6 ABOUT THE CLUB Queenscliff Surf Life Saving Club Inc was formed on the 15th January 1924 following a public meeting called to provide surf life saving activities on the northern end of the Manly beachfront. Since 1924 Club members have patrolled Queenscliff Beach and its surrounds providing surf life saving and first aid support to the surfing public and the beach community. The Club has been affiliated with the Surf Life Saving Association, now known as Surf Life Saving Australia Ltd, since its inception. Queenscliff is now one of 21 clubs that form Surf Life Saving Sydney Northern Beaches Incorporated, which in turn is affiliated with Surf Life Saving NSW as well as Surf Life Saving Australia. Members of the Queenscliff Club currently patrol the beach from late September until late April. The Club is an incorporated Association under the terms and conditions of the Associations Incorporation Act.

8 PRESIDENT S REPORT "We are a family club, one that strives to foster & enrich our members, whilst providing a environment for ALL to participate & become the best that they can be in Competition, Life and Lifesaving" First and foremost to our newest Australian Champions, the U23 Boat Crew, the Brazzers, swept by Alex Welsh and comprising Lachlan Beatty, Sam Cornwell, James Molloy and William Slattery. In our 90th Season we are proud, once again, to report that no lives were lost under our watch whilst patrolling Queenscliff Beach, as has been the case since we first started active patrols in Our members, under the leadership of Life Saving Co-ordinator Gero Farruggio and his band of Patrol Captains, clocked up 11,000 hours on patrol as volunteers on Queenscliff Beach throughout the season from September to 28 April This year we achieved a score of 987 out of 1000 in Patrol Competition, which involves unannounced inspections with mock rescues and tests of our members skill levels on the beach and in the water. At season end, as has been the case in the past, several of our Patrol Captains and long serving Patrol Members have announced their retirement from active service and to them we say thank you and job well done. But as in the past, others will step forward to fill the gap, thus ensuring as a Club we will continue to meet our prime objective, NO LIVES WERE LOST ON QUEENSCLIFF BEACH. As a testament to this statement we achieved 255 awards in Life Saving, highlighted by 117 Bronze Medallions (over 15 years of age) and 58 Surf Rescue Certificates (over 13 years of age) thereby adding new members to our patrols. To our band of Life Saving Instructors, who enabled us to achieve so many awards, through your tireless efforts, as a club we say THANK YOU. In COMPETITION, Queenscliff placed 2nd in the overall point score amongst the 21 clubs from the Sydney Northern Beaches branch, once again confirming our depth of strength across ALL ages. More than 200 members travelled this year to Ocean Beach/Umina for the NSW Championships in March, with some memorable successes. Foremost amongst these were the achievements of Callum Lowe-Griffiths in U14s Water Competition. Callum won the Iron Man and Surf Race, then teamed with other club members to win the Surf Swim, and Board Team events plus 2nd in the Cameron Relay. These efforts combined with Callum s results during the season resulted in him being awarded The Saxon Bird Competitor of the Year award on Presentation Night and in doing so becoming the youngest ever recipient of this award. Callum and his team mates this year progress to Open Competition as U15s. Under the guidance of Coach, Chris Allum, our future in water competition is indeed strong. Congratulations from all of us on your achievements in winning gold. To our Masters Competitors, this season proved there is still life in all of you yet, sweeping all aside to win the combined point score at Branch, State and culminating in placing 4th (by 2 points) in the Aussies point score. Your standards of fair play in competition and dedication to training set the standard from which our youngest competitors can aspire. Once again our Club hosted several Surf Sports events (Carnivals) on Queenscliff Beach to which we say thank you to Manly Council for your co-operation in this area. Northern Beaches Credit Union Boat Carnival on Saturday 1 December 2012 Nippers Carnival on Sunday 2 December 2012 Open Carnival on Saturday 6 April 2013 Balgowlah RSL Swim for Saxon on Sunday 7 April 2013 Of these events, the Swim for Saxon is indeed the highlight. As a Club, with great pride we honour the memory of Saxon Bird. There isn t a training session completed or a race swum, where as a club we will ever forget you. Surf Clubs cannot survive without volunteers, donations and Sponsors alike and to all of those who contribute in some way we sincerely say THANKS. THANK YOU also to our club s major sponsors: Northern Beaches Credit Union Cunninghams Property Balgowlah RSL Memorial Club Navigate Financial/AMP Foundation Manly Council The Steyne Hotel So ends another season on the sand and in the water at Queenscliff Beach, one where each and every one of the Club s members can all be very proud of a job well done. To my Executive Group, Kathryn, Rob, Greg, Grant and Tim together with both the active Committee and Life Members I say thanks for your support throughout what, for me, was at times a difficult season. To Ryan and Lauren and in particular my wife, Lee, I say thanks for once again indulging me in giving up our time to be Queenscliff Club President. See you on the sand maybe on my Surf Ski, you never know! CRAIG SUSANS PRESIDENT The Aussies or Australian Championships this year were held at Kirra Beach on the Gold Coast in April. Our small 4 but competitive team achieved some great results.

10 CLUB CAPTAIN S REPORT Season has come to an end with a total of 11,000 Patrol hours carried out on Queenscliff Beach by our Patrolling Members. During the season, we had a relatively quiet year with 38 rescues, 238 First Aid incidents and 1824 preventative actions. Once again, we can say there were no lives lost on Queenscliff Beach whilst it was being patrolled. During the season we had 5 Patrol inspections with us averaging points out of 200 points each inspection. I would like to thank all Patrol Members, Patrol Captains and Vice Captains for achieving this great result. P1 James Keene, Pete Green, Mark Creighton P2 Colin Dagger, Graham Lugsdin P3 Paul Schott, Dave Webb P4 Steve Beaumont, Garth Hickey, Adam Taylor P5 Vacant P6 Vacant P7 Natalie Bayly, Andrew Townsend P8 Gero Farrugio, Ben Pilarski, Samantha Cleary P9 John Hoffman, Robert McNamara P10 Tiffany Hutcheson, Shaun Sursok P11 Luke Barlow, Gavin May P12 Paul Bodimeade, Maddie Perkins P13 Rob Mayer, Peter Chiswell P14 Mike Studden, Chris Briant, Will Camphin A big thank you to all retiring Patrol members for all their dedication over many years in making Queenscliff beach safe. A special mention must go to Patrol 4 for winning the Sydney Northern Beaches Branch Rescue of the Month in November There was an accident on the rocks and an off-duty Queenscliff Life Saver saw it happen and informed the Patrol 4 Captain who did a great job in getting everyone into action as well as getting assistance from some Patrol 1 life savers who were just leaving the beach. A great team effort by all and a good result, well done. It must be noted that Patrol 4 will look a lot different next year with the retirements of Captain Steve Beaumont and fellow stalwart Mike Laurence, and with them goes a lot of experience. Both have had long associations with Surf Life Saving and between them they hold close to 50 Surf Life Saving awards and are current members of the Queenscliff March Past team. Thank you to Mark McDougall and the Manly Council Lifeguards, who work closely with our members throughout the season, for their support. A big thank you to Gero Farruggio, our Life Saving Co-ordinator, for maintaining the Patrol roster and ensuring that all our Patrols went well this season. Also to James Keene for all the work he did as Senior First Aid Officer as well as all his Patrols. They made my job so much easier 6 by handling these difficult jobs with ease, thanks guys. My thanks go to Dave Torevell and all the Training Officers and Assessors that trained and assessed our members so they could carry out Patrols on the beach. A special mention to Cassandra Aitken, Barry Hughes, John O Toole, Samantha Cleary and Paul Taylor for helping me get another 25 boys from St Joseph s College Joeys through their Bronze Medallion so they could compete and Patrol for Queenscliff. Also a big thank you to our IRB Captain, Adam Shearsby, and Jayson Elkins along with all our IRB drivers and crews for all their water safety efforts carried out through the season. We are very lucky to have such a dedicated IRB group whose skills are among the best in Australia. The effort they put in on Patrols, especially on our carnival days and The Swim for Saxon, is phenomenal. I d also like to thank Kathryn Shearsby and Carla Thornton for the many hours of work in Surfguard with the entry of Patrol hours and statistics. Lastly but not least, I d like to pay tribute to my right hand man and mentor Barry Antella, he was always there to give me some guiding advice and help me if I was veering off course. Even when his ticker was playing up, it was hard to get him to slow down. Thanks Baz. LIFESAVING AWARDS RNC GLOBAL PROJECTS PATROL AWARDS. PATROL CAPTAIN OF THE YEAR JAMES KEENE. James made a significant contribution to Queenscliff SLSC and our community in the season. The phrase Keene by name, keen by nature was over used but reflects James hard work and commitment, dedicating over 130 hours towards his responsibilities as Patrol Captain for Patrol 1 and Senior First Aid Officer. He made a smooth transition into the Patrol Captain role, following in Jim Ashton s footsteps. Patrol 1 and 2 worked hard to suport the lion s share of Nippers this season. James is reliable and always full of enthusiasm. He has a broad appeal, earning the respect and admiration of his Patrol and colleagues, a great example to all patrollers. SENIOR PATROL PERSON OF THE YEAR GRAHAM LUGSDIN. Graham Lugsdin led by example on many fronts. On Patrols, Graham achieved 100% attendance and 100+ hours-both excellent achievements reflecting his dedication and commitment to Patrols and Queenscliff. In addition to being Vice Captain of Patrol 2, Graham can also be relied upon to support our carnivals as a First Aid Officer. This season, Graham also led a charity fund raising event during a Patrol- dress differently for the beach raising money for Skin Cancer awareness. Beyond the beach, Graham is responsible for Queensie s Grants and Sponsorships. A worthy winner on every front.

11 CLUB CAPTAIN S REPORT THE HEARD FAMILY SHIELD AWARD YOUTH PATROL PERSON OF THE YEAR. FEMALE YOUTH PATROL PERSON OF THE YEAR EMILIE KEENE. Emilie s nomination for this award was unanimous. Partly due to dedicating more than 60 hours towards Patrols and Carnivals. But almost certainly due to her enthusiasm and passion for patrolling and Queenscliff SLSC. Emilie is a highly valued member of the team who cannot do enough to help others Emilie is destined to follow her father s footsteps and is a future Patrol Captain of the Year in the making. MALE YOUTH PATROL PERSON OF THE YEAR JAMES GONDA. James contributes significantly to team cohesion and cooperation among the younger members of his Patrol. Always the first to volunteer for Patrol duties no matter the difficulty or danger, he has conducted Water Safety during rough and difficult surf conditions. James has completed over 80 hours on Patrol including over 50 hours volunteering for other Patrols. He is one of the youngest members to hold the Advanced Resuscitation Award at Queenscliff. 100 PLUS PATROL HOURS THE JIM ASHTON AWARD.

14 Our Nipper communications was greatly enhanced this season with the launch of a new website and newsletter format. The behind-the-scenes volunteers who kept this information flowing and looking very stylish were Kiersten Jones and Jake Condon. Three cheers to you both. We launched the season with our training weekend at Umina. Under the command of Tim Chief Hayes, more than 100 Queensie Nippers took part in all the activities. Weather was perfect and the surf conditions bigger than what we were led to believe Lake Umina lifted its game for us! Tim not only had our Nippers exhausted from the physical training, but their minds had to work overtime in some sessions. A set of mind challenges had the groups baffled, however positive Queensie teamwork helped them overcome the obstacles in the end. Thanks Tim and all the other Coaches for a fantastic start to the season. We are so lucky at Queensie that we have so much space as Nipper numbers continue to grow and every Sunday all you can see is a blanket of blue and red caps. We continued with the successful formation of the Under 6s into three groups Sharks, Dolphins and Marlins and the same with the Under 7s to form the Blue Whales, Barracudas and Sting Rays. Big thanks to all the Age Managers/Assistants in these age groups as it s a big task to entertain and at the same time teach so many Nippers. This year we started the Under 7s on the Grommet Boards in the surf and the results were fantastic. We were lucky with the conditions, as we all know the shore breaker at Queensie can make or break you! To see potential Queensie board paddlers conquer a wave for the first time was super exciting and this showed on the kids and parents faces. Our Under 8s were led by Luke and Sally, plus an array of other great and positive Age Managers/Assistants. It was their first year competing at carnivals and it was super encouraging, not only from a results point of view, but the amount of Under 8s that attended and gave their best for the blue and red of Queensie. I would like to thank all the other Age Managers, Assistants and parent helpers that contributed to the successful running of all the other age groups at our Sunday Nipper sessions and at carnivals. Our club was very well represented at all the carnivals this NIPPER REPORT season and the overall results continued a strong competition legacy. A big thanks to Liz Osborne for her continued support in running the competition entry submissions and fielding a barrage of questions.liz always had the right answers! A special mention to our Under 14s and their Age Manager, Pam Walton. A very special bunch of Nippers that have represented Queensie for many years and help us achieve some amazing results. We wish you all the best in your senior duties. To Pam, your commitment and passion should be bottled and passed on to future Nipper Age Managers and Assistants! We all know that our Nipper program will only succeed and grow through the voluntary time given up by our members. I really appreciated the support I was given in my role and would like to express my gratitude to you all. However, there is a necessity for me to take this opportunity to thank a number of people by name, as it can be a faceless task in ensuring Queensie Nippers succeeds: Craig Susans Tim Hayes Kathryn Shearsby Stephen Porter John O Toole James Boyce Dave and Julie Slennett Jo Farruggio Rob Daniel Peter Daley Barry Antella Alan Butler Lauren Susans Harry Hayes Ross Collins Rob Mayer And finally to a man I have the utmost respect for and have learnt so much from during my time at Queensie. I met this gentleman of the surf four years ago, when he would turn up every Saturday afternoon to nurture and build confidence in our Nippers when they were training in board paddling and surf swim. To watch Col White in action and to see the respect he generated from Nippers as young as 7 years of age, was truly remarkable. A big thank you from me, Col and I know there are a line of Queensie Nippers who would like to say the same. Go Queensie! Garry Gaz Farrar Big Nipper 10

15 SWIM, BOARD & SKI REPORT Queensie had a comparatively quiet season in the water competition area this year, with multiple athletes searching for greener pastures at other clubs. It was our Masters and Under 14s (competing up in Under 15s) that held the flag high for Queensie. That said, our Opens and U19 ski paddlers Reece Holland, Damien Daley, Dave Slennett, Mel Martinuzzo and Isabella Kristensen did themselves and the Club proud with some very competitive racing up to the semi finals at the Aussie Titles, plus medals and Top 6 placings at Branch. Simone Shearsby also achieved excellent results in board riding, a Silver medal at State, Silver and Bronze at Branch and a semi-final berth in the Opens at Aussies saw Callum Lowe-Griffiths (Under 14) as our only water competitor selected in the Sydney Northern Beaches (SNB) Branch team and this is where Callum laid the foundations for a stellar year for personal and team results. The SNB Branch Championships saw us travel to Dee Why where the Carnival kicked off with the Life Saver Relay. Well into the race, with a somewhat makeshift team, Queensie was well placed to qualify for the State Titles. However Huey wasn t on our side that day and we dropped back to fourth place and therefore missed the cut and didn t get the opportunity to race at State. The Branch Championships was also the stage for Arielle Bird to demonstrate that she has the skills that won her an Aussie Gold in the Tube Race several years back by winning the Over 24 years swim race and anchoring the Open Female Swim Teams to achieve Silver. The Branch Championships was also the platform to showcase the quality of our Under 14 competitors; competing in their first senior championship carnival as Under 15s they put other competitors on notice with numerous podium finishes. Queensie was well represented at the State Titles in the Under 15s and again they achieved some impressive results. The girls (Gemma Nicholas, Lara Jones, Isabella McDonald and Teneal Brown) picked up a Top 6 finish in the Surf Teams and the boys (Callum Lowe-Griffiths, Daniel Ferreira, Joel Aitken and Oliver Boyce) accomplished a Bronze. Callum also picked up a Bronze in his first Tube Race, even more impressive as they were all Under 14s competing up well done crew. Aussies we had five girls, Gemma Nicholas, Lara Jones, Teneal Brown, Frankie McGrath and Elly-anne Slennett who competed very well and progressed through several rounds in multiple events. The Under 14 boys didn t attend Aussies. In the ski arena, Damien Daley and Reece Holland both narrowly missed making the Open Ski Final and the Double Ski Final; it was close, so close it took 15 minutes of video analysis to determine who progressed through to the final round. We had a very small team this year but overall there were some very encouraging results. Our teams always did their best, raced fairly and represented Queensie in the best possible spirit. Well done, Team Q. TIM HAYES 11

16 MASTERS SWIM, BOARD & SKI REPORT Thank goodness the health issues of season are now a thing of the past. Kevin Harris, following his triple heart by-pass operation in late 2010, is back in the swing and enjoying his training and competing at the carnivals attended by the Masters water competitors: Peter Dean, following his heart attack and operation to insert several stents in February 2012, is paddling as well as ever, culminating in a great board paddle at the recent Aussies to achieve a Silver medal after losing a run up the beach for Gold: Ed Kwanten, the third member of the Queenscliff Heart Throbs (a term coined by our resident comedian, Ian Pooley Poole), following several medical procedures for Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is back doing what he does best: Danny YT White, following a successful hand operation and overcoming pneumonia, achieved some great results this season, which include a win in the Ironman at the State Masters: Mark Clare-Nazer who snapped his Achilles tendon at the 2012 Aussie Masters, is having a slower recovery but should be fully fit to compete next season. Special mention is made of Robyn Henderson. She had already proven herself in beach events winning individual sprint races, flags and beach relays at Worlds, Aussies, State and Branch Championships. Whilst she continues to compete on the beach, she also ventured over to the dark side (quoting her beach coach Paul Hammond) initially as a result of an injury that restricted her activities on the sand. Her performance in her first competitive water season was outstanding, winning Gold medals at State Masters and combining with Maree White to win the Double Ski at Aussies... and this after her first season on the ski and a couple of paddles with Maree. My hat is off to you, Robyn! Carnivals attended by the Queenscliff Masters water contingent included: The club achieved good results and finishing 3rd in the point score. Water results included wins to: 150 years Taplin Team of Daz Jones, Ian Poole and Dave Slen Slennett; and the years Double Ski team of Slen and Reece Bosward. Slen also picked up a Bronze in the Ski and a second with Reece and Grant Henderson in the 130 years Ski Relay. Robyn Henderson podiumed in the years female Ski (2nd) and the years Board (3rd). Palm Beach Twilight Masters 4 January 2013 A fine afternoon with temperature in the high 20s, strong nor-east winds and surf to 1 metre but very choppy, greeted the 34 teams in 2 divisions at the Palm Beach Twilight Carnival. Queenscliff entered 2 teams with the team of Ian Poole, Tim Hayes, Grant Henderson and Chris Maker finishing 2nd in Division A to a very strong Maroubra team, and the team of Peter Nankervis, his wife who filled in for some non attendees, Kev Harris and Ed Kwanten finished a sterling 4th in Division B. A sausage sizzle and a glass or two of cordial was enjoyed by all before returning home. East Coast Masters Collaroy 3 February 2013 Queenscliff with 14 Masters water competitors achieved some good performances, including winning the point score again at Collaroy on a sunny day with light winds and a solid surf around the 1.5 to 2m mark. Wins to Maree White in the Womens Ski; Peter Dean/Ian Poole/ Phil Bird in the 150 years Board Relay; Daz Jones/Neil Schafer/Kev Harris in the 170 years Taplin; Daz Jones/Phil Bird/Dave Slennett in the 150 years Taplin; and Daz Jones/Danny White/Neil Schafer in the 170 years Surf Team. World Masters Christies Beach South Australia October 2012 Only five Masters Board, Ski and Swim section crew ventured to Adelaide for the World Masters Ian Poole, Dave Slennett, Grant Henderson, Peter Nankervis and Reece Bosward (who joined us from Freshwater so he could attend the Worlds). It was very cold at Christies Beach with on-shore winds, cold water and a shore dump. Whilst the crew didn t achieve a podium finish, they competed in the true Queensie spirit. The guys made the finals in the following events: 130 years Ski Relay; 130 years Board Relay; years Board Rescue; years Board Rescue; and the 130 years Oceanman Relay. Pooley finished 8th in the final of the Board. There are tales about excessive alcohol consumption at one of the wineries...hotly denied by the crew but I have video evidence and I m negotiating with one of the TV stations for a special report! Freshwater Masters 24 November 2012 Ten Queenscliff Masters water competitors ventured to Freshwater on a fine day with light off-shore winds, 12 temperature in the mid 20s and surf of around 1 metre. Branch Championships Dee Why 9 February 2013 The day was fine and hot with temperature in the 30s and strong nor-east wind blowing with surf to 1 metre but very choppy and a significant amount of weed. 16 Queenscliff masters water competitors attended. Queenscliff again won the Branch Masters Point Score. Branch champions were : Danny White (65-69 years Surf, Board, Tube, and the 170 Surf Teams with Neil Schafer and Daz Jones); Neil Schafer (60-64 years Surf, Board, Tube, years Board Rescue with Phil Bird, and 2km run); Robyn Henderson (45-49 years female Surf and Tube; Col White (70+ Board and Tube). Competitors also achieved 8 Silver and 6 Bronze medals. The State at Umina 6 and 7 March 2013 The Masters State Championships were held at Umina on the Central Coast over two days. Both days were fine and hot with no wind, flat water which was brown from the storms and heavy rain in the days preceding the Championships. Some 17 Queenscliff Masters water competitors attended of which only 6 competed on day 1.

17 MASTERS SWIM, BOARD & SKI REPORT Podium finishes were: Gold Robyn Henderson and Maree White years female Board Rescue Danny White years Ironman Danny White and Ed Kwanten years Board Rescue Silver Maree White and Robyn Henderson years female Double Ski Danny White years Surf Neil Schafer years Rescue Tube and 1 km run Neil Schafer, Danny White and Daz Jones 170 years Surf Teams Bronze Neil Schafer years Board Peter Dean and Neil Schafer years Board Rescue Daz Jones and Tim Hayes years Board Rescue Maree White years female Ski Tim Hayes, Peter Dean and Ian Poole 150 years Board Relay Bronze medals were won by: Darrin Jones in the years Surf Col White in the 70+ Rescue Tube Danny White and Ed Kwanten years Board Rescue Other top 6 finishes were: 170 years Taplin (Danny White/Peter Dean/Dave Slennett) 4th (beaten by Maroubra for 3rd who used a runner for the board paddler...not in the spirit of the event!); Maree White 4th in the years Ski; Daz Jones 5th in years Rescue Tube; 170 years Board Relay (Daz Jones/Kev Harris/Ed Kwanten) 6th With sterling support from the beach contingent and the masters boaties the Club achieved a great 4th placing in the point score at Australian Masters championships, just 2 points behind 3rd placed Mooloolaba one of its best ever results. A great achievement! A convivial get-together, organised by Tim Hayes, of all sections of the Queenscliff Masters, was held at the Tweed Heads/Coolangatta Surf Club and a good night was had by all. Some entertaining speeches kept the crew amused. The Aussies Kirra 15 and 16 April 2013 The Aussie Masters were held at Kirra after being moved from Kurrawa following a review. 15 Queenscliff Masters water competitors made the trip. Day 1 (individual events) was cloudy, with little wind. The surf was biggish 2 metres+ and caused the officials to place the cans inside the break. In addition there was a massive sweep from south to north resulting in all events on day 1 being run anti-clockwise. The course was short probably no more than 300 metres and if the turning can was missed the sweep made it almost impossible to complete the course. Any mishaps at the start meant that there was little chance to rectify owing to the short distance of each event. The weather for Day 2 (team events) was sunny and hot with an early light offshore breeze which strengthened to a strong nor-easter later. The surf was around 1 metre, good conditions, and the sweep was all but gone. The course for Day 2 was the traditional one with paddles of some 600+ metres. Gold went to Maree White and Robyn Henderson in the 45 years + Double Ski after a great paddle...not bad for a team that has had about five training sessions together. A Silver medal was won by Peter Dean after a great paddle in the years Board race final, after just scraping in the semi-final. Other Snippets A number of the crew ventured to Balmoral at 6am on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays from December to early April for multi-discipline training (board/ski, swims, runs, exercises etc) under the guidance of Tim Never Stop Hayes. Each session was followed by coffee. A number of Masters water competitors also did squad training with younger members at the Aquatic Centre at Allambie Heights during winter. Board training continued on Saturday and Sunday mornings, again followed by coffee, as well as on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons under the coaching of Club Coach Chris Allum. The Masters Board, Ski and Swim section also provided water safety at a number of carnivals held at Queenscliff, as well as for a number of swim events including The Swim for Saxon. Well done to all Masters competitors keep training. See you next season. ED KWANTEN 13

18 Another busy season for the IRBs and the IRB team for I m pleased to announce that the season of was very successful. The IRB team thrived both during competition and in general. During the winter of 2012, our race team of more than 20 strong excelled at the NSW IRB Premiership, State and Australian titles. It was a rare occurrence for the team to not at least make semi-finals, with Jayson Elkins and Craig Mason regularly showing the over 35s how it s done. The female team is also substantially improving with Talia Mason, Maddie Perkins and Hannah Saville leading the charge. In the open male races, we had Ben Hale, Mitch Beattie and Rhys Phillips showing a lot of dedication, with almost all of the team completing their maximum limit of 8 races. This ensured race days were long and hectic, with the team showing commitment and dedication to bettering themselves as competitors, athletes and Life Savers: rain, hail or shine (mostly rain). IRB REPORT There s no off-season for IRBs and as usual the race team has been kept very busy this past year. During the summer, the IRB team provided water safety for many carnivals and events, even as many as 3 on one weekend and then we race hard during the winter. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the IRB race team for putting the hard yards in all year round. This goes to show that the IRB team are not only athletes when it comes to race season, but are always there when called upon for Water Safety. I would also to thank Craig Susans, the Committee and the Club for their support of the IRB section and the race team. As the team gets bigger and better, the Club has been very supportive in our efforts to expand, and we appreciate it immensely. I would also like to thank Barry Antella, Pat and Terry Boardman OAM for supporting and advising us at those often cold and miserable winter carnivals. My sincere congratulations to Talia Mason, most improved, Mitch Beattie, Junior IRB Competitor, IRB Competitor of the Year and Jayson Elkins, Senior IRB Competitor of the Year. The team also excelled at the Rescue 2012 World Championships in Adelaide. Making a number of quarters and semi with newcomer Dave Short and Rhys Phillips making the Open Male Rescue B final, placing them in the top 16 in the world. In addition, Jayson Elkins, Craig Mason, Shaun Stewart and I made the A final of the Open Male Teams Rescue, coming in at 7th in the World. This winter surpassed previous results on completion of the Premiership rounds, we finished 5th overall and at State Titles we maintained 5th placing. The last round of the series saw the team receive; four 1st places, three 2nd places and one 3rd place, we are looking good for our Aussie assault in July. Last but not least, I would like to thank Jayson Elkins and Craig Mason for supporting me in my first year as IRB Captain and showing me the ropes. Not only has Jayson helped me adjust to the role but also he has put in countless hours of work developing the team and the IRBs, so thanks old mate. See you next season ADAM SHEARSBY IRB CAPTAIN 14

19 What a year it has been for the Boat Section our first Aussie Gold for 14 years and a number of crews notching up carnival wins right across the season! Team QRU (Queenscliff Rowers Union) consisting of 7 highly competitive crews in Reserves, Colts and Masters Divisions. Achievements on and off the water Inaugural 7 Week Pre-Season Erg / Rowing Challenge Rebirth Winter/ Spring Team Training Sessions QRU Team success in Queenscliff Boat Carnival December 2012/Queenscliff Open Carnival March 2013 Boat Launch and Sponsors Evening a great success even when the weather had other ideas Gold medal wins at Aussies, World, State, Branch, Battle of the Boats Pac Palms, Manly, Freshie, and both Queensie Carnivals. 3 Reserve crews in the NSW State Final Colts Gold Medal at Aussies and State Finalist Sponsors Team QRU celebrated the launch of the new Alan Big Al Butler Northern Beaches Credit Union boat on 2 February 2013, and it was a pleasure to see how much it meant to Big Al. This was the NBCU 9th sponsored boat. What a tremendous supporter we have with the Northern Beaches Credit Union and special thanks go to Clulow, Thomas, John Watt and his team. Our Fleet of 4 NBCU boats are some of the best equipment going around in Surf Life Saving. With this level of commitment from NBCU, our results on the water are so much more achievable. In addition, many thanks go to Tim Ashelford at Baileys North Sydney who came on board late in the season, providing the resource for a new set of what turned out to be Gold Medal winning oars. Thanks to our Supporters, Officials and Unsung Heroes Over the course of a very long 8-month season many people lent a helping hand to keep such a great Club/boat section running, thank you to all those people that worked behind the scenes. Some special mentions go to Tommy The Gun Hand for all the tireless hours invested into the QRU boat shed, boats, oars, rowlocks. There isn t a thing out of place, well done. Scott Spradbrow for managing all of the entry forms. Peter Daley great work on again getting the oldest boat sold in record time. Also Alex Welsh, Adam Stanley, Chris Snel, Greg Herd and James Darmody have assisted in various roles within the QRU this season thank you all for your assistance. It s mighty hard to run a carnival without Officials. A special thanks to our resident Officials, Alan Butler, Peter Daley, Rodger Whiteman, George Prescott, Bob Newton and Greg Heard, when the gun goes up its great to know you re on or around the tower. Queensie Carnival Day BBQ chiefs Chippa and Willow, next year I ll have the chardonnay for you boys. There is life after the brekkie wrap let me assure you! Al Butler and Jimmy Young for your commitment and support of the QRU through bribery of free beer every time someone won a Gold medal in your named boats, the best incentive used in years. Hate to think of the tally! BOAT REPORT Lastly the support the QRU receives from the Club as a whole continues to be first class, many thanks must go to Craig Susans and the rest of the Committee for their continued strong support. THE BRAZZERS COLTS (U23) 2013 AUSSIE CHAMPS Crew: Alex Welsh (sweep), Lachlan Beatty, Sam Cornwell, James Molloy, Will Slattery Results:1st U23 Men s Australian Champions 1st Pacific Palms and Queenscliff Carnival 13 April 2nd World Titles (B Division) and Branch Champs, Dee Why 3rd Manly Carnival and Queenscliff Open Carnival (Open A Division) Coming off the back off a disappointing 5th place finish in the 2012 Aussie Final, the Brazzers were ready to bring the heat in season 2012/2013. With the massive loss of Harry Evans, the Brazzers were no longer able to intimidate anyone (who knew they could anyway?). At the Worlds the boys raced up a division in Reserves, winning all their races before placing second in the final to Phia. The boys had a month off over Christmas, with the Brazzers not hitting their stride until the Branch Championships, placing second to Collaroy. This was then followed with a win at the Battle of the Boats, making it back-to-back victories for the Brazzers at that carnival. The Brazzers then had to bounce back after a disappointing 4th place at State Champs, and they did, winning the Queenscliff Carnival in front of the home crowd. Aussies was upon us again and after dominating all our races in the heats on the Thursday, the Sunday finals proved to be very tough racing. Some very fast crews were knocked out, with the Brazzers sneaking through to the final after coming 4th in the minor semi and 3rd in the major semi. After drawing alley 2 (the same alley as the final one year earlier), we thought we were doomed again. This proved to be true, as off the start North Cronulla (our main competition) came across and clipped our oars. In the dying stages of the Final at Aussies with Alex Welsh screaming Do it for Queensie!, we managed to pull down a small runner which North Cottesloe got stuck behind. The rest was history as the Brazzers crossed the line in first place and brought home the Gold. The celebrations continued long into the night, and into the next week. With another year in Colts, the whole Brazzers crew is looking to defend their title in Perth next year. It meant a lot to us to bring home the Gold for the club after everyone had put so much support into us over the years. A massive thanks must go to Harry Evans, as we owe so much of our development (both on and off the water) to his guidance a year earlier. Finally, a lot of credit is due to Alex Welsh as the heart of the crew, watching his excitement as we won the Gold was worth every moment of pain, every minute on the erg and every sprint up the Queensie stairs. He devoted so much of his time and stuck with us even when times were most trying. He has earned the Aussie Gold and I know that this is just the first of many for the big fella now that he has felt the warmth after getting out of Dylan s shadow. 15

20 GRAVY-TRAIN COLTS (U23) Crew: Chris Snel (sweep),andrew Manna,Tom Coles, Alistair L Estrange, Sam Brennan, Mike O Neil Results: 3rd Queenscliff Open Carnival 13 April The five members of the Gravy-Train came into the crew at different times of the season, each coming in with different levels of skill, fitness and body hair. With two new surfboat rowers in our ranks, the season was never about the number of carnival wins (phew!!), but about having a decent crack. Despite a disrupted season and our rotating crew, we showed promise over the summer with some competitive racing our best result being a 3rd place at the Queenscliff Open Carnival. Overall, we had an enjoyable and entertaining season, with a Gravy-Train return looking to do it all again next season. REXONAS RESERVE GRADE Crew: Alex Welsh (sweep), Dylan Welsh, Andrew Newton, Scott Spradbrow and Rhys Williams Results:1st Queenscliff Open Carnival April nd Pacific Palms, Freshwater Carnival 3rd NSW Champs Reserve Grade Finalists at Branch and Semis at Australian Titles Notoriously late starters, the Rexonas surprised many in the boat section by heading into the season having started training and entering competition far earlier than in recent years. Long time Rexona Dave Newton decided it was time to hang up his Speedos and retire to Bondi to work on his tan. Forcing a mid-summer layoff until Dylan Welsh joined the crew after giving in to some persistent nagging by his brother Alex and we were back on the water in time for the Australia Day carnival. The extended mid-season lay off had taken a toll on our fitness and we struggled to keep pace with the top crews through carnivals early in the New Year. Sweep Alex Welsh enhanced his popularity with the rest of the crew by deciding to remedy this poor fitness with a regime of pre-dawn hill sprint and conditioning sessions, which started to pay dividends towards the end of the season. The season highlights for the Rexonas included making the finals at Branch, Battle of the Boats, State Champs and Rhys managing to be late to nearly every rowing session. After taking out the Queensie home carnival in April, the crew went to Aussies with high expectations. Having progressed steadily through the first two days of racing, we found ourselves leading the semi-final only to be beaten on the finishing line by the other crews coming through on a wave. BOAT REPORT Finally, the boat itself was never the same after Yarra hit Skippy on the way up the coast! THE COWBOYS RESERVE GRADE Crew: Tom Hand (sweep), Luke Moore, Nik Preiner, Rhys Carroll, Vaughan Hay Results: 1st Pacific Palms (7 wins from 7 races) Finalists at NSW Champs and Queenscliff Open Carnival 13 April Quarter Finalists at Australian Champs Incarnations of the Cowboys have been around since 2005 and this season s vintage proved to be one of the finest yet with Nik Prinier originally from Wollongong and the 4th favourite Sand Bag Luke Moore adding some much needed class. This season Tommy bought back the mythical electric sander to massage all the Cowboy s muscles from head to toe quite simply the results of the sander speak for themselves and Tommy is in discussions with the AIS about its benefits to elite athletes. A win at Pacific Palms showed that this seasons Cowboys were a force to be reckoned with, followed up by a Finals appearance at the NSW Champs and the Queensie Carnival they were unlucky not to progress to Sunday at Aussies. We held our heads up high knowing we had a great season and making us all hungrier next season! One thing we did win was Mad Monday. Things got so weird in the end I ve been sworn not to tell. MASTER ROWING SEASON TOP PADDOCKS MASTERS ( ) YEARS Crew: Pete Brannan (sweep), Alex Welsh (sweep/rower), James Darmody, Chris Snel, Andrew Needham, John Vickery and Adam Stanley Results: 1st NSW Masters Champions (140 years) and 4th Australian Masters Champs (120 years) MOULDY MUFFINS MASTERS (200 YEARS) AND GOURMET DINERS Crew: Alex Welsh (sweep), Pete Rogers, Chris Snel, Greg Heard and Ian Martin Results: 1st World Titles and NSW Masters Championships 2nd Australian Master Championships 3rd ASRL Champs, Pacific Palms and Branch Championships Full Crews Reports in the Master s Boat Report We would particularly like to thank Alex for giving up his time to steer us around for another season (usually in a straight line). T- REX RESERVE GRADE Crews: Matt Hamilton (sweep), Adrian Walding, Dan Wagers, Todd Walton, Frew Results: 1st Branch Dee Why, Manly Carnival, Freshwater Carnival and Queenscliff Carnival 12 December Finalists at NSW Champs, ASRL and Queenscliff Open Carnival 13 April The T-Rex had a highly successful season with a series of strong performances. Winning 4 carnivals and appearing in every final until registering our worst result of the year at Aussies. The crew had a post carnival debrief and decided on some key factors that derailed their Aussies campaign: Hammo secretly wanted to go to the Van Halen concert. Rocky was worried about peptide testing, Dan still looking for length. Todd was feeling too much pressure trying to get most improved rower 2 years running and Frewy was 16 worried about losing his jandals. Masters Rowing, the new frontier of broken down old blokes with dashed dreams of former glories. No longer able to sell to their wives and partners that this is the sport they row in heaven, we love it too much to just roll over and hang up the oar. The QRU fielded two exceptionally talented crews this season, well maybe one and the results speak for themselves MOULDY MUFFIN BOAT CREW 2013 REPORT 2013 saw a couple of changes from the crew who had competed for the Muffins in previous years. Due to work commitments Matt Rice stood down and Ian Martin moved from sweep to bow and Alex (Welsh) joined the crew. The consequences of these changes meant that the Muffins went up an age group and rowed against really really really old blokes instead of just really really old blokes. This year was one of those years where everything went to plan and some of the highlights include:

21 The Louis Roederer at D Arry s in the McLaren Vale. Fairhaven (Really really really old boys) shouting the Muffins numerous bottles of Verve Clicquot at The Barn Restaurant. The spatchcock poached in duck fat and the Mt Rosa Pinot Noir at Pac Palms (6th Course). Yes I do remember!! Heardie proving you can throw up and still row a surf boat. Chris Snel in season 2013 now Chris joined the crew a few years ago from Evans Head and the Muffins have worked hard to put a bit of polish on the boy. No longer does he drink white coffee but will order a latte with great aplomb. At Pac Palms he revealed his moisturizing schedule to ensure no dry skin on Chris and rumour has it he was seen wearing a cravat while dining in Oxford Street. Calling into the Universal Wine Bar in Adelaide for just one bottle of wine was never going to happen! Good call Pete Three bottles later The Pacific Oysters and Lemoncello at Pacific Palms. (Course 1) Heardie turning up to Pac Palms without his designated wine marks the 15th consecutive year that Ian and Greg have rowed together, the 16th year was in 1977 as the State Champion Under 18 crew. Last century! Somewhere in between the highlights the crew competed in the following events; World Titles Christies Beach 200 years 1st Place NSW Championships Umina Beach 200 Years 1st Place Australian Championships Kirra 200 years 2nd Place ASRL Championships Stockton Beach 200 Years Pacific Palms Open Masters Manly Warringah Branch 180 years 3rd Place 3rd Place 3rd Place On behalf of the Muffins I d like to take the opportunity to thank Alex for taking the time to sweep us this year. With 4 crews on the water (some of those crews actually train more than once a week!) we appreciate the commitment given to us in 2013! Ian Martin Catering Consultant and Official Muffin Liaison Officer with Boat Officials and Protest Co-ordinator TOP PADDOCKS How do you replace the irreplaceable? That was the question facing the Top Paddocks with the shock retirement (we hope temporarily) of the iconic Paul Raymond Birdman Burton. Weighed down with this heavy burden the Top Paddocks got off to what some have described as a slow start from a short run up. Kicking off the season with a journeyman like performance at the Manly Carnival, flying the flag for the Club in the Premier A Division followed by a delightful team breakfast. Next up the Freshwater Carnival loomed as Pete Brannan s first carnival with the big oar and he didn t disappoint the crowds putting in a stellar performance. A win at the State Masters in the 140 years and another appearance in the Queensie Carnival Mark 2 (breakie wrap anyone?) acted as lead up sessions for the Aussies Masters where a gutsy performances picked up a 4th in the 120 years. This season saw the Top Paddocks headcount grow, with Alex Welsh (the rower), Pete Brannan (the sweep), Chris Snel and the one and only Andrew Noddy Needham joining the ranks Welcome to the Herd gentlemen! Extensive planning sessions for season are scheduled weekly meeting to be held at the Hilton on Friday nights. Adam Stanley BOAT REPORT From the BC An outstanding performance for the Muffins in season, a painfully close trifecta just slipped through their fingers at Aussie but as Surf Boats go, this season was nothing short of a stellar performance. The TPs off season training program starts Monday so they say. Both crews are indebted to Alex Welsh and his sweeping and rowing prowess; not only did he succeed on the water Alex rowed an exceptionally commendable Ergo time in the 7 November week time trial time, further encouragement for training was not received well and he has since been banned from any further challenges in the future. I d like to say thanks to the QRU and the Club for putting up with the old blokes for one more season and we re looking forward to Perth and the George Bass Marathon next season. QRU TEAM AWARDS WARREN MOLLOY BOAT PERSON OF THE YEAR ALEX WELSH Mr Alex John Welsh, he swept the Muffins to World Gold, State Gold and Aussie Silver in Masters. Won a World Silver and Aussie Gold with the Brazzers, took the Rexonas to the brink of an Aussie final and carnival victories and then slotted into the Top Paddocks to claim State rowing Gold. Alex has hands down put in the individual performance of the year and is a worthy winner of the treasured Warren Molloy Boat Person of the Year. BOB MCGEACHIE BOAT CREW OF THE YEAR U23s COLTS BRAZZERS (Alex Welsh, Lachlan Beattie, Sam Cornwell, James Molloy, William Slattery) MOST IMPROVED TEAM OF THE YEAR COWBOYS BANG BANG RESERVES (Tom Hand, Luke Moore, Nik Preiner, Rhys Carroll, Vaughan Hay) BIG WAVE WAZZA AWARD THE BIGGEST WAVE CAUGHT AT QUEENSIE FOR THE SEASON Crew: Alex Welsh (sweep), James Darmody, Adam Stanley, Luke Moore, Rhys Williams During the ashes scattering of Norma Bayliss (Walsh) in March a mixed crew headed out in heavy seas to see off a former Club member and in the process picked up the wave of the season at Queensie. Of all places to bang the big one, nice work chaps, a lovely send off. A Final Word With the finish of the season, I d would like to thank the team as a whole for putting in outstanding performances this season. To all that helped with the organisation of the team and the running of events great work and I look forward to working with you next season to once again establish Queenscliff and the QRU as the forefront of the sport. Next season we have returning sweeps in Matt Press, newly blooded sweeps in Pete Brannan and up and coming sweeps in the mists which puts the Club and the Boat Section in good stead for continuing the success of this season. But for now, let s put our feet up, share a beer and bask in the Glory and stories of John Vickery 17

22 The one-liner of: The older we get, the better we were! doesn t necessarily apply to the stalwarts of Queensie s March Past Team. It doesn t allow for the dedication to and faith in the team displayed by our coaches, Ray Isaacs and Gary Cook, who have guided us through the past five seasons. When it comes to coaching, they re just the best of the best. And it doesn t allow for the determination of the team members whose average age borders on 70. The last recruits joined us five seasons ago. Just as Rodger Whiteman was hitting his straps as stand-in beltman, Piper returned to that position after having missed last season due to knee replacement surgery. So Rodger rejoined Grahame Job, Ian Saunders and Grant Spradbrow in the back line. George Prescott, Steve Beaumont and Mal Armour remained on the reel, with the fourth position initially taken by Tony Foster and later by Col White. Barry Miles and Mike Laurence were back as pivots, while team leader and March Past legend, Col Harrison, was retained as standard bearer, a position he has held since "Changa" Langlands last strapped on a footy boot. MARCH PAST REPORT Near the end of the season, our Coaches called for a greater commitment and an increase in weekly training sessions, and we were in good shape leading into the Australian Championships. But there was disquiet among the March Past fraternity when the organisers cancelled Friday s traditional Preliminary Final. However, in its place, the Kurrawa March Past Team arranged an informal training session at Kurrawa, involving judges and three marches. At the end of each march, the judges discussed with teams how points were lost. Tony Johnson came out of retirement to replace Sandy just for this event. Cards were tallied on the second and third marches. With 12 teams involved, we managed 5th and 3rd respectively and won the Encouragement Award. Sunday s Final at the Aussies was held at the surprisingly early time of 7.00 am. There were 23 open teams competing on a large North Kirra arena and we were given the privilege of leading the parade. With a full complement of three judges for each of the eight disciplines, the middle score was used to tally the total penalty points. John Burrell played the role of stand-in coach and reserve, while Neil Crummy filled in at training when we were short. And Jeannette Isaacs coaching contribution from time to time was most appreciated. For many years now, Barry Antella has generously made his bus available to us. This season, it allowed us to commute as a team for carnivals on the southern beaches and for the State Championships at Umina. We are sincerely grateful for his ongoing support. Special mention is reserved for Ian Sandy Saunders who had to manage a serious medical condition to be able to compete this season. Without his availability for the Aussies, the team may not have gone. We are indebted to him for his many years of loyal service to the team. This season, we competed at seven Sydney Club Carnivals. The highlight was a win at Wanda, and this rare success was a special moment for us. In addition, we came 3rd at our own carnival, Freshwater Masters and North Cronulla. Apart from the pleasing 4th from 9 starting teams at our Branch Championships, we came away with two medals by finishing 3rd in the Handicap Point Score (judged over a series of carnivals) and 2nd in the overall Championship. And our performance at State of 7th from 15 was reasonable, considering the strong field. When the initial tallies were done, we lost 10 penalty points, but our middle score was just 2. This placed us equal 5th with no less than six other teams. Judges then separated the teams with a method called a count back that resulted in us falling just one place to 6th. This was our best result in living memory, beating our 9th place of a few years ago. The excellent statistics maintained by Rodger Whiteman indicated that our points lost in the major disciplines of arm swing, wheeling, covering and body carriage this season were 50 per cent less than in the season. And there were pleasing reductions in leg action and spacing-and-dressing. From a total points lost perspective, there has been a gradual reduction from 174 in to 93 this season. Long may the trend continue into next season and beyond. STEVE BEAUMONT 18

23 Season was a two-stage affair for the runners with a peak in November 2012 for the World Championships at Glenelg SA and a peak in April 2013 for the Australian Championships at North Kirra QLD. Laura Shorter s competitive transfer to Helensburgh Stanwell Park SLSC left a big hole. Laura continues to be a member of Queenscliff and fulfils her patrol duties with us. With Michael Gedz still training her, Laura bounced back from injury with a gallant Silver medal in the Australian Titles, sadly not in Queenscliff colours. Michael Gedz continued as Beach Coach of the Sydney Northern Beaches Branch Team which won the Inter Branch competition. Juniors and Seniors Ross Collins again acted as Coach of the junior and senior beach runners (a small team of under 17, under 19 and open runners). Ross also guided Kate Perrett as she enthusiastically took charge of regular and several special Nipper training sessions before Branch and State Titles. Kate is great with the Nippers and we hope to see Kate and Ross back coaching our Juniors and Seniors next season. Senior squad members were Under 17: Ben White, Under 19: Alexa Collins and Ellen Goldsmith, Open: Jack Goldsmith and Simon Metcalfe. It was red and blue all over the beach at the Branch Titles at Dee Why. We had 35 on the beach in the U17, U19 and Opens plus 27 Masters with Ben and Ellen gaining silver and Jack making the final in the sprints. The boys were joined by Masters runner, Michael Gedz, in the Open Relay for fourth place. The boys from St Joseph s College were led by Harrison Armstrong with a win in the Under 19 flags and a credible fifth in the open flags and Matt Johnson, Edward Williams, Alex Pritchard and Sam Costigan were third in the Open Relay. Special thanks to Rob Daniel and Joeys Surf Sports Coach Cassandra Aitken for organising and transporting 30 enthusiastic Joeys boys to Dee Why to compete for Queenscliff. They did a great job representing our Club. Simon (2km beach run) and Ben (beach sprint) travelled up to Umina for the State Titles but both finished just outside the medals gaining fourth placing. In the Club Championships during the season, Jack Goldsmith won the Open Sprint in a very tight race from World and Australian Masters Champions, Michael Getz and Brian Dolly. These Masters runners, in their late 40s are still seriously quick across the sand and it was a great effort by Jack to cross the line ahead of them. Brian and Michael have been competing together since they were 16 and have won numerous World and Australian relays together. Now they are dominating their age group in sprint with Michael winning the World Title and Brian the Australian Title. Masters The Masters had another very successful season despite falling a little short of their own high standards. Shaun Sursok has been great again with his fitness routines and knowledge of physiology. When you are over 30 it s hard enough to peak once in a season and peaking twice needs a very careful fitness and injury management plan. In case you are not a beach sprinter, injury management is a very large part of the beach team program. There is no one competing at the highest level over 30 in beach sprints who does not have some injury. RUNNERS REPORT accidents, in contrast to Suzanne Brown who was her usual unstoppable self. Bob Wilson suffered an injury at Worlds but still finished with Silver in the flags and Bronze at Aussies. Andrew Fortis was an unlucky fourth in trying to defend his Australian title after suffering an injury at State. Robyn Henderson overcame a foot injury suffered at Worlds to win 2 Gold and a Silver at Aussies on the beach and then another Gold on the double ski with Maree White. Merrilee Linegar joined the club just before Christmas, gained her Bronze, won 2 Gold at State and then 2 Gold and a Bronze at Aussies for a spectacular start to her Life Saving career. Merilee wasn t the only new runner to join the team, Kelly McFadden did incredibly well in her first season, Jon Harwood is showing great improvement in the Men s along with Greg Gardner in the Men s and Shearsby in the Men s. Despite now being a farmer Tina Martin made the Australian Sprint Final for the first time and won Gold with the Women s 200+ relay her second year in a row with Helen Porter. Merilee Linegar and Robyn Henderson were also in that team. Sue McGinley and Shelly Hoy are beginning to realise their potential through consistent training and we expect great things next season. Michelle Sursok had a great year married, turned 30, trip to Machu Picchu and Silver in her first Aussies. Steve and Annabel Nelson were again the steady influences in the relays with both winning Gold in relays at Worlds and Steve won the sprint at Worlds and Annabel Bronze in the sprint. Steve Hoy won Silver at Worlds and a gallant 5th in the sprint final at Aussies. Business commitments meant Gero Farruggio could only make limited appearances this season, the highlight a gutsy Silver in the 2km at State. Ian Johnston was again Mr Reliable in the relays while Col White put in strong claims for Most Popular with the media. Unfortunately, Dr John Cooper and Jason Johansson were injured for the whole season. Dropped batons at Aussies cost us dearly in the relays but the pleasing result for the Coaches was the honesty and maturity of the individuals in acknowledging errors and the way the team bonded in our disappointment. The standard of competition continues to rise and the level at Glenelg and North Kirra was exceptional. Queenscliff has maintained its position as the most successful and professional of the Masters beach teams but there are a host of eager challengers snapping at our heels. Michael Gedz emphasised, by winning the NSW State Athletics 100 metres, that in most age groups we match or surpass the track athletes. PAUL HAMMOND Typical of this was Kylie Stewart who was injured winning 3 Gold at State and only just made it back for Aussies. Peta Saunders suffered a bad hamstring injury at Worlds. Mel Way kept the team on tender hooks with her penchant for 19

The first carnivals of the season were held back to back on the weekend of the 1st of December with the Boats Only carnival held on the Saturday and the Nipper Carnival on Sunday the 2nd. The Boats Only Carnival enjoyed great conditions with just enough swell to challenge the competitors. The Nippers day saw some pretty challenging conditions with a 1 metre choppy swell. Both events resulted in a great and safe time being had by all competitors with some great feedback being received from visiting clubs on the day. The events ran smoothly with no major incidents at either and on balance the carnivals were well attended by a large number of competitors. The Club continued with holding the season s event back to back on weekends, which significantly reduces the amount of behind the scenes organisation and effort required. As well as reducing costs, streamlining approvals and gear hire, it reduced duplication getting infrastructure, people and equipment in place. Despite the usual hiccups with the Branch ATV being a dud and there being never enough radios to go around, the coordination between Queenscliff and Sydney Northern Beaches Branch Surf Sports Team was very effective. The Queenscliff Open Carnival and The Swim for Saxon were held on 6th and 7th April with both days enjoying superb conditions. Running the Open Carnival late in the season and between the State and Aussie 20 Championships was seen to be a bit of a challenge in RUNNERS REPORT 1 Shearsby Sprint Australian Championships North Kirra, Queensland Total Gold = 7 Total Silver = 5 Total Bronze = 7 SPRINTS 3 Gold Brian Dolly 45-49M Merilee Linegar 50-54W Paul Hammond 65-69M 3 Silver Michelle Sursok 30-34W Michael Gedz 45-49M Robyn Henderson 45-49W 4 Bronze Bob Wilson 60-64M Shearsby 55-59M Kylie Stewart 40-44W Steve Nelson 50-54M RELAYS 1 Gold 200W Merrilee Linegar Tina Martin Helen Porter CARNIVALS REPORT Robyn Henderson 1 Silver 230M Paul Hammond Bob Wilson Ross Collins Shearsby getting the numbers there on the day. Whilst the numbers were down, the participating clubs came from afar to take the opportunity as a last hit out before the Aussies and all expressed their appreciation of Queensie in providing the event. Most appreciate that surf carnivals don t just happen and there are many things to be done before, during and after each event ranging from endless documents to be submitted, fees to be paid, programs to be designed, food and drinks to be purchased, areas to be set up and pulled down, etc. On behalf of many and as the Club s Events Coordinator I want to thank many, many people for their assistance and hard work in making the Season events successful. There are too many to single out but a big thank you to the many of new nipper parents and friends who lent a hand at both carnivals and a huge thank you to our many event sponsors Once again, the Club leads the way in putting competitor safety first and foremost, ensuring that it exceeded recommended water safety and risk management requirements to great success. Queenscliff's Water Safety Crew teams set the benchmark that few other clubs or carnivals matched; they were always there, on the spot ready to assist and keeping a watchful eye.

25 THE BALGOWLAH RSL SWIM FOR SAXON The 2013 Balgowlah RSL Swim for Saxon was run under blue skies and in calm seas at Queenscliff Beach on Sunday 7 April This year the swim attracted a record number of participants, with 454 swimmers donning the pink, orange, black, red, green and purple Swim for Saxon caps. This represents an increase of over 150 entries from last year. The increase in participants has been attributed to the switch to Sunday morning, as well as the introduction of an 800m swim, catering to younger and less experienced ocean swimmers. The swim was again well supported by a large number of sponsors ensuring place getters in all ages were rewarded with fantastic prizes, and Queenscliff SLSC was able to put on a great event. Thank you to our VIPs who attended the event, especially Tony Abbott and Mike Baird who participated in the 800m swim. The swim gained incredible coverage in the media, featuring in The Manly Daily, The Daily Telegraph, on ABC news, and on ABC Four Corners program. The feedback from a wide range of swimmers and onlookers was that it was one of the best run swims that they had attended, particularly the professionalism with which all facets were conducted, from presentations and public announcements, to marshalling and water safety.

26 The Sunday Surf Races were held during the season with record numbers of members attending each week. This year saw the introduction of the pink rash vests for safety and fashion reasons. All races were keenly contested resulting in 18 members completing 10 or more races. The surf conditions throughout the season were kind to us this year and an enjoyable time was had by all. There are a number of people to thank headed by Danny and Maree White for their expertise in setting challenging courses for both A and B Divisions when I was unable to attend. Special thanks to the Patrol Captains, Water Safety and IRB teams for their assistance each Sunday morning. Many thanks to the various recorders for their accurate name taking. Special thanks to Josh Ferrett who supplied 30 double passes to Hoyts cinemas during the Christmas holidays and the many other members who donated prizes.

CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS Unfortunately a difficult year for the Club Championships this year as they were held over 2 days due to big surf conditions on the first day. This caused the cancellation of water events after 5 events had been run. Due to the Event Calendar being so full after the school holidays the only day that was available for the resumption of events was after the Aussie titles. This had an adverse effect on the numbers, but there was still some fierce and humorous competition. In fact, Tim Hayes could still be out there waiting for the perfect wave that never came during the Open Board event! We need to get some more interest generated next year to increase the numbers, as the U15 and the 40+ age groups were the ones where the numbers were higher. So we will look at the timing and expect you all to turn up. There are some categories that don t have a champion this year in Male Female Male Female U15 1st Callum Lowe-Griffiths Teneal Brown 2nd Joel Aitken Ellyanne Slennett st Grant Henderson Robyn Henderson 2nd Dave Slennett Suzanne Brown U17 1st William Walton Not Contested U19 1st Hugh Walton Ellen Goldsmith Open 1st Hugh Walton Robyn Henderson 2nd Grant Henderson Ellyanne Slennett Not Contested Not Contested ANTELLA & LLOYD WINTER BIATHALON The Antella and Lloyd Winter Biathlon series was held over four races this winter commencing in May and concluding in August. We had a number of participants in each race and all enjoyed our time in the cooler conditions. The race usually consisted of a run/walk to North Steyne pipe and a swim back to Queenscliff when conditions permitted. On the days when the surf was unfavourable there was a walk/jog/run to the pipe and back followed by ten laps of the ocean pool. There were eight people who had competed in three or more races to be eligible for the overall and handicap prizes. They were Malcolm Armour (4) Arthur Kelleher (4) Jason Healey (4) Zoe Healey (4) Dave Walton (3) Hugh Walton (3) Declan Murray (3) William Walton (3) st Greg Heard Pam Walton 2nd Ross Collins N/A st Danny White Not Contested 2nd Bob Wilson 70+ 1st Col White Not Contested 2nd Tony Foster 2nd Terry Boardman OAM Overall 1st Hugh Walton (12.56) 2nd William Walton (13.66) 3rd Dave Walton (15.72) Handicap 1st Arthur Kelleher (20.47) 2nd Hugh Walton 3rd Declan Murray (16.24) A special mention to the IRB crews who assisted with laying the cans and water safety throughout the season and to Malcolm Armour who always ensured there was no one left behind him.

27 CHIEF INSTRUCTOR S REPORT My second season as Chief Instructor at Queenscliff started with an aim to develop new Trainers to extend our training capability by letting them run the SRC and Bronze courses guided by our Senior Trainer Assessors. Overall, this was very successful, resulting in Louise Hannan, Samantha Cleary, Jessica Middleton, Maddie Perkins and John O Toole training and managing multiple courses. There was a different approach taken with SRCs whereby Pam Walton, Tiffany Hutcheson and Alyson Mayer developed a program where a significant number of SRC candidates were trained and presented for their award. The majority of this work was done prior to Christmas, which when one considers there were more than 70 candidates, this was a huge effort. The other Trainers assisted when required the person who was of great assistance, particularly at the early stages of the SRC, was Col White, who helped and provided advice to the Trainers. Our group of Trainers provide not only training to Surf Life Saving but also to the local community. One of our first tasks was to give Warringah Golf Club CPR and DEFIB training after an incident at the course involving a club member. We were asked by our Past President, Piper OAM, to assist with some training which was carried out by Louise Hannan, Paul Taylor, Garry Fox and myself. Over two nights we provided education to some 40 club members many of these were in the older age group and were very appreciative of our efforts and they all acknowledged that they felt more comfortable if confronted with any future incidents. Further to that, one of our members who participated in a local walking club asked us to do the same for his club. John O Toole and myself instructed 20 members in CPR and DEFIB, and again they were older members and appreciative of the instruction. Bronze, ARTC and SRC Assessors Without the efforts of our Bronze and SRC Assessors we could not have achieved our awards. In addition to assessing at our Club and others, our Assessors also participated in Proficiencies. Thanks to Garry Fox, Paul Taylor, Barry Antella, Kerry Seipelt-Walker, Terry Boardman OAM, Des Tracey, and Colin Dagger and when needed, the following stepped in to assist Jim Ashton, Leo Zaccone and Paul Schott. Gavin May and Rodger Whiteman also attended assessments as Probationary Assessors. Congratulations to Rodger who has just been endorsed by the Branch as an Assessor. Special thanks to those who also provide assessment at ARTC. IRB Assessors Assessors Alicia Robledo, Barry Antella and Terry Boardman. These people do a tremendous job and spend a lot of time at other clubs so we can get our candidates assessed. Trainers Bronze Trainers thank you for all your efforts. These include Louise Hannan, Samantha Cleary, Jessica Middleton, Kerry Seipelt-Walker, Maddie Perkins, Garry Fox, Paul Taylor, Gavin May, John O Toole, Paul Hull and, as a new trainer, Matthew Gee. We are always well supported by parents for both Bronze and SRC training. With SRC training, we would like to thank the Bronze Trainers who helped and Alyson Mayer, Pam Walton and Tiffany Hutcheson. Thanks to Alicia Robledo, Brian Rignall, Jayson Elkins,Talia Mason and the rest of the IRB fraternity who trained IRB crew and drivers. As in previous years, St Joseph s College rocked up again and under the direction of their teachers, Cassandra Aitken and Barry Hughes, ably assisted by Rob Daniel (Club Captain) and Mitch Daniel, completed their Bronzes. In addition, I took a number of last year s Bronze holders and advanced their qualifications to include Spinal Management. This again is another community program which means that other people have access to critical Life Saving knowledge, which will assist them in school sports, e.g. rugby. As part of the Mentor Program, I visited the school a couple of times to make sure they were on the right track. Proficiencies are always a busy time of the year and thanks to everyone who helped. Special thanks to Assessors from other clubs that have helped us throughout the year. Also thanks to the Branch staff, especially Sandy Menzies and Belinda Dobson, for all their help. Thanks to the Club Committee for its support. DAVE TOREVELL CHIEF INSTRUCTOR Our core objective is Surf Life Saving training. Queenscliff established a Bronze Training Program which this season had 3 squads running on three nights per week with training on weekends. Our standard was high, which is a credit to all our Trainers. We were successful in getting more than 117 Bronze candidates through their course. In addition to this training, there was also ARTC and Spinal Management other clubs also participated in the Spinal Program. First Aid training was organised and completed at the Surf Club. A Beach Management coarse was also run, which again included Club and outside members. Another important aspect of Beach Patrol is IRBs. The IRB Trainers did a fabulous job in getting the IRB awards completed, that is, IRB driver and IRB crewperson. 23

30 DEDICATION OF POST WORLD WAR II SERVICE HONOUR BOARD On Sunday 28 April Club members and their families gathered to dedicate and unveil a new honour board recognising the service of 15 Club members who have served in campaigns since World War II. Warwick Young laid a wreath, Don Donkin MBE unveiled the board and Tim Hayes recited The Ode. CLUB SNIPPETS TERRY BOARDMAN OAM For services to Surf Life Saving and to the community, Club Life member, Terry Boardman, was awarded an Order of Australia Medal in the Australia Day Hounours list in Terry joined with sons and Paul in the 1970s followed by wife Pat and daughter Penny when women were welcomed as full members, Penny being in the second women s group ever to gain their Bronze. Terry quickly joined the Club Committee as Secretary where his efficiency and attention to detail were legendary. He was responsible for the Club gaining many Australian Institute of Management Awards for Annual Reporting. He did not limit his SLSA activities to the Club. He led resuscitation development and instruction at Branch and State level. Left to Right: Tim Hayes, Mal Shaw, Warwick Young, Don Donkin MBE, Sion Griffiths and John Wackett HAWKESBURY CANOE CLASSIC Queenscliff SLSC s own Damien Daley has set new records for the annual Hawkesbury Canoe Classic for the second year in a row. The Classic was held on 27 and 28 October 2012 with 539 paddlers registered to compete using more than 360 craft. The 111 kilometre race is run over the course of an evening and takes its toll on even the most seasoned paddler. This year Damien beat the record for his registered class, Ocean racing ski, by more than 25 minutes. The 1996 record for the fastest time by a single paddler also fell, with Damien shaving more than 1 minute off with a time of 8 hours, 27 minutes and 48 seconds. Huge effort and congratulations DD. Officiating at Carnivals he also reached Life Saver Referee at State and Australian level to name but a few of this Association achievements. Back at a Club level, Terry has and continues to instruct and examine candidates for Association Awards and has been one of the most consistent competitors in the Queensie Sunday Swims. Terry has also served in many volunteer positions including Railway Historical Societies, The Zig Zag Railway and Tram Museums and associated organisations. For all of the above and more, Terry was presented with his Order of Australia Medal by the Governor Maria Bashir in the presence of family Pat, and club member Piper OAM. Damien and fellow Queensie member, Scott Miles also smashed the 2 person record. Dave Brown also competed in this Canoe Classic for the first time Well done, Dave. The Classic fundraises for medical research with a new charity nominated each year. This year more than $200,000 was raised. OCEAN SKI SERIES The Fourth round of the National Ocean Ski Series was hosted by Queenscliff and was run at the conclusion of the Nipper Carnival. The race format was Le Mans like many start to a buoy 400 metres of the beach to Shelly Beach and then following the headland to Blue Fin Point. The participants then chased the swells finishing on the beach at Queenscliff. RELAY FOR LIFE In September 2012, a small band of Queensie Members walked the Manly Relay for Life and raised $1,320 for the Cancer Council. Queensie was the only Surf Club to participate. Some walked through the night and then backed up and helped at Nipper Registration without sleep. Tim Hayes decided that if the team raised more than $1000 he would walk continuously from 2100 hours to 0900 hours! The race attracted 125 skis and 30 Stand Up Paddle Boards. The winner of the ski section was Greg Tobin. Our thanks are extended D.D.3 Paddle Sports the major sponsor and all the minor sponsors who provided the prizes. Also the IRB team who provided Water Safety after the Nipper Carnival great work, IRB Team. 26 As a result of the success of the race we have been invited to run a race in the season.

CHRIS HARMSEN STILL SOWING WILD OATS Patrol 4 s Chris Harmsen had a rather busy Christmas period in 2012 as he pursued two of his sporting interests. He was one of just a few to report for duty at Queenscliff Beach for the last patrol on a very wet Christmas Day. But what s really impressive is that, as an integral part of the crew of the 100 feet long super maxi, Wild Oats XI since her launch, he was on board when she set sail in the Sydney-Hobart Yacht Race the following day. In the warm-up events, the big yacht broke race records in the Sydney Gold Coast and the Cabbage Tree Island races. Those results were not surprising given that she battled gale force winds in the 2005 Sydney Hobart to achieve the first of four line honours wins in a row, taking handicap honours and breaking the race record at the same time. But the 2012 Sydney Hobart was special because she managed to repeat the treble and even broke her own race record in setting a time of 1 day 18 hours 23 minutes and 12 seconds. Queensie s Matt Hayes crewed on-board Ragamuffin Loyal which came in second, although results were reversed when she (racing as Investec Loyal) beat Wild Oats XI to the line by just three minutes in Chris represents the elite of world yachtsmen. Apart from having competed in the America s Cup twice (on board Challenge XII in Newport 1983 and Kookaburra II in Freemantle 1987), he crewed when Kookaburra III won the 12 metres World Championships in Sweden in 1988 and when Sovereign won the maxi yachts World Championships in the USA in And in 1985, he competed in the Admiral s Cup on board Intrigue, a boat he helped build in a Huon Valley apple shed out of Tasmanian timbers. Chris Tasmanian heritage runs deep, with one of the many highlights for this yachtie who grew up in Hobart, being when he crewed on Tasmania when she won line honours in the th Sydney-Hobart. Back on Queenside beach, it s a real family affair. Chris s wife, Karen, is on Patrol 4 with him, daughter, Kate, is on Patrol 13 while son, Max, is an SC holder. SAXON BIRD MEMORIAL PLAQUE On Saturday, 3rd November 2012 a memorial plaque was unveiled by Phil, Dana and Arielle Bird on the Sydney Harbour Ferry, Queenscliff. The plaque was organised by Queensie club member and MP, Mike Baird in conjunction with Sydney Ferries after a recommendation by club member, Matt Hayes. Next time you are on the Queenscliff Ferry visit the plaque on the top deck and remember what a champion and inspiring sportsman Saxon was. RESCUE OF THE MONTH NOVEMBER 2012 Lifesavers Involved: Colin Dagger, Graham Lugsdin, Maddie Perkins, Talia Mason, Garth Hickey, Melissa Way, Adam Taylor, Helen Porter, James Hotten, Mark Chapman, Jason O Toole, Steve Beaumont, Maddie Hickey (SRC) On Sunday the 25th of November at approximately 1:30 pm, a 50 year old man and his daughter were walking along the rocks from Queenscliff to Freshwater beach when the father lost balance and fell off the pathway. He fell around four meters down on to rocks below and ended up wedged in a lower crevasse another two meters below. An off-duty lifesaver and his friends witnessed the incident and while one was sent to notify the Queenscliff patrol, the others supported his head and controlled the bleeding from the severe gash to his head. Six more lifesavers form Queenscliff SLSC and the Council Lifeguards quickly attended the scene. They treated the patient for a broken right arm, lacerations to his legs, torso and a possible spinal injury. During this time the Patrol Captain on duty coordinated communication to SurfCom who arranged the attendance of further support and emergency services. Lifesavers helped calm the distressed daughter and collected details to pass on to the Paramedics and Police who were quickly on scene. The patient was carefully moved by the Paramedics and lifesavers back to the ambulance and transported to hospital in a serious condition. The great team effort by all lifesavers involved on this day is a testament to their skills and dedication to saving lives. 31

36 BUILDING COMMITTEE REPORT This season has been a very big year for the Building Committee, the Club and the Community. Success has been achieved in four areas: 1. The Club room had a major make-over and is now the Ocean View room Following the relocation of the council lifeguards into new accommodation south of the Club pavilion, built by the Club and attached to the Craft Shed, the Club expanded the Members area. In this process new folding doors, tinted glass and flooring, a revised ceiling, lighting and audio visual layout and a revamped bar were completed. Craig Susan s shop fit out company, Shopworks, conducted the major works. The resultant space, known as the Ocean View room is now an exciting experience which really does celebrate Queenscliff SLSC s superb outlook. 2. Club Pavilion 2030 Master Plan Development Application was Approved The Building Committee has worked with members, the Executive and Manly Council to prepare the 2030 Master Plan for the club building. The planning was a new area for the Building Committee and they engaged Ken Woolley, the original design architect, who acknowledged his support for the final plans. A Development Application was lodged in December This received approval in February Now the Executive is planning the funding strategy to achieve the works which are estimated at $1.3M. 4. Peter Daley s famous grand photo mural comes home. After many years being displayed in the foyer of Mooloolaba SLSC, the grand photo of past President, Peter Daley steering a crew down the mine on a sizeable wave is now mounted in the Community Hall. It has assisted in reducing the reverberation and has been the source of many gaping mouths and disbelief. Congratulations should go to all those generous trades people who gave their time or only charged mates rates and the tireless Club members who have helped achieve these important building works and the essential planning milestone of the DA approval. In particular, Wayne McPhee, the architect who provided all the Master Planning options work without charge. Then he prepared the DA submission which received strong praise from Council staff for the comprehensiveness and clarity of his documents. ALAN BUTLER BUILDING COMMITTEE 3. Small internal adjustments of Club spaces to cater for equipment storage have been completed, including (i) creation of additional ski storage by rearranging the Club s male shower area; and (ii) improving the useable space for board storage where the old dog storage was located. 9TH ANNUAL GOLF DAY Once again the Club s 9th Annual Golf Day was held at Long Reef Golf Course, in perfect conditions, on Friday 23rd November. Nearest the Pin: Male Peter Capp Female Cathy Piper Longest Drive: Male Murray Fogarty Female May Harper 130 golfers hit off in what has become the Club s most successful fundraiser. AMP funded the day through Tony Borg and Steve Beaumont and their Navigate Financial Group. Hole Sponsors were: Navigate Financial Group NRMA Insurance Nuplex Rice Daubney Onyx Engineering Cunninghams Property Ready Fence SmartMove Mortgage Sparks Auto & Forest Car Care Shopworks NSYNC Constructions Of particular mention is the fact that at least half of the players and hole sponsors have been with us for over 4 years, some from the very beginning. Thanks to our Golf Committee Piper OAM, Grant Spradbrow, Greg Heard, John Thompson, Steve Beaumont, Eddie Sammut, Garry Farrar, Brown, Ed Riley, Ray Williams and Graham Job. Piper OAM We were generously supported by a number of companies and people and these are listed in the Annual Report under Donations Other Than Cash.

37 TREASURER S REPORT My first year as Treasurer is nearly over and what a steep learning curve it has been. However the support I have had has made the job manageable and more enjoyable. Firstly, many thanks to our outgoing Treasurer, Tina Martin, who in between travelling to her new country home every other weekend, selling her home in Sydney and winning Aussie Gold, was always willing to come and give me a hand when I needed it. Thanks to Jack Nash, Peter Daley and Piper OAM who work tirelessly around the Club, are an endless source of advice and experience to me and also do all the banking and money counting at events that I have not been able to get to due to my shift-working requirements. A special thanks to Peter whose great ability to sell our second-hand water craft kept the money coming in nearly as fast as I could spend it later in the year. The Club s financial position remains strong and I expect us to post a healthy surplus after the abnormal costs of the upstairs renovation and other improvements are taken into account. A good proportion of this is due to the commitment of our members to our major fundraisers during the year. The Golf Day, the Swim for Saxon and our Carnivals all raise sizeable income for the Club and are an integral part of our budget. Graham Lugsdin is always looking out for ways to increase the Clubs revenue and was successful, with Mike Baird s help, in securing a Community Building Grant, which will offset all our costs for the shower room/ski shed renovation. The clothing shop continues to thrive. I have enjoyed working with Jo Farruggio (ably assisted by Julie Slennett), and thank her for the considerable time given in running the shop and her attention to detail especially when it came to accounting practices. Wish her all the best with the coming birth of her and Gero s first child. As the Club grows so will turnover and this will demand of us to constantly improve our financial reporting and corporate governance. Thanks to all in the Club who have been very diligent in supplying adequate paperwork and receipts for reimbursement. Supplying invoices and receipts sounds anal at times however in the long run makes my job a lot easier and the Club s finances more transparent. The various sections are now submitting budgets, which will help the Executive and me plan future spending and how we can better allocate the Club s resources. Thanks again to our honorary auditor, Lisa Foster who each year donates her time to the required job of auditing our accounts. Unfortunately the financials for this year will be published as a supplement to the Annual Report as Lisa is on annual holidays just as our financial year finishes. GRANT HENDERSON TREASURER I have been overwhelmed by the time and energy a lot of our members put into the smooth running of the Club as well as the generosity of our sponsors in the community: Cunninghams Property, The Northern Beaches Credit Union, Manly Council, Navigate Financial Group, Balgowlah RSL, Hotel Steyne, RNC Global Projects, SLSNB and NSW as well as many others who have helped with donations in cash and in kind and contribute strongly to the overall financial health of the club. 33

39 NORTHERN BEACHES CREDIT UNION NBCU continues to support the Club in many and varied ways. MAJOR SPONSORS MANLY COUNCIL Our long and close working relationship continues with the Council and staff. NBCU s thirteenth boat was named and christened by Alan Butler in recognition of his service to the boat area and boat officialdom. In addition, the Credit Union has supported our Golf Day for ten years with a team and marketing prizes. We welcome new CEO Thomas as a committed supporter of the Club who is a local and, coincidentally, gained his Bronze Medallion with the Club in his teenage years. The Club has an excellent history with boat sponsors over our almost 90 years, which continues. CUNNINGHAMS PROPERTY Cunninghams Property continues to support the Club in cash and in kind. Our patrols are supported in the purchase of new Life Saving Equipment whilst support of our members is also provided for by the Cunninghams Property University Scholarships. John Cunningham and his team were the first hole sponsor for the Golf Day and provided support on the day with tents, signage and our auctioneer, Andrew Lutz. The whole Cunninghams Property Team help us to run The Swim for Saxon day, including the manning of the BBQ facilities and trophy donations. MOSMAN LOCKSMITHS Mosman Locksmiths provides a wonderful in-kind service to the Club by providing all our key and locking security requirements across a matrix of access levels and locations throughout the various Club buildings and rooms. Many thanks to Steve and Beth Worrall and their staff for this important service. A very valuable and continuing sponsorship. Mayor, Jean Hay AM, and her Council Surf Club Liaison Committee are particularly supportive of the Club, especially in our recent building endeavours. We work closely with Mark McDougall and his Lifeguards and particularly thank Beth Laughton and Ray Cook for their assistance. BALGOWLAH RSL CLUB Once again Balgowlah RSL Club provided huge support to our club and is one or our longest supporters. Through the Community Club Grants program, the Club was able to cater for the purchase of Nipper Boards, Nipper Presentation Prizes and our important Swimming Scholarships for our Nippers, Cadets and Under 19s. In addition, we were beneficiaries of the Club s Thursday Night Meat Raffles on a quarterly basis and thank them also for their support in The Swim for Saxon and our Annual Carnival. Queenscliff continues to use the licensed Balgowlah RSL Club for its major activities including our Presentation Night. Thanks again to John Langford, President, his Committee and CEO, Hendrik Visser. NAVIGATE FINANCIAL GROUP/AMP FOUNDATION Club members Steve Beaumont and Tony Borg, through Navigate Financial Group and the AMP Foundation, continue with their 10th year of support of Life Saving and the Annual Golf Day in November. 35

He was a solicitor by profession and the club's Honorary Legal Advisor for twenty plus years. Vale John Chapman, an absolute gentleman R.I.P. JOE JORDAN Our oldest member Joe Jordan died aged 103 during the season. Joe gained his Bronze Medallion in season aged 23 years and went on to do many years of service to the Queenscliff Club including as a committee member and Treasurer, and to his country, in World War II in the Australian Air Force. Although of slight build he told of performing a rescue of a lady, bringing her to shore and she just disappeared into the crowd without thanking him. Joe was proud to come to the beach in his latter years and proud to be a member of our Club. The Club was proud to spread his ashes on the June Long Weekend with family present. R.I.P. RACHELLE YEO Rachelle rowed in the , Seasons with Queenscliff, in our Open Women s crew. In both seasons the crew was most competitive reaching many finals in local carnivals. The crew in these years were the start of what was to be very competitive female crews at Queenscliff. Rachelle was a great team participant and had a vivacious personality. She had the ability to lift the crew (and sweep) if things were a little flat. Although she did not compete in recent years, she always followed Queensie s results. She will be sadly missed by all with whom she came in contact. R.I.P. BARRY TAYLOR Barry joined the club in the 1980s with his children Jenny and Stephen. Already a Life Member of the Manly Club with many swimming and R+R victories to his name, Barry got involved in the craft area assuming the mantle of Board and Ski Captain. He was already an experienced Coach in Surf Life Saving and rugby, he harnessed the Club s very good swimmers to form an R+R Team. Results followed as they always did with Barry winning the Club s first R+R title with the six-man event at the Australian Titles at Wanda in 1981 and again at Clifton Beach Tasmania in Also in 1983, Barry formed a winning sub district Rugby Union Team in Club colours going on to win the Meldrum Cup in the Grand Final against our neighbours, North Steyne. R.I.P DARCY CARTER OAM EM Darcy gained his Bronze medallion in Season and did patrols during the difficult World War II years and beyond as he fondly recalled his active days in the Club in later years. In the C.M.F he was awarded an efficiency medal E.M. and then was one of the first to be awarded an Order of Australia Medal OAM in new Australian awards for his services to the banking industry.
