative
Solutions donate NC Marchers hats and Warren Carney from
CSM donated shirts, The whole team cannot thank you all
enough .
I want to say a huge Thank You to our coach Buzz Piddington
for the countless hours you put into training this team even
though I’m sure you wanted to run a mile, The majority of

COMPRISED OF A FEW OF NORTH

GREATEST AND A LOT OF BOATIES.
opinion. All the North Cronulla supporters were convinced we
had crossed the line second but unfortunately after 20 minutes
of deliberation the Koros were awarded a gut wrenching 4th
place. This was a bit of a disappointing end to the season for a
crew that had trained so hard and performed so well in all the
rounds but unfortunately sometimes this happens in surf. I am
sure they will be around again next year to prove they were and
are the best 200+ crew.
STEWART CAMERON AND STEVE WARREN
Unfortunately the surf conditions prevented our masters water
team from competing at branch which left Gladys Honer as
our only competitor. Gladys was able to continue her winning
streak from 2014 at branch medalling in the sprint and flags for
her age group.
At state this year North Cronulla was represented by a small
but successful contingent of competitors. Stephen Warren
once again proved his superiority as a board paddler winning
his age group in the board race and backing up to win a silver
in the Iron man. Warren Lobb was also 3rd in this same board
race. Steve also teamed up with Stewart Cameron in the board
rescue to claim another gold medal and then partnered Warren
Lobb in the double ski claiming bronze. Shane Whittaker also
won an individual gold in his Iron man event and finished 4th
in the rescue tube and 6th in the surf race. In total we had 4
individual water competitors who won 5 medals . Gladys was
our only Beach competitor this year and was happy to come
away with a bronze in the flags and a 4th in the 1 km beach
run. North Cronulla had 2 masters boat crews competing
at State with the 180+ vets crew of Michael Bofinger, David
Gregson, Vaughn Meldrum , Wayne Turner and Trevor Robson
(sweep) winning gold and the 200+ Koros crew of Adam
Purdie, Barry Schuetrumpf, Michael Spurr, Geoff Streater
and Steve Swaine (sweep) finishing 5th . Both crews were up
against a large number of strong entries from many NSW clubs
so to make finals in masters boats you need to be extremely
competitive.
At Aussies this year Steve Warren showed that retirement
definitely agreed with him when he took out the Australian
board race title for his age group . I’ve actually lost count of
the times he has now won this event and it is no wonder he
is referred to as a legend in Surf Lifesaving. It was also nice
to see a large number of the board section Steve coaches
come along to watch him race and in his Iron man final where
he finished 5th . Steve and Camo also finished with a bronze
in the board rescue after a very exciting and nail biting end
SHANE WHITAKER

to the final. Gladys Honer was once again our soul beach
representative winning a bronze in the sprint and coming 5th
in the 1km run. We also had 2 other sneaky competitors who
do a lot of secret training together during the year and always
try to slip into events without even the masters captain’s
knowledge. However this year thanks to facebook we all knew
that Peter Moyle and Paul Moses made the Aussies final of the
double ski!!!
Up at Tugun in the masters boat area surf conditions
proved quite challenging for many crews with lots of rolls,
backshooting and men overboard. North Cronulla had 3
crews entered who each had to survive several elimination
rounds in rough conditions against tough competition to qualify
for the final 6. Our 140+ crew of Chris Osbourne, Brian Clarke,
Adam Mulhall, Andrew Smalley and sweep Steve Swaine were
the first to race in the final. They had a great start and were
second to the cans when fatigue appeared to set in and we
looked no chance as we headed back home dropping to last
place. That was until a huge wave popped up behind them
VETS BOAT CREW
mother nature interfered and allowed 4 other crews to catch
a wave from well behind them to bring 5 crews together in a
blanket finish over the line. The judges took ages to agree on
who had finished 1 to 5 with every judge having an opposing
On a final note to all the North Cronulla Masters congratulations
on your achievements this season. Our numbers are small but
our achievements are huge. Maybe next season we can work
in increasing the amount of females in the section as Gladys
I’m sure would love some company. So everyone who is over
30 have a think about doing some training and getting a beach
or water team together for 2016 especially if you are down
there taking your kids to training anyway you might as well get
in and have a go too!

and they managed to hold on to it all the way to the beach
flying back past most of the field to finish with a silver. A really
exciting finish to watch. The other 2 crews who had rowed
strongly all day and looked unbeatable were then tod they
would have to return the next day to finish semis and finals. A
bit of a disappointing end to the day but out of their control. So
the vets and the Koros returned the next morning to continue
with their quest for gold. Both teams cruised into the finals
with convincing wins in the semis and things were looking
very promising for our crews for the finals. The vets were the
first final of the day and lead from start to finish, never looking
threatened . They stormed home to take gold in the 180 +
Australian Boat Final. In the final of the 200+ Boat race the Koros crew got off to a blistering start and stayed out front all
the way to the cans and didn’t look like losing this intensity on
the return trip continuing to stay out the front of the field until
Yet another R&R team, this time the North Cronulla Red team,
is now blessed to grace the coveted North Cronulla wall of
fame, winning the gold. Our teams medalled in the U15,
U17, U19 and open events at the NSW State Championships
achieving Gold in both the Open Women’s and U19 events.
Goman put in by mentoring the younger teams which I hope
to see more of. It was also great to see the club unity with
the R&R competitors going above and beyond driving to state
and taking time away from their own training in Qld to carry
equipment and pay out for the Swim section in the belt races.
We had a slight decrease in the number of teams this season
and it was disappointing we were unable to find competitors
for the U13/U12 2-man and U14 5 person teams. We have
top coaches available who can get guaranteed results and
with such a large number of Nippers I am unsure why we
couldn’t man teams. We also had some very late starts from
our opens teams, I had to twist a lot of arms, and we had poor
showing at carnivals which led to a lowered sense of section
unity, something for us to work on next season. In saying this,
all my arm twisting paid off, we had medals raining down on
us. I appreciated the work Chelsea Robertson and Hannah
Our Most Outstanding R&R competitor for this year goes to
Taleisha Garland. Not only is Taleisha one of the highest quality
linesmen to come through the junior ranks but she is a tireless
and dedicated competitor with the strength to compete with
three different teams back to back all of which made the final
and at both State and Australian Championships. Taleisha is
to be commended for her focus and commitment to training,
often being required to train on the beach for 3-4 hours at a
time in multiple teams.
The Most Improved Competitor as always is difficult with
noted performances from U15 and 17 teams. This year’s

Open Women’s Pink:
award goes to Erin Padman who exemplified what makes
a great competitor, attitude, training, commitment, and an
overall desire to improve. Erin had to learn the whole event
from scratch as well as do extra training in the pool to be a
belt swimmer, she had some great swims up against the U17
and U19 males holding her own and she can now say she is a
State gold medal belt swimmer.
A huge thank you to the sections sponsors, supporters and
the parents. In particular Brian Cowan and Tubby Turner
spent all winter getting sponsors and refurbishing our sections
reels some of which were in desperate need of some TLC.
Reels are around 3k each, with our refurbishment we are well
equipped for the next 5 years of competition. This has saved
the club a lot of money and will enable us to retire equipment
(that broke this year) to ensure our teams don’t suffer the
issues we have had in the past where equipment failure has
caused disqualification and saw us borrowing from other
clubs. Our section fundraiser was again a huge hit with the
youngsters with tickets selling out well before the event and we
even had scalpers selling tickets. Thank you to all the parents
that helped with this night. It’s a huge, and difficult event to
run with our security team (aka the ‘dads’) dealing with the
crowds swamping the doors to get in, ‘the mums’ monitoring
the underagers, our bar staff tending to the long bar line-up

you will always look back at the years you have spent with us
fondly and maintain the lifelong friends you have made. For
the youngsters coming through, we have a saying, you can’t
quit until you are on the wall, so I look forward to seeing all of
you next season, where hopefully there will be enough of the
oldies to help guide you in all things R&R.
Under 15s:
Josh Hargreaves, Maddi Moyle, Maddi Makovek, Abbey
Bofinger, and Kirra Nuttal
We were able to merge 2 nipper teams from 2014 to form our
under 15s team for their first year out of the junior competition.
We began the season by changing everyone’s positions from
the previous season. The team adapted remarkably quickly to
these new positions and showed a lot of potential from early
on. There are some very promising members in this team who
consistently demonstrate focus, commitment and skill in R
and R. It was the first exposure to Aussies for 4 of the team
and they were unlucky not to sneak in for a bronze eventually
finishing a very credible 4th in the final of the Australian Youth
Titles ever held in Surf lifesaving. Other successes for this
team included a silver at Branch and A bronze at the NSW
Championships. This team were always a pleasure to coach.
They were enthusiastic, eager to improve and were always well
mannered and respectful. They are all accredit to their families.
Congratulations on a great first season of senior competition.

was particularly strong especially from the Victorian clubs.
However despite the competitive field the girls still managed
to qualify in 3rd position for the final. Unfortunately we were
unable to quite repeat our sensational heat performance in
the final but still finished a credible 5th place. The girls should
be really pleased with their progress throughout the season.
Congratulations to you all and a special thank you must go to
Adelaide who regularly broke the monotony of training with her
comic relief. Well done girls.

Under 19s:
Taleisha Garland, Hannah Goman, Erin Padman, Chelsea

Karen Goman (Coach)
This team only made one appearance this season which was
at the NSW Championship. Taleisha and Erin stepped up from
the 17s to allow Hannah, Jade and Chelsea to compete in their
last year as under 19s. This proved to be a very successful
combination with the girls becoming the 2015 Under 19s
Mixed R and R Champions of NSW. A great result for the last
year 19 girls but also for Erin and Taleisha who each won their
ever first state gold medal.
Open Women’s Blue
Karen Goman (Coach)
Under 17s:
Erin Padman, Taleisha Garland, Grace Goman, Adelaide
Robertson, and Caitlin Cowan.
This was a new experience for this team as it was not only the
first time they had competed in R&R as a water event it was
actually the first time Adelaide and Erin had ever done R&R.
This team had to work really hard to learn the new event and
out of all the teams I trained they definitely put the most hours
in at training. Congratulations on progressing so far during the
season. It was a very steep learning curve especially for Erin
Padman who not only hard to learn all the land drills but also
had to swimming train for her role as the team’s belt swimmer.
Their first major carnival was Sydney Branch where they won
silver in the 17 event, Silver in the 19 and Bronze in the Open
Women. At State we continued to improve our performance
and were deservedly awarded with a NSW silver medal in the
17s event. At Aussies this year the competition for under 17s
UNDER 19’S
Due to illness, study /new work
commitments and various other
obstacles we were a bit later in
beginning our campaign than in
previous years and subsequently
we were unfortunately only able to
compete at State and Aussies this
season. I am sure the girls were all
disappointed with their 4th at State
and 5th at Aussies after the highlights
of last season but they are still an excellent R&R team who on
their day can match any R and R team in Australia. This just
wasn’t our year. I have been with these girls a long time now
and I still enjoy spending time with them. They are a great bunch
of girls and very easy to coach. A special thank you must go
to Chelsea Robertson who was an invaluable help to me with
coaching the under 17s team. She went beyond an above the
call of duty not only giving up her own time but also taking the
reel places for me so we could train on safer beaches. Chelsea
is an asset to any R and R team and also shows excellent
potential as an R and R coach. Thanks girls, it’s always a
pleasure and we shall wait until further down the track to see
what next season has in store???
OPEN WOMEN’S R&R PINK TEAM
Stephanie Buncombe, Monika Di Maio, Taylor Harvey, Lucy
Mahoney, and Ellie Streater.
The old girls were back again to better last season’s
disappointment. We had to do a fair bit of grovelling and
blackmail to get Lucy back but we got her in the end thanks
to the ever persistent Ellie. The team decided to approach
the season without the obsession of the last (to avoid 4th
place heartbreak) and we breezed through the season pretty
casual and winning every carnival up to Aussies. Lucy as
always was exceptional in her belt swims, with Ellie mastering
patient, Monika and Steph in sync on the line and Taylor
dual gold medal reelman as brilliant as ever in getting this
team back to the beach first. The team went into the State
Championships with a strong determination. They drilled
exceptionally, Lucy won the belt swim and Taylor was first back
to shore, all cementing their first place achievement. Going
into the Australian Championships we knew it was going to
be a challenge with so many teams at such a quality, we had
the three medal winners from last year along with some new
contenders to beat. I had no doubts the team could win, it
would all come down to what judges we ended up with and
what position we drew on the beach, based on surf conditions.
The team won the Heats moving into the Final in our dreaded
1st position. We unfortunately drew the worst swim lane
on the beach with the teams down the other end having
the advantage of a nice rip to assist them get out. The girls
performed extremely well however we were not the better team

Open Women’s Red
The Open Women’s red team consisted of Kate Boyd, Erin
Cowan, Patricia Cowan, Sydney Cramb and Kate Jansen and
coached by Ben Dillon.
With a change of swimmers, Kate Boyd in as Beltman and
Sydney Cramb as Patient, and a very late start for training,
commencing only one week out from State when Kate Jansen
returned from a winter in Canada, the team settled into a
haphazard preparation for the R&R titles. However, they did
have a significant competition history that could be called upon
and when it counted waltzed onto the beach with the brazen
confidence of a team that knew it could win. All had been
coached previously by myself and the team quickly fell into its
timing. The main task was to adjust deeply learned routines
to this season’s interpretation of the rules by the judges. It
helps when 2 of our coaches, Kris and I, are on the National
Technical Committee. At the NSW Championships they jagged
a bronze medal to stand on the Dias with the NC Blues, State
Title winners again. In a replay of the Perth nationals, we again
placed 3 of our teams in the final and 2 teams on the Dias
but this time fortune favoured the Reds – improving from 2
successive national bronzes to win the gold medal, with the
Blues holding silver. With drill points matched at 2 points, again
it was only swimming points that separated the medals…..
and the Reds drew the best beach position for the swim and
executed the swim plan to perfection, Blues drew the worst
and could not close the gap. This year it was the Red’s day at
North Kirra, but the continuing presence of 3 very experienced
and competitive open women’s teams, each a proven national

The Open 6 Person event is considered to

the team of Lara Hughes, Lucy Mahoney,
Ellie Streater, Monika Di Maio, Stephanie
Bumcombe and Taylor Harvey did a
fantastic job gaining a bronze at Sydney
Branch and making the finals of both State
and Australian. The team had a bit of a late
start and didn’t quite get the training time in to compete in an
event where you need to know all the positions as good as
your own. However the team drilled well and both Lara and
Lucy had awesome swims particularly Lara who kept up with
the men in the Belt in the Australian Final. We still had some
tears and dramas when the girls picked their ‘hated positions’
but everyone did a great job including Steph who managed
to pull our Reelman time and time again (to the delight of the
spectators). It was great to see North Cronulla represented
again in this premier event after decades of absence and great
we paved the way in seeing other all-female teams join the
ranks this season in this event. Great job girls.

Our goal was to continue to encourage and guide the youth of
our section to form a solid future and to develop the talent we
possessed by providing expertise and up to date equipment.
Craft is always a focus and fundraising continued throughout
the season but more importantly the bonds and friendships
that have been formed this season have taken the morale in
our section to a new level.
Ten open crews (including three Junior Crews) and two
Masters Crews started the season with determination. Eight
crews entered the highly competitive South Coast Series
where North Cronulla achieved a creditable third behind
Austinmer and Bulli, two great rowing clubs. Purds’ Reserve
Crew entered the Ocean Thunder which gave Lockie and
Kurt Spurr some great experience rowing with Clarky and
Guru against the best crews in Australia. Trax’s A’s filled in for
one day and made the final. A special thank you must also
go to Lockie Spurr who displayed a true sense of team work
throughout the entire season by filling in for many crews from
Juniors to A’s!!
All our crews have been competitive and results across all
carnivals were very encouraging. Our strength as a section
started to show at the interclub when we took ownership of
the’ Boat Trophy’ once again.
Nine Open Crews and Two Masters rowed at the NSW State
Championships in extremely testing conditions. Four crews
made the finals: Trax’s A’s (6th) Colts (3rd), Yappy’s Junior’s
(3rd) and Trax’s Reserve’s/ 180 Vet’s (6th in Reserves and 1st
in 180s.)
In April at the Australian Surf Lifesaving Championships at
Tugun Beach in Queensland, Eight Open Crews and three
Masters Crews represented North Cronulla. Two crews made
the finals: Colts (3rd) and Juniors (4th). Purd’s Junior Crew
made the major semi-final in their first year of rowing only to
miss out by the slightest of margins. To have two Junior Crews
in the top eight in Australia is simply outstanding and a first for
North Cronulla. Trax’s Vets made it into the Australian Top 12 in
Reserves and two Masters crews won medals in the Masters
competition: – Vets 160’s won silver, 180’s won Gold and
brought home the Inaugural Aussies ’180’ Boat trophy. The
200’s rowed brilliantly to come in 4th. Together North Cronulla
was the third best performing Boat section at the 2015 Aussie
Championships.

As a club and as a section we have many people who help
us to function competitively. Countless people give up their

weekends sharing their wisdom; Terry ‘Dog’ Dowers, Donny
‘Worko’ Workman, Tom Chapman and Corey Bocking. This
year the master, Brian Trouville, re-joined our section and
wrote a gruelling programme for the crews to follow, which
undoubtedly stepped our crews up to the level needed. Our
sweeps are second to none: Trevor “Trax” Robson,’ Steve
“Yap Yap” Swane, Adam “Purds” Purdie, (legend vice captain,
sweep, rower, maintenance man and all round good bloke!)
Chris “Ozzy” Osborne, Craig ‘Hawkeye’ Hawkings and Mick
Hawkins. Special mention must be made of the ‘old man
of the sea’ Steve Yap Yap ‘Swane. Nothing fazes this man.
He willingly fills in for every sweep and he happily takes any
rowers out in any condition. He has been winning medals for
years and he continues to return year after year to mentor and
inspire all those in the North Cronulla Boat tent. At Aussies a
boat came hurtling towards him and he did not flinch! The man
is a legend. Thanks for everything you do Yap.
We have a wealth of knowledge , experience and talent
always willing to help out - Aunty Jack, Barney Ferguson,

Surfboat Section Report (continued)
Roger Mentha, Linda Hawkins, Barry Schuetrumpf , Andrew
Peterson, Geoff Streater, Mick Spurr and this year it was great
to have Frank Schreuder back involved, he is a true North
Cronulla legend whose heart is in our boat section. Bobby and
Joan Lovell are also great supporters of our section always
watching and constantly helping in many ways behind the
scenes. The list is endless! Thank you to all!
The young rowers have been well supported and are the future
of our section. They have been coached and swept by the
best. It is an impressive sight to see at carnivals, especially at
the Aussies this year, the mentoring that is evident at North
Cronulla. Whilst on the line, every rower is flanked by several
other more experienced rowers, giving tips, calming them
down, inspiring them, and then celebrating their efforts.
Thunder Boat Series (.A big thankyou to Andrew at TRAYD
POOLS) and performed well against the best A grade crews
in the country. The boys trained hard and were always a threat
in Reserves. They were on the pace but a bit out of luck at the
State and Aussies. A memorable year with a few great wave
sessions out the front. Thanks to Andrew Peterson, Donny,
Yap and Dog for helping out.
Juniors: Jack Mentha, Jed Bofinger, Sam Chivers, Trent Purdie
The juniors showed their ability from last season, getting
equal 3rd in the State and 4th in the Aussies. They are an
excellent surf crew. They are very relaxed and balance work
commitments and holidays around training. They are a crew to
watch in the future.
Mick Hawkins
Under 23 Red women: Layne Holloway, Maddi McKinnery,
Lauren Chadwick, Libby Holloway
UNDER 23 MEN JELLYFISH
The sweeps know their crews better than anyone else and
again they have written their own individual reports.
Unfortunately not all went their way in the Aussies. With a bit
of luck they were a real finals contender, but not to be. The
Jellies: all fit, all clowns - they certainly livened up the tent
and helped make the season enjoyable. Hopefully the boys
will hang around next season as they also proved to be good
‘clubbies’
Sweeps Reports:
Chris “Ozzy’ Osborne - Amber Chadwick, Natasha
Hargraves, Brigitte Duffy, Carmen Loomes
After a few crew changes throughout the season Amber and
Natasha joined original crew members Brigitte and Carmen.
The girls then set their goal to row at the NSW titles and
knuckled down to training both in and out of the boat. I was
very impressed with their commitment. There was a huge
improvement with strength and fitness. Their improvement
in the boat was equally impressive especially given the short
time together. Continuing with their hard work and some
more time in the surf I can really see this crew being a strong
contender in the under 23 women’s. A special thanks goes to
Linda Hawkins for organising and taking the girls for all their
out of boat training, and assisting throughout the season.
Thanks to Bof for the ongoing support and giving me the
opportunity to sweep this season. Finally thanks to the girls
for a fun season. It was a season of learning for all five of us. I
hope to see the girls back in the boat next season
Adam Purdie
Junior crew: Christian Ruhen, Karl Cleary, Tom Mailey, Darcy
Smith, Connor Smith, Matt Dunstan, .Luke Hawkins, Reece
Robson and third generation boat rower - Matt Workman.
BLACK RESERVE CREW
UNDER 23 WOMEN
YAPPIES JUNIORS
Steve Swane
Yappy’s 200+ Crew: Michael Spurr, Barry Schuetrumpf, Geoff
Streater, Adam Purdie
We had a few different crew combinations throughout the
year and they were an excellent group of young men and a
pleasure to sweep. Christian, Karl, Tom and Darcy improved
with every row at the back end of the season. They formed our
second Junior crew at the Aussie championships and were
outstanding - finishing in the top 8, which was an amazing
result for a group of new rowers. We look forward to all the
boys returning to the North Cronulla Boat section next season
where they will all be a force to be reckoned with.
This crew’s commitment to this season was exceptional! They
trained extremely well, were always on the beach and showed
commitment to helping and leading the younger members.
Unfortunately their luck was not with them at the major titles,
they got equal 4th at the Aussies, after all teams were on the
same wave. Luck of the wave.
Black Reserve Crew: Andrew Smalley, Brian Clark, Kurt
Spurr, Lockie Spurr
As strange as it may seem, this crew had 2 training sessions
together to pick up a silver medal at the Aussies! They rowed
well to be at the back of the break first and due to lack of
fitness they were rowed down by the other teams only to catch
a great wave home.
It was a case of the young and the old in the boat this season.
With the Spurr boys in the bow and the Old hands Guru and
Clarky in the stroke seats. The crew competed in the Ocean
62
Over 140’s - Andrew Smalley, Brian Clark, Adam Mulhall, Chris
Osborne
The girls showed plenty of potential this season after the
late inclusion of newbie rower, 16 year old Libby Holloway;
following the upsetting news that our stroke Bronte Howell had
injured herself and was out for the season. It was a challenge
in itself getting the two sisters to row together! Consistent
training saw the girls achieve some good results in both the
Sydney Branch and the South Coast series. The girls were
looking good at the State finals before a huge wipe out in
tough conditions put an end to their carnival. Come Aussies
time the girls were again looking good, getting through some
tough heats making it to the quarter finals before some bad
luck saw them smashed at the start. This was the crew’s first
Aussies appearance and I think they gained an appreciation
about the level of training and effort required to be a top crew.
With application these girls could be unbeatable. Bring on next
season!
Open women - this year was another first for North Cronulla
we had three sisters row together at Corrimal Carnival, Elena,
Cherie and Rochelle, but due to family commitments only had
one start this season.
Trevor “Trax” Robson
A crew: Joel Croft, Pat Hunt, Jack Finney, Kane Hughes
What a year this crew has had! Absolutely outstanding making
every major final, except for the last and they had every right
to think that they would be in the final of the Australian Titles. If
only their sweep could stay in the boat! I am very proud of their
leadership, and courage no matter what conditions throughout
the whole year. North Cronulla have once more an A crew to
be proud of!
Under 23 Red Jelly Fish - Mick Hawkins, Mitch O’Neill,Mitch Bouzounis, Jack Dalton, Blake Bouzounis, Sam Ryan
and Josh Lea
The Red Jelly Fish started their season as the ‘Hell Fish’ but
were quickly put in their place with an apt name change. For
new rowers, the early season saw some huge efforts put in
for not much return as they were learning the finer points
of rowing. As the season progressed and they continued a
high training ethic, the Jellies began putting on speed. Come
Aussies the boys were really starting to hit their straps. Much
to the delight of the Boat Section, Josh ‘Bluey’ Lea had
recently joined the crew and they were really flying in training.

North Cronulla Touring Team 2015
Surfboat Section Report (continued)
The list of supporters of our section is endless and this
was evident on Tugun beach during the Aussie titles. The
sheer volume of supporters wearing the blue and gold was
amazing to see. There was no doubt that North Cronulla
was well represented at the Aussies. Many families, parents,
grandparents, partners and friends made their way up to
Tugun Beach to be a part of the action. It was great to see
the kids on the beach watching their brothers, sisters or dads
and supporters taking photographs, carrying a few boats and
helping to move the tent a few times!!
THIS SEASON THE NORTH CRONULLA TOURING TEAM TRAVELLED TO UMINA ONCE
AGAIN FOR THE STATE TITLES FROM THE 11TH TO THE 15TH OF MARCH AND BACK
TO THE GOLD COAST FOR THE AUSSIES FROM THE 4TH TO THE 12TH OF APRIL.
North Cronulla Rowing Academy
As this season closes we are already looking forward to next
season. There has been much interest in our section and many
young men and women have already started in the gym and
on the ergs. The future looks promising.
UNDER 23 MEN
Under 23 men: Zac Hughes, Angus McKenzie, James Budd,
Roy Steele
This crew of rascals had North Cronulla’s hopes riding on their
young shoulders and North Cronulla wasn’t disappointed. This
crew was only beaten on a hand full of occasions, all year. In
both State and Australian titles leading the races in the final
for victory, only to be snatched away from behind. You boys
should be very proud of your efforts as the whole section was!
The Blue Vets: Dave Gregson, Michael Bofinger, Vaughn
Meldrum, Tommy Turner
Once again I find myself fighting for words to describe how
talented and tough these guys are. Not only were they
undefeated in all 180 masters events, but went on competing
at both State and Australian titles to make the final cut in
Reserves. Not only is that a major achievement, but I cannot
recall a crew in 30 years of sweeping surf boats that has
achieved anywhere near the level that these old guys keep
achieving. WOW! It will be a sad day when North Cronulla no
longer has you guys in the tent. Thanks for another great year!
On a personal note I would like to thank the A crew, (their
commitment was outstanding this season) and of course all
the old boys! These crews all lead by example for our younger
rowers. Their role within the Boat Section is invaluable and
immeasurable. I feel very proud to be the North Cronulla Boat
Captain and privileged to still be rowing, with four great mates,
for this great club!
A highlight this year for me was being a part of the finals on
Sunday at the Aussies. To have the opportunity to ‘warm up’
as a group, then stand with our huge team of North Cronulla
supporters and watch two Junior crews ( including my eldest
son Jed) compete in the Top 8 and the Colts come home with
a medal, was an amazing feeling. It is a memory I won’t forget.
Thank you to everyone involved for a great season of rowing.
Looking forward to the challenges of next season!
Regards
Bof
A very big thank you must go to our leadership team for the
commitment and hours of effort they have put in to making our
section work. Special mention must go to:
REPRESENTATIVE TEAM 2015
I am the lucky one who can stick team manager next to my
name but I can assure you this trip doesn’t happen without
the tremendous input from Pete Moyle, Tracey McKinniery,
Sheridan Hughes, Jamie Primmer, Bobby Lovell, Mitch Cardy
and Ryan Forsythe.
When you go away as a Team Manager and one of your
youngest members of that Team is the current Sydney Branch
Open Team Captain, you know things are going OK.
This season North Cronulla has reached a stage where as a
Touring Team they expect results and deliver results in all age
groups, in all disciplines of Surf Life Saving’s Surf Sports program.
Our Coaches, Section Leaders and Club Officials are a
collection of some of the greatest people to come through any
Club in Surf Life Saving’s history.
Over the past five to six years they have coached, mentored
and guided a group of fine young men and women who now
represent this club with great skill and enormous courage but
above all respect.
They respect their coaches and leaders, they respect their
peers in competition but most importantly they respect
themselves and their families.
We now have a group of elite sports people who train hard,
compete hard and party hard. It is obvious that they enjoy
each other’s company and will always have their mate’s back.
As a Team Manager this is very reassuring.

THE BLUE VETS
Emily Maythers achieved great results in the U15s despite
only being an U14, with a 4th in Sydney Branch and an 8th
in state. An absolute standout in the physical events, I am
confident that Em will be a force to be reckoned with in the
coming years of Champion Lifesaver at Aussies. If anyone
is interested in staying in competition or rejoining an easy
going competition section please let me know and I would
be more than happy to organise training and assistance for
you do do so! Lifesaving assesses a whole lot more than just
the physical events and if you are an effective enthusiastic
lifesaver, we want you! Please see the website or contact the

North Cronulla Christmas Carnival 2014
Surfsports Officials Coordinators Report
For quite a few years now I have put my hand up to fill the roll
of Organiser for the time honoured North Cronulla Christmas
Carnival. I do so willingly as I know there will always be a huge
amount of support given to me from many men and many
women who, like me, are proud members of this great Club.
ANOTHER GREAT SEASON FOR NORTH CRONULLA AT ALL CARNIVALS, LOCAL,
BRANCH, STATE AND THREE (3) AUSSIES. OPENS, MASTERS AND THE NEW
CONCEPT, YOUTH CHAMPIONSHIPS.
Each year I arrive quite early just to get on the front foot and lay
some groundwork.
It also allows me to notice who is arriving, and as each person
shows up a little less pressure is eased from my shoulders.
One man I am always so pleased to lay eyes on, and on most
occasions always one of the first, is Larry Leadbeater.
Larry is a big, strong man, capable of doing a huge amount of
work with a minimum of fuss. Every year the same 10 second
conversation occurs,
“Morning Baz”
The inaugural “Steve Warren Cup” was run and won by the
mighty competitors of the home Club. Thanks to all section
leaders.
The boat area of the carnival experienced their greatest number
of entries for a long time. Thank you Elouera for your support.
The hospitality of the North Cronulla Ladies committee was
again second to none.
The support and input from many members under a heavy
heart was inspirational.
“Morning Baz”
“Morning Laz, thanks for coming”
“What can I do?”
“Morning Laz, thanks for coming.”
“Same as always thanks Larry”
“What can I do?”
“Same as always thanks Larry” and away he would go with the
pressure of the beach sprint set up lifted from my shoulders.
This year, the 20th December 2014, was different.
The Carnival went ahead on time and was a great success.
Thank you all Officials.
TONY HUGHES
“We lost Marc last night………”

This Club was well represented by Officials at all these
events as has been the norm for previous years.
NORTH CRONULLA WAS REPRESENTED INTHE

To all competitors that represented the Club, congratulations
on your achievements and a special mention to Peter
Moyle and his team of Section Leaders and Coaches for
the outstanding results this season the most notable being
securing the Inter Club Championship.
To all, thank you for your efforts in ensuring this seasons
success and I look forward sharing next season’s success
with you all.

Retention and engagement of our youth is a major issue
facing all clubs not only within the Sydney Branch but across
the entire state. North Cronulla SLSC has made it a goal to
increase our Youth retainment throughout the 2015-2016
season. I have been working closely with the JAG Director
Donna Hargreaves to develop a program for the youth of
North Cronulla SLSC. This program is based on the Australian
Surf Lifesaving Youth Engagement Program (YEP); this
program has been very successfully running throughout
Queensland for a number of years.
I would like to extend an invitation to all youth members of North
Cronulla SLSC to become inaugural members of the North
Cronulla Youth Engagement Program. This program will allow
you to explore and become more involved in a range of areas
within surf lifesaving, many of which you wouldn’t even had
known about. Under the guidance of a mentor you will earn
points or ‘surf creds’ gaining experience, be rewarded for those
points with prizes and develop many useful life skills along the
way. Thanks everyone who has offered to help with this project.

Congratulations to Jarred Tranter, who was selected to
represent North Cronulla SLSC and Sydney Branch at the
Youth Opportunities Makers Workshop. Jarred met with other
highly motivated youth members to discuss issues affecting

Sydney Branch Delegate’s Report
JAG Director’s Report
DIRECTOR DONNA HARGREAVES, SECRETARY BARB MAYTHERS AND DEPUTY
DIRECTOR BROOK FLEMING AND THEIR COMMITTEE PUT IN COUNTLESS
HOURS TO ASSIST WITH ALL ASPECTS OF RUNNING OF THE NIPPER SECTION
AND MAKING SURE IT WAS A SAFE AND ENJOYABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL
INVOLVED. THIS IS A REWARDING BUT INCREDIBLY TOUGH JOB AND THEY CAN
BE PROUD OF THEIR EFFORTS AGAIN.
OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS THE WEATHER AND WAVES HAVEN’T BEEN
KIND TO OUR NIPPERS AT NORTH CRONULLA AND THIS YEAR WAS NO DIFFERENT.
benefit. Branch’s continued commitment to providing better
education and skills to our youth is evident. The u/11 & under
13 development camps have been a fantastic success over the
years with feedback from all clubs saying it was very well run and
all the young members having a wonderful experience. Sydney
Airport, in their third year of sponsorship with Surf Life Saving
Sydney Nippers assisted with the running of the development
camps and the Branch carnival entries. We hope this partnership
continues.
Our club captains this season were Emily Maythers & Darby
Thompson who did a fantastic job representing their club and
assisting their peers throughout the year. They capped it off by
both making the final of the Sydney Branch Life Saver of the year
competition. Emily was announced as the Female Sydney Branch
Junior Life Saver of the Year in front of Club Members and proud
parents Barb and Jeff at the Branch Championships. Both Darby
and Emily were outstanding nominees and did themselves and
their club proud. The committee was very impressed with the
standard of all the young finalists. Emily was invited to a State
Camp with other Branch JLSOY and this was enjoyable and
worthwhile for all involved.
Branch Surf Sports Director Wayne Druery, Deputy Greg
Pearce, BJD competition co-ordinator Mike Day and their highly
experienced and committed team again spent countless hours
organising the running of our carnivals. With the assistance
of the clubs they organised some terrific Surf carnivals. Our
Branch officials are the best in the business and should also be
congratulated on their professionalism and care of our young
competitors. The Communication from Branch to club has again
been outstanding. The BOSS team is constantly thinking of new
ideas to make carnivals more enjoyable and relevant for today.
The addition of a Branch Officials Team APP was an innovation
that was very welcome.
Best wishes to the committee for the upcoming 2015/2016
season.
It was again great to see so many U/14 members gain their
Surf Rescue Certificates this season after extensive training by
instructor Jason Gollan and his team. We hope they continue to
enjoy the movement as they move forward through the senior
section.
Doug Hawkins was once again the Sydney Branch Junior
development Director. Doug is passionate about the
development of the junior ranks and the lifesaving movement
and puts in a lot of time and effort into this role. Doug was
assisted again by Bruce Bevan as Deputy Director and Donna
Hargreaves our Nipper Director as Secretary, Mike Day was
again the Junior Competition Director. These two North Cronulla
members did a great job for the Branch. The Sydney Branch is
the biggest Branch in Australia and its clubs completed 5,500
education awards and has over 7,000 nippers. Doug hosted
a Junior Activity Management Course were 8 clubs and 45
participates attended at the Maroubra and North Cronulla clubs.
This was well received by all who attended and was of great
80
We have had carnivals cancelled, including our own Sunday
nippers on two separate occasions. So the decision in the
second half of the season was made to take our nippers to
Kurnell. This was a great initiative by our Deputy Director, Brook
Fleming. With the help of our great committee we moved
boards and tents and set up water areas which gave the Under
8s to the Under 14s a chance to get in the water and have
some fun.
This different approach to their usual Sunday routine was
embraced by all and gave the children that hadn’t had the
confidence in the past to get in the water and give it a go. Next
year our plan is to have a couple of Sundays at the start of
the season out at Kurnell so that the younger age groups can
continue to build their confidence and give the older age groups
the chance to assist.
This season we had a record number of Squad Leaders whose
support and enthusiasm for our nippers was fantastic. All
attended the Squad Leader Information night at the start of
the season which gave them the opportunity to meet, discuss
and learn about the role they had taken on. I wish to thank the
Squad Leaders for their efforts; it’s not an easy job to ensure
that all children are enjoying themselves but you all did it!
Our Under 14 Nippers obtained their Surf Rescue Certificate
which is an awesome effort and to top it off they organised the
Ice Bucket Challenge which included the local fire brigade, the
Hogs Breath Pig and most of the Club Board. It was fantastic to
be a part of this with a great bunch of kids.
The 2014/15 season brought the celebrations of 50 years of
nippers at North Cronulla. I would like to thank the organising
committee for their outstanding efforts in preparing such a
wonderful day for all our members. It was a great celebration
and would not have been possible without their commitment
and hard work on the day.
North Cronulla Nippers and Cronulla Nippers stepped in to host
the 4-Way on behalf of Wanda due to the refurbishment of their
club. It is always great to see the four Bate Bay clubs work so
well together to run the biggest carnival in the branch besides
the Sydney Branch Titles.
The Australia Day Ironperson Classic started out at North but
was quickly moved to Cronulla Beach this season due to the
dangerous surf conditions and I would like to thank Cronulla
Surf Club for their support. Moving the Carnival didn’t stop the
large number of competitors we had. Great to see so many
return to the club at the completion of the carnival for the
presentation. Thank you to our wonderful sponsors Rip Curl.
And a special thank you to the Under 13 Fundraising Team for
your outstanding efforts.
EMILY MAYTHERS – LIFESAVER OF THE YEAR
This year it was very exciting to have two finalists in the Sydney
Airport Branch Age Championships Junior Life Saver of the Year
(JLOTY) – Darby Thompson and Emily Maythers. Emily was
named Sydney Branch JLOTY to a very excited North Cronulla
Cheer Squad during the branch carnival. North Cronulla Nippers
hopes that we can again next year have finalists in this event.
North Cronulla Nippers did well this year at the NSW State Titles
despite fielding a smaller team than in previous years. The club
came home with nine gold, two silver and four bronze – fantastic
efforts by all our nippers. A big thank you to our rash vest
sponsors Paragon Plumbing; the kids looked great! The nipper
committee is exceptionally proud of the whole team that went
away this season especially with the ever changing conditions –
we might have had big waves and had to move tents and build
trenches but at least this year we had sunshine!
This season North Cronulla took a small team of under 14s to
the Inaugural Australian Surf Life Saving Youth Titles, which
was held at North Kirra on the Gold Coast. This year was extra
special as we are celebrating 90 years at North Cronulla and
100 years since the first carnival was ever held for Surf Life
Saving.
Along with the under 15s our nippers competed for two full days
in individual and team events, this was a hard challenge for our
nippers as we have always had three days of competition at
state level. This challenge only made our kids stronger and they
continued to show the team spirit that North Cronulla is well
known for. Special congratulations must go to Alex Rampoldi
for winning Gold in the under 14 Flags and Silver in the under 14
Beach Sprint. I thank all competitors who attended this event
and their parents it was a big two days and it would not be
possible if it weren’t for the hard work put in behind the scenes
by our Club Competition Director Peter Moyle, thank you to
Peter and his team.
A special thanks to our Coaches, Officials, Water Safety
members and Education team; without your help we would not
be able to send so many kids to carnivals or run our Sunday
nippers. Looking back we have once again excelled in surf
sports and education at North Cronulla. It’s great to see so
many children achieving awards in both areas of surf lifesaving.
Parents I ask you all to consider assisting us next season by
completing or updating your bronze medallion, or putting your
hand up to become an official. These jobs will always put you in
the best seat in the house!
To the North Cronulla Board of Directors thank you for your
support and guidance that you have shown me this season. To
the Nipper Committee, I thank you all for your hard work and
dedication to our section of the club. It has made our job on the
Nipper Executive so much easier.
Last, but not least, I leave my final thanks to Brook and Barb.
Your help and drive in making North Cronulla Nippers a great
success is what being a part of a surf club is all about and I
couldn’t have done this job without you.

JAG Secretary’s Report
Nipper Team Manager’s Report
IT WAS MY PRIVILEGE TO BE PART OF
THE NORTH CRONULLA JAG DURING OUR
NIPPERS 50TH ANNIVERSARY YEAR.
THIS SEASON FOR NORTH
CRONULLA NIPPERS WAS
VERY CHALLENGING!!!
AND IT WAS ALL BECAUSE
OF ONE REASON.... BAD
WEATHER!!!
It was my first year in this role and stepping into Donna’s efficient
and energetic shoes provided many challenges but the rewards
were far greater.
We started off with our Squad Leader Information Night which
included visual presentations from various stakeholders in
Nippers to arm our Squad Leaders with as much information and
ideas for the season. By all accounts and feedback this night
was greatly appreciated.
Firstly, Sunday nippers was plagued with
big surf or flooding rain... But in true North
Cronulla spirit, we all banded together and
made the best of a bad situation. Sunday
nippers was cancelled twice and it was also moved twice to
Kurnell which proved to be a huge success and thoroughly
enjoyed by all involved. This is an activity which will be carried
on through next season.
The position of Squad Leader Manager was created and taken
on by Tracey Schriek, who also assumed the role of Team
Manager ably assisted by Dave Boggiss. This gave our Squad
Leaders a point of call for any assistance required and also input
into important issues regarding carnival participation.
We also introduced a new carnival entry system whereby parents
could enter their child directly via the SLS Payment Gateway and
forward their receipt to me. This really streamlined the process
and assisted me to provide the office with a competitors list fully
paid for and up to date. Thanks to all the parents who embraced
this process.
Again the weather challenged our smooth running of the season,
interrupting weekly Nippers, carnivals and important events.
However, we battled on and saw the introduction of “Sunday
Nippers at Kurnell” when the surf conditions were dangerous.
This was a great initiative by Brook Fleming and the nippers loved
the fun and different approach to their usual Sunday routine.
Our 50th Anniversary celebrations were wonderful and
the committee who put the event together deserve huge
congratulations. It was a terrific night and all the speeches were
interesting and motivating. I continue to be inspired by our Patron
Warren Rennie and all our Club volunteers both junior and senior
with their dedication to North Cronulla and surf lifesaving.
It was another proud moment when our Under 14s group
graduated to become Junior Lifesavers and attain their Surf
Rescue Certificates. These young men and women were
provided with information sessions on their patrol responsibilities
and also the many future directions they can choose within the
Club. Thank you to those trainers led by Jason Gollan who made
this possible for them and our Club Captain Jamie Primmer who
organized many of the events. The group also enjoyed their tour
to Queensland plus a graduation breakfast at the conclusion of
the season which gave them some additional guidance for their
transition into the seniors.
The Australia Day Ironperson Classic was marred by dangerous
surf and eventually had to be relocated to Cronulla during the
event. However, this did not dampen the enthusiasm of the
competitors and many returned to the Nipper area for the
presentation. With the generous sponsorship of Rip Curl plus the
prizes sourced by our dedicated Under 13 Fundraising Group,
this carnival is building up a reputation as one not to be missed.
82
Not only did we provide prizes for 1st to 6th, but also a lucky
door prize for each age group both male and female.
The other major event our Committee was heavily involved in
was the Bate Bay 4-Way Carnival. This was directed by North
Cronulla & Cronulla with both clubs attending many preparation
meetings working extremely well as a unit to present a terrific
carnival.
A special thank you to our Officials led by Tony Hughes, Water
Safety members led by Richard Roja and the IRB section led by
Kane Hughes. Without their help our own carnivals and those
we participate in would not be possible.
On behalf of the Nippers I would also like to extend our
gratitude to our coaches Geoff Budd, Tracey Schriek, Brook
Fleming, Stewart Cameron Damien Bulian and Bernie Staunton
(Education) – the children and parents appreciate all those hours
that you put in.
My sincere gratitude is extended to all those who assisted me in
the role of Secretary especially my family, Donna, Brook, Kevin,
Lisa, Carmel, Sheridan and Glenn Marie. It is not possible to
name everyone but you know who you are.
North Cronulla Nippers are in excellent hands with our dedicated
and hardworking Director Donna Hargreaves and Deputy Director
Brook Fleming along with their enthusiastic committee team, but
they still need more help from you the parents to implement and
continue their program.
Secondly, the Ohana carnival was scheduled to be run on three
separate Saturdays and was cancelled on each occasion.
The water events at Sydney branch carnival (excluding all age
board relay) were also cancelled. And just when we thought it
couldn’t happen again, we all made the trek North to Umina
Beach for the NSW state titles and the surf was HUGE!!! We
couldn’t believe it could happen three years in a row, but again
we all worked together to support the kids and one another to
make state titles an enjoyable event.
The results this season as always were outstanding.
Congratulations to Leo Nosatti, Connor Flanagan, Alex
Rampoldi and Zac Roja on their selection in the Sydney Branch
Representative team.
As always, there were many great results at state titles and
I am very proud of the way all the North Cronulla nippers
conducted themselves in very trying conditions.
The stand out performance for me was the Gold Medal victory
at state titles in the all age board relay. This event has never
been won by a Sydney Branch team at the state titles and it
was a great way to finish off the carnival. To Toby Byron, Cruz
McKee, Ryan McGrath, Mitchell O’Loughlin, Zac Roja and Leo
Nosatti, congratulations on an inspiring victory!!!
Thank you to all the officials, water safety, squad leaders and
parents for making this season and enjoyable and successful
one..
See you all next season..
Tracey Schriek
Team Manager
I urge you to think about how you can participate in this great
historic club which is now in its 90th year!

Junior Club Captain Reports
THIS PAST SEASON HAS BEEN AN INCREDIBLE
TIME FOR THE NORTH CRONULLA NIPPERS.
TOGETHER WE HAVE COMMEMORATED OUR 50TH
ANNIVERSARY; INTRODUCED OVER 40 NEW SRC’S
TO PATROL OUR BEACH; CELEBRATED AMAZING
LIFESAVING AND SPORTING ACHIEVEMENTS AND
OF COURSE WELCOMED MANY NEW MEMBERS
TO OUR WONDERFUL NC FAMILY.
Our North Cronulla 50th anniversary of Nippers was an
incredible experience to be a part of. So many wonderful
moments and memories have been shared over those 50
years and I have felt extremely privileged to be a part of such
a significant milestone and event. For 50 years North Cronulla
has been teaching young children about surf safety and
survival. For me personally, North Cronulla has taught me
more about the community, mateship and the true meaning of
service to one another in nine years, than I think I will ever be
able to learn for the rest of my life.
Nippers have played a very prominent role in my life for a
long time now, for years my family and I have travelled to
the North Cronulla Surf Club to participate in Nippers. I have
thoroughly enjoyed every moment of my time spent there.
I have been fortunate enough to receive many amazing
opportunities throughout my career as a nipper. Some of the
most notable achievements include being the female junior
Club Captain and being selected as the Sydney Branch
Junior Lifesaver of the Year.
I have learnt so many things about myself and leadership
and helping others through these experiences, and I am
very grateful to North Cronulla for providing me with such
wonderful opportunities. I have made such special friends
throughout Nippers and these friendships will travel with me
to the senior section.
This year we have celebrated remarkable athlete successes;
we have travelled together to the State titles at Umina and there
CLUB CAPTAINS EMILY MAYTHERS AND DARBY THOMPSON
we achieved some impressive results but most importantly we
bonded as an NC team and family and we all came home with
countless wonderful stories and memories to share.
Although we had a great time away at Umina the renowned
beach certainly did live up to its previous form with tsunami
surf, rain, flooding, “wildlife warnings” and a whole lot of
walking for everyone to enjoy.
This season we have welcomed many new members to the
NC Nipper family and I am very grateful that I have received
the opportunity to assist and pass on my knowledge to the
younger age groups.
As Junior Club Captain, alongside Darby, we have been lucky
enough to be able to mentor and guide some of the younger
nippers. I have really loved being able to give back to this
wonderful club, although I do not think that I can ever fully
repay all the people who have encouraged and taught me over
the past memorable 9 years.
Finally, as a Nipper Club North Cronulla may not have the
biggest club house or the newest equipment or even the
best board shed, but as an NC family we have the biggest
hearts and at the end of the day we can win together, lose
together, have a smile on our face and still be more than willing
to come back and do it all again; because this club has the
most amazing people and together we make our Surf Club the
biggest and best club in the world!
Emily Maythers
WHAT A MAGNIFICENT SEASON WE HAVE
HAD! WE CELEBRATED 90 YEARS OF
NORTH CRONULLA SURF LIFESAVING,
50 YEARS OF NIPPERS, CAME 7TH AT
THE AGE STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS, AND
INTRODUCED NEW ARSENAL TO OUR
PATROLS. I AM GLAD THAT I COULD
EXPERIENCE EVERY SECOND OF IT!
This year, North Cronulla had its 90th Anniversary, with the
club beginning back in 1925. Celebratory festivities occurred
recently and over two days numerous members, both past
and present, united to reminisce. I was glad to be able to
participate in the celebrations of this historical event and
learn that in 90 years North Cronulla has conducted over
50 thousand patrols, 250 thousand hours and 13 thousand
rescues. This is a phenomenal effort.
This season, the Under 14’s received their Surf Rescue
Certificates. This means our nippers added over 40 new
patrol members to our Surf Life Saving roster. This should
be the goal of all nippers, to obtain education and surf
awareness in order to protect the public on our muched
loved beach. This doesn’t come unrewarded as you meet,
bond and make friendships for life.
This year, I joined Patrol number 5. My patrol captain is Martin
Fulton, whose name I now know off by heart ( If only I had
remembered that at the Lifesaver of the Year interview! ). I have
done over 40 hours on patrol and I enjoyed all 144 thousand
seconds of it. My patrol is full of a lot of nice people who I
can easily get along with. Every patrol we go roving down the
beach, or take watch from the patrol tower. When we take our
breaks, we jump in the surf for a swim, paddle boards or get
hot chips. Surf life saving is something that is fun, educational
and extremely rewarding in the event a life is saved.
Can you believe the Surf Life Saving Gods were not smiling
upon us again for the 3rd year straight at the Age State
Championships at Umina? Despite the huge surf, the waiting,
and the long treks up and down the beach, we still had a great
time. Congratulations to all the medal winners and to everyone
who participated and gave it their best shot. A special mention
to the Under 14 boys, fantastic result placing in the top 5 for
every event they participated in. This success in part can be
attributed to our early training as young nippers and being
taken to the cans and out of our comfort zone by one crazy
squad leader…
The highlight of my year was definitely the Under 14’s
Queensland Trip. It was a great way of bringing the group
closer together. This is the event everyone should look forward
to towards the end of their nipper experience. I’d like to
thank everyone who helped with fundraising for that event,
particularly Carmel Lewis, and the chaperones that went
along with us. Fun was had by everyone with the expected
84
frivolity initiated by the usual suspects. No harm done and
no limbs lost, except for the mannequin’s (those on tour will
understand).
I’d like to thank all the squad leaders, parents, coaches and
people behind the scenes. Without you, nippers just wouldn’t
be the same. The hard work you have done for North Cronulla
is fantastic and greatly appreciated.
To the nippers, I hope you have made lifelong friends, learned
to take responsibility and most importantly, learned to save
lives. You are the future lifesavers of North Cronulla.
Finally, to Elizabeth Smith, Jack Vrazalica, Daisy Waugh and
Michael DeFrancesco, as next season’s junior club captains
and vice captains, I wish you the best on your journey. Take
good care of the club and the nippers.
Go North Cronulla!

The funds were provided under a grant provided by NSW
Government, Department of Sport and Recreation under the
2013 – 2014 Surf Club Facility Grant Program and we once
again we thank the Member for Cronulla Mark Speakman SC
MP and NSW Government for their support of this important
infrastructure project at our club.
The main ball room and kitchen have been completed and
special thanks to our supports, members and sponsors who
provided their services and valued assistance:
BOFELECTRIX (Michael Bofinger) – Electrical work
STREATER PLUMBING (Geoff Streater) – Plumbing work
2 BARROWS (Paul Moses) – Bench Top
MELMAC INTERIORS (Mal Robertson) – Cupboards & kitchen
fit out
Ladies Committee Report
REMONDIS – Garbage disposal
TRIPLE X STAINLESS STEEL – Custom stainless steel
benches
A NEW SEASON WITH SOME NEW
TEAM MEMBERS, SOME NEW IDEAS,
SOME NEW PLANS, SOME NEW
INITIATIVES AND MOST OF ALL A NEW
KITCHEN BUT STILL ALL INTERWOVEN
WITH TRADITION AND PURPOSE.
Whilst the committee may be new we still welcome the skills
and knowledge of Ladies Committee stalwarts Shirley Cameron,
Betty Brown, Betty Rees, and a few other lovely ladies who are
always there with the right intent and support.
We have provided meals and support on a number of special
occasions and of course at the regular carnivals hosted at North
Cronulla and will always be a part of the club there largely behind
the scene but still there to do a job and of course do it well.
We are trying to be ‘One Strong Team’ so I please ask for the
support of all involved to be a part of the One Team rather than
create mini teams within as these just facture what we have and
create unnecessary tension which just serves no purpose and
helps no one.
We are looking to remain as a strong supporting section within
this proud club and always open to new members who like a

There was a dedicated crew of club members who helped with
the kitchen removal, carpet removal, wood work, bar work and
moving equipment into the room and I hoped they enjoyed the
experience because at times there was more laughter and good
humor banter than actual work performed.
LADIES COMMITTEE MEMBERS AT 90TH ANNIVERSARY
chat and willing to lend a hand on those hectic days.
The timing of the work schedule for Stage 2 is under review and
will require feedback from Sutherland Shire Council on what can
be achieved and a formal opening will be announced once that
information is confirmed.
Early days but good days ahead where all nice people are always
welcome, and I would also like to thank all the Ladies committee
as well as Sheridan and Glen Maree who are always there to help
me carry up the supplies thanks for all the constructive feedback
and appreciation as it is always appreciated.
The Harry Brown Room has held many club and private
functions with great success over the last 12 months and is
generating rental revenue for the club and I hope the members
and sponsors involved with the project are proud of the overall
result so far.
Warm regards,

Project Phoenix
NORTH CRONULLA SURF LIFE
SAVING CLUB INC. GEAR COMPLEX
REDEVELOPMENT. (REDEVELOPMENT OF
EXISTING CLUB GEAR COMPLEX, CLUB
AND COUNCIL FACILITIES AND CAFÉ)
The proposed redevelopment of North Cronulla SLSC gear
complex, club and council facilities and existing café has been
around for many years and gone through several different
designs, proposals and ideas without any real success or
progress of construction activities.
The current gear complex is now running at capacity and
there are issues with the safe storage of existing club and
council life-saving equipment and competition equipment for
all sections of the club. As the club continues to grow and
expand our passive and active storage requirements, we need
provide updated facilities for male and female club members
and provide new and updated facilities to perform training and
education of our club members, these cannot be provided
in the existing three story surf club building and therefore the
redevelopment of the gear complex is critical for the club to
accommodate these changes and allow the Club to grow and
develop over the next 50 to 100 years.
The redevelopment will have allowance for commercial floor
space that will provide the club with a revenue stream based on
the consent conditions outlined and approved in Sutherland Shire
Council - North Cronulla SLSC Management Plan. This revenue
stream will be critical to the future and ongoing development of
the Club and will provide Club Board of Directors with the ability
to provide funds to help fund our commitment to our members
and the community to provide equipment for Life Saving and
Patrols on North Cronulla beach, competition equipment and
training and education equipment and facilities for our members.
Last year the Board of Directors approved the engagement of
Bergstrom Architects for the development of a Master Concept
Plan for the redevelopment. These plans are finalized, approved
and have been used in all correspondence with the Club and
Sutherland Shire Council and will form the base for any work
associated with moving the project through various phases to
approved Development Application stage.
In September 2014, the Assistant Minister for Infrastructure, the
Hon Jamie Briggs approved the funding of up to $100,000 ex
GST under the Community Development Grants program to the
North Cronulla Surf Life Saving Club Inc. for the North Cronulla
Surf Life Saving Club – Upgrade of facilities project (Project
Phoenix). These funds are to be used for Project Phoenix: North
Cronulla Surf Life Saving Club Inc. Gear Complex Redevelopment
(Redevelopment of existing club gear complex, club and
council facilities and café) Planning Phase as per the terms and
conditions of the funding agreement and associated schedules.
96
A Special General Meeting was held on Sunday 9th November
2014 and two motions were voted upon our membership and
approval was granted to continue with the development process.
These motions approved the overall development project and
the expenditure of funds for the engagement of suitable qualified
professional organisations for the planning, design, creation of
Development Application and a Construction Certificate required
to bring Project Phoenix ( Redevelopment of existing club gear
complex, club and council facilities and café) to an approved
development stage as per Sutherland Shire Council development
application process or associated process if referred to NSW
Government Joint Regional Planning Panel.
Sutherland Shire Council has engaged external companies to
perform a Building Code of Australia Compliance Assessment
Report and DDA Audit report on the surf club buildings and also
a building condition report. These have highlighted major issues
with the condition of the existing buildings and estimated costs
of $1.2 Million to make the building code complaint and address
major maintenance and building faults. Over the May and June
months, the Council has been working on making repairs and
painting the internal walls, windows and door of the surf club and
we are very appreciative of these work activities.
In January 2015, a presentation was made by Club members to
the Sutherland Shire Council Special Infrastructure Project and
Work Committee to outline our Club history, Project Phoenix
overview, financial update, review master concept plans and
outline council support required for the project and questions and
answer session at end of the meeting.
An outcome of the meeting was the establishment of a Council
Working Party and the first meeting was held in February 2015
and representatives from Council, Councilors and Club members
and worked through a set agenda and tour of the club and
proposed area of development. Several action items were
discussed at the meeting and these were adopted at the next
meeting of the Council.
A Pre Application Development (PAD) meeting was held in
March 2015 and report supplied to the Club and we will engage
with suitable qualified professionals to discuss and resolve the
items listed in the report. Another outcome of this report was
a recommendation to meet for a pre DA ARAP (Architectural
Review Advisory Panel) and that meeting will be arranged shortly.
Another item raised at the PAD meeting was the influence of
our construction zone on the proposed North Cronulla Sea
Wall and that will require further investigation from Council
officers and reported back to Council for review. A report has
been supplied to Sutherland Shire Council for review and
consideration with one of the main objectives is to combine the
three projects of North Cronulla SLSC Project Phoenix, North
Cronulla Sea Wall construction and Dunningham Park Upgrade
into a single Plan of Management for the precinct. At time of
writing this report the Council had not held the Council meeting
considered the report and recommendations contained.
The project is progressing and moving forward and is critical
to the future of North Cronulla Surf Life Saving Club and our
current and future members – There is no second place here,
it must be delivered!
Club Historian’s Report
WITH THE GROWTH IN MEMBERSHIP, WE NOW HAVE
UP TO 1200 MEMBERS, AND THIS IS BECOMING A
MAJOR PROPOSITION KEEPING ON LINE WITH THE
ACTIVITIES AND ACTIONS OF EVERY MEMBER FROM
THE YOUNGEST JAG MEMBER AND AS FAR UP TO
OUR RESPECTED PATRON.
The progressive advancement in the Club, over the past year
under the leadership of our President, towards the future, has
been nothing short of amazing, and he and his committee are to
be congratulated. If everything goes to plan, then the Club as we
know it today, should be free of never ending financial problems,
providing better facilities to us the members.
The success once again goes to show that we are the leading
Surf Club in the Bate Bay (originally called Whale Bay) area.
Congratulations to all our competitors in Interclub, Sydney, State
and Australian Championships, above all we can hold our heads
high when we carry out our community service to the public by
patrolling the beach.
Wednesday mornings are again a hive of activity, and I am most
grateful to Darien Fleming, Margaret Sorensen, Shirley Cameron,
Beth Boggiss, “Mr Reliable” Billy Bofinger, and now a new comer
Bob Hanson who has offered to carry out an inventory of the
increasing amount of memorabilia artifacts we are collecting.
May I take this opportunity to request members, if they have any
Club bits and pieces that may be past their use by date, then the
Club would greatly appreciate these items.
One of the tasks, fallen upon our group, has been the
nomination of members towards their SLSA Service Awards,
these Awards are calculated from the Annual Reports which
are recorded at our Annual General Meeting to be a true and
correct record over the past year. Your name is listed in there
as a financial member, and we rely on these records relating to
the number of years you have been a financial member, and
then we submit your name to the Management Committee for
their approval.
If you have any enquiries in regard to your membership, or
would like a print out of your time in the Club, please contact
us any Wednesday morning.
My gratitude and appreciation is recorded to their most
co-operative guidance and assistance we receive from our
office staff Sheridan and Glenn-Marie, it is a pleasure to
work with them.
Finally congratulations to the organisers of the 90th Reunion
celebrations. It proved to be an outstanding success and a
thank you to Rebecca Blue who personally assisted me with
the display of artifacts.

Arthur West
A member during the 1940-50
period of the Surf Club and it was
at this time during the 2nd World
War that membership of the Club
was virtually restricted to people in
“reserved occupations” working on
the “war effort”, and it was people
like Arthur who did the patrols and
kept the Club functioning.
After the war, Arthur married a local
girl he met through the Surf Club
and lived in a garage on his block
of land whilst building their home.
Maintaining an interest in all things
related to North Cronulla.
When the Oil Refinery was being built
at Kurnell he commenced work there,
along with many other Club members,
remaining there until his retirement
and in later years did not enjoy the
best of health.
Ernest K (Ike) Smith
It is with deep regret that I record the passing of our longest
serving Life Member on 1st May, 2015. A very highly respected
member, who was responsible to bring the first Australian Junior
Surf Boat Championship to North Cronulla. Always a fearless
competitor, many of our older Club members will recall his
approach (in true pirate style) to our parent Club Cronulla’s boat
crew sweep, to sort out an incident during a heat in the InterClub
competition.
Small in stature but big in heart, his early trade as a Moulder
working in a foundry contributed to his physic, having strong
arms and a well developed chest. Away from the Club, Ikie
lead a quiet life caring for his Mother and later on for his Aunt,
he moved to Cronulla living a reclusive life style but still could
be found walking the promenade of a morning. He also found
enjoyment with his weekender down the south coast fishing.
Ernest was farewelled by a private family funeral, and the Club
was unable to give the respect to the service he gave to North
Cronulla Surf Club.
Sleep well dear friend, you will be missed by many.
Lennie (Lenny) Raper
Past Active Member, whose antics kept many members
amused, but his passion was for March Past and coaching many
successful March Past teams. He moved to Queensland and
joined Tugun Surf Club coaching their March Past teams. He
lived a semi reclusive life but was always enthusiastic about the
progress of North Cronulla, seeking the club members company
when the Club visited Queensland for the Aussies. Lennie’s loss
will be a blow to popular past member Freddy Hill who at all
times kept an eye on Lennie’s welfare.

Peter was suddenly taken from us on 5th May, 2015. He
joined this Club in 1956 and gained his bronze medallion.
In his early years he swam and competed for the Club in
Interclub competition that was held annually by the 4 Bate
Bay Surf Clubs. The rivalry was intense in those early years as
the 4 Clubs were the strongest competitively in Australia. To
make the 12 a side surf relay was an achievement on its own.

Marc was tragically killed in a road accident on 19 December
2014 aged just 26. Marc joined North Cronulla Nippers in the
Under 6’s in 1993 and he went on to become a champion
beach sprinter who was selected in many Branch and State
teams, he was named Sydney Branch U17 Athlete of the Year
in 2006. Marc moved to Wanda where he won the elusive
Australian Gold Medal.
Anyone who met Marc knows he had a BIG personality. He’d
make us all laugh with his vibrant and cheeky personality. His
antics would sometimes rub those in authority up the wrong way.
However, it was hard not to forgive his larrikin spirit. His many
friends at North Cronulla and Wanda surf clubs will miss him
dearly. Gone far too soon.
Peter was highly regarded as a North Cronulla member. He
was a floor and wall tiler by trade and at 75 years of age
was still working, until he passed away. He volunteered to
do maintenance work on our Club swimming pool over the
years and any other tiling maintenance job in the Club when
required. Our Club will forever be indebted to him for his
generous support.
He was a popular member of the Gymnasium Show Ponies
for 25 years, doing gym workouts with all his mates. He will
be sadly missed but never forgotten by this Club and the
members that were lucky enough to have known him.

The incorporated association has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting
Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that
are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory
have not been early adopted.
Basis of preparation
In the officers' opinion, the incorporated association is not a reporting entity because there are no
users dependent on general purpose financial statements.
These are special purpose financial statements that have been prepared for the purposes of
complying with the New South Wales legislation the Associations Incorporation Act 2009, the
Charitable Fundraising Act 1991 and associated regulations. The officers have determined that the
accounting policies adopted are appropriate to meet the needs of the members of North Cronulla
Surf Life Saving Club Incorporated.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and
measurement requirements specified by the Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations
issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the disclosure requirements of
AASB 101 'Presentation of Financial Statements', AASB 107 'Statement of Cash Flows', AASB 108
'Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors', AASB 1031 'Materiality', AASB
1054 'Australian Additional Disclosures' and AASB 1048 'Interpretation and Application of
Standards', as appropriate for not-for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements do not
conform with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board ('IASB').
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates.
It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the incorporated
association's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity,
or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed
in note 2.

ABN 16 613 859 423
ABN 16 613 859 423
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historic costs and
does not take into account changing money values or, except where specifically stated, current
valuations of non-current assets.
Inventories
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistent with the previous period unless
otherwise stated, have been adopted in the preparation of this financial report.
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs are assigned on a
first-in first-out basis.

consideration received or receivable.
Donations
Donations are recognised at the time the pledge is made.
Grants
Grants are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will
be received and all attached conditions will be complied with.
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a
method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over
the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts
estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying
amount of the financial asset.
Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
Accounts receivable are recognised initially at the transaction price (i.e. cost) and are subsequently
measured at cost less provision for impairment. Receivables expected to be collected within 12
months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are
classified as non-current assets.
At the end of each reporting period, the carrying amount of accounts receivable and other
receivables are reviewed to determine whether there is any objective evidence that the amounts are
not recoverable. If so, an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the income and expenditure
statement.
Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE)
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumalted depreciation and impairment.
Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the aquisition of the items.
Leasehold improvements and office equipment are carried at cost less, where applicable, any
accumulated depreciation and impairment.
Leasehold improvements are amortised over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease
or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.
Depreciation
Income Tax
Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property,
plant & equipment over the useful life as follows:
As the incorporated association is a charitable institution in terms of subsection 50-5 of the Income
Tax Assessment Act 1997, as amended, it is exempt from paying income tax.
Class of Fixed Asset
Office Equipment
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at-call with banks, other short-term
highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertable
to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Page 8
116
Useful Life
3-5 Years
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if
appropriate, at each reporting date. An item of property, plant & equipment is derecognised upon
disposal of when there is no future economic benefits to the association. Gains and losses between
the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss.

ABN 16 613 859 423
Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
Non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the
amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use. The
value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a
pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating
unit.
Trade and Other Payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the incorporated association
prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are
measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually
paid within 30 days of recognition.
2
Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management
continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent
liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions
on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events,
management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting
judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates
and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
The incorporated association determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and
amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The
useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event The
depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously
estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold
will be written off or written down.
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the
amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances,
the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the
expense. Receivables and payables in the Statement of Financial Position are shown inclusive of
GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable or payable to the Australian Taxation Office is included in other
receivables of other payables in the Statement of Financial Position. Cash flows are presented on a
gross basis.
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early
adopted
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but
are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the incorporated association for the annual
reporting period ended 30 April 2014. The incorporated association has not yet assessed the impact
of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.
