Patron’s Foreword
It gives me great pleasure to present this Foreword for the
88th Annual Report of the North Cronulla Surf life Saving
Club for the Season 2012-2013.
This season has been an outstanding one for our Club
when you measure our accomplishments in the areas of
Lifesaving, Education, Competition, Administration and
Finance.
To be able to state that “No Lives were Lost” whilst
Patrols were on duty should never be understated. It is the
cornerstone of our existence. I congratulate our Patrol
Captains for their dedicated service and outstanding
leadership and as well, to all our Patrolling Members, I
salute you all for your incredible efforts. Our performance
was highlighted by the outstanding rescue and saving of
life performed by Lauchie Davis and Jye Highfield detailed
further in this Report. These two young Lifesavers truly
reflected our motto “Vigilance and Service”. I also wish
to pay tribute to Amanda Duran, who accomplished 10
years of 100% Patrol Attendance and to Darren Thorne
who has now accomplished an incredible 18 years service.
There can be no doubt this excellent Lifesaving
performance has been supported by an outstanding
Education Department. These Members are dedicated
people who work behind the scenes – educating our
Members of all ages and levels to achieve our Club’s pursuit
of Lifesaving excellence.
The lifeblood of our Club no doubt is our Membership
and our Club’s performance relies heavily on the quality
of our Members. I believe this season we are continuing
to ride on the crest of a wave in all our active areas. Those
present at our “Blue and Gold Gala Presentation Evening”
were so impressed not only by the quantity of Awards, but
by their quality in Lifesaving, Competition and Club service.
It is so fulfilling to see the positive growth in our Youth
Development including our Nipper Section, who again
are providing for our Club – an exciting future.
Our performance in Competition continues to excel and
I congratulate all our Members for wearing the mighty
“Blue & Gold Cap” of our great Club at carnivals and
Championships. Our Members continue to place North
Cronulla at a level where other Clubs recognise we are
now a force to be reckoned with. Our Club is represented
in many different facets and it is to our great credit we
have reached this stage including the outstanding IRB
Group. I was so proud of our Members in winning the
coveted “William Marshall Trophy” for Interclub
Competition. It has been a long time since we last won
the Interclub and all our Members must be congratulated
for such a sterling effort.
Our Club salutes our Australian Champions – Rory
Jenkins, Oliver Hoare and our Under-15 Surf Team
Members – Lochie Davis, Lachlan Moyle, Joel Walker and
Chris Hoare. Congratulations is extended to our excellent
Coaching Staff, there is no doubt our Club has some of
the finest Coaches in the land and we are most grateful to
them.
Financially, our Club is quite healthy and we are well
placed to develop a number of strategies that will allow us
to be independently healthy for the years to come. We
acknowledge the value that our Sponsors and supporters
bring to our Club, because without their excellent support
the conduct of our operations would be quite difficult.
Likewise our Club appreciates the support we have again
received from the Sutherland Shire Council through our
on and off beach operations and we will look forward to
Warren Rennie AM, Patron
the Council’s continued support in the near future in
developing the public area adjacent to our Clubhouse.
A challenge our Members must face is to raise funds.
Fundraising, whilst appearing tedious, delivers the much
needed funds that allow our Club to underpin financially
the support of our Membership.
I wish to recognise our Members who have distinguished
themselves by providing magnificent service to our Club
in being awarded our “Most Prestigious Trophies”. To our
Education and Training Director Jason Gollan – awarded
the “Mario Peryman Memorial Trophy” for Outstanding
Lifesaving and to our Finance Director Ben Smollett –
awarded the “C. N. Rees Memorial Trophy” for being
the Most Outstanding Clubman. I pay tribute to you both
for your dedication. Your effort this season has gone a
long way towards our Club’s success.
Likewise, I wish to congratulate Steve Swane and Don
McGroder on being the recipients of this season’s “Patrons
Award” for dedicated service over a long period of time
and to Joel Eaton for being awarded the “Tom Payne
Memorial Grant” – providing assistance to the Club’s IRB
objectives.
This year we were saddened by the loss of a number of
Members and our Club offers our deepest sympathies to
their families. We remember Carol Swane, a former
Treasurer and wife of Steve, former Club Captain Terry
Trevillian, 50 Year Member Ron Sawyer, George Thatcher
and Barbara Shirley, former Ladies Committee Member
and wife of Ray.
This season we were blessed with an outstanding Board
of Directors. Led by our President Craig McKinniery, this
team receives a big tick of approval on their control of all
facets of our operation, from Lifesaving through to
Administration and Finance control. As well, they have
presided over a happy club a most significant factor towards
the success of this season.
Our Club undoubtedly will face many challenges as any
thriving organisation. These will be financial as well as
Member support and the challenge of Lifesaving growth.
We need to investigate where our potential profit centres
are, both in our Clubhouse and surrounding areas, to create
opportunities for income as well as the investment in
developing the Public Dressing Complex. The Greenhills
Beach Development is growing by the day. Our District
needs to address the protection of the public before others
will. I commend this excellent Annual Report to you.

President’s Report
On behalf of the Board of Directors of North Cronulla
Surf Life Saving Club Incorporated, it gives me great
pleasure to submit for your consideration and adoption
the 88th Annual Report and Financial Statements for
Season 2012-2013.
The Financial Statements contained in this Report have
been prepared by our Finance Director, Ben Smollett and
audited by BDO Chartered Accountants.
I am extremely proud to report on behalf of our
membership that “No Lives Were Lost” at North Cronulla
beach during the 2012 to 2013 patrol season.
Congratulations to all Members of the Club who
volunteered their time to perform Patrols throughout the
season and to help achieve this result.
The season was full of challenges for our new Executive,
Board of Directors and the overall Club Membership –
but they all rose to the occasion, took on additional duties
as required and achieved pleasing results across all of the
key functions within the Surf Club operations and areas
of responsibility.
This season saw the development of a Club Management
Plan (CMP) that will run for the next three seasons. The
Mission Statement of the CMP is: To provide a safe,
enjoyable, inclusive, family orientated environment
delivering quality Volunteer Lifesaving, Competition
and Education services and facilities to our Members
and the Community
The CMP is a dynamic and living plan based on six key
functions of Surf Life Saving and Patrols, Training and
Education, Competition (Surf Sports), Finance and
Administration, Member Services and Community that can
be updated, modified, adjusted and continually developed
based on the both internal and external factors, events
and pressures applied on the day to day operational of
our Surf Club and its governing bodies.
Page 6
The major asset of our Club is its Members and this
year is no exception to this statement. At the “Annual
Blue & Gold Gala Presentation Night” – which was run
under a new format and was an excellent night. We saw
our Club Members honoured by the peers as recipients of
the Club’s Most Prestigious Awards:
Ben Smollet – “C.N. Rees Memorial Trophy” – Most
Outstanding Club Member of the Year.
Jason Gallon – “Mario Peryman Memorial Trophy” –
Lifesaver of the Year.
Joel Eaton – “Tom Payne Memorial Grant” –
Outstanding contribution to a specific Club area.
Our Nipper Section under the direction of Michelle
Sheldon and her team, had a very challenging but
rewarding year. The overall membership numbers were
slightly down on previous seasons and the surf conditions
at nor mal Sunday events and NSW Age State
Championship were not ideal for learning, development
and increasing their competition skills of our future
Lifesavers.
The number of Surf Rescue Certificates awarded at
beginning of the year was a great result with over 50 SRCs
awarded to our Under-14 Nippers – who are our future
Lifesavers and we will have next season a similar number
of Nipper Members gaining their first SLSA Award.
To all Nipper Members who officiated and provided
education as part of SLS Sydney Board of Junior
Development activities – thank you for your time and effort
and to our Members who performed Water Safety at
carnivals and our Sunday events – your efforts are greatly
appreciated by the Club.
As mentioned before, we have introduced a Club
Management Plan and these are some of the highlights of
each area for the season past.
Surf Life Saving & Patrols
The Members of North Cronulla Surf Life Saving Club
recorded the following activities during Patrol Season:
• Performed approximately 13,000 Volunteer Patrol
hours across 14 Rostered Patrols
• Recorded 107 Rescues
• Involved in over 2000 Preventative Actions
• Attended to 188 First Aid cases
• Looked after 24 lost children.
The number of recorded Rescues and Preventative Actions
are trending below three year average and this was due to
improved Patrol and Beach Management skills and the
increase in the number of days the beach was closed due
to dangerous surf conditions.
This year we had an increase in Members who gained
their 100 % Patrol Attendance and 12 of these Members
achieved over 100 hours of Patrol Duty and one Club
Member achieved 187 hours of Patrol Duty on our beach.
Overall, this highlights the dedication of our Members to
their core duty which is Surf Life Saving and performing
Patrols.
To all of our Patrol Captains, Vice Patrol Captains, IRB
Drivers and Crew and patrolling Members –
congratulations of another season of keeping the surfing
public safe and thank you for your time and effort in
maintaining high standards of Patrol Duties
These efforts were recognised at the Annual SLS Sydney
Awards of Excellence – with Members of North Cronulla
awarded the “Under-15 Life Saver” – two successful
Branch nominations “Rescue of the Month” for November
2012 and January 2013 – and won the “Patrol Efficiency
Competition” for the Bate Bay area.
Training & Education:
Under the leadership and guidance of Jason Gallon, our
Director of Training and Education, his team of Trainers
and our Club Members achieved the following:
• 54 Surf Rescue Certificates
• 63 Bronze Medallions
• 2 Gold Medallions
• 11 Silver Medallion Beach Management
• 11 IRB Crew Certificate
• 32 Advanced Resuscitation Certificates
• Numerous Specialised Awards
• 6 New qualified Training Officers for BM, ATRC, Spinal
and IRB
• 2 new Bronze Medallion Assessors.
The target for the Team this year was to deliver quality
training and produce high calibre candidates rather than
quantity. The standard of our candidates were of the
highest level and testament to the quality of our Trainers
and their training methods.
This gave us a total of 207 Awards and that was the
highest for the Bate Bay area Surf Clubs and placed us
fifth in the overall Branch standings. The achievements of
Jason were recognised at the SLS Sydney Awards of
Excellence with a “High Commendation for Training
Officer of the Year”.
Competition (Surf Sports)
On the Surf Sports area, our Club Members enjoyed a
very good season and delivered great results at
International, National, State, Branch and local carnivals.
Results at the major championship carnivals were:
• 9th Australian Open Championships
• 3rd New South Wales Open Championships
• 7th New South Wales Age Championships
• 2nd Surf Life Saving Sydney Branch Championships
• 1st Bate Bay Interclub (“Bill Marshall Trophy”)
Congratulations to our Club Members who made the
following Australian and NSW Representative Teams:
• Australian Under-21 Development Team – Japan:
William Budd
• New South Wales Interstate Team: Lachlan Moyle
• New South Wales High Performance IRB Team:
Joel Eaton (Captain) and Kane Hughes
• Surf Life Saving Sydney Branch Team:
Will Budd, Lara Moses, Cameron Scott, Alex Budd
Lachlan Moyle, Lochie Davis and Kira Hood
Hailey Blatchford, Alex Rapoldi, Connor Flanagan
and Leo Nosatti from our Nipper Section.
The results of our Team and individual competitors cannot
be achieved without the support and guidance of our
Section Leaders, Section Coaches and Club Head Coach.
I know you all love our sport of Surf Life Saving and
watching our competitors grow in confidence and skills
over the season – is certainly a great reward for all of your
efforts.
During the season, our Club Captain Jamie Primmer
and his Team successfully held the North Cronulla
Christmas Carnival – which has been running for over 30
years – the Annual Bate Bay Interclub Carnival, Australia
Day Nipper Iron Person Classic and co-hosted the Nipper
4-Way Carnival.
We now have a strong IRB Team, who compete regularly
during the winter season at all levels of IRB Competition
and this is leading to increase Members in this Section to
The Holt IRB Launch.
perform Patrols and development of good base of Drivers
and Crew persons for future Patrols.
To our 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.
One area of concern was the lack of a dedicated
Competition Director during the season and I thank Geoff
Budd our Deputy President, who stood in the role for a
short period. Alternate strategies were implemented by
our Club Captain and other Executive Members to cover
this issue and the above results prove these measures
worked.
Finance and Administration
We embarked on a successful upgrade of our Club IT
Environment, including new email platform, Office
software and upgrades to Club Membership and
Accounting Software Packages. The Administration Office
furniture upgrade and fit-out was kindly donated by one
of our Club Sponsors and will continue through winter in
preparation for the new season.
The new Club Secretary – Tracey McKinniery,
introduced several major Administration changes this
season, including the Administration Office fit-out and
upgrade, improved the level and detail of communication
to our Membership, development of new job descriptions
for Club positions, created a new Club Calendar and
introduced a new format for our “Blue & Gold Gala
Presentation Night” that was very successful and enjoyed
by all who attended.
To our Finance Director – Ben Smollet, thank you for
another year of managing the Club financial affairs with
the high level of dedication, attention to detail and
responsible Financial Management. We are able to report
a small trading profit, accounts are paid, we funded
increased expenditure on Surf Life Saving equipment to
the standards and inventory required to provide our
community service of patrolling our beach. An objective
for next season is to improve and increase our Club
fundraising activities to cover the very large competition
expenditure including NSW State, Australian and general
carnival and competition expenses.
We are very fortunate to have several long term and
key Sponsors and supporters of North Cronulla SLSC and
their support is critical to allow us to provide the high level
of training services, equipment required for competition,
Life Saving and Patrol duties. To all of our Sponsors –
thank you for your continued support of the Club – and
your donations are greatly appreciated.

The Social Calendar was under review this season and
new events and activities were introduced to the social
benefit of Members and their families. Stephen Brown –
our Social Organiser worked tirelessly arranging and
managing Judd Room Bar roster and was supported by
the Club Section Leaders at various social events held
during the season. Towards the end of the season,
successful changes were made to Event and Bar timetables
that were well received by our Club Members and will
ensure we continue to socialise over the winter months.
There were two events this season that we need to
recognise the success of these and ensure they continue
as very important events on our Fundraising Calendar.
“NC Golf Day” – Critical Annual Fundraiser organised
and managed by Brook Fleming and Dave Waugh.
“Boaties Sportsmen Lunch” – held at Caringbah Tradies
in honour of Steve Swane – who has 50 Years of Service
in Senior and Open Competition – and the event was
organised by Liam Donohue and his team.
Our Ladies Committee lead by Julie Howell, once again
provided support at our major events including North
Cronulla Christmas Carnival, AGM, Gold Medal Winners
Night, IRB Launches, Sponsorship Breakfast and other
Social and Sponsorship events throughout the season.
The Club Ballroom kitchen will be renovated over the
next six months and this will increase the appeal and ability
of this room to support our own social activities and
generate income from rental of the facility.
Youth Development and Membership retention is critical
to the continued success of our Club and the development
of our young Members. Over the last few seasons, Lee
Howell with support from our Nipper Section, have
managed a series of events and overall program that is
delivering on its objectives.
There are great opportunities available to our young
Members at all levels of the Association and we must strive
to provide a safe and welcoming environment for our kids –
so they can be guided and develop into future Surf
Lifesavers, Competitors and valued Members of society.
“Project Phoenix” refers to the redevelopment of the
North Cronulla SLSC Gear Complex. This activity has
been around for several seasons in various formats and
designs and we have reached agreement upon a future
course of action. At present, we are engaging architects
and working on business case and plan for the
development. The Club will need to fund the initial stage
to cover the architect engagement, business case and plan,
concept designs, development application and construction
certificate and tender documentation. Depending upon
the time required by Sutherland Shire Council or Joint
Regional Planning Committee assessment of our plans,
this activity could take 18 months before we are ready to
Page 8
start construction. To fund this activity we need to
endeavour to save $60,000 to $75,000 over the next
two to three seasons to offset these costs.
Member Services
This function was covered by the Club Secretary and other
Club Officers and will be again in season 2013-2104.
A new director position will be created called Member
Services Director as part of the review of our constitution
currently underway and due for completion early 2014
and adoption at the 2014 AGM or at a Special General
Meeting.
Community
We continue of support our local community and business
owners at many different levels within the Club.
Our local Council Lifeguards use our heated pool and
Club facilities to provide Surf Awareness to hundreds of
local school children and provide learn to swim and water
awareness programs to children with learning disabilities.
Sutherland Shire Council and our local community
benefits from our Surf Life Saving – Patrolling and Training
and Education Activities – and we in turn greatly value their
support and maintenance of the Club buildings and
facilities.
There are many water and special events held at North
Cronulla Beach over a season and it requires support from
the Council and our Club Members – to ensure these are
run successfully and in partnership.
The “Cook Community Classic” held in November 2012
with participation from the local Bate Bay Surf Clubs and
local Community Organisations were involved in the event
and generated increased public awareness of the
capabilities and talents of our younger Nipper Members.
Our Club Members and Patrols perform over 13,000
Volunteer Patrols hours to keep our local community safe
at North Cronulla Beach and provided Beach Management
and messages to help educate the surfing public on the
dangers of the surf and awareness of the changing surf
conditions.
To the other Bate Bay Surf Life Saving Clubs – and on
behalf of all North Cronulla Members – I congratulate you
for another successful year of Competition, Training and
Education and preforming our core duty and responsibility
of Patrolling our great beaches. To the Executive Members
who are part of Cronulla Sutherland District Council, thank
you for your counsel this season and continued support of
our collective and individual objectives as Surf Life Saving
Clubs.
In the role as President – you are only as successful as
the Team supporting you. To our hard working Club
Executive consisting of Tracey, Ben, Geoff, Jamie and
Lee –thank you for your support and dedication to your
Club, your positions and our plan and direction for the
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 Life Saving
and upholding the mission statement and objectives of
our Club.
All our Members, both current and past, can be
extremely proud of our achievements this year, because it
once again reinforces that we are one of the Best Surf
Life Saving 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. See you back on the beach in Season
2013-2104. Yours in Surf Life Saving.
Craig McKinniery, President.
Although the results are not strong, but stable – they
reflect the continued hard work done by Section Leaders
and Members and the continued support of Sponsors for
all capital equipment purchases. I hope this work continues
and Members stay active in seeking out new Sponsorship
and fundraising opportunities – and also in ensuring we
continue to support our current Sponsors in every capacity
possible.
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 also wish to thank Sean Wright, Robin Gani and Chris
Allen from BDO for their assistance throughout the audit
process.
Finally, I believe the Board and I have again provided a
financially responsible set of Financial Statements for the
year ended 30th April 2013 – and I look forward to
contributing to a positive and successful 2014 year.
Ben Smollett, Finance Director.
Ben Smollett, Finance Director.
Finance Director’s Report
As Finance Director and on behalf of the Board of Directors
I am proud to present the 2012-2013 Audited Financial
Statements.
The Financial Statements show a profit of $3,804 for
the year (2012 $6,288).
Cash generated from operating activities during this
Financial Year of $77,287 – was invested in Capital
Equipment for Lifesaving, Clubhouse Assets and
Competition to value of $77,872. As such there has been
a minor increase in cash held of $4,326.
One key area I would like to direct your attention to, is
Club Revenue of $759,403 (2012 – $759,332).
This points out no increase in revenue for the 2013
financial year. With continual increases in building and
operational costs, we must be sure to work hard to increase
our revenue streams to ensure we can support the ever
increasing costs associated with operating a Surf Club.
These results indicate that although we carry the status
as a registered charity, it is constant challenge to obtain
new Sponsors and maintain current Club Sponsorship and
donation revenue. Members need to work hard supporting
our contributors to ensure we receive their continued
support.

Club Secretary’s Report
• A Volunteer in Administration who averaged 100 pieces
of correspondence per month.
In our Volunteer Organisation, there are many more
examples in addition to those listed that demonstrate that
as a volunteer – we do make a difference to the
community – volunteers change lives and in the case of
our institution we make a difference in that we can and do
save a life.
The Volunteer Movement is the most important
mechanism in this country for capturing the values of caring
and compassion and mateship and going the extra mile
and looking after one’s fellow Australian.
No better example of the caring, compassion and
mateship that we provide, was demonstrated on the final
day of the Patrol Season for 2012-2013. Whilst celebrating
the Annual “Bloody Slow Cup” results, sitting the in Judd
Room, by himself, reading a book and having a beer was
David Gingell – a tourist from England. David was in
Australia on a family holiday and felt it important to visit
North Cronulla to “have a beer” – why? Whilst previously
visiting Australia in 2008, David was rescued whilst
swimming at North Cronulla. By all accounts he was in
significant difficulties and as he recalls he “thought he was
gone”.
Tracey McKinniery, Club Secretary.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I present for your
consideration and adoption the 88th Annual Report and
Financial Statements of North Cronulla Surf Life Saving
Club for the Season 2012-2013.
Another season has come to an end and we now have
the opportunity to reflect on the achievements and in some
cases, the disappointments we experienced as a Club
during the past season.
I’m unsure how other Board Members feel, but in my
first year it feels like one continuous season.
Once again, we can say No Lives Lost during the
season. As a Surf Life Saving Club, we should never forget
that this is and will always be our primary objective.
As a Club we are extremely fortunate to have a fantastic
team of Members who have dedicated their service to this
objective and as such, they freely devoted their time to
keeping our beach safe and expect nothing in return.
Worthy of note are our Members who have over 100
hours of Patrol Service, Members who achieved 100%
Patrol Attendance and all the Members who have achieved
an award to enable them perform these volunteer duties.
In recognising the “volunteer” nature of our organisation
I quote “the largest volunteer movement of its kind in
Australia and the World.” SLSA 2012-2016 Strategic Plan.
It is important to pause and reflect on the term volunteer
and what exactly that looks like within North Cronulla.
• A Volunteer Lifesaver at North Cronulla helped
contribute close to 13 000 Volunteer Patrol Hours for
2012-2013.
• A Volunteer Instructor at North Cronulla contributed to
the training of Members who achieved over 200 awards.
• A Volunteer Finance Director managed well over half a
million dollars in annual turnover.

Rescued English Tourist David Gingell, with Ben Smollett
Braden Fleming and Craig McKinniery.
On returning to England in 2008, David took the time
to write and thank the Club for their efforts from which a
reply was forwarded from the then Club Captain, with an
invitation to join Members at the Club any time for a beer
should he return to Australia. David accepted that invitation
five years later and travelled from England in April 2013
and again expressed his sincere appreciation for what the
Members of North Cronulla had done for him and his
family. In preparing this report as the Secretary, on
reflection, this was perhaps the most significant moment
for me personally of the season. In a season of many
highlights and challenges, it is moments like this for me
that make the incredibly demanding workload of the
Secretary worthwhile.
The preparation of not just the Secretary’s Report and
the entire Annual Report together with the normal
responsibilities of the Secretary such as the management
of correspondence, monthly Board Meeting obligations,
the organisation of significant Club events such as
Presentation Evening, Sponsorship functions and support
of Lifesaving, Education and Competition programs, has
Old Office versus new Office – Thanks to Melmac.
The Board of Directors.
made for an incredibly demanding and at times unrealistic
workload of a volunteer who works in a full time job.
At this stage I need to pause to highlight perhaps some
of the challenges and disappointments of the past season.
The purpose of doing this is to highlight and suggest
that things need to change. In examining Annual Reports
from immediate past seasons and from numerous other
Clubs, that there is a common theme that cannot be
ignored that the spirit of volunteer highlighted previously
is unfortunately disappearing.
The skills, expertise and experience required to perform
many roles in the Organisation have become out of reach
of the “average volunteer”.
Members are reluctant to accept and perform major
roles within the Organisation because of the scrutiny they
are placed under by both the Organisation itself and fellow
Members and parents. This is no more clearly
demonstrated within our own Club for this past season –
with absence of a Competition Director and Lifesaving
Director since the end of February 2013.
Acknowledgement needs to be made to the rest of the
Board, together with the Office Staff for the additional
responsibilities that have been assumed to compensate
for these vacant positions.
Our Members have talents, skills and abilities that need
to be utilised within the Club in areas they feel competent
and confident in. With the skills and experience I possess
from my professional life, I hope to continue to serve North
Cronulla in some capacity in the coming season with the
support of Members, who are prepared to accept
responsibilities and take on leadership roles.
My thanks and sincere appreciation to the following
Members who have utilised their talents, skills and expertise
to support me as Secretary and North Cronulla over the
past season:
• Members who have donated their time “in kind” to repair,
fix, build, pack and/or transport Club resources and
facilities.
• The Office Staff and Resident Member.
• The Training and Education Team.
• The Club Competition Coaches, Section Leaders and
Managers.
• Our dedicated Lifesavers including our Patrol Captains
and Vice-Captains and Water Safety personnel.
• The spirit of the Club the Social and Ladies Committee
and Volunteer Bar Staff.
• Our Junior Activities Section including Committee
Members and Squad Leaders.
• Our Club Competition Officials and Members, who hold
positions at higher levels of the Organisation.
• Club Historian Committee and Life Members.
• My fellow Board of Directors and Members who have
assumed roles within the Club over the past season.
Special acknowledgement:
• North Cronulla Open March Past Team – thanks for the
laughter.
• Staff Of Brighton-Le-Sands Public School.
• Staff NSW School Sports Unit.
• Girlfriends who listen and understand and support
unconditionally.
• My very supportive family, especially my husband, who
as President, has shared the journey that was the 20122013 Season.

Club Captain’s Report
With so much activity going on around our great Club, it’s
becoming increasingly difficult to summarise a year that
was in my Annual Report – but I will give it a go.
So where should I start, but with the heart and soul of
our Club – Lifesaving and Education. Another year has
gone by and another year that our Patrols have performed
magnificently with “No Lives Lost” on our beach this
summer. Our Patrol Captains have again led the way
displaying great professionalism and vigilance while guiding
their Patrol Members with support from the Vice-Captains
and experienced Members. Congratulations to those
Members that received the Award at our Presentation Night
for “Outstanding contribution to Patrols” – and what a great
“Family” result with Brigitte Duffy taking out most
outstanding Junior Patrol Person and her father Gavin,
taking out best Patrol Captain – well deserved.
I would also like to make a special mention of Amanda
Duran, for her phenomenal effort in achieving 10 years
100% Patrol Attendance. Well done Amanda.
Jason Gollan and his crew of Trainers trained over 200
of our Members gaining Awards from SRC to Gold
Medallions – a lot of time and effort which is appreciated.
Jason was also the worthy recipient of the “Mario
Peryman Memorial Trophy” for “Lifesaver of the Year”.
I must make a note that we have another 54 SRC
Members moving into the Senior Section next season and
performing Patrols. Remember, it is everyone’s duty to
make sure we guide and mentor these young Lifesavers
and ensure they are on a pathway through the Club that is
enjoyable and make them feel part of a big team that is
North Cronulla.
Another successful year in competition for the “Blue &
Gold” with a number of Members becoming State,
Australian, World and Interclub Champions – all to be
covered in the Competition Reports.
To the Coaches, Section Leaders and Area Managers
that gave up their valuable time to help guide, mentor and
support our competitors – your efforts don’t go unnoticed.
To Paul Moses, who will be stepping down as Ski Section
Leader and Coach – thank you for all the sacrifices and
time you have put into building the Ski Section to what it
is today – great job!
We can’t forget the unsung heroes who do all the work
behind the scenes – you are such a big part of our Club
continuing to function the way it does, from towing trailers,
to putting up tents, raising valuable funds and organising
our competitors. This team work supports the great spirit
we have at North Cronulla SLSC.
North Cronulla’s achievements have been well
documented in the Leader Newspaper this year, thanks to
the fantastic work of our Club Media Liaison Officer –
Karon McGrath. Karon per for ms her role with
professionalism and is diligent in the way she approaches
each event, so we have not only had the most exposure in
the Leader for many years, but she has also formed a
relationship with the Leader that keeps us in good stead
into the future.
There were two Award Ceremonies this year, with the
“Branch Awards of Excellence” and our own Presentation
Night. We had a number of Members recognised at the
Branch Dinner, but it was great to see our hard working
Officials recognised – with Ben Dillon and Mike Day taking
out the Main Awards in their Section. What a great evening
our own Presentation Night was. Secretary Tracey
Page 12
Club Captain, Jamie Primmer.
McKinniery did a superb job organising the night and it
was great to see the whole Club come together for the
night. I was pleased to see Ben Smollett receive the “Norm
Rees Memorial Trophy” – well deserved for someone that
does a tremendous amount of work for our Club behind
the scenes. To Jason Gollan, as I have said previously – a
great choice for the “Mario Perryman Memorial Trophy” –
well done boys.
Congratulations also to the recipients of the Club
Captain’s Awards – Trent Purdie for the Junior and Joel
Eaton for the Senior – both deserving recipients. Joel also
received the “Tom Payne Memorial Grant” that will help
him with his quest for speed in the IRB Section.
Finally – I would like to thank the ladies in the Office –
Sheridan, Glenn-Marie and Mel, who have all been a great
support and help through the year. And of course the
North Cronulla Board – led by our fearless leader Craig
McKinniery – you are all good people and I appreciate
the support. See you on the beach.
Jamie Primmer, Club Captain.

Director’s Report
This season has been extremely impressive looking on
from outside – as well as being involved in a number of
roles. To me one of the most critical issues faced by both
North Cronulla and SLS nationally, is about Member
Retention and Member Satisfaction.
I also feel both are closely aligned in many ways and we
need to create “Opportunity through Diversity”.
Not everyone wants to be or is capable of being a
Champion Competitor or an Administrator or Trainer or
even a “Super Lifesaver”! Not everyone wants to surf or
paddle a ski – or do whatever discipline is available, but
there are plenty who do – so our role is creating
opportunity.
We create the opportunity by having the diverse range
of options and both seeking answers and asking the
questions about what individuals want and what makes
them happy.
Supporting and finding out about who are and what is
the role of our Patrol Captains and Vice Captains, our
IRB Sections including the Drivers and Crew, Training &
Education, Nippers, Surfing/Board Riding and all of the
Sections within the Club help to create opportunity. What
is it that you like and what do you want to do?
I or we as a Club, may not have all the answers, but we
are happy to listen to what you want.
Member Retention is critical so how do achieve this
and specifically what is it that we need to do?
We need to strive to do this and do our bit locally and
for the bigger picture that is Surf Life Saving. We need to
develop and maintain existing and new sustainable
frameworks that help to both create programs and
opportunities that individuals feel comfortable with and
happy to do.
The tricky bit about Member Retention is finding out
what is relevant to everyone – and in so many ways we
are definitely doing this, but cannot afford to take our eye
of the ball.
The future is in our hands and currently it looks pretty
bright to me – so be a part of it. Regards.

Life Saving Director’s Report
Our Life Saving Director – Jessica Burgess, carefully
assigned Club Members based on their skills and
qualifications – to each of the Patrols and assigned Patrol
Captains, Vice-Captains and IRB Drivers and Crew – to
give North Cronulla Surf Life Saving Club a roster of 14
Patrols for the season. The number of Patrols increased
from 12 to 14 based on the strong leadership of the Patrol
Captains in the previous season and enough high calibre
and suitably qualified Members to fill the Vice-Captain and
IRB Driver and Crew person roles.
Our Club Membership must understand people are
assigned to Patrols for very good reasons – to ensure
balanced Patrols covering Life Saving skills, expertise, and
SLSA qualifications – and to meet our obligations under
Patrol Service Agreements (PSA) with Surf Life Saving
NSW and Standard Operating Procedures for Patrols.
Due to unreasonable pressure from Club Membership
and changes to Jessica’s work commitments – she could
not fulfil this role for the full season, but still remained a
Patrol Captian during the season. The Life Saving
Committee satisfactorily managed the operations of our
Patrols for the remainder of the season.
The overall standard of our Patrols was very high, but
there are areas that could be improved and these will
targeted as part of new program for Patrol improvement
next season. We had some great support from Active
Reserve Members and other Patrol Members, who were
asked to help with selected Patrols that struggled with
maintaining suitable numbers of Bronze Medallions during
the main section of the season over the December to
February period.

Patrol Statistics Seasons 2010-2103
The statistics for this Patrol Season reflect a beach that is
managed effectively and efficiently by our Patrols and
Members. The number of recorded rescues is higher than
the previous season – and lower than the three season
average of 154 rescues.
Preventative Actions increased when compared to the
previous season and is a good result because our Patrols
are effecting actions and measures to reduce the risk to
the surfing public – before the situation develops into a
full blown rescue.

An interesting statistic is the day of time the rescues are
performed as listed in table at bottom of the page, indicates
that Patrols need to diligent in their duties at all times.
We had several notable rescues during the season both
in the surf and around the beach precinct and included
two successful nominations for “Surf Life Saving Sydney
Rescue of the Month” – for November 2102 for Kylie
Cameron – and January 2103 for Jye Highfield and Lochie
Davis. As a testament to the overall performance and high
standards of our Patrols, North Cronulla SLSC won the
“Surf Life Saving Sydney Patrol Efficiency Competition”
for the Bate Bay area.
We introduced the use of an All Terrain Vehicle (ATV)
late in the Patrol Season, so our Patrol Captains could
gain experience on driving the ATV through the sand and
up the ramps while towing IRB and trailer while the beach
was less crowded. The ATV will be used from day one of
next season, because of the highly successful results and
positive feedback from Patrol Captains this season.
To all the Members who gained your 100% Patrol
Attendance – congratulations of your effort and special
mention to Amanda Duran – who gained 10 Years 100%
Patrol Attendance. We had 12 Members gain over 100
hours of Patrol Hours and Steve Cardy achieved 187 hours
of Patrol Duty on our beach. Congratulations to all of you
and thank you for the extra effort.
To all of our Members who volunteered your time
patrolling North Cronulla Beach to the very high standard
expected and delivered – we extend a warm and grateful
“Thank You” – and hope you enjoyed the experience and
the responsibility of keeping the surfing and bathing public
safe at North Cronulla Beach.
See you back in your “Red & Yellow” Surf Patrol
Uniforms for the start of the 2013-2014 Season.

IRB Section Report
The 2012-2013 Season has been another great one for
the IRB Section. We have continued our fantastic growth
in Members with large groups of IRB Crewman and Drivers
Awards gained. As a result, we have had a Duck Driver on
every Patrol for the season. This would not be possible
without our Trainers – Sam Freeman and Darren Thorne.
A big credit is due to these guys, as they pass on valuable
information to help keep our Surf Club going.
Also a big thanks to everyone who assisted me with can
laying duties at carnivals this year. It’s always a tough gig
being first on the water and last off – and with the Branch
seeking to add more carnivals to the calendar every year.
Remember, without this valuable workforce – the
carnivals do not go ahead! Our growth in patrolling and
retention of IRB Members can also be closely linked to
our strong footing in IRB Competition. Due to our
successful results last season our recruitment and retention
was maintained. Since the reintroduction of IRB
Competition six years ago – the Section has kept improving
with the numbers of Members and the quality of the gear
we use for Patrolling and Competition.
During the 2012 Season, we had 27 Members
competing, with at least one Crew in all disciplines – a
first time for us as a Section in a very long time. What this
equalled with hard work by the Crews and lots and lots of
testing of gear was results. 2012 was some of the best
results I believe we have ever had as a Club. In the NSW
IRB Premiership Series, we finished third overall in the
State, with seven Medals at the end – our best result ever
improving from the seventh last year. At the NSW IRB
State Titles, we finished fifth overall – with five Medals and
a numerous amount of Finals with fourth and fifth places
in the Mens, Under-23s, 35+ and Women’s Divisions –
which was great considering the number of injuries we
had. At the IRB Australian at Ocean Beach this year, we
made our first Australian Final since 2000 and a heap of
other Semi-Finals in tricky big surf. It showed that we will
be strong contenders for the Aussies at Darwin in 2013.
Last year was the first time we ever had any IRB athletes
make the NSW Interstate Team – with three of our Club
Members being selected for the 2012 Season – we had
five Members selected for both the NSW Interstate Team
and the NSW High Performance Team to compete in the
IRB Interstate Championships. I was fortunate enough to
be the Captain of the High Performance Team, a great
honour to represent my home State two years in a row.
Big congratulations to Kane Hughes, Jarrad Kucler, Mitch
Cardy and Samuel Freeman, who I was able to not only to
call Club Team Mates, but also State Team Mates. I think
if we looked back five years ago, this would have been a
mere pipe dream for us to be competing at this level.
Another first for the Section was to attend our first Rescue
World Lifesaving Championships in Glenelg, SA. We had
some tremendous results by making a number of Finals to
gain valuable points. In the end, we finished 13th in the
World as a Club – a great achievement from a small team
of 10, going against teams of 30+ Competitors.
All this wouldn’t have been possible without our fantastic
core group of Sponsors. A big thank you to Caltex, who
have a new boat on the way, the SUS Club, All Vehicle
Restraints, Alan Freeman, Tradies – and last but not least
the Holt Group, who donated a new boat, trailer and motor
this year. 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 six years as
IRB Captain – it makes my job much easier!
Thank you and I look forward to your support for the
upcoming season.
Joel Eaton, IRB Captain.

Ladies Committee Report
A new season with some new Team Members, some new
ideas, some new plans, some new initiatives, but still all
interwoven with tradition and purpose.
We have had some wonderful feedback from Officials
saying how wonderful our food is compared to other
carnivals, so we will endeavour to keep the Officials and
our Club Members happy and with full bellies.
This year meetings have not been occurring a lot, but
unofficially and during all events, we are together
throughout the season, but we have discussed some good
ideas and options and always happy to listen to more and
from this has come new menus and plans for the future.
We have provided meals and support on a number of
special occasions and of course at the regular carnivals
hosted at North Cronulla and a very big Interclub Carnival
and will always be a part of the Club, largely behind the
scene, but still there to do a job and of course do it well.
We are now “One Strong Team” so we work in unison
and share the roles which when the pressure is on during
the carnivals and events, keeps us sane and all having fun.
We are a strong supporting section within this proud
Club and always open to new Members who like a chat
and willing to lend a hand on those hectic days.
Good days and good times where all nice people are
always welcome – Warm Regards.
Julie Howell, Convenor – Ladies Committee.
Surf Life Saving Sydney
Carnival Official’s Report
Another season has concluded with all Members – be it as
a Competitor, Patrolling, Officiating at Carnivals or last
but not least – as a Club Supporter doing this great Club
proud.
This season saw a common sense approach taken by
Sydney Branch, through the introduction of midweek
courses conducted over two evenings – in conjunction with
the Saturday course at Randwick.
The measurement of this being a success was 22
attendees at Elouera Surf Club, to attain Level 1
Accreditation and 17 attending the Junior Officials Course,
held at our Club.
The following Members achieved Level 1 Accreditation:
Brook Fleming, David Hargreaves, Stephen Plunkett and
Craig Hawkins.
Attaining Junior Level 1 Accreditation: David Boggiss,
Mario De Franza, Catherine Walker and Clinton Lightbody.
All have commenced their careers by attending various
local, Branch and State Carnivals.

These Courses are held twice yearly, usually in late
October early November and are open to all Financial
Members over 16.
Upon completion of the Course, new Officials may
choose a field in which to specialise – be it Boats, IRB,
Communications, R & R, Water or Beach Events.
Your involvement in this area of Competition introduces
you to a group of people who wish to enjoy themselves
and ensure all Competitors enjoy an equal playing field.
Any enquiries may be directed to myself for clarification.
May Season 2013-2014 – see North Cronulla excel in all
areas.
Tony Hughes, Officials Co-ordinator.
“Barney Johansen Pool to Pool”
Once again what a colourful day for those who dressed to
impress – with some outrageous outfits!
It always is a very entertaining morning, especially for
those parents with young children. It’s a family day and all
the kids get a great thrill by just participating with their
parents.
For those who did not know our past Late Club Captain
Barney Johansen – he was an inspiration to many Club
Members and a great friend. Unfortunately he passed away
doing this event several years ago – hence the name of
the day. So in honour of him – we will keep this day going
for many years to follow.
It is a fundraising day for the Board Section and it enables
us to purchase a new Board each year for future Paddlers
to use.
I always pay tribute to the very Senior Members who
turn up as a group each year – to complete the 6km Walk/
Run and the 5-Pool-Swim – you guys are legends.
So come on let’s see more Sections getting involved
next season. It’s not just for kids – it’s a Club get-together
prior to Christmas.
I would like to thank all who participated and supported
the day.
To the Members and parents who helped on the day,
your tireless efforts were the result of another successful
“Barney Johansen Pool to Pool”.
Thank you all so much and remember next year – wear
shoes!!
Steve Warren.
Club Historian’s Report
Once again, I pay tribute to the willing band of workers –
Bill Bofinger, Shirley Cameron, Betty Brown, Margaret
Sorensen and Darien Fleming – who meet every
Wednesday morning to record and update the records and
achievements of all Club Members, as well as keeping a
scrap book of all publicity by the press on the activities of
not only North Cronulla, but of what is happening in the
Bate Bay area.
One of the many tasks also undertaken is the establishing
of the years of service given to the Surf Life Saving
Association, so Members may receive their respective Surf
Life Saving Awards for the years of service they have given.
The commencement for these Awards it is understood
to be from the time a Member starts their Patrol on the
Beach. Another direction by Surf Lifesaving is to have
all Members with a registration number – this requires a
large amount of time and effort as the girls go through
each Member’s Record Sheet and record the number.
Another aspect of achievements in our Club – I draw all
Members attention to the magnificent efforts played by
the women. Not only have they been excellent
Competitors, but also have contributed constructively in
the Administration role of our Club. I consider it must be
one of the best moves this Club made in the 1980s – to
admit women as full Members.
Another pleasing aspect of this job is to have past
Members call into the Club during the week and we can
show them their records for the years they were Members
in the Club and it gave me pleasure to be able to reply to
a daughter living in South Australia of her mother’s
association with North Cronulla – far back in the 1940s.
Members who do not receive the recognition they
deserve are Frank Ridley, Bob Lovell and Bill Bofinger.
If there is a job that needs some “muscle” around the
Club, then it falls upon these chaps to roll up their sleeves
and get “stuck into it”! They would appreciate assistance
from any of the younger Members.
Research with the 2025 “100 Year Anniversary Book”
is progressing and we have a list of 96 current and past
Members who during their time in the Club, have
contributed to the history and welfare of North Cronulla.
A highlight of the year was the nomination of Shirley
Cameron – by the NSW Government to be considered as
the “Senior Citizen of the Year” for her outstanding
contribution to the Community – with Rugby, Swimming
and Surf Lifesaving in the Sutherland Shire – a deserving
tribute to our Ladies Committee past President.
Thank you to Maurie Tattle and Jim Sorrensen for their
efforts in painting the Reception area – and when
the carpet is laid on the floor and the Memorabilia Artifacts
replaced on the walls and in the Instruction Room – a
display showing what North Cronulla is all about and it
should impress new Members and the school children,
who are instructed by the Lifeguards during the week days.
Ian Badham a past Member, who in his formative years
learned his profession in North Cronulla and went on to
firstly be the CEO of the Wales Helicopter Rescue and
now is the Manager Director of Care Flight – has
generously donated a series of scrap books to add to our
collection of memorabilia artifacts.
A special thank you once again, to the Wednesday Team,
for their dedication and hard work.
Nobody could ask for a better group, but we all respect
the assistance given to us by the Office Staff – Sheridan
and although no longer with us – Bree and of course our
latest edition Glenn-Marie – once again not to forget the
advice and assistance we receive from the Board of
Directors.
Allan Cameron BEM, Club Historian.

Vales . . .
Barbara Shirley
It is with sadness that we record the passing of Barbara
Shirley – beloved wife of Life Member Ray Shirley.
Barbara began her association with North Cronulla
through joining the Ladies Committee and it wasn’t
long before Ray, a confirmed bachelor set his eyes on
this young lady courting her and marrying her.
Settling in Caringbah and both working within the
Shire, it was on retirement that they decided to move
to the Oak Flats area on the South Coast of NSW.
Barbara always retained an interest in the activities
of the Surf Club and Ladies Committee, being a regular
at such functions as the Ladies Committee’s Reunion
Dinners, until ill heath overcame her.
A large number of Members and friends gathered
to pay their respects at her passing and Ray expressed
his gratitude at their attendance.
Carol Swane
The Club lost a valued Member, with the passing of
Carol Swane – the beloved wife of Life Member
Stephen Swane.
Carol played a large part in the life of the Club,
with her following husband Steve’s love of the Surfboat
Section within the Club – for it was always here that
you would find her, irrespective of the weather, lending
her support to the welfare of the Surfboats and their
Crews.
She was a Member of the Ladies Committee for
many years and she also was North Cronulla’s
Treasurer – a role she excelled in and allowed us to
benefit from her accounting skills. The Club paid their
respects to her, with the naming of a Surfboat in her
honour. Carol was very much admired in her battle
with her illness, for her courage and pluck was
outstanding and right up to the end, she never let this
handicap stand in her way. Sleep well dear friend –
even though you are gone, you are not forgotten.
Ronald Sawyer
Ronald Sawyer, Veteran Member passed away on
Friday 26th February 2013. Ron joined North
Cronulla in 1947 as a Cadet Member, even though
he was around the Club as a boy – being introduced
to Club life by a Senior Club Member and was
recognised with a 50 Year Surf Life Saving Service
Award.
Always an average swimmer, he played many roles
in the education and social life of the Club and many
of the older Members can still recall him playing the
drums and singing in his Dance Band.
The March Past Competition was where Ron found
his “niche” and was a Member of many successful
Championship Teams, both with North Cronulla and
National Park Surf Lifesaving Clubs.
To Faith and family the President and Members offer
our sincere sympathies and thank you for allowing us
to be part of his life.
Sleep well dear friend – you may have gone, but
you will not be forgotten.

George Thatcher
George joined North Cronulla in 1944, being
introduced into the Club by the late Life Member Jack
Dillon.
George had lost his Father as a young child and his
Mother thought that this was an opportunity for George
to grow up in male company.
Being physically big in stature, he found his mark in
being elected to carry the banner in many March Past
Competitions. He was an average swimmer, but he
was always first to have his name on the sheet for the
compulsory Sunday Morning Swims.
Joining the Merchant Navy as a Radio Officer, he
still maintained his interest in the Surf Club and was
the brother-in-law to our late Club Captain James
Peryman.
Successful in his professional life, he moved with
his family and his company, as they had relocated to
Gosford and upon retirement, the family moved to
Talong in the Southern Highlands, but he retained his
love of all things North Cronulla.
Members may remember the last time he was at the
Club, he had in his possession an original “Club Cap”
and he wore it with great pride, creating much interest
amongst those Members present.
Thank you, George, for your contribution to North
Cronulla Surf Life Saving Club.
James Walker
Jamie as he was commonly called – although not a
Member of North Cronulla, he was a very much
respected by our Members in the various positions he
had held at the Wanda Surf Live Saving Club.
A common bond we had with Jamie, is that he
married Beverly, the widow of the late popular North
Cronulla Member Fred Dewey and proved to play an
excellent parent role to Beverly’s twin boys and
Stephen.
He was always co-operative with North Cronulla,
but always a strong competitive advocate for Wanda
in competition and the input that he gave Wanda has
played a large part in the successful Club that they are
today. We will miss you Jamie and will always
appreciate the respect you showed to North Cronulla.
Terry Trevellian
Terry, a past Club Captain, will always be remembered
by those who knew him, for he had the face that a
smile came easily and his pleasant personality made
him a popular Club Member.
Terry always placed the progress of Surf Lifesaving
in the Bate Bay area first and when the fledging Club
of Elouera was looking for experienced Members to
help them become established – Terry, along with other
Members from the other three established Clubs, joined
Elouera to help them through their infancy in the
Surfing Movement.
A regular attendee at our Annual General Meetings,
he still professed his high regard for North Cronulla
and keenly followed our Club’s progress. We that are
left, are better off for having known a man like Terry.

Youth Development
Under-14 Director’s Report
A challenging but good year!
The year started off with “beach closed signs” up for the
first couple of weeks. This seemed to set the trend for the
year. It wasn’t till week three that we actually saw the water
and even then, still quite challenging conditions.
Post Christmas break, we were hampered by terrible
weather and surf that saw us cancel Nippers on three
different occasions. Through all this, it was a pleasure to
lead the kids for this season.
We had made one very significant change over the
course of the year – the implementation of the “Pink Safety
Rash Vests”.
This item of the kid’s Nipper Apparel is now compulsory
for all our kids entering the water and we hope will increase
the safety of our kids – as that is extremely important to
us. We would like to thank all parents and kids for their
patience throughout the process and embracing this
change.
We continued on the road of ensuring that education
remains a strong influence at North Cronulla. We strongly
believe in the importance of education in the development
and safety of our kids.
Guided by Bernie Staunton, our kids have learnt about
differing surf conditions and rips, how to handle them
and not to be afraid – hand signals so that they can easily
communicate on a beach –CPR where our kids learn to
save a life.
Even if they only retain a little each year, that little can
make a world of difference.
For every carnival we attend, we must provide Officials.
Many of our Officials no longer have kids in nippers, so
we especially thank you for your duties above and beyond
Page 20
the call. For our Officials with kids in Nippers, we
appreciate the time you devote to for our kids at carnivals.
We also had some new parents come forward this year
to complete either their Junior Official’s Course or Official’s
Course. This is a great effort and hopefully we will be able
to strengthen our ranks with more parents in the coming
season. A special thanks goes to Tony Hughes and Mike
Day, for all of their time and effort.
We had 35 parents obtain their Bronze Medallion this
season – that is a fantastic effort. Without our Water Safety,
Nippers would not be on each week – as we need these
people for the safety of our children.
Our Water Safety mums and dads, for two hours each
Nipper day, protect our kids and keep them safe. Thanks
to all our Water Safety and Allan Moore for all his efforts
every Sunday morning coordinating the activities.
This season we had 53 of our Under-14 Nippers
complete their SRC. Trained by Jason Gollan and his team,
these kids went on to help our younger kids with skills and
Water Safety throughout the season.
They are great role models for our younger kids and
wish them well in the future and we look forward to seeing
them in the “Red & Yellow” on the beach on a weekend.
Week after week, we have people that manage and
mentor our kids on a Sunday morning. To start, our Squad
Leaders every week organize our kids to all their different
activities, ensure they make their events when competing
at carnivals, keep parents and kids informed of what is
coming up etc. I am sure you will all agree, they do a
fantastic job with our kids and we thank them for their
commitment.
We cannot go past the efforts of both “Whale” and Tony,
for their coordinating of Water Areas every Nipper day –
thanks guys as you do a great job!
Sheridan and Glenn-Marie in the Office – we thank you
for all your work and guidance throughout the year. We
are very grateful for everything you do for us, your
organization and knowledge is outstanding and second to
none.
Without the support and hard work of the Committee,
Nippers would not get of the ground each week. From
Rod’s happy smiling face on the BBQ each week, Kath
and Barb with all the carnival entries, Barry on beach setup and board repairs, Tony and Mike at the Bar, Fred the
Team Manager, Jenny on Sponsorship, Jeff that looked
after our equipment, Tracey, “Cammo” and Damien for
organizing the Coaching Session, Kim on Apparel and
Presentation Day, Brook, Scott, Dave, Pauric and Mick
that helped out everywhere with tents, carnivals etc. And
finally, the Executive – “Macca” and Donna, who worked
tirelessly throughout the season. Thank you to you both
for all your support and help throughout the season.
The most important people of all to thank are the kids.
We have 550 great Nippers and you kids are why we do
this.
Our kids have had some great achievements throughout
the season – from medals at various carnivals, to a few
instances of our Nippers playing a role in some rescues.
No matter the size of the role, these kids helped save a
life and that is what we are about.
To all our Nippers – we love seeing the smiles on your
faces each week and how much you progress and learn
throughout the season.
It is really amazing to watch and hope to see you all
back next season.
Michelle Sheldon, Under-14 Director.
Youth Development
Secretary’s Report
Reflecting back over our past Season, it was proved again
that the weather and surf conditions are truly in the hands
of the Gods! We had experienced a number of lost days
due to pouring rain and gale force winds. Then there was
the “State Carnival that wasn’t”!
The Season sure turned out to be a real challenge for
us all here at North Cronulla.
With our Under-14 Director Michelle Sheldon and
Deputy Director Kevin Mcnamara’s guidance, the
Committee again excelled throughout the Season.
The Committee worked hard. Michelle, Kevin and I
sincerely thank all those Members that went above and
beyond their roles in assisting us getting through the work.
Thank you too – to the Office for your continuing
support – Sheridan and Glenn-Marie, the Nippers really
appreciated it.
North Cronulla also helped Cronulla SLSC out by
hosting the 4-Way Carnival. The reason for this was due
to all the construction work occurring along Cronulla’s
Esplanade during November.
The change in venue was another testament to the spirit
within North Cronulla, especially when all Age Groups
readily and happily provided assistance in the following
areas – Officials, Water Safety and General Working
Parties.
A fantastic “Australia Day Ironperson Classic” was held
during this Season. On that occasion, the weather was
great and we experienced record numbers attending.
A new sponsor “Rip Curl” also came on board. This
event was run by the Under-13 Parents and North Cronulla
Nipper Committee and the day resulted in being an
outstanding success with all those involved thoroughly
enjoying themselves.
During the year the “Sydney Branch Age
Championships” was a great event which, was run
extremely well.
A big thank you goes out to all our Officials and Water
Safety, who participated on the day – for without your help
– our Club would have had no one competing.
This is a timely reminder to all that we need to ensure
that we continue to sustain our Water Safety numbers and
Officials. So please, if you would like some of the best
seats in the house for next Season and beyond, then do
not hesitate in nominating yourself for either of these areas.
North Cronulla continues to gain strength with our
Education Programs. Recently, we were congratulated by
the Sydney Branch Director of Junior Development, on
how well we are doing things in our Club.
Thank you to our previous and current Education
Officers – Don McGroder and Bernie Staunton. Don for
the foundations you have laid in this area and Bernie for
the innovative ideas you have introduced to the kids.
I look forward to the coming Seasons and hope that in
the future we may be blessed with wonderful beach weather
and perfect surf conditions.
Donna Hargreaves –
Under-14 Development Secretary.

Youth Development Nipper Captains’ Speeches
Girl’s Captain
Hi – my name is Shannon Glasson and with me is Kieran
Henley and we were your Club Captains for the 20122013 Season.
I would like to welcome you all here today for the North
Cronulla Nippers Presentation Day.
I would also like to welcome our Life Members, Special
Guests and Sponsors.
I started Nippers in the Under-6s in the “Black & White”
hats and have enjoyed every minute of it and met some
great friends. I have had a few Squad Leaders along the
way – but the best where “Youngy” Pete and Dave.
North Cronulla has been a big part of my life and my
family’s – the skills that I have learnt along the way.
I am looking forward to going into the Senior Club and
doing Patrols and getting my IRB Crewman’s and Drivers
Licences.
We have been lucky enough to be voted Club Captains
by our team mates. This is a role that we have not taken
lightly and we have been proud to represent such a great
Club.
I would like to thank my Squad Leaders – Scott Young,
Peter Garland and Dave Hargreaves.
These Squad Leaders have supported us and given us a
lot of their time to help us on Sundays and at carnivals.
A Big Thank You – to all of you guys!
One of the highlights this season for us was the Under14s trip away to Queensland.
This year the boys stayed at Kirra Surf Club and the
girls stayed at Palm Beach.
We did Nippers at both beaches. On the Friday, we
went to “Wet & Wild Theme Park” which was lots of fun.
Julie McKinnery – A big thank you to Julie for organising
our trip for us – you did a fantastic job and to all our
Chaperons – you were great too.
I would also like to say – “Jules” thank you for doing
the “Nipper Natter” for a lot of years – you make a lot of
people laugh when reading it each week.
I would like to thank the Water Safety Men and
Women – without you guys our Sunday events and
carnivals would not go ahead.
Thanks to “Whale”, Mike Day, Kevin Macnamara, Daniel
Makovec, Buzz, Tony Hughes, Don McGroder and all the
other Officials who volunteer on Sundays and at carnivals.
We would like to thank Michelle Sheldon, Kevin
Macnamara, Donna Hargreaves and their team for steering
our Club to being such a Great Club!
This season we all obtained our SRC and now can Patrol
our beach.
I would like to thank Jason Gollan, Steve Cardy, Max
Walker, Gavin Duffy, Peter Looms, Jamie Primmer and
all the Squad Leaders who helped us achieve this.
To our Beach Coaches – Larry and Damien, who have
been training kids on the beach at this Club for longer
than I have been a Nipper. Thank You!
Stuart Cameron (“Camo”) and Tracey Schriek – thank
you for helping us with our Surf Skills and Board Training.
You guys are awesome!
If there is anyone that I have missed thanking – I do
apologize.
Rod Fowler and his team of helpers – a big thank you
for cooking the BBQ each week. You did a great job.
Sheridan Hughes and Staff of the Office – a big thank
Page 22
you for all your hard work you do to make sure that
everything runs smoothly and we are entered into carnivals.
I would like to congratulate the new Club Captains –
Will Fleming and Jess Woolbank.
I know you guys will do a great job as voted by your
peers. I wish you all the best for your Nipper Season.
Shannon Glasson.
Boy’s Captain
Good afternoon – I am Kieran Hanley. Welcome fellow
Nippers, Life Members, Members, family and friends.
As your Club Captain for the past 12 months, I’ve had
the great experience of representing all Club Nippers and
especially the Under-14 Boys.
We as the Under-14 Boys have had a great time over
many years together and want to thank our Club and the
Squad Leaders – Pauric, Sharlene, Greg Steve and Bernie.
North Cronulla has had a really big impact on our lives
and provided opportunities to paddle boards, swim, run,
compete in flags, meet new people and read the surf
conditions.
In the past year, North Cronulla has given us the skills
of the Surf Rescue Certificate and joining Surf Patrols as
part of Community service.
The North Cronulla Club is full of history and great
people and families. Recently I heard Warren Rennie and
Craig McKinniery speak so passionately about the Club at
the Aussies Club Dinner – it made me feel so proud to be
a part of North Cronulla!
On behalf of all Nippers and families we want to thank
and acknowledge the Nipper Committee lead by Michelle
Sheldon and Kevin Macnamara, the Club Officials, the
Administrators, Water Safety and all the team that make
our Club Nipper days and carnivals so successful.
We also want to thank our past Junior Club Leaders –
Geoff Budd and Jamie Primmer – who’s efforts while we
were younger, have left us with great childhood memories –
thanks “Buddy” and Jamie.
Our Under-14 Group is so fortunate to have a parent
Julie McKinnery – aka “Mrs. Nipper Natter” who has given
110% in everything – especially the fundraising for our
Queensland trip away. Thanks Julie we all owe you lots!
Our Under-14 trip to Queensland was a highlight. The
trip allowed us to establish new friendships within our Age
Groups as well as getting closer to the girls and all the
Squad Leaders. To next year’s Under-14s – I can tell you
it will be an experience you will remember for the rest of
your life and you won’t want the weekend to end. The trip
away is also due to the never-ending efforts of Jamie
Primmer the Club Supporters and Sheridan Hughes –
leading the Administration Team.
Thanks to our Club President Craig McKinniery, Lee
Howell the Youth Director and the entire Nipper
Committee.
North Cronulla has and will always be an important
part of our personal development and lives.
I would also like to thank Shannon Glasson, for being a
great Girls Club Captain and a great partner to work with
along the way – and to all the Under-14 Girls and Under14 Boys for making our final year so awesome.
I would also like to wish the best of luck for next year’s
Junior Club Captains – Will Fleming and Jess Woolbank.
Congratulations guys.
Kieran Hanley.
Club Captains – Shannon Glasson and Kieran Hanley.
Youth Education Officer’s Report
Danger, Dedicated – Don
Beach Events, Board Paddling, Human Body
Firstly, great thanks is extended to Don McGroder. Through
many dedicated years of Education, Don has laid down a
solid base for us to continue to build on.
Great thanks also to our Water Safety Team, who do
an outstanding job on Sunday mornings.
Time was spent teaching Beach Sprint and Flag starts
down on the beach.
As well as starting the younger ones in the pool with
some board rolls and manoeuvres.
We had a great lesson with the Under-13s Group (with
the help of white board textas) on the importance of all
the major organs and systems in the body and their
relationship to healthy living and being a Lifesaver.
Rescue and Resuscitation
Training was very successful this season, with all ages being
introduced to our lovely manikins.
We went from basic knowledge up to introducing the
Defib with the Manikins. We worked on Tube Rescues
and the importance of approaching the patient as well as
patient security in the surf.
Signals, Surf Survival, Sun Smart
Squad Leaders, SRC
All our groups were taken through signals in real life out
on the grass, with fun results as well as in the surf and
constantly being reinforced by Squad Leaders.
As well as explaining the importance of identifying rips,
we also looked at different wave types and survival in the
surf. Thanks to all the Squad Leaders who guide the kids
around on Sunday mornings and help out in the lessons
when required.
Once again we sent our Under-14s off for their SRC.
Big thanks to the Club Trainers in taking them through
the final leg and furthering their Education and showing
them how to put it in practice. Congratulations!
Attitude, Amazing, First Aid
The children all had a great learning attitude with
enthusiasm all through the season even on the rainy days!
We had an amazing Mum who also happened to be a
Fire Fighter and an Ambulance Officer Father, who both
gave us a great insight into the 000 protocol and how to
use it.
Committee, Catching Waves
Great thanks goes out to the Committee, who do an
outstanding job day after day – especially Michelle, Donna
and “Macca” – just to mention a few.
We had a lot of opportunities to catch waves this season
and taught the kids the importance of entering and exiting
the surf.
Thanks also to my helpers through the year – Lara and
the dynamic “Twins” who were always up for a bit of
interaction in the lesson.
Development Camp
Once again we sent our boys and girls to the Camp who
certainly held their own in the final day of competition.
This format of training highlights the importance of
repetition in Resuscitation and CPR techniques.
Conclusion
Lets face it, kids don’t want to go to school, especially on
a Sunday!
So we threw in a bit of fun and variety and before they
knew it we had a great year in Education with 95% of our
curriculum completed by Christmas.
The turn in the weather and carnivals during the second
half of the season, hampered our Education, but all in all,
a great year and looking forward to next season.

Youth Development
Branch Delegate’s Report
Very much a changing of the guard this year at Northies.
It was a difficult season at times – primarily due to weather
and sea conditions, but was overall a good one. Nipper
numbers were again over 500.
We began with Registration and Swim Proficiencies in
September/October. We remain firmly of the view that
assessing our children in the pool with proper timed
Proficiencies is the safest method to assess their water
ability, before we let them near the ocean. It is for that
reason that in addition to the SLSA required Proficiencies,
our Under-9 and Under-10 Nippers need to complete a
400 metre pool swim inside six minutes – Under-11 to
Under-14s, the same distance inside five minutes.
This year saw a new Committee led by Michelle Sheldon
(Director), Donna Hargreaves (Secretary) and Kevin
Macnamara (Deputy Director). Last season’s Training
Template with some modifications was reintroduced –
placing Board and Surf Swimming as the priorities. Again
our Club’s Senior Coaches put in huge hours guiding our
kids at training. Particular thanks to Stuart Cameron and
Tracey Shriek, for leading the weekday Training Sessions
in those Disciplines.
The year started with Kieran Hanley and Shannon
Glasson elected as Nipper Captains. Our Surf Rescue
Certificate Class saw 63 new Lifesavers presented to the
Senior Club. Reports back from the various Patrol Captains
as to their performance on Patrol have been very positive.
Under-14 Gold Coast Trip.
The kids spent all year smashing themselves to get fit
for the Championship and the weather smashed them at
the venue beaches. It must have been a huge
disappointment for the Ocean Beach people.
Our Club bravely took a decision on the Saturday that
the conditions were so poor, that notwithstanding a peculiar
decision of Organisers to press on – we would advise our
people not to compete. We of course offered support to
any Competitors who decided they still wished to take
part.
In the circumstances for our children to grab 98 points
for an overall 8th place finish, was exceptional.
Congratulations to our Committee, Coaches, Team
Managers, parents and most of all to our children. Everyone
certainly put in.
Congratulations also to our fellow District and Branch
Clubs for the performances of their Competitors on what
was a most difficult weekend.
Our Nippers were also represented in numbers at various
carnivals throughout our Branch and elsewhere.
Surf Rescue Certificate Class.
A few weeks later the Under-Under-14s flew north for
their Gold Coast Trip away. The organisation of that
weekend is monumental. Our kids and their parents spend
the better part of 12 months raising the necessary funds
through Barbecues, Raffles, Golf Days and Bingo Nights.
Everyone involved deserves some serious applause.
The weekend itself allows the girls and boys to get away
from Sydney and get to better know each other. The kids
had a brilliant time. Our friends at Kirra and Palm Beach
Surf Clubs looked after them magnificently.
Competitively – our Club was again a force.
I don’t need to tell anyone how disappointing the
weather was at the State Championships. Bad surf
combined with bad weather relentlessly for three days
straight.
The State President wrote that in 40 years of State
Nipper Competition no one could remember an event
contested in more miserable and more difficult conditions.
Page 24
Competing and having fun!
Bernie Staunton took up the reins of Education Officer
from the long-serving and remarkable – Don McGroder.
Bernie did a wonderful job ensuring our kids were given
the essential building blocks to become Surf Llifesavers.
Well played Bernie.
All that said, this is a Branch Delegate’s Report. North
Cronulla has had excellent representation at Junior Branch
this season. Again this season our hard-working Secretary –
Donna Hargreaves was a terrier in her additional very
busy role of Junior Branch Secretary. Unless you are party
to what goes on behind the scenes, you could not know
just how much work needs to be done. For the second
year in a row, Donna was presented with our “Committee
Person of the Year Award” – it was richly deserved.
Sydney Branch has 15 Clubs and thousands of Nippers.
Setting up the communication lines and organising our
Branch activities doesn’t happen by fluke – it is a
monumental task. The contribution of people such as Doug
Hawkins – our Junior Branch Director, Bruce Bevan –
Deputy Director and Donna, often goes unnoticed – but
is monumental. Our Branch is not just about Surf Sports.
The fantastic Development Camps were as popular as
ever. Our Under-11 and Under-13 Nippers who attended
Deer Park – came back enthused and full of stories.
Special thanks go to our parent minders at camp.
On the local Surf Sports front – Mike Vitnell again took
on the reins as Director. Junior Competition Director was
Wayne Druery. Both those gentlemen put in enormous
hours to ensure our events are organised as professionally
conducted. Both deserve the warmest of congratulations.
This Branch at both Senior and Junior levels, has an
extremely capable and highly regarded group of
Competition Officials. The proof of that is not just how
efficiently our local carnivals are run – I suggest you cast
an eye occasionally over the key Officials at State and
Australian Championships. You will see a
disproportionately high representation from our ranks.
After many successful years at the helm – Mike has stood
down from his BOSS role. Wayne will take his place –
heralding a new approach with a new team.
Our Club also thanks the Staff at our Branch Office.
They are ever helpful and gracious.
Once again, the off-season sees Northies Nippers
powering. Sunday morning Board Training will soon
commence. There can be no doubt the contributions by
the Coaches, Water Safety and Squad Leaders during the
winter months, have laid the foundation to the steady
annual improvement of our Nippers in Surf Sports.
Michael Day, Branch Delegate.
Team Manager’s Report
It was always going to be hard to replace Jamie Primmer
as Team Manager, after he held the position for eight years
and with all his years experience in Surf Life Saving.
During the year, I was privileged to work with so many
passionate and dedicated people, that made my role easy
and very enjoyable.
I would like to thank Tracey Schriek for her support as
Assistant Team Manager and the Selection Committee –
Michelle Sheldon, Kevin Macnamara, Peter Moyle, Tracey
Schriek and Donna Hargreaves – for assisting throughout
the year with all Team selections for carnivals
Season 2012-2013 was a very challenging year, ranging
from our weekly Sunday morning Nipper weather
conditions, to the extreme conditions during the State
Championships on the Central Coast.
But overall, we had plenty of success during the year,
especially at the 4-Way, Sydney Branch and State
Championship Carnivals.
The most pleasing part of the season was seeing the
kids every Sunday morning having fun, being with their
friends, learning about Surf Life Saving and being part of
our wonderful Club.
I would like to thank all the Squad Leaders for the time
that they put in during the season and a special mention
to the Under-14 Squad Leaders – Sharlene, Pauric, Greg,
Steve, Scott, David and Peter, for all the years being Squad
Leaders.
Well done on a fantastic job, leading such a large group
into their SRC and into the Senior Section next season.
Whilst my time as Team Manager was short, it was very
challenging and rewarding.
I know pass on the baton to Scott Young. I wish Scott
all the best for next season.
See you in the water.
Fred Vrazalica, Team Manager.

no different and it took a few weeks to get everyone
proficient. However, by season end, the children were a
changed group.
Bronze Medallion Courses were run with good
attendance pre-season and before Christmas. This meant
we have a new group of parents to assist with Water Safety.
Welcome aboard everyone and thank you to the Trainers
Jason Gollan, Geoff Budd and Peter Loomes. We also
have a number of parents completing their IRB Crew
Training and/or Driver Training.
On National Rip Awareness Day, we released purple
dye in front of the Tower. A large crowd watched as it
went along the beach (littoral rip) to the wall then out fast
towards New Zealand!
Another interesting event was the day a large slab of
whale blubber floated through the Nipper’s Course. There
is always something unexpected to deal with!
Water Areas were trialed based on activity rather than
age – so the boards not being carried around the beach.
This was fairly successful. The Under-14s with SRC,
assisted the younger 6-7-8 Age Groups. Thank you to the
Under-14s and parents as this makes Education and Safety
even more fun for the young ones.
Carnivals can be a challenge for Water Safety numbers
as a lot of the regulars will officiate. However, when the
request was put out, we always had parents volunteering
to make the numbers. North Cronulla was well supported
at all carnivals.
Thank you to people who did Pool Water Safety, to the
IRB Crew and Drivers, to “Hughsey” and “Whale” for
coordinating Water Areas on Sunday mornings, to all the
parents who put on their orange and to the regular
Members who help every weekend and don’t have children
in Nippers any more.
A final thank you to our wonderful Sponsors – you can
read their names on the Orange Rashies.
Look forward to seeing you at the beach next season.
Allan Moore.
Water Safety Report
We had another very successful season on our beach by
all accounts. The most important thing is that everyone
was safe in the water and there were no major incidents.
A highlight was that two Nippers were involved in rescuing
some members of the public on a Sunday morning.
Early season, we received the new rules from National
SLSA on high visibility tops. The “Pink Rashie” was
adopted ahead of schedule by the Club – and the beach
looked a sight with all the children in pink!
October is always a big adventure for Nippers and
particularly the Under-9s first year – swimming around the
buoy way out back on an ugly October day, in cold water
that your parents struggle to swim around. This year was

Nipper Presentation Night
Our Annual Nipper Presentation was held on the 26th of
May at the Sharks Leagues Club and for change, we held
it in the “Summer Time Bar” and from the feedback, I
think a great day was had. We had a “Jumping Castle”
and “Sausage Sizzle” this year – something the kids could
enjoy.
Congratulations to Shannon Glasson and Kieran Hanley
on a stellar job as Club Captains – you both are a great
asset to our Club and we can’t wait to see you in the
Seniors next season.
Congratulations to our “Club Persons of the Year” –
Kieran Hanley and Natasha Hargreaves.
To all our other Award Winners – congratulations on
your hard work and dedication throughout the season – it
has paid off and we are so proud of you.
Once again our faithful Sponsors were there to share in
the success of our Nippers. Thanks for your support over
the season. Also to our VIPs – thank you for also being
there – we love sharing this afternoon with you.
Paul McGrath our MC – a huge thank you and Stephen
Chu – with his fantastic photos, who is always there to
support our Nippers. Hopefully that will continue next
season.
Lastly to my helpers – Di Thompson for helping with
our function and Julie McKinnery with her fantastic slide
show. I could not do it with out you and my support from
North Cronulla.
Look forward to another season – see you next year.
Paul McGrath – MC.

Jason Gollan, Education & Training Director.
Education & Training
Director’s Report
Wow – where to begin, this season has been a blur to say
the least, but also very rewarding.
When I was asked to step up to the role of Education
and Training Director at the last AGM, it was met with a
mixture of feelings – from one of honour in just being
asked, to one of complete trepidation in fear of failure,
based on the fantastic level of Surf Life Savers the North
Cronulla Club has produced over recent years, compared
to other Bate Bay Clubs.
I can say this openly and it is reflected towards Scott
Marshall – who in recent years did this role and also
mentored myself into the role of Trainer.
So it is with a large thank you to Scott, that I was able
to jump in and have a real go at the role – which I must
say I have thoroughly enjoyed.
To the Board of Directors, I thank you for your guidance,
understanding and helping the Education and Training
Section develop further and in obtaining a grant for an
additional training equipment with a new Oxy-viva and
Training Defibrillator, which allows us to train larger ARTC
groups. I have enjoyed working closely with you all.
The start of the year saw 54 kids take their first real
step into becoming Surf Life Savers for the North Cronulla
SLSC – in doing their Surf Rescue Certificate – and 48
Bronze Medallion candidates being undertaken.
The next eight weeks saw many challenges for all
candidates, but also for myself and our dedicated Trainers
in Steve Cardy, Peter Loomes, Mark Anders, Lee Howell,
Gavin Duffy, Peter Molye, Max Walker Geoff Budd and
Shane Wolbank and some fantastic helpers along the way.
Without their time, help, passion and the understanding
of their own families to attend many nights and weekends
training, the 100% success achieved in these Awards would
never have been achieved. So thank you all for your time,
patience and understanding it is great to know we all have
the same goals.
After the initial chaos of the SRC and BM a further
three groups of Bronze Medallion candidates were trained
with the same 100% success for a total of 63 Bronze
Medallions.
With the ongoing guidance of Scott Marshall, both Steve
Cardy and I were able to complete our ARTC Training
Officers Accreditation, allowing us to train and present a
further 32 ARTC candidates for assessment, with all
passing and further strengthening our quality of Patrol
Awards for the Club.
Steve’s previous life as an Ambulance Paramedic has
been paramount in the success of all our candidates, as
his knowledge and mentoring in this advanced life support
award, is second to none.
The IRB Section with Joel and Darren, saw a total of
13 people gain their IRB Crew Certificates, which adds to
strengthen our Patrols and IRB Race Team.
The issue of Proficiencies remains one area where the
Education and Training Section needs to focus on – so as
to make it as fluid as possible, yet meet the requirements
of Surf Life Saving’s own requirements.
This year saw a total of nine Proficiencies being
conducted over various weekends, with most people
attending – to most people’s surprise, even “Boaties” had
a large contingent early on and managed to get through it
without too much problem.
However, like most years, there was always the last
minute rush and we did have to beg for an extraordinary
Proficiency to be carried out Under-the guidance of Sydney
Branch, which is the only real disappointment I had over
the season.
In addition to the Bronze Medallion and Surf Rescue
Certificates gained over the season, the Club also presented
a number of candidates for the following awards: Silver
Medallion Beach Management, Silver Medallion Aquatic
Rescue, ATV, Training Officer Certificate and Assessors
Awards – with great success achieved by all.
It is hoped that these Awards will further strengthen the
high skills base on all of the Club’s Patrols, making us the
best prepared Club in the Bate Bay Area.
To our Office Staff – Sheridan and Glenn-Marie. I thank
you for your patience over the last season.
For the printing of the many forms required by our team,
the processing of all the Proficiency Cards and Assessment
Forms of candidates and dealing with the many emails
and stories of some!
Your help is very much appreciated not only by myself,
the Education and Training Section – but all Club Members
and new Award holders.
Finally and most importantly, to my own family and the
families of all our Trainers.
I thank you all so very much for your patience,
understanding and for the time we spend providing others
with Surf Lifesaving skills.
I know it has not been easy at times, with the many
hours we spent training over the season. However, the
single live that could be saved by one of our wonderful
Members as a result – is a credit to you all and you are
very much appreciated by North Cronulla SLSC.
Thank you.
Jason Gollan, Education & Training Director.

AUSTRALIA DAY 2013
SURF LIFESAVING
Young champs are
lauded as heroes
■ Swimmers rescued
Sport captured the sand
and surf around Bate Bay
on Australia Day, where
Brad Forrest and
photographer Chris Lane
found plenty of action, for
young and older athletes.
TWO
state
surf
lifesaving
champions, but too young to gain
their bronze medallion, have been
praised for their quick work in
saving the lives of two much bigger,
and heavier swimmers in choppy
surf recently.
They were lauded, appropriately,
while competing in the annual
Australia Day North Cronulla Junior
Ironman carnival on Saturday.
North Cronulla 14-year-old junior
lifesavers Jye Highfield and Lochie
Davis played down their own
efforts, but patrol captain Kane
Hughes said their efforts were “quite
amazing’’.
The boys had been on patrol
before gaining permission from
patrol captain Hughes to go for a
paddle near North Cronulla’s Alley,
popular with boardriders but rated
as one of the most dangerous
beaches in Sydney because of flash
rips and undercurrents.
The two under 15 patrol members,
who only had their surf rescue
certificate for just over 12 months
and are only in their first year away
from the Nipper section, were asked
to check with the surfers in the area.
They soon discovered two men in
distress, outside of the flagged area;
one of them had gone under the
water and was drowning.
‘‘There was a big swell and I had to
quickly get him above water,’’ said
Lochie, as Jye came to the assistance
of the other swimmer.
They were able to not only retrieve
the swimmers but successfully
return them to shore on a rescue
board to the waiting patrol, who
acted swiftly to apply oxygen
therapy to one of the swimmers.
An ambulance was called to take
him to Sutherland Hospital.
Kane Hughes, who was in the
patrol tower, described their rescue
as ‘‘one of the best’’ he had seen.
‘‘Despite the fact that both men
were 100 kilograms plus, the boys
acted swiftly and professionally,’’
Hughes said.
‘‘As competitors, they recognise
that
competition
helps
in
developing their lifesaving skills,
and these boys are already state
board and swim champions.’’
Heroes: Lochie Davis and
Jye Highfield who saved
someone in the surf.

2013 State Team
To make the NSW State Team takes a lot of
determination, loads of training and dedication. I was
privileged to become a Member of this season’s NSW
State Surf Life Saving Team.
I came away from this event learning a lot of things
and gained experience on what it is like to be
competing alongside and against some of the best
athletes in Australia. It was a great experience to be
taken under the guide of Team Captains like
Ironwoman and Olympic Kayaker – Naomi Flood and
Pool Rescue expert – Andrew Bowden, who both have
so much experience in racing.
The Team Coach Geoff Mowbray, has had a lot of
experience as a Coach and was able to pass his
knowledge and expertise down to give me the best
chance at racing. Being part of the Team, I learnt a
lot from him and knew that we as a Team and myself
as an individual, would be able to race to the best of
our ability.
I could have only got to this point representing North
Cronulla, Sydney Branch and NSW – with the help
from all of my Coaches. Steve and Wal can handle
any situation and without Coaches like them, I would
not have made it to where I am now.
Also my Swimming Coach Leanne Speechly, the
one that gets up and comes to the pool at 5.00am
every morning, to teach the proper technique needed
to be a good swimmer. Without all this support from
my Coaches, I wouldn’t have been able to achieve my
goal.
The excitement when we found out NSW had won
the Interstate Championships was amazing.
Everyone knew that every single Team Member had
put in their all – to come out on top and beat
Queensland.
Standing on the first place podium – and looking
around to see the whole Team with smiles on their
faces was something I will never forget.
Lachlan Moyle.

Competition Report
The past season has been one of the busiest over the
summer – with the Coolangatta Gold, World Titles in
Adelaide, North Cronulla Christmas Carnival, Interclub,
Intercities, Branch, State Titles, Australian Championships,
Boat Carnivals, Representatiive Team Trials, Club
Championhips, Surfing Competitions – and finishing the
year with the IRB Championships. Add in a few other
Carnivals and there wasn’t too many free weekends over
the summer.
To the Officials, Water Safety, IRB Crews, Coaches,
Section Leaders, Management, Office and Organisers – I
would like to thank you for your endless efforts and valuable
time throughout the 2012-2013 Season – you have been
a great support to our Club and help create an environment
that we want to be a part of.
The Club had another successful year with great results
at the many carnivals throughout the year – with the
following finishes at the Major Carnivals:
Australian Championships – 9th
World Championships – 5th
Ocean Events Under-20 – 5th
IRB – 13th
State Championships:
Opens – 3rd
Juniors – 7th
IRB – 9th
Interclub Carnival – 1st
Both the Opens and Juniors dominated at all the other
Carnivals, not finishing out of the top five. Our Masters
Competitors performed admirably with some great results.
It was pleasing to see the number of Competitors
increase again this year.
North Cronulla are proud recipients of 19 State,
Australian and World Championships for 2012-2013:
1 x World championship
11 x State Open Championships
4 x State Junior championships
3 x Australian Title Championships
All these recipients have received well deserved accolades
throughout our Annual Report and at our prestigious
Presentation Night and Gold Medal Night.
To top off a great year, we had 11 Members chosen in
the Sydney Branch Team – with Lachie Moyle selected to
represent NSW – and Will Budd before the start of the
season – was selected to represent Australia in the Under21 Development Team in Japan.
The IRB also had five Representatives make the NSW
Team – Joel Eaton, Mitch Cardy, Sam Freeman, Kane
Hughes and Jarrod Kucler.
Congratulations to Michelle, Kevin, Donna and the
Junior Committee for another fine season with the young
Competitors. Especially battling those adverse conditions
at the State Carnival. We really have a great crop of youth
coming through the system and I look forward to seeing
them compete in the Senior Section of the Club.
North Cronulla was host to this year’s Interclub Carnival.
The programme was revamped and a new Shield added –
named after our own Great Member, – “The Harry Brown
Rescue Shield” – which was won by North Cronulla in its
inaugural year – along with the “Harry Gibbons Surfboat
Shield”.
The Interclub Carnival is steeped in history and it has
Page 52
been 18 years since the mighty “Blue & Gold” have been
able to call ourselves Interclub Champions and holders of
the “Bill Marshall Trophy”!
With some superb efforts from our athletes – young and
old and overcoming some minor rule clarifications – the
mighty North Cronulla are once again winners of the
Interclub Carnival and the “Bill Marshall Trophy” is back
in its “Spiritual Home” – within the four walls of our
Clubhouse. Well done to every Competitor and special
mention to the unbelievable effort in the Board Races –
we won every race except one. Steve, Wal and “Cammo”
should give a bit of a “head wobble”!
Thank you to all that helped out on the day, including
the Assistant Team Manager for the day – Frank Schreuder,
who had a calming influence over the Team and for his
“Old School” knowledge and input!
We didn’t have favourable conditions for our Club
Championships this year and had to complete over two
weekends. We did though, get through all the events and
finished with Club Champions in each Discipline and
overall.
I would like to get more Competitors from each Section
involved with the day and an “After Club Championships
Function – to get everyone together.
Maybe we need to add Handicap Races to the agenda?
Anyway congratulations to the newly crowned Champions.
Well deserved.
I would also like to congratulate the following “Most
Outstanding Competitors for the Year”:
Under-15: The Under-15 Male Swim Team – Lachie
Moyle, Lochie Davis, Joel Walker and Chrisso Hoare.
These four young blokes have been undefeated all year
and were only four points off a perfect score, when taking
out the Australian Titles this year.
Under-17: A tie between Lara Moses and Ollie Hoare.
Lara was born a Competitor and shows great spirit and
determination in everything she does – she had a fine year.
Ollie has a fantastic attitude in everything he does – a
good young man with a bright future – twice Australian
Champion.
Under-19: Rory Jenkins. Rory has been a fantastic
Competitor for many years now and finds his name on
the “Gold Medal Wall” for a second time – a good bloke
and well deserved.
Open: Kane Hughes. Kane had a great season in both
the Boats and IRB – representing NSW in the latter. Kane
also dedicates a lot of time to Llifesaving and is a worthy
recipient.
Last of all, I would like to thank our Head Coach Steve
Warren – for his guidance and support throughout the year.
We both know it gets harder every season to pick Teams
with the talent coming through – but a good position to
be in.
“Baz” Shuetrumpf – as Touring Team Manager and
Carnival Organiser has been superb and a tremendous
help as always. Bobby Lovell – for his tireless work driving
the Team Bus and carting all our equipment to State and
Aussies. To Sheridan Hughes, for the hundreds of Carnival
Entries placed through the Office – and to the Members
who helped out with Patrols to cover the Competitors
while at carnivals. You along with the Coaches, Trainers,
Section Leaders and Area Managers, have all played your
part and I appreciate the support you have given to me
and the Competitors. See you all on the beach.
Jamie Primmer, Club Captain.
Beach Section Report
A mixed year on the beach. We had some great results at
the big carnivals, but it was frustrating that (for a variety of
reasons) we couldn’t get all our Beach Stars onto the
starting line. I’m convinced that if we had, we’d have been
a real threat to the stronger Beachie’s Clubs – such as
Stanwell Park, Manly and Cronulla.
Encouragingly, we seem to have a strong and growing
2km Run Section. Ollie Hoare continues to dominate his
Age Group (Under-17) – winning the Australian, State and
every other race he entered this season. We’d have to go
back quite some time before any one (or team) has been
so dominant. At the Australian – Drew Nuttalll, Matt Day,
Hannah Goman and Lili Gorman-Brown also finished in
the top dozen in their respective events. At the State, they
all managed to get points for the Club.
On the Track, Matt Day got a well-earned individual
Bronze Medal in the Under-15 Beach Sprint at the
Australian. This proved that his fifth place at the State
was no fluke. Matt has improved out of sight over the past
few years and is now well and truly up there with the best
in his Age Group.
Matt also anchored his Under-15 Beach Relay Team to
success. With Travis Hochwallner, Nathan Nolan and
Lochie Davis – he won Gold at the State and was looking
good at the Australian till a dropped baton in the Final
cost them any chance of a Medal. Damn that catching
practice with Ben Pomeroy!! The Under-17 Boys also
performed admirably, despite losing their two fastest
Runners – current season Sydney Branch Rep Cameron
Scott and his “Harold Matthews” Team-mate Lachlan
Hughes.
The boys got points for the Club at both the Australian
and State. So well done to Luke Hawkings, Jonathan
Buncombe, Tyler Gorman-Brown and Adam Leabeater.
Best Relay Run of the year? In my book, it’s a tie between
Adam and Nathan. Both had truly exceptional runs in the
Final at the Australian.
Travis Hochwallner in action.
Lochie Davis (left) and Nathan Nolan.
At the Interclub, with the help of Members from all
around the Club, we fielded competitors in all events and
performed creditably. There were two huge highlights from
this Carnival. Firstly, “Macca’s” charge down the track in
the Masters’ Relay – only to be literally hamstrung with a
few metres to go – then bravely hobbling on to finish the
race and gain a few valuable points for the Club. Then
there was influx of support for Alex Budd in her Flags. It
seemed as though every North Cronulla Member was there,
raucously cheering her on. As I mentioned last year, the
camaraderie in the Club at present is fantastic. Let’s keep
it up!
Our Nippers picked up a few Beach Medals and points
at the State this year, despite some atrocious conditions –
yes, even on the sand (and muck). Alex Rampoldi won the
Under-12 Girls Flags, following up her win last year!
Connor Flanagan was desperately unlucky not to grab
the loose baton in his Gold Medal runoff in the Under-12
Boys Flags, while little sister Lucy got Bronze in her Under9 Flags. Connor also made the Final in the Sprint. Big
brother Ashley had to be content with top-10 finishes in
the Flags and Sprint, as well as anchoring the All Age
Beach Relay.
Our venerable Masters also deserve accolades. Vanessa
Cawley, Linda Hawkins and Gladys Honer all got points
for the Club at the Australian.
Thanks as usual to Damien Bulian and Kristy Smith, for
helping with Coaching. Our Beach Competitors need to
fully avail themselves of such coaching talent.
To all the volunteers working behind the scenes who
have enabled our competitors to get to the start line –
thanks heaps! Looking forward to seeing you back on the
beach next season. Larry Leabeater, Beach Captain.

March Past Section Report
The 2012-13 Season saw technology go to new heights
as we incorporated not one – but two video cameras at
training and at some carnivals. Those Surf Club Members
who stumbled upon the use of a “GoPro” on a boom
tracking the wheeling of our team at training, must have
thought we were going a bit too far.
But the results of the season say that it made a huge
difference. The athletes of March Past, finely tuned that
they are, could never argue with the vision of faults and
correctness in technique that was being highlighted.
A wonderful tool for chief March Past Advisor – Bob
Hanson and his Coaching Group, for as the season
continued, the preparedness of Team Members to strive
for excellence became more apparent.
This season was definitive. As we had great success the
previous season at the Australian, the Team did not rest
on their laurels. Training was adhered to near full
participation at sessions (even when Rod tore his right
oblique and “Macca” had his hamstring tear . . . again!).
It was tremendous to have the support of Bryan “Pin”
Matthes, Scotty and Gav “Hall of Fame” Thompson to
assist and run their eyes over the Team. Also we had the
assistance of State and Australian Judges, Jeff Lucke,
Jeanette and Ray Isaacs – to advise and fine tune.
It would be remiss of me not to pay special thanks for a
great season to John “Tubby” Turner. This season “Tubby”
was a competitor, a coach and a capable cameraman
(“Cecil B. DeMille) to his friends)! After having his knee
replacement before the season started, one thought this
season was not on the agenda. With a great operation,
“Tubby” was up and at them and his support for Bob
invaluable. The clips taken by “Tubby” and sent by Bob to
Marchers were integral to Team performance.
A huge thank you to our Sponsors who have been
integral to the Section’s success – Toll Priority, Southern
Fasteners, The Caringbah, Cronulla Quality Smash
Repairs, Sincerity Funerals, Pracey Plumbing and
“Wokeye”. Sheridan Hughes and Bobby Lovell are great
supporters of the Club and their tireless ongoing assistance
to the Marchers is appreciated. Thank you!
The Nippers and Opens were impressive at our North
Cronulla Carnival, the first march of the season.
With a welcome return of Lenore McKinniery to the
Open Team, the Opens tied first with Caves (3 faults) and
our Nippers defeating Elouera.
The Wanda Carnival saw only a four teams competing
with Queenscliff winning on countback to us.
Wheeling let us down. It was great to see Warriewood
back competing at Wanda.
Manly is always a long march and this year it did not
disappoint. With a solid beat from the Manly-Warringah
Pipe Band, we marched with confidence and lost only 3
faults in the March (all on Wheeling). We came third on
countback to Collaroy Ladies and Caves. This was the
best result we have had there for many years.
Wet and cold conditions at the Coogee Carnival in
February had teams huddling in the summer sheds and
the Judges figuring out what to do. Every time I have been
to Coogee “Mother Nature” throws something at you.
Bob Hanson remarked after this March that it was our
best March of the season to date and that we were on
track. The team agreed after seeing vision while having
drinks at the nearby “waterhole”!
The Sydney Branch Carnival at Wanda saw our Nippers
and Opens Teams competing for Gold – and that is what
we got! Once again the roll-up by Teams and Judges to
the Branch has dwindled over the years and this season
we saw only four Teams in the Opens and five Teams in
the Nippers. The Nippers marched very well, but would
need to step-up for the State. The Opens still had work to
do in Wheeling and Spacing before the State.
March Past Section – Season 2012-2013.
Page 54
The conditions for our State March at Ocean Beach
Umina, were significantly different as compared to the
cyclonic weather the Nippers endured the week before.
However, the track we marched on was “fit for goats”
and the music – (no Band) was at about 92 beats per
minute – a “Death March”!
With surging water lapping at our heels at the start,
Morrie led us off. Unfortunately, we had great difficulty
with the beat – throwing us out with Spacing – 2 points
alone, but wheeling was impressive.
We lost by 1 point, with Caves taking it out and Northies
fourth. To our surprise, we took part in the Medal
Ceremony – as our results from this season compared to
last season – were superior and compared to other Clubs
we were awarded a Silver in the Handicap.
Our last competitive March before the Australians was
Queenscliff – where March Past was added to the program
due to the excessive time between the State and Australian
Carnivals.
Our preparation before this March was very good,
however on the bus and on the beach we totally lost focus.
The track we marched was fit for a merry-go-round and
we did not show it or the Teams we marched against due
respect. We finished out of the placings and it certainly
made for a lot of self and team reflection.
This season was the first season SLS Australia had
organised no Friday Heat for The Australians March Past.
A Friday Marching Clinic was organised, but we decided
due to other commitments from Team Members, that we
should not attend. This may be something that could have
affected our preparation for the Sunday Final . . . it makes
you ponder. Bob Taylor once again joined the Coaching
Group as well as Gladys, who filled in from time to time in
training. Gladys who had great success in the Masters,
has been a brilliant Team Member over the years. She has
continued to be a loyal Marcher, even though she has not
been selected in many competitions. Your diligence in
improving performance and knowledge has been
applauded by the Team!
Our preparation at Training Sessions was fantastic as
the two Bobs pinpointed minor faults in the Team. During
the five training sessions at Coolongatta and North Kirra,
the Coaches tuned and retuned every aspect with
technology being the masterful ace we had. By the last
sessions on the Saturday, the two Bobs, “Tubby” and
Gladys, could not see a deduction. Wheeling and Spacing
were cured and the backline was hitting the pole and closing
the gate perfectly. On the evening of our Team Dinner
and afterwards it was evident that we had done absolutely
all we could in training to prepare for the next morning.
A disgrace that we had to March at 7am in the morning –
the Team met at 5.30am, warmed up and began to
marshall at 6.15am. We were fourth onto the track with a
Band that played a beat that gave difficulty to some teams.
We had a mark-time at the start, but this did not affect
our performance. With Morrie leading us strongly from
the front, we gave our best. The course was long, but the
Reel moved comfortably with the front two. Felt good!
Once again the exercising of Down-Reel at the
Australians is made to feel rushed and unimportant – this
is sad and may be a comment. The Ceremony for our
recent loss of young Surf Lifesavers was solemn, but the
absence of the National Anthem was an absolute shame!!
With all the confidence and preparation, unfortunately
we finished 9th – one point away from 1st. In fact 12
Teams finished within one point of each other. Are we all
that good? Do Judges have to be tougher? I don’t want
this result to reflect our season. This season demonstrated
that we have a fine Team and a great Coaching Group
and Support Crew. It is hoped that we can keep our Squad
together for next season.
On behalf of the Team – thank you Bob Hanson. Your
Coaching is outstanding as well as your attention to detail
in the machinations of Team Performance. I have not been
coached in any sport by someone as passionate to the
team as you, Bob!
Congratulations to Brian Cowan, for his deserved Award
of “Most Outstanding Marcher” and Tracey McKinniery
as the “Most Improved Marcher”! Their diligence and hard
work is reflected in the Team’s results.
The Open Team: Morrie Tattle, Frank Schreuder
Brian Cowan, Bill Goldthorp, John Turner
Kevin Macnamara, Rod Fowler, Kevin Boggiss
Kim Glasson, Karen Goman, Tracey McKinniery
Lenore McKinniery, Michelle Hawkings, Gladys Honer.

Rescue and Resuscitation
Section Report
Another great year of participation having six Teams
competing this year. It was always going to be a tough job
to match last season’s top results – such is the sport of
R & R, the mixture of straight racing coupled with Judges
“opinions” on the day
We also tended to dominate some events i.e. having
three teams in a Final, which in my mind can be detrimental
to results – a somewhat “overbearing” North Cronulla
presence.
All in all though, we had some fantastic results
throughout the season, which the Section should be very
proud of. We had multiple Medals at State Championships
and a Bronze at Australian level.
Any Australian Medal is a good one – any final place is
to be commended. More so, the teamwork that the Teams
showed towards each other and the collaboration again
of our Coaches continued to make the section strong. A
magnificent effort from a bunch of fantastic people.
Our “Most Outstanding R & R Competitor” for this
year goes to the Under-17 Open Team of Bryony Black,
Maddy Mckinnery, Jade Jenkins, Hannah Goman and
Chelsea Robertson and coached by Karen Goman.
This Team were on fire for most of the season. They
were winning all carnivals in not just their Age Event, but
also in the Under-19 and Open Divisions. They are the
NSW Open Women’s Champions and also placed second
in Under-17 and fourth in the Under-19 Event.
What makes this Team outstanding though, is the
professionalism they conduct themselves with on the beach
and the dedication to training. These girls were the best
Team on the beach and still competing in the Age Divisions.
I really hope they continue on – remember girls,
sometimes it just takes a little longer to get on the North
Cronulla Wall, but it’s worth it (just ask the Open’s).
“Most Improved Competitor” was difficult to pick one
individual with new Members in the Under-15, Under-19
and Open Teams this year – all showing fantastic growth
and dedication.
In the Under-15s the entire Team made great roads
between State and Australian, just narrowly missing out
on a Medal. In the Under-19 Team, Sydney Cramb joined
last year’s Gold Under-17 Team and fitted in quickly – she
Under-17 – “Most Outstanding R & R Competitors”.
Page 56
trained hard and was rewarded with an Australian Bronze
in her first year – not a bad effort!
In the Opens, a tougher ask, joining last year’s winners,
to learn the beach positions with both Trish and Monika
very keen. In the end, the Award was given to Monika
DiMaio.
Monika joined as our first on-line, which is one of the
hardest positions to learn, with a great deal of responsibility
and strength required. Monika was always on time,
committed to learning and was always offering to help in
any way she could. In addition to R & R, Monika was
dedicated to her Patrols and IRB Racing – moving her into
the all round “Great Club Person” category.
A huge thank you to all of our parents, partners and
supporters of all of the Teams who have helped our
Section. The Section’s biggest fundraiser – “Hawaiian
Night” is a massive effort and is also a massive money
earner for the Club.
It’s an extremely hard night to run – we had over 200
people to manage, with a line stretching around the Club
to get in. Demand on our ticket sales, our Bar “Wenches” –
the DJ Under-pressure, the supervision of so many Under18s, security etc and the huge clean up was all managed
by parents and Coaches.
In addition you all help putting up tents, carrying reels,
washing equipment and carting the kids to and from
carnivals. You are the unspoken heroes – and our
Competitors and Coaches would not be able to do it
without you.
To the Section Coaches and Assistants. You are the
best of the best. I am continually impressed by the
collaboration and can attribute the Section’s success on
the sharing of information and watching each other’s
teams. It has also enabled our Teams to form strong
bonds. We are one unit and our Teams benefit from the
experience of all the different styles and experiences.
All of us have “day jobs” and the time it takes to coach
R & R is significant.
“Styx” our President, still managed to squeeze in the
time to coach a Team. Karen Goman coached three Teams
in addition to competing herself in March Past –which goes
above and beyond the call of duty for North Cronulla.
Additionally, Ben Dillon took a step beyond his Club
running the R & R Event for Sydney Branch each weekend,
which was a huge job and particularly at the State was a
challenge – and he did a fantastic job.
At the Australian, Ben took over the job of coaching
my Open Team, which doubled his duties up there. Thank
you all so much for your time and dedication.
Special mention to our Section “Boot Camp” Fitness
Co-ordinator Linda Hawkins – thank you for taking off your
“Boaty hat” and lending your expertise and time to help
the Section increase fitness and strength. The weekly
sessions were loved (and somewhat loathed) by all the
Competitors and was a great way for all the Teams to
come together weekly for a common goal.
Finally an extra special thank you to Brian Cowan, who
was always there for the Section assisting us with tents
and even setting up a special Cowan ute, to transport the
reels to every carnival. This made going to carnivals so
much easier this season!
Lastly to the competitors – thanks for a great summer,
you have all been so great, carrying things for me, making
me laugh and keeping me entertained and informed even
when I couldn’t be there with you at Aussies.
You are the reason I come back each year!
As the season progressed, the results were fair, reflecting
more their natural talent to harmonise as a Team, than
the minimalist preparation performed.
A Gold in the Open Women’s and a Silver in the Under19s at Sydney Branch – a Bronze in the Under-19s and
fourth in the Open Women’s at the State and then a Bronze
in the Open Women’s and fourth in the Under-19s at the
Aussies. In the frame – but only just.
The bright spots for the Team’s development were firstly,
the broadening of the experience base within the Team,
with new roles being learnt, secondly – the Team’s personal
best points improving to two points and thirdly – but most
importantly, they still appear to be having loads of fun just
doing R & R.
Ben Dillon
Open Women’s R & R – S. Buncombe, T. Cowan
M. Deguara, M. DiMaio, L.Mahoney.
Open Women’s R & R – Gold
A fairly new line up in the Open Women’s team with only
two original members from last year’s Open team returning
Maddy Deguara and Lucy Mahoney. Joining them was
another seasoned competitor Stephanie Buncombe from
last year’s 19 team and then two total novices to the sport
Trish Cowan and Monika DiMaio. We started the season
somewhat early for an open team due to the fact we had
a very new team with a lot to learn. Trish and Monika
impressed me by picked things up pretty quickly but making
the team gel into a synchronised unit took a fair chunk of
the season with some ‘anatomy’ issues to overcome and
some definite strength building required. The team had
somewhat mixed results during the season with a mediocre
result at State. We stepped up the training with the girls
heading up to Queensland and really giving preparation
their best shot with up to four sessions a day with various
coaches. The girls performed really well with Lucy showing
she is still North Cronulla’s best belt swimmer continuing
to win the swim, and Trish pulling out the guns winning
the haul in!! Unfortunately the girls just narrowly missing
out on a medal at the Australian coming in fourth another
season for the newbies should see them in the medals. It
was a really fun season with no drama, fighting etc. These
girls really stepped up and took on some of the
responsibilities for the section with me not being able to
make the trip to Qld this year. A really big thanks to the
team, and to our friends at Bondi, Paul Edwards and Ben
Dillon who put in additional hours to get the team ready
for Aussies.
Under-19 Mixed R & R Red – K. Boyd, E. Cowan
S. CrambK. Janssen, A. Stokes-Hughes.
Under-17 Mixed – Pink
The Team of Chelsea Robertson, Hannah Goman, Jade
Jenkins, Maddi McKinniery, Bryony Black and Coach
Karen Goman, were on a mission this season as second
year Under-17s. We had some outstanding results
throughout the year, winning the East Coast Series, Under17s at Manly Carnival, Under-17s and Under-19s at
Sydney Branch, second in Under-17s at the State and
then the highlight becoming the NSW Open Women’s R
& R Champions for 2013!
Under-19 Mixed R & R – Red
This was a fuzzy season for the Under-19s Team. All the
elements were there, but not quite in focus. A season in
which to rebase, amidst the distractions of HSC and settling
into University with more time being allocated to work
and social pursuits. So who wants to go marching,
marching up and down the beach? Training for a third of
the hours standard for prior seasons, with negligible
coaching supervision at carnivals – a line up change with
a new Patient – Sydney Cramb and rotation of roles
between Alex Stoke Hughes in Belt, Kate Boyd on the
Reel and Erin Cowan and Kate Jansen switching Linesmen
positions. The Under-19s competed throughout the season
in both the Under-19s and the Open Women’s 5-Person
R & R.
Under-17 Mixed R & R Pink – B. Black, H. Goman
J. Jenkins, M. McKinnery, C. Robertson.
Page 57
During the season, the girls continued to display the
same determination, dedication and commitment to
training and competition that they have shown for the
past four years
Anything I asked of them they gave me without question
or hesitation.
They also performed so consistently strongly at carnivals
that their performances often attracted compliments from
the Judges and Officials of other Clubs.
They continued this form into the Aussies, where they
secured spots in three Finals – Under-17s, Under-19s and
Opens.
Unfortunately, however on the final day of the Aussies –
even though we continued with our strong performances
on the beach – the Aussie Gold remained elusive.
Thank you girls for all your hard work. You are a great
bunch – who made my job as a Coach enjoyable and
entertaining.
I am proud of you all and would love to see you all back
next season.
Karen Goman – Coach.
Under-17 Mixed – Team Magenta
After a good start last year as Under-15 R & R
Competitors, this season was disrupted with Team Member
changes – learning new positions and skills and the late
recruitment of a Patient to form a Team.
The Team Members were Kiera Harvey, Claudia Platzer.
Bridget Duffy, Lucy Greene and Carmen Loomes and after
our slow start, they formed a good Team with good Team
spirit and I enjoyed coaching them again.
During the Australian Under-19 Mixed R & R Event,
our young Belt Swimmer Claudia, damaged her calf muscle
during the Wading Section of the Belt Swim, but completed
the whole event including the March Off.
This was a gusty effort and depicted the spirit of the
Team and how they supported each other during the good
and not so good times.
Once again, the “Dads” transported the whole team to
the Australian Titles and back home and I thank them for
their support of keeping the Team together during the
season.
They now have a good base and understanding of the
extra challenges requited to compete at the State and
Australian Championship level and that will be an
advantage to the Team next year.
Craig “Styx” McKinniery.

Under-15 Open R & R – G. Goman, C. Cowan
A. Chadwick, K. Nuttall, T. Garland.
Under-15 Mixed R & R
This Team of Grace Goman, Caitlain Cowan, Amber
Chadwick, Kirra Nuttall and Taleisha Garland was thrown
together after Christmas, so that North Cronulla could
have some representation in R & R in this Age Group at
Open Carnivals.
Although Grace, Taleisha and Kirra had done R & R as
Nippers, Amber and Caitlain were fresh to the event. In
fact the Team didn’t even know each other when they
began training.
However, it didn’t take long for them to gel as a Team
and for the girls to become great buddies.
The best performing R & R Teams are always the ones
that get along well with each other and these girls certainly
did.
Consequently, there was lots of uncontrollable giggles,
singing and dancing performances at Training Sessions
with a bit of hard work thrown in between too.
This formula seemed to work well for these girls and
they improved out of sight in a really short space of time.
Within a month of starting, they competed at their first
major carnival – Sydney Branch, where they finished with
a Silver.
They then went on to the State, where they placed sixth,
only marginally behind the three Medal Winners.
Then at the Aussies, they took it up another notch and
surprised everyone by finishing third in the Heat and fourth
in the Final, on a quadruple countback.
They were so close to a Medal and considering their
inexperience in the event and their first Australian Titles,
this was a sensational effort.
Thank you to the parents of both Teams, who were so
supportive of me throughout the season.
It makes the job of Coach so much easier and more
rewarding to have the back-up of parents.
Lastly, thank you to Taleisha, Grace and Kirra, who
were doubling up in two Teams and often were required
for training four days a week.
It was a great season. Well done and I hope to see you
all again next season.

N. Hardgraves, K. Nuttall, T. Garland, L. Sharpe.
Junior Club R & R
The Team:
Natasha Hargreaves, Kirra Nuttall, Lauren Sharpe
Grace Goman and Taleisha Garland
This was this Team’s second year of Junior R & R
Competition and they started off the year well, with a
Gold at the 4-Way and a first at the North Cronulla
Carnival.
We then travelled over to the annual Manly Carnival in
January and placed third behind a strong Collaroy Team
and a Victorian Team.
We were pleased with these results and at this stage
things were looking promising for us at the up and coming
NSW Junior Titles.
We continued this good form at Sydney Branch – where
we won for the second year in a row – narrowly beating a
young Bondi Team – on a countback.
Then it was time to head off to the Junior State Titles,
where we were dealt the most atrocious weather possible
for three days.
Our Team was at its peak and ready to compete, but
unfortunately it was decided that R & R would be
postponed until the following week and run with the
Seniors.
This meant we had to turn around a week later after
no training and fit around various Senior Events to
compete.
Unfortunately, we were not given a fair go and only
got one run through (a straight out Final) and had very
little opportunity to warm up before we were literally
thrown on the line.
This combined with not being able to train all week
probably cost us a chance of a Medal and we eventually
finished fifth.
I would like to especially thank Donna Hargreaves, who
only got back on the Wednesday after Junior State and
then turned around and came back on the Friday night
with Natasha and Lauren, so the girls could try for a second
time to compete on the Saturday.
It was a long way to go back to only be given one five
minute run through and spend hours waiting around for
those five minutes.
Congratulations must still go to this Team for their hard
work throughout the season and their back-to-back 4Way and Branch Title wins. Well done girls. Again thanks
to all and I hope to see you guys around next season.

Swim Section Report
It’s encouraging to see the injection of strong swimmers
from our youth over the last few years. The Swim Section
is starting to build into a formidable force and the future
looks extremely promising.
Jack Harrison had another strong year and continues
to improve, showing that he can mix it with the best at
carnivals, in any conditions – keep up the hard work mate.
Joel Walker has already established himself as a strong
Surf Swimmer at the tender age of 15, with strong results
throughout the year – finishing with a State Silver Medal
in the Surf Swim and Gold at the Aussies in the Swim
Team. Hot on his heels are the two Lochies – Moyle and
Davis – both great Surf Swimmers and I look forward to
seeing them team up with our Under-17s next year.

Our young Nippers had some fine performances,
competing up in the Seniors and gaining valuable
experience when they move into the Senior Section full
time next year.
Chris Hoare had a phenomenal Surf Swim in the Final
of the Under-15 Sur f Teams at the Australian
Championship and along with Joel Walker, Lochie Davis
and Lachie Moyle – came home with the Gold Medal,
finishing the race with a total of 14 points – only four points
off a perfect score of 10 points. A top effort by these four
young blokes.
Ethan Garland is another Junior that has a big future in
Surf Lifesaving. Competing up an age in the Under-15s
Tube Race – he finished a credible fourth in the Final of
the Australian Titles and was very unlucky not to end up
on the Podium.
Hailey Lane is another promising Junior coming
through, that stepped up into the Under-15 Girls to help
out and had some powerful performances against the older
competitors.
The above results along with fine performances from
our other Age Groups this year, has capped off a fine year
in the surf and we look forward to further success next
year.
Jamie Primmer.
Board Riding Section Report
Wow! What a season and how much fun and success did
we have this year.
Growth within is a huge part and by providing the
opportunity and diversity of options we assist in Member
retention and satisfaction.
From the Nipper “Micro Grommets” through to our
Under-19s and Open Surfers, we have achieved growth
and high achievements in all areas and that is just so good
to see.
I recently spoke at length with the President of SLSA
about the growth and role of Surfing and as we read this,
SLSA is seriously considering adding Board Riding to the
Interstate Challenge Competitions, as they too realise that
Board Riding is on a “wave of success” and they want to
come for the ride as well.
Our Competitors surfed so well in a lot of local carnivals,
except of course the Interclub, mainly because of the
changed program and probably the fear of the other three
Clubs of how many points North Cronulla would get from
Board Riding, even though we did win fair and square this
year without the help – maybe next year – hey Jamie?
The State was sensational with our genius Surfer Rory
Jenkins leading the charge winning the Under-19 Open
Short Board, second in the Open Short Board – which he
then backed up a month or so later and achieved the same
results at the Aussies on Greenmount in Queensland –
fantastic to watch!
Also in the Under-19 Males at the State, Jarred Matthes
achieved a sensational third in the Short Board with his
younger brother Bradley, placing fourth in the Under-15
Short Board.
Dani Calo – one of our young ladies charging through,
achieved a second in the Open Mal and a fourth in the
Short Board. Sensational efforts were also achieved by
Ryan Brown, Bronte Howell and a great Team of Surfers
who contested virtually every event.
The Aussies were held in sensational weather, but varying
waves and again we achieved fantastic results and featured
all across events every day.
The growth is clear when competitors entered for
Surfing from 2011-12 to 2012-13 grew from just over
200 to over 540! Huge so watch that wave of competitors
rolling though.
Great results with as stated Rory winning the Under-19
Adelaide Robertson.
Jazmyn Turner – Third Australian Under-19 Female Board.
Luke Hawkings and Kyle Cameron.
and second in the Open Short Board. Jaz Turner was
third in the Under-19 Female Short Board and Veronica
Charles a third in the Under-17 Female Short Board.
Our President Craig McKinniery, was outstanding in the
Over-50 Masters Mal and was worth the price of admission
to watch him alone.
Again Dani Calo was so close as was Bronte, Brooke
Streater, Luke Hawkings, Luke Calo, Trent Purdie and
Kyle Cameron and our genius Under-15s of Bradley and
of course Adelaide Robinson, who progressed though and
was on fire only to fall unlucky to what we think was a
tricky situation and Judging error.
I know there were heaps there so hopefully I captured
you, but one thing is we did learn a lot and have great
plans for next season as we grow as a Section and really
enjoy the spirit of Competition.
North Cronulla Board Riding is the envy of so many
Clubs, as they ask how do we do it and why are we
successful. One simple answer –we have fun!
Lee Howell, Board Riding Captain.

Ski Section Report
The Ski Section has grown again this year in strength and
numbers – and in results.
We had some exceptional performances and we
developed our Ski Squad even more.
We were joined this year by three very good Ski Paddlers
in Kyle O’Brien in the Opens and Joel Briggs and Aaron
Markey in the Under-19s, all these guys added strength to
our Teams and enabled us to regularly field Open Six Man
Taplin Sides at major carnivals.
We also had two sides make the Under-19 Taplin Final
at the Aussies. A great Club effort!
We were very competitive at all carnivals all season. At
the Interclub, Luke and Lara Moses teamed up to win the
Open Mixed Double – and Luke teamed up Hayleigh
Sinclair to progress through in the Open Mixed Double at
the Aussies.
Our other Senior girl Kelly Primmer, again had another
very competitive season at all carnivals this year.
"Team Moses” – Open Mixed Double Ski.
"Thank you to our Sponsors"!
William Budd (centre).
Our Under-19 Boys – Will Budd, Jake Moses and Adam
and Luke Calo – again paddled very well and next year
when all the boys move up into Opens, we will require a
selection criteria just to make it into the second and third
Teams. A difficult, but nice problem to have!
At the Branch, Trent Purdie was within inches of
claiming the Under-17 Branch Title, but just lost out on
the homeward run.
Trent also progressed through the rounds at State and
Aussies and this year receives the Award for “Most
Improved Ski Competitor”.
Nicky Glasson had a great season, which can be
attributed to her never missing a session.
At the start of the season, long time Club Member John
Wilken approached me and said he would like to donate a
Ski to a Junior Member who shows commitment and
determination.
I had no hesitation is suggesting Nicky and I would like
to take this opportunity to thank “Wilko” for his generosity
to the Club. Nicky went on to paddle “The Wilko” winning
the Open Women’s Ski Club Championship –making the
Final of the NSW Under-17 Women’s Ski, just missing
out by one on making the Final of the Single Ski at the
Aussies – and paddling the Ski leg of the Under-17
Women’s Taplin, in which our three North Cronulla Girls –
Lara Nicky and Maggie – won the NSW Title.
Nicky this year receives the Award for “Most Outstanding
Ski Competitor”.

I would like to thank everyone that has helped during
my time as Ski Captain/Coach.
Everyone who helped with $$ – Steve and Wal for
working in and around our scheduled sessions, our
Sponsors and everyone who helped with equipment –
everyone who helped get our Section entered into and to
and from carnivals and training.
To my colleagues Scott Allen from Wanda, Grant
Wilkinson from Elouera and Phil Hamilton from Cronulla –
we regularly discussed how we can develop our sport
amongst the four Clubs and I appreciate your support
and friendship.
Mostly, I would like to thank the kids who have all come
to training and been prepared to listen and to work hard.
Good luck in your future – and have fun!
Paul Moses, Ski Captain.
Board Section Report
Well another big year with more kids wishing to paddle
the Boards.
Steve and Wal did a great job coaching the Members
from the Under-14 through to Open – at times very
demanding on them. Well done guys.
We had some good results over the year and some
disappointments – but that’s surf!
A very big thank you to all the parents who helped out
over the year – from the raffles to the towing of gear –
(Dene Glasson) – to the Aussies and helping out with the
Pool-2-Pool – we couldn’t have done it without all you
parents.
Thank you to Lou, Jodee, Kim, The Mays, The Budds
and Flemings – (Paragon Plumbing).
I am glad to see so many Nippers wishing to move onto
the paddle Boards – which can only go well to strengthen
the Section as well as the underground movement called
the “NC Chargers”!
Great to see the Members having a good time. Keep it
up boys and girls.

Surfboat Section Report
In my second and final year as Captain of the mighty North
Cronulla Boat Section – I am very proud to deliver a
summary of Season 2012-13.
We achieved a huge amount this season, with some
terrific results over the summer, culminating in three of
our Crews reaching their respective Australian Finals.
When assessing our performance at the Aussie Titles,
any metric shows that the North Cronulla Boat Section is
now in the top five Clubs in Australia. This exceptional
achievement is something we can all be proud of and
something we should fight hard to maintain over the
coming years.
Despite these achievements, there is more to our
Competitors than just our results – and more to the Boat
Section than just its Competitors.
I would firstly like to thank the many people involved in
helping the Boat Section to function. We have a huge
number of workers that help us get our Crews on the
water. While there are only five people in the boat – there
is a multiple of that number involved in seeing any Crew
line-up for a race.
North Cronulla Boat Crews at the Australian Titles.
Starting with our Sponsors – we have been lucky enough
to have the support of several very generous organisations
throughout the season.
Our long-term supporter Southern Fasteners, again
provided the backbone of the Section’s funding. We are
very grateful for the ongoing support of Colin Mulhall and
his entire team – the North Cronulla Boat Section would
certainly be in a difficult position without you!
This year we also welcomed two new Corporate Partners
into the Section – Saxby Cunningham Accountants &
Financial Advisers – as well as Hog’s Breath Café Cronulla.
We were very pleased to have Leone and Phil
(respectively) on board and hope that we can provide them
with a meaningful and ongoing involvement.
The Boat Section also received much appreciated
support from Brian Cowan at Cronulla Quality Smash
Repairs, Greg Green at DCL Engineering, Andrew Smalley
and Brian Clark from Trayd Pools and “Wokeye” in his
own right.
To all of these supporters – we are extremely grateful
for your involvement this season and look forward to having
you all involved well in to the future!
The Boat Section is also very lucky to have a fantastic
group of Coaches and Trainers involved. Our Competition
Sweeps for the season were – Steve Swane, Adam Purdie
and Mick Hawkins, while we also welcomed back Trevor
Page 64
Robson to the family. All of these guys swept our
Competition Crews with aplomb and allowed our Rowers
to achieve their full potential. We also had Jason Gollan,
Josh Soondarum and Craig Hawkings – join the fray with
our Development Crews.
We hope that our developing Sweeps will be with us for
years to come. With a collection of Sweeps such as these –
the Section is well placed to grow the number of Crews
representing North Cronulla over the coming seasons.
In addition to the Sweeps who guide our Crews through
the season – we also have a number of dedicated Coaches
lending a hand.
Foremost of these has been Terry “Dog” Dowers. Dog
has trained every one of our Crews throughout the season –
many on a weekly basis. The amount of time and effort
he has provided to our Section is unmatched. Coupled
with the quality of his coaching, his efforts through the
season have in no small part contributed to our success.
We are indeed lucky and extremely grateful to count “Dog”
as a part of the North Cronulla Boat Section.
We have also had a huge amount of assistance from
our Strength & Conditioning Coach – Corey Bocking.
Corey has held roles with several professional
organisations, the most recent of which being the GWS
AFL team. Corey’s innovative Training Programmes have
undoubtedly taken the Section to the proverbial “next level”
in terms of our out-of-boat training. We thank Corey for
his continued high-quality input.
Along with the ongoing input from founding fathers
such as “Worko” and “Aunty Jack” – the Boat Section
has as high a quality Coaching Staff as any Surf Club.
The collective effort outlined above is now well and truly
translating in to results. To see the fruits of this labour
start to bare, is hopefully as pleasing for those who have
taken an interest in the Boat Section in seasons past – as
is it for those currently involved.
Rest assured though, there is plenty more for the Boaties
to achieve over the coming seasons!
Open Men – North Cronulla Gold Crew.
Our Competition Crews for Season 2012-13 were:
• “Yappy’s” Open Men – North Cronulla Gold A Crew:
Ben Smollett, Matt Norton, Tom Chapman, Liam
Donohue and Steve “Yap Yap” Swane, achieved some
strong results through the season. Continuing North
Cronulla’s proud tradition in the Open Men’s Division,
the Crew performed well following several years together.
Ably led by “Yappy”, the boys capped off the season by
making the Australian Final – where they finished sixth.
• Mick’s Under-23 Women – North Cronulla Gold Fillies:
Robbie Morris, Lauren Bouffler, Ash Wright, Libby Jones
and Mick Hawkins, developed very well through the
season. Quickly adapting to a new combination, the girls
improved with every race. Gaining a Bronze Medal at
the NSW Titles, was topped only by finishing fourth at
the Australian Titles. Well done girls on a very successful
season.
Open Men – North Cronulla Blue Crew.
• “Purdie’s” Open Men – North Cronulla Blue A Crew:
Nathan Spinner, Brian Clark, Leigh Cotter, Andrew
Smalley and Adam Purdie, approached the season with
renewed vigour. Always showing plenty of fight, the Crew
trained as hard as, if not harder than, any Crew this
season. Taking the step up from Reserve Grade last
season, the Blue A Crew exemplified North Cronulla’s
growing strength, by joining the Gold A Crew in Open
Competition.
Under-23 Men – North Cronulla Gold Colts Crew.
• “Trax’s” Under-23 Men – North Cronulla Gold Colts:
Kane Hughes, Andrew Lambert, Angus Mackenzie, Joel
Croft and Trevor “Trax” Robson, performed very well
throughout the season. The Crew was a common feature
in almost every Final – with their Bronze Medal at the
Australian Championships. A just reward for their
consistency through the season. Congratulations on a
fantastic season.
Under-23 Women – North Cronulla Gold Fillies.
We also had several “Development Crews” in training over
the season. Consisting of a combination of sons and
daughters of Boaties past and present, as well as
Competitors from other Sections around the Club – we
look forward to these younger Crews continuing their
involvement in the Boat Section. The highlight of the
season for our “Development Crews” was undoubtedly
seeing the Under-19 Men’s Sydney Branch
Championships convincingly taken out by a bunch of North
Cronulla’s first year Rowers.
As the life blood of any sport, we are acutely aware of
the need to develop our younger Members. The Boat
Section’s focus on developing Junior Rowers will certainly
continue over the coming seasons.
A final thank you to everyone who has offered their
support and guidance throughout the season. On behalf
of both myself as Boat Captain, as well as the Section in
aggregate – we are nothing without the people involved.
Whether it was a passing comment on our efforts at
training, or an offer to tow a boat to a carnival – the level
of assistance offered from the broader North Cronulla
Community over the season, was simply staggering!
We certainly look forward to continuing our role as a
valued Section within the Surf Club next season. Thank
you to everyone who has helped us through Season 201213. We hope for a bigger and better 2013-14!
Liam Donohue, Surfboat Captain.

Master’s Report
The Masters season kicked off a bit earlier than usual for
us this season, with three of our Section game enough to
brave the cold and travel to Adelaide to compete at the
Rescue 2012 World Surf Lifesaving Championships in
early November. Gladys Honer, Max Lewis and Karen
Goman all had successful trips, managing to secure top
10 places in the World in their chosen events and enjoying
the International Competition and a bit of sightseeing while
they were there.
The next major Competition for Masters was not until
Sydney Branch – held in February. Here we welcomed
Linda Hawkins, Tony Sokowski and Barry Shuetrumpf as
first time Masters Competitors. Linda was very pleased
with her Silver in the Sprint, Tony also placed second in
the Surf Race and Barry was part of the winning Masters
Boat Crew with Nathan Spinner, Andrew Smalley, Brian
Clarke and Adam Purdie (Sweep). Some of our more
regular masters: Gladys, Shane and Nathan Wallace also
won Gold Medals at the Branch.
A month later it was time for the NSW Championships
where we had two more new Masters recruits: Vanessa
Cawley – who scored herself a Silver Medal in the Flags in
her first competition and a fourth and fifth in the Sprint
and 2km Run and Warren Lobb, who teamed up with
Steve Warren in the Board Rescue – and finished fifth.
The rest of our Masters Competitors were also very
successful, with Shane Whittaker winning two Gold in the
Surf Race and Ironman, Bronze in the Tube Rescue and
sixth in the Board Race. Gladys Honer picked up a Silver
in the 1km Run, a Bronze in the Sprint and a fourth in the
Flags. Linda Hawkins finished sixth in the 2km Run and
our Touring Team Manager Barry Shuetrumpf, got a Silver
in the 160+ Surf Boat Race with Andrew Smalley, Nathan
Spinner, Brian Clarke and Adam Purdie (sweep).
As always, the end of the season culminated with the
Australian Championships – where the stand-out
performance must go to the Masters Boat Section, who
entered three Crews and came away with three Medals
on a day when the surf presented plenty of challenges.
The 180+ Crew of Mick Crutcher and Braden Fleming
(last minute recruits), Barry Shuetrumpf, Adam Purdie and
Stephen Swane (Sweep) finished with a Silver Medal after
four gruelling Qualifying Rounds, just to make the Final.
One of which they had a change of Sweeps half midway
through the race because “Yap” needed a dip. The 160+

Linda Hawkins.
Crew of Adam Mulhall, Andrew Smalley, Nathan Spinner,
Brian Clarke and Adam Purdie (Sweep) finished with a
Bronze even after at one stage in the race, the only Crew
Member actually left in the boat was the Sweep! Luckily
they are all such superb swimmers!!
Then our final Crew was the 160+ Michael Bofinger,
Vaughan Meldrum, Dave Gregson, Wayne Turner and
Trevor Robson (Sweep) who didn’t actually end up rowing
in the 160+ Final. They decided that it wasn’t challenging
enough for them – so they went down 40 years to the
120+ Surf Boat Final, gave it all they had and finished an
impressive third.
Well done to all the Masters Boat Rowers – imagine how
well you might have gone if you had started training earlier
than three weeks before Aussies! Maybe an Aussies Open
Boat Title?
Finally, the most impressive performance of all by these
guys was saved for the Medal Presentation Arena – when
all three Crews got up on the Dais and sang the “Club
Song” loudly and proudly! Go North Cronulla!!
In the individual events, we had the ever consistent Shane
Whittaker finish his season with a Bronze in the Ironman
and a fifth in the Board Rescue Final, teaming up with
Nathan Wallace. Gladys Honer won her first Aussie
Masters Medal, with a Bronze in the Sprint then backed
that up with two more Bronzes in the 1km Run and the
Flags.
Vanessa Cawley was fourth in the Sprint and Flags and
Linda Hawkins was fifth in the Flags in her Age Category.
Congratulations to all the North Cronulla Masters this
season – it was a small but successful Team.
Next season it would be great to get a few more Masters
Teams together. I know there is a lot of Over-30s with
their Bronze Medallion, down at North Cronulla, who are
still very active. So why not think about getting a Taplin,
Ski, Board, Surf or Beach Relay Team together for next
summer and have a go.
It’s a great excuse to get motivated and do a bit more
physical activity and the atmosphere at Masters Carnivals
is always relaxed and enjoyable. After all – why should the
kids have all the fun?
Karen Goman, Master’s Captain.
Head Coach’s Report
Another fantastic season ended for North Cronulla – and
yes, as a Club, we are slowly climbing that mountain step
by step nearing the summit.
One prominent Member was heard to say “I hope I live
to see North Cronulla win another Interclub” – well after
an absence of 18 years we did – the “Bill Marshall Trophy”
is at North Cronulla.
To all the Coaches at North Cronulla – a huge thank
you for your precious time that you so readily give up, to
pass on your knowledge day in and day out and the
Coaches who have none of their own children involved,
that is something else – thank you. It is your dedication
that keeps North Cronulla moving forward.
Third place at this year’s NSW Championships was a
great result and some amazing talent was on show from
Members of our Club. North Cronulla were fortunate to
have the services of Kyle O’Brien, Aaron Faulkner, Joel
Briggs, Adam Meredith, Abby Pugh and Cheyne Leigh
Wardrop join us this season. The Swimming and Craft
Sections will certainly benefit from your talent.
I won’t mention a lot about other Sections as their results
and accolades will be noted in their respective Reports.
Our results at the Australian were a little down on last
year, but North Cronulla Members were in so many Finals
– and that was a huge improvement on last year.
To have two Under-19 Men’s Taplin Teams in an
Australian Final!!
Six Board Rescue Teams in Finals.
Two Under-15 Boys Teams in Board Relay Final.
Two Under-15 Boys in Board Final.
That certainly represents the talent and depth of our
Club. A fraction of luck and the results could have been
enormous.
Some of the highlights that I witnessed this season from
our Competitors are listed below. Some are not Medal
winning performances – but they are goals that these kids
achieved – that they and myself could not believe. But the
efforts that these kids performed at training, resulted in
them achieving such goals.
Rory Jenkins: NSW and Australian Board Champion,
once again – and a North Cronulla ex-Nipper.
Ollie Hoare: Under-17 NSW and Australian 2km Run
Champion does not know what less than 100% is.
Under-15 Boys Surf Team: Lachlan Moyle, Joel Walker,
Lachlan Davis and Chris Hoare. These boys created history
as the first Under-15 Boys to win this title for North
Cronulla – all four were in the top 10 at both
Championships.
William Budd: Under-19 NSW Champion Finalist in the
Open. Finalist in Under-19 and Open Board at the Aussies.
Kyle O’Brien and Aaron Faulkner: second NSW Board
Rescue, fourth at Australian Championships – very unlucky
not to place.
Under-15 Girls Cameron: 1st NSW Championships –
Cheyne Leigh Wardrop, Hayley Lane, Alex Budd and
Meghan Fowler.
Under-17 Taplin: 1st NSW Championships –
Nicole Glasson, Lara Moses, Maggie Mahoney
Under-17 Girls Board: Final Australian Championships:
– Clare Randall sixth.
Chad Moses: Under-15 Boys Board Australian
Championships sixth – a huge effort and a huge heart.
Ethan Garland: Under-15 Boys Tube – fourth Aussies –
still a Nipper (a huge future in Surf Lifesaving).
Steve Warren, Head Coach.
Under-19 Girls Board Rescue: 1st NSW Championships
– Kelly Primmer, Lara Moses – like clockwork, perfection.
Under-17 Girls Board Rescue: NSW Titles – 1st Alex
Budd and Lara Moses.
Under-15 Boys Beach Relay: NSW Champions – Lachlan
Davis, Matt Day, Nathan Nolan, Travis Hochwallner.
Lara Hughes – Finalist NSW and Australian
Championships Under-19 Board – when you consider that
at the Aussies only three NSW Paddlers made final – great
Lara.
Lachlan Davis: Under-15 boys Board Relay – one of the
finest last leg paddles Wal and myself have witnessed at
an Australian Title. The Team of Lachlan Moyle, Joel
Walker, Lachlan Davis – second NSW and Australian
Championships.
Under-19 Boys Board Relay: second NSW
Championships – Ollie Hoare, Jack Harrison, Tyler May –
once again a nail biting finish (go Tyler) last leg.
Lara Moses: Under-17 Girls Ironwoman – third. Had a
huge program at every carnival – was on the winning wave
at the Aussies – a fantastic season.
I must mention that early in the season a Team of North
Cronulla Members contested the World Championships
in South Australia – and performed exceptionally well.
In doing so Adam Calo and William Budd became our
newest World Champions in the Under-20 Board Rescue
– congratulations boys.
Also William Budd was selected in the Australian Under20 Team that toured Japan during last winter and our
congratulations to you also on your selection.
I believe that the coming season North Cronulla will be
an increased force in Bate Bay. After six years, our younger
Nippers will finally become Seniors. Thank you guys for
just being a great Team all the way through!
In closing, I would once again thank Ian “Wally” Wallace
for his effort and commitment to Coaching.
He has so much knowledge to give both at training and
competition – Wal you are an exceptional and integral
part of North Cronulla Board Section – thank you.
To all the parents – thank you ever so much for your
support both at carnivals and around the Club.
The Managers in all Age Sections at both NSW and
Australian Championships – thank you so much.
Steve Warren, Head Coach.

Touring Team Report
This season saw the mighty North Cronulla Touring Team
travel to Umina Beach on the Central Coast of NSW for
the State Titles in early March and then six weeks later in
mid-April, decked out and resplendent in their awesome
gear from Rip Curl – travel to North Kirra Beach, on
Queensland’s Gold Coast for the Aussie Titles.
At both carnivals a young, focused and committed Team,
went away and led and supported by some amazing Section
Leaders, Coaches and parents – performed brilliantly to
place the Club in the top three at State level and in the
top ten at National level.
While the athletic performance of Members from all
Sections of the Club were outstanding, the real plus was
the display of true enjoyment and peer support shown by
all Members of the North Cronulla Touring Team.
The Touring Team process begins with the unenviable
task of doing the entries for both carnivals and once again
a big thanks to Sheridan Hughes – for countless hours
–
liaising with Section Leaders and carrying out the data
entry.
For any Club to compete at Championship Carnivals
these days, a certain obligation to Water Safety and Official
numbers are to be met for each carnival and on behalf of
all Members of North Cronulla’s Touring Team – a big
thanks and appreciation is extended to our wonderful IRB
Team of Drivers – Darren Thorne, Dylan Brown, Mitch
Cardy and Jake Walker and also to our tremendous team
of Officials – Don McGroder, Michael Day, Tony Hughes,
Buzz Piddington, Paul Edwards, Ben Dillon and Dean
Glasson.
Put simply – without these guys we don’t compete!
To the “Minister of Transport” – Bobby Lovell and all
those who helped with the transporting of gear, tent setup, gear transfer, people transfer, etc. – during and to and
from the carnivals – a big thanks.
Also on a personal note – thanks to Bobby, Purds, Boffo,
Pete Moyle, Whale, Harro, Wokeye, Tracey Mac and
Sheridan – for making it a very enjoyable trip for a Team
Manager.
Pulling it all together and a true inspiration to young
Barry Schuetrumpf, Touring Team Manager.
Lawn Bowls with Kirra SLSC
and old at North Cronulla, is our very own Club Captain
Jamie Primmer.
The interaction with Jamie, the Area Managers and the
younger guys called up to make speeches at the many
daily Team Meetings, was a joy and inspiration to behold –
no one shied away, they all stepped up and delivered.
Jamie, thanks to you and your band of NC Charges,
this great Club is on a roll once again.
Barry Schuetrumpf, Touring Team Manager.
Members of the Touring Team – Season 2012-2013.

World Championships Report
North Cronulla SLSC was amongst 6,000 Competitors
from all over the World, who competed in the Rescue
2012 Life Saving World Championships on Glenelg and
Christies Beaches, Adelaide.
We selected 23 athletes to compete in these prestigious
Titles that take place in a different World Country every
two years. Within the Championships – five different
competitions take place:
1 – World National Championships
2 – World Interclub Championships
3 – World Masters Championships
4 – World Surf Boat Championships
5 – World Inflatable Rescue Boat (IRB) Championships
North Cronulla were represented in three disciplines –
Interclub, Masters and IRB.
Our Masters athletes – Gladys Honer, Karen Goman and
Maxi Lewis, were inspirational in competition because of
their continued commitment to succeed and are superb
role models for our younger Club Members.
IRB Team Captain – Joel Eaton was proud of the effort
his young Team had put in, especially against the more
experienced competition. With a little luck on their side
they could have made podium positions.
The IRB featured in some of the most nail biting Final
top 8 placings and finished in 13th position overall.
The Camaraderie from his Team Members made it a
memorable tour.
Finally, our World Interclub Youth Team – were
outstanding to bring home three podium finishes and a
fifth world ranking place in the Ocean Division.
Adam Calo and Will Budd proved unbeatable in the
Board Rescue Event – a fantastic performance and best
of all to be crowned North Cronulla’s very own – “World
Champions”!
In the same Final, Jake Moses and Luke Calo were so
unlucky to miss out on their podium position. Our new
Club Member Joel Briggs put in a great effort with strong
finishes in the Ski. We warmly welcome you Joel to North
Cronulla.
Lara Moses and Kelly Primmer placed third in a thrilling
Board Rescue Final bringing us the Bronze Medal.
Our Ocean Race Team of Lara Hughes, Hayleigh
Sinclair, Kelly Primmer and Lara Moses, produced a nail
biting finish to achieve another Bronze Medal placing.
It’s pleasing to note that both Kelly Primmer and Lara
Moses are double World Medallists.
Lara Moses also placed fifth in the Ocean Race Final,
seventh in the Board Final and was a Team Member of
Hughes, Sinclair and Primmer – to place fourth in the
Rescue Tube Rescue.
I was honoured to be Touring Team Manager of our
2012 World Team.
The words I quoted and was subsequently published in
The Leader article – Thursday, November 22, 2012 – best
sums up how I felt: “What inspired me was the
camaraderie between all countries in particular Italy,
Germany, Great Britain and the Malaysian Countries –
however, best of all he said – “was the sportsmanship
between our Bate Bay Athletes – it was inspirational
and “Hats Off” to Wanda, for winning the World Youth
competition – a great achievement!”
In closing, I would like to thank our Youth Team
Managers – Lou Moses and Jodee Calo – for their
exceptional effort with the Competitors, accommodation
and raising much needed funds to support the tour was
truly awesome.
And to you – our Competitors, well done and thank you.
You represented the “Blue and Gold” with pride and
achieved fantastic results. We are all so very proud of you.
Jamie Primmer, Club Captain.
