ROSS PERKINS

WE EXTEND OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO THE FAMILIES AND FRIENDS WHO HAVE LOST LOVED ONES THROUGHOUT THE PAST SEASON. OUR ETERNAL THANKS FOR THE TIME, SUPPORT AND YEARS OF SERVICE THEY HAVE GIVEN OUR CLUB.

6TH JANUARY 1963 - 18TH APRIL 2020The saying ‘only the good die young’ rings true. Ross Perkins died after a short illness with cancer, surrounded by family and friends.

He grew up in Whale Beach, before moving to Newport in 1990 where he and wife Catherine began their lives together. This home would become the place where their sons Samuel and Thomas would grow up. Ross never took his surroundings for granted and was in the water most days throughout summer. With a passion for Mokes and the outdoors, family adventures often involved friends, of which Ross had many.

Ross was one of the quiet achievers at the club. As well as being age manager for Sam’s and Tom’s Nipper groups for many years, he supported his wife Catherine achieve the Bronze Medallion and their sons gaining awards and doing patrols.

His outlook on life was always positive, in his primary school teacher’s words “Ross thinks life is a bed of roses”. This summed up his refreshing attitude.

Ross, in his role of locksmith, was instrumental in the implementation of the electronic key system at the club, volunteering a lot of time to get it up and running and continuing maintenance.

During one of his summer swims I enlisted his help on my patrol with a surprise rescue to test the patrol’s response and skills. He swam out and waved his arm, everyone responded well but we both found it difficult to keep a straight face through the process. He had a cheeky giggle that was truly unique and will be remembered with a smile.

Brett Budd

PRESIDENTThis season Newport SLSC celebrated its 110th patrolling the beach and serving the community. In the delivery of this service for another year, we can proudly say we maintained the position of - no lives lost. However, it has been and continues to be a tough year for many.

In a season that includes floods, extreme surf, bush fires, extended power outages and has culminated in this latest pandemic, I would like to acknowledge that many of our members will be going through a tough time brought on by the extraordinary events of this year. While we are not able to offer the full facilities of the clubhouse, Newport SLSC stands ready to support our community, and our members have demonstrated this through the season.

Our committee was made up of many great individuals, some new to the role, others with decades of experience, a combination that brought new ideas and wisdom to the team. We set ourselves the tasks of maintaining what makes us a great club while at the same time seeking new ways to add value and relevance to our local and extended communities. Even though our season was cut short, looking back, we still managed to achieve a lot. Our theme for this season was “Better Together”, with a focus on Family, Patrol and Teams.

As ever we ensured that first and foremost, we maintain a high level of safety on the beach, our membership remains strong with our Patrols, Age Managers, Trainers and Competition teams leading the way.

We maintained our high standards of lifesaving with Newport providing over 8,500 hours of vigilance on the beach, a fantastic feat considering that our patrol season was unfortunately cut short by about five weeks. Despite the early end to the season, our patrols still managed to effectively patrol Newport Beach with our rescues for the season decreasing by greater than 50% from last season with a total of 13 rescues for the season. Another fantastic effort by our team showing that we are preventing the public from getting into trouble before they required rescuing. I’m also proud of the fact that our patrols work with all

stakeholders on the beach to ensure they have a safe and enjoyable experience.

During the season we also supported other clubs to help fulfil their patrol commitments in a time when volunteerism is not as widespread as it once was due to the demands of work and life.

I also want to acknowledge our members who performed First Aid and CPR off the beach, from shopping centres to wharves to golf courses, even schools, several of our members have used their skills to assist the general public as well as save lives.

Special thanks to our Club Captain Jessica Menzies and Vice-Captain Lauren Budd who together with their Patrol Captains and Vice Captains ensure Newport Beach remains a safe and enjoyable beach to bring the family.

This year we trained many candidates for their Bronze Medallion (28), Surf Rescue certificate (24) and several other awards. This training was only made possible through the dedication of our Chief Instructor Guyren Smith and the many trainers, assessors and facilitators we have at the club and across our great Branch. Both Bronze and SRC courses were run under the pilot program using the materials that are to be introduced next season. We were one of two SNB clubs and 28 nationwide to participate in the pilot program. Our September short course was also the first course to be assessed under the pilot. The pilot course saw us testing out and providing feedback on the new course structure and resources. Thanks to State, Branch and Mona Vale (the other SNB club involved) for working with us on this and we look forward to the full introduction of the new course structure.

PRESIDENT CONTINUEDThis year we continued the “Bronze Patrol”

where all the new bronze did their first patrol with the trainers. This initiative was hailed as a great success, while a simple idea, the benefit came in providing our new bronzes with the confidence and experience to integrate into their new patrols quickly.

In collaboration with Soldier On – a support organisation for returning veterans, we hosted a bronze familiarisation night at the Surf Club. We ultimately invited five veterans or current active members of the Australian Defence Force to complete their Bronze Medallion training covering beach patrols, to rescue services and safety education. It proved an excellent experience for veterans and the regular bronze group who each enjoyed the benefits of the experience in training for this award.

We ran our first Mental Health First Aid course, where we invited leaders from other community clubs. These included the Newport senior and junior rugby club, Newport Netball, Mum’s for Mums, Newport Board Riders as well as general members of the communities. This initiative was proudly supported by Brookvale Rotary and Strokes that Matter, a fundraising initiative driven through the Newport Kinghorn Surf Racing Academy.

In addition to our Bronze and SRC awards, we also trained 10 new IRB crew and 22 ARTC and 23 First Aid. Ensuring we maintain a high standard of service across our patrols. We continued to offer CPR awareness training sessions to the community including local sporting and community groups, ensuring that should there be an issue in the area, there are more people aware of the necessary steps in assisting.

Newport’s own Nick Carroll teamed up with State to put together his Surfer Safety Series which provides surfers with a go-to resource to learn how to be safer in the water, including how to rescue someone and CPR awareness.

Our club’s Nipper Committee once again had a successful year waterproofing over 380 of our local kids, including our special needs program. Our Nipper committee was led by Chairperson Rebecca Capell, who brought with her a passion

for education, safety and fun as well as a real focus on driving our family club. Both Rebecca and Brendan Capell lead from the front and provide excellent examples of how a family can embrace all that surf lifesaving has to offer and reap the rewards ten times over.

A big highlight for our cadets was the annual Nipper Camp at the basin. Rebecca remarks on the importance of the camp as “it shows our cadets the depth of teachings the Surf Club community provides”. Aside from surf lifesaving training, the cadets engage in group discussion such as a mindfulness workshop presented by Western Sydney University. These workshops are important to provide “children tools to cope with challenges that they may face as they enter into adulthood” adds Bec.

This year as an initiative driven from the Nippers themselves, Newport launched a plastic-free beach. We asked all our parents and vendors who visit the beach not to sell or bring plastic water bottles to the beach. In support of this we encouraged members to use the drink fountains from the park and while hosting our carnivals provided extra water fountains through the council.

Our Dolphins and Marlins enjoyed Ian Crutch (Crutchy) first year at the helm. Crutchy gave out more awards than the Oscars and why not, in the man’s own words, “This is one of the most rewarding things I have done with surf lifesaving”. Coming from someone like Crutchy who has done about everything there is to do in the movement, that means something!

Our Newport competition team continues to celebrate success in competition while building a strong club bond. While we could not complete the full program for the season where we did compete, the team excelled. We were very fortunate to compete at the state titles where our opens team won their seventh title in a row. This record-breaking victory and record-breaking points score was a whole of club effort with every area of our competition program contributing points including our Boats, Beach, First Aid, Patrol Competition, Champion Lifesaver, Surf Belts and Water Teams. We had some incredible individual results, including winning the Open Female & Male, U19

Flags with Crutchy

Female, and U15 Female and Male Iron person events. Our best performer was Emily Doyle who secured 18 medals, 11 of them gold, a great achievement on International Women’s Day. While we seek to nurture our individuals, our motto has always been “team before the individual”, and this shone through with 60% of our total points coming from team events. We capped this off on Sunday winning both premier team events the Female Open 3 person Taplin relay and the Male Open 6 person Taplin relay.

The NSW SLS Awards of Excellence included several Newport SLSC members as finalists, well done to our winners:

» Thunder Under 23 Female Boat Crew, Abby Ballesty, Tara Doyle, Claudia Harris, Meagan Barr, Michael King – Surf Sports Team of the Year

» Jackson Borg – Athlete of the Year » Kieran Menzies – Facilitator of the Year » Kieran Menzies and Peter Finch (RWC

Training Team, SNB) – Services Team of the Year

The very best from around Australia were lined up for the last round in the 2019/20 Nutrigrain

Iron Series at North Cronulla on Sunday, January 19. In a last-minute change, Zac Morris and Emily Doyle were called up to race only a few days before the competition which meant we had 6 Newport athletes competing. They joined Lizzie Welborn, Max Brooks, Jackson Borg and Charlie Brooks at the Survival Round. With Finn Askew competing in the first round of the Series, Newport had seven athletes in the series, an excellent achievement for an NSW club.

Our Athletes were also fortunate to represent our Branch, State and Country. We had 15 in the interbranch squad and 10 in the interstate team with both teams victorious. Our Thunder and Shellfish boat teams also represented Sydney Northern Beaches in the Surfboat Interbranch Championships. Both crews contributed to SNB winning – the U23 Women also winning their division.

Newport SLSC members Max Brooks, Blake Drysdale, Lizzie Welborn and Zac Morris, joined the Australian Lifesaving Team for three days of competition at North Beach in Durban, South Africa. Our very own Emily Doyle joined the Royal Life Saving Society (RLSSA) Team to represent Australia at the Commonwealth Festival of Lifesaving in Leeds, UK.

Kristie Edwards competed at the IAAF World Championships in Qatar. Kristie started as a Newport Nipper in the Under 6s and is a current patrolling member.

Our members participated in many fundraising events this season, including our Pool to Peak Ocean Swims, the Pub 2 Pub finish line festival and our Knackers social swim members fundraised for Children’s Cancer Research. We also hosted the Junior and Senior interbranch selection carnival as well as the first branch boat carnival of the season. All these events would not be possible without the extraordinary support of our members.

To our Support Operations Members, I also thank you for going above and beyond your commitment to Newport Surf Life Saving Club and assisting with the Branch Support Services including; Surfcom Operators, Jet Ski Operators, Duty Officers and the After Hours Call Out Team. These guys spend an amazing amount of

time not only keeping Newport safe but most of the Northern Beaches. This season was notably different for these team members as while Newport Surf Life Saving Club was not patrolling the members of the Support Operations Team was continuing to patrol on the Jet Skis and attend call outs and incidents when required up and down the Branch.

Additionally, at the Sydney Northern Beaches Branch Awards presentation evening, Newport SLSC had many finalists and won several awards including:

» Surf Sports Recorder of the Year - Gavin Simmonds

» Harry Regan Outstanding Service Award - Peter Finch

» Support Service Award - Peter Probert » Patrol of the Year - Newport’s Trainers for

Late Bert King OAM, Late Peter Liddle and Gary Cook.

We were saddened by the loss of a great member of the club Ross Perkins. Cath and Ross, together with their two boys, have always been great supporters of the club from being age managers, patrolling and even through their business, supporting Newport wherever they could. Ross was generous with his time and knowledge, and he will be sadly missed.

In addition to our Executive, Management and Junior Activities Committee Newport SLSC relies on several other volunteer committee members to ensure we continue to operate successfully. On behalf of the entire membership, thank you to those that served the club so selflessly on the following committees, your contribution is greatly valued:

» Building Committee » Sponsorship Committee » Club’s Board of Surf Sports » Life Members and Honours Committee » Ocean Swim Committee

Special thanks to Michael King, who compiled the 110th anniversary commemorative book, “Our Second Century 2009-2019”. Michael and his team have been able to capture how quickly the club has evolved over the last ten years. In some areas, the evolution has been quite dramatic, almost revolutionary. In others it’s been so subtle we might never have noticed without an accounting. All of it has been meaningful, and through Michael’s effort will never be forgotten.

Special thanks to the SNB Branch Executive for their hard work, to Doug Menzies for all his

years of service. We also thank Tracey Hare-Boyd for stepping in and stepping up to provide the continuity of leadership and advocacy for the SNB Branch. We look forward to working with Tracey and the new executive over the coming seasons.

Thanks to Michael Regan, Ray Brownlee and all the councillors from the Northern Beaches Council for their support and helping tidy up the club for our 110th celebrations

Thank you to our sponsors; without them, we could never support the community to the extent we do.

Thank you to all our members, whether you are a parent-helper, age manager, coach, official, trainer or patrol captain, you can take pride in being part of the Newport village that helps our youth on their journey to adulthood. Your efforts allow our club to save lives, waterproofing our kids and serve our community in many ways.

To the Newport Kinghorn Surf Racing Academy Board again congratulations and thank you for a great year where you have again lived up to your mantra, be the best and enjoy it the most. While we didn’t get to race at Aussies, our performance at the State Championships indicated how well we would have done. A special thank you to Jill and John Kinghorn for continuing to believe in and invest in the academy and our club members; we sincerely appreciate your generosity.

Finally, big thank you for our committee and subcommittees for supporting me in my first season as President.

110TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONSWith the pending 110th Year of the NSLSC a small team was “volunteered” to plan the celebration with the charter that it be:

» Inclusive of all sections of the Club » Had a WOW factor! » A 110th NSLSC Book have a supplement

covering the last 10 years.The Team comprising of Jack Holland,

Ali Holland, Rob Barkley, Gary Cook, Doug Menzies, Jan Proudfoot, Ian Storey, and Michael King commenced exploring various ideas and options in September 2018.

Michael King graciously accepted the task of the 110th Book Supplement with Gary Cook in support.

Finally, the Team settled on a 110th Birthday Party with a “Dress to Impress” theme with the evening featuring:

» An impressive lighting display on the sand » The Lachie Hamilton Jazz Trio » The hall decorated with subdued lighting with

candles

» Marquees covering our deck » “Grazing Tables” and canape catering » A 110th Birthday Cake

The celebration took place on 19 October 2019 with 140 members and their partners being joined by George Shales OAM, President of SLSNSW, local dignitaries, and politicians. Iain Taylor, MC, ensured that the formal part of the proceedings stayed on track by keeping it short, and launched the sale of the 110th supplement, “Our Second Century”.

The 110th cake was finished off the next morning by our Nippers.

It is appropriate to acknowledge the efforts of the team, particularly Michael King for the Supplement, Ali Holland and Jan Proudfoot for the hall/catering etc. Sydney DPS Printing contributed to the editing and professional finish of the supplement. Molly’s Cradle generously donated the wine for the evening.

HONORARY SECRETARYAs we all know, 2020 has been unique for the whole world. In our little surf club, the disruption was significant but could have been far worse if it were not for two companies: global giant Microsoft and local Warriewood company BizStudio.

Why Microsoft? In case you are not aware, Microsoft makes the benefits of their cloud technology accessible for non-profits. They offer discounted and donated industry-leading solutions for charities like ours. Thanks to them, we have been using Microsoft Office 365 for six years. This cloud software has reduced our risk of losing important files and makes committee collaboration on monthly reports, minutes, policies and procedures, club history, annual reports, AGMs, etc., much more straightforward. The Honorary Secretary also has less email to deal with than before! Then in late March 2020, when the NSW Government introduced new social distancing rules, we were able to make use of the Teams app immediately. At the risk of sounding like I work for the Microsoft Marketing Department, Teams is a hub for organisations that enables much easier access to files, applications, and websites. Teams also has instant messaging and virtual conferencing. So instead of meeting in the clubhouse at 7:30 pm on the second Wednesday of every month, we were able to sit in our warm homes and tune in (some of us with a glass of wine)! We found out that working from home has many benefits for the volunteer world as well as the paid world.

Why BizStudio? For obvious COVID-19 reasons, our return to the Glen Street Theatre for the Annual Awards had to be abandoned. However, thanks to BizStudio, we were able to quickly come up with a new plan to live stream on 22 May. The “Bernies” were viewed by over 1,400 people via our Facebook page or website. Our event hosts, President Glen Borg and Nipper Chairman Bec Capell, looked like seasoned professionals in front of the camera. Our 2019 major award winners added interest to the night by prerecording an introduction to each award. Thank you, Emma Carroll, Sam Capell, Hamish Michie, Rudi Valla, Jeremy Paul, Mitch Morris, Emily Doyle, Chloe Van Dam and Nick Carroll

for your significant starring roles! The feedback on the virtual awards has been extremely positive. I wish to thank all the members who contributed so much to the event. Your words, images, videos, SurfGuard reports and bright ideas made for another successful and distinct Annual Awards event. Thank you for watching, and I hope to see you more often in person soon.

Thank you to every member of the Management Committee who submitted monthly reports, attended meetings, and provided words and images for this report. I would like to particularly thank Tanya Chamberland, Publicity Officer and Meagan Barr, Social Secretary. Both Tanya and Meagan have done a terrific job in their first season on the committee, and I hope they will be back for an even better 2020-2021.

I also need to give special thanks to Chris Borg and Marvin Smith who provided so many images this year. You guys made the end of season review video and the compilation of this report a more enjoyable and easier process.

Finally, thank you to Bev Barnes, who helped me so many times throughout the season and with the preparation of this annual report.

HONORARY TREASURERThe club has posted a small operating profit of $814.00 for the year whilst managing its financial affairs in a responsible manner. Our revenue and profitability were on track to provide a creditable result for the season 2019-20 if not for the pandemic COVID-19.

I would like to thank and make special mention of Bev Barnes, our office administrator, on reaching her wonderful milestone of over 10 years employment service. Bev is a pleasure to work with, always helpful and cheerful. Bev always displays a professional commitment to her daily activities and amazing loyalty.

I would like to thank Michael Coates for his assistance and expertise in preparing the end year accounts in his spare time.

COVID-19 had a significant effect on the club’s earnings suffering a 75% decrease in its revenue for the same six-week trading period of the previous year. The club took a responsible position to suspend hall hire, bar operations and

postpone nonessential spending whilst monitoring weekly outgoings until further notice. The club has taken advantage of the various financial programs available through various government support packages. We applied for “Job Keeper” to support wages, received a one off cash boost of $10,000.00 from the federal government and deferred BAS payment. We have also applied for a $10,000.00 grant from the NSW state government.

Whilst COVID-19 has reduced our immediate source of income through our bar activities we are fortunate to have a strong balance sheet and cash position to service our debts as they fall due and payable.

We expect our bar and function sales will continue to anchor our revenue stream for 2020/21 placing less burden on the contributions of members. Moving forward subject to COVID-19 resolution we will review avenues to commence bar operations and recommence hall hire to ensure we remain cash positive and profitable.

2020 saw some key financial metrics.Revenue 0.5 % decrease on 2019 season Expenses 1.7 % increase on 2019 seasonGross Surplus $814.00

The chart above, as in other recent years, provides a good comparison of the club’s revenue stream and the continued success of bar activities minus our busiest trading period due to COVID-19

As in recent years the committee continues to pass on revenue raised to the ongoing operation of the club including the funding of new equipment and a range of repair works. The club’s expenditure was slightly up due to the Long Service Leave provision on last year but in line with less income. Most expenditure was directed to improvements to member facilities and safety equipment. Some key equipment purchased included IRB fuel cells, spinal board, upgrading first aid equipment as well as tables and chairs for the deck area of the bar.

In the early months of this financial year the committee made the decision to upgrade our accounting software system from MYOB to a cloud-based accounting package called Xero. The Xero product is user friendly and intuitive to use, has a great online sharing capability and provides a variety of reports in an efficient manner.

At the same time around September 2019 we also took over the direct payroll function of administration and bar staff wages from SLS Sydney Northern Beaches.

The changeover of an accounting software can be a difficult task. We extend our sincere gratitude to Michael Coates and “Accounting Evolution” for their assistance in migrating the MYOB files into Xero. We also thank Jen Huston from the SNB office for her assistance in the initial set up of our single touch payroll system.

Our function revenue suffered a decrease due to the temporary closure of forward bookings whilst the committee investigated potential options to increase the bar operational hours. The committee deferred the decision to maintain the status quo and review further options at some time in the future.

On a bright note subscription of our general membership was steady. A fantastic result for our

registrar Eric Crooke as our membership numbers stabilised.

Thanks to Carla Pettitt for operating our clothing store which performed well. She purchased new lines of stock whilst keeping costs down and providing a service to all members, keeping them looking good in Newport apparel.

The Pool to Peak swim again lived up to its reputation of being one of the club’s most successful fund raisers making over $20,000.00 of necessary funds to support our life saving activities. Well done to John Guthrie and his dedicated committee.

We again supported the Pub2Pub (now known as Beach to Beach) fun run with the race finishing at our club. The club was presented a healthy donation from Rotary for our assistance on the day. Thanks to Cliff Burk for organising our army of support on the day

The Nipper program continues to assist the club membership base and is a great means of attracting new members to the club. The Nipper program had over 350 registered Nippers for the season and thanks again to Bec Capell and her awesome team for making the beach a fun place.

Our carnival and competition expenses for our Masters and Nippers were down by over 50%, mainly bought about by the cancellation of the Australian titles due to COVID-19.

The committee decided to celebrate our 110-year history with a function and reduce a few of our traditional social events such as “Back to the Beach” and “Nantucket Shield Day”. The 110th celebration was the social event of the year with members treated to a memorable night of camaraderie and good humour. Special thanks to John McInerney OAM and his organising committee.

We thank Michael King for arranging timeless memorabilia to record a fantastic decade of marvellous achievements and history, well worth the small investment. The new 110th addition to our history book generated an income of $1,500.00 dollars and will continue to provide a positive income in the season 2020/21.

Wages for the year were up by 13% but in keeping with the additional bar revenue up until

HONORARY TREASURER CONTINUEDthe forced closure of our bar facility due to COVID-19. The bar revenue was on track to a record take for the financial year.

Our general insurances were up marginally due to the new trailer and additional SLS equipment.

We made a provision within the accounts for Bev’s Long Service Leave and included an adjustment to prior year balances taken up as an expense below the line.

Thanks to Jan Proudfoot for organising RAM Marketing to update our website. It is now more responsive to mobile devices and our calendar has a filter so members can keep track of the club activities that they are particularly interested in.

We thank Robert and Louis Barkley for donating their labour and materials to install the new air-conditioning unit to the administration office.

We upgraded some of our first aid equipment and I congratulate our Club Captain (Jess Menzies) and Gear Steward (Scott Newey) for keeping our repair costs on our general rescue equipment to a minimum.

We had a small increase in our training and development costs which is always a welcome expense as we further our skill set and knowledge of our general patrolling member.

Finally, I have again enjoyed my year as Treasurer and would like to thank Bev, Glen and the committee for their support. The club’s finances are in a strong position to get through this difficult time of COVID-19. I expect with current measures in place of controlling costs and future expenditure will see another successful year in the season of 2020/21.

Rob Barkley

We also acknowledge and appreciate the: » NSW Government’s Department of Justice (Office of Emergency Management) for the ongoing

funding of state-wide operations, which benefit all members through our co-operative agreement. » NSW Government for the support provided through The Office of Sport. » Federal Government for the Beach Safety Equipment Funding which directed $5,000 to every SLSC

for the purchase of vital rescue equipment, first aid and medical supplies. » Federal Government for the VET Funding which enabled our assessors to update their training

qualifications and provided updated training equipment including QCPR (Quality Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) manikins and tablets.

Notes of the Financial StatementsNewport Surf Life Saving ClubFor the year ended 30 April 2020

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements are special purpose financial statements prepared in order to satisfy the financial reportingrequirements of the Associations Incorporation Act 2009 (NSW), the Charitable Fundraising Act 1991 (NSW) and the AustralianCharities and Not-for-Profits Commission Act 2012 (Cth) and the club's constitution. The committee has determined that theassociation is not a reporting entity.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the above acts and regulations, the club'sconstitution and the following Australian Accounting Standards:

AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements

AASB 107 Statements of Cash Flows

AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors

AASB 1031 Materiality

AASB 1048 Interpretation of Accounting Standards

AASB 1054 Australian Additional Disclosures

No other Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations or other authoritative pronouncements of the AustralianAccounting Standards Board have been applied.

The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historic costs and do not take into accountchanging money values or, except where stated specifically, current valuations of non-current assets. The following significantaccounting policies, which are consistent with the previous period unless stated otherwise, have been adopted in thepreparation of these financial statements.

Income Tax

No provision for income tax has been raised as the Association is exempt from income tax under Div 50 of the Income TaxAssessment Act 1997.

Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE)

Leasehold improvements and office equipment are carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation.

In the event the carrying value of plant and equipment is greater than the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying value iswritten down immediately to the estimated recoverable amount. A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made whenimpairment indicators are present.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it isprobable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the association and the cost of the item can bemeasured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during thefinancial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation

The depreciation method and useful life used for items of property, plant and equipment(excluding freehold land) reflects thepattern in which their future economic benefits are expected to be consumed by the association. Depreciation commences fromthe time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired periodof the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. The depreciation method and useful life of assets is reviewed

Notes of the Financial Statements


annually to ensure they are still appropriate.

An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater thanits estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains or losses arerecognised in profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation surplus relating to that asset aretransferred to retained earnings.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments which are readily convertibleto known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Bank overdrafts are presented withincurrent liabilities on the statement of financial position.

Employee Provisions

Provision is made for the association’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end ofthe reporting period. Employee provisions have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled.

Revenue and Other Income

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade discountsand volume rebates allowed. For this purpose, deferred consideration is not discounted to present values when recognisingrevenue.

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method, which for floating rate financial assets is the rate inherent inthe instrument. Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established.

Grant and donation income is recognised when the entity obtains control over the funds, which is generally at the time ofreceipt.

If conditions are attached to the grant that must be satisfied before the association is eligible to receive the contribution,recognition of the grant as revenue will be deferred until those conditions are satisfied.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax.

Financial Instruments

Recognition, initial measurement and derecognition

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Association becomes a party to the contractual provisions ofthe financial instrument, and are measured initially at fair value adjusted by transactions costs, except for those carried at fairvalue through profit or loss, which are measured initially at fair value. Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financialliabilities are described below.Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when thefinancial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished,discharged, cancelled or expires.Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets

Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transactionprice, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable).For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets other than those designated and effective as hedging instrumentsare classified into the following categories upon initial recognition:

• amortised cost

• fair value through profit or loss (FVPL)



• equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs,finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented within other expenses.

Classifications are determined by both:

• The entities business model for managing the financial asset

• The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assetsAll income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs,finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables, which is presented within other expenses.

Subsequent measurement financial assets

Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not designated as FVPL):

• they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its contractual cash flows

• the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on theprincipal amount outstandingAfter initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted wherethe effect of discounting is immaterial. The Association’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall intothis category of financial instruments as well as long-term deposit that were previously classified as held-to-maturity underAASB 139.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL)

Financial assets that are held within a different business model other than ‘hold to collect’ or ‘hold to collect and sell’ arecategorised at fair value through profit and loss. Further, irrespective of business model financial assets whose contractual cashflows are not solely payments of principal and interest are accounted for at FVPL. All derivative financial instruments fall intothis category, except for those designated and effective as hedging instruments, for which the hedge accounting requirementsapply (see below).Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (Equity FVOCI)

Investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading are eligible for an irrevocable election at inception to bemeasured at FVOCI. Under Equity FVOCI, subsequent movements in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive incomeand are never reclassified to profit or loss. Dividend from these investments continue to be recorded as other income within theprofit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents return of capital.

Impairment of Financial assets

AASB 9’s impairment requirements use more forward looking information to recognize expected credit losses - the ‘expectedcredit losses (ECL) model’. Instruments within the scope of the new requirements included loans and other debt-type financialassets measured at amortised cost and FVOCI, trade receivables and loan commitments and some financial guarantee contracts(for the issuer) that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss.

The Association considers a broader range of information when assessing credit risk and measuring expected credit losses,including past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of thefuture cash flows of the instrument.

In applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between:

• financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or that have low creditrisk (‘Stage 1’) and

• financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition and whose credit risk is notlow (‘Stage 2’).‘Stage 3’ would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date.

‘12-month expected credit losses’ are recognised for the first category while ‘lifetime expected credit losses’ are recognised forthe second category.



Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined by a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expectedlife of the financial instrument.

Trade and other receivables

The Association makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade and other receivables and records the lossallowance at the amount equal to the expected lifetime credit losses. In using this practical expedient, the Association uses itshistorical experience, external indicators and forward-looking information to calculate the expected credit losses using aprovision matrix.

Classification andmeasurement of financial liabilities

As the accounting for financial liabilities remains largely unchanged from AASB 139, the Association’s financial liabilities werenot impacted by the adoption of AASB 9. However, for completeness, the accounting policy is disclosed below.

The Association’s financial liabilities include borrowings and trade and other payables.

Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless theAssociation designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss.

Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for derivatives andfinancial liabilities designated at FVPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit orloss (other than derivative financial instruments that are designated and effective as hedging instruments).

All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument’s fair value that are reported in profit or loss areincluded within finance costs or finance income.

Leases

Prior Treatment

Finance Leases were capitalised, recording an asset and a liability.

Leased assets were depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Finance leases were allocated between the reduction of thelease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remained with the lessor, were charged asexpenses in the periods in which they were incurred.

New Accounting Standards Introduced

AASB 16: Leases (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019) replaces the previous accountingrequirements. AASB 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model that eliminates the requirement for lease to be classified asoperating or finance leases.

The main changes introduced by the new Standard are as follows:

- recognition of a right-of-use asset and liability for all leases (excluding short-term leases with less than 12 months of tenureand leases relating to low-value assets);

- depreciation of right-of-use assets in line with AASB 116: Property Plant & Equipment in profit or loss and unwinding of theliability in principal and interest components;

- inclusion of variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate in the initial measurement of the lease liability using theindex or rate at the commencement date;

- application of a practical expedient to permit a lessee to elect not to separate non-lease components and instead account forall components as a lease; and

- inclusion of additional exposure requirements.

AASB 2018-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Right-of-Use Assets of Not-for-Profit Entities allows that wherethe lessee is a not-for-profit entity, the lessee may elect to measure right-of-use assets on a class-by-class basis at initial



recognition at fair value in accordance with AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement for leases that have significant below-marketterms and conditions principally to enable the entity to further its objectives. AASB 1058 Income for Not-for-Profit Entitiesaddresses the recognition of related amounts.

In addition, where a lessee is a not-for-profit entity and elects to measure a class or classes of right-of-use assets at initialrecognition at cost for leases that have significantly below-market terms and conditions principally to enable the entity tofurther its objectives, the lessee shall disclose additional qualitative and quantitative information about those leases which shallinclude, but is not limited to, information that helps users of financial statements to assess:

(a) the entity’s dependence on leases that have significantly below-market terms and conditions principally to enable the entityto further its objectives; and

(b) the nature and terms of the leases, including:

(i) the lease payments

(j) the lease term

(k) the description of underlying asset; and

(l) restrictions on the use of the underlying assets specific to the entity.

The disclosures so provided by a not-for-profit entity shall be provided individually for each material lease that has significantlybelow-market terms and conditions principally to enable the entity to further its objectives or in aggregate for leases involvingright-of-use assets of a similar nature.

Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is notrecoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GSTreceivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables orpayables in the assets and liabilities statement.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. No value is ascribed to goods for resale that have beendonated to the Association where fair value cannot be reliably determined. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price inthe ordinary course of business, less any applicable selling expenses.

Independent Auditor's ReportNewport Surf Life Saving ClubFor the year ended 30 April 2020

Qualified Opinion

I have audited the accompanying financial report, being a special purpose financial report, ofNewport Surf Life SavingClub (the Association), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 April 2020, the statement of profit and lossand other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notescomprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the responsible entities'declaration.

In my opinion, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis of Qualified Opinion section of my report, the financialreport of the Newport Surf Life Saving Club as at 30 April 2020 presents fairly in all material aspects the financial position of theNewport Surf Life Saving Club and its financial performance for the year then ended in accordance with the basis of accountingdescribed in Note 1 to the financial report and satisfies the requirements of the Charitable Fundraising Act 1991 (NSW), theAssociations Incorporation Act 2009 (NSW), the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Act 2012 (Cth) and the Club’s constitutionincluding:

a) giving a fair and true view of the registered entity's financial position as at 30 April 2020 and of its financial performance forthe year ended; and

b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards to the extent described in Note 1, and Division 60 of the AustralianCharities and Not-for-profits Commission Regulation 2013

Basis of Qualified Opinion

It is not practical for the Newport Surf Life Saving Club to maintain an effective system of internal control over donations andfundraising activities until their entry in the accounting records. Accordingly, my audit in relation to donations and fundraisingactivities was limited to amounts recorded.

I conducted my audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. My responsibilities under those standards are furtherdescribed in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of my report. I am independent of theregistered entity in accordance with the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’sAPES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to my audit of the financial report in Australia.I have also fulfilled my other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion.

Emphasis of Matter - Basis of Accounting

I draw attention to Note 1 to the financial report, which describes the basis of accounting. The financial report has beenprepared for the purpose of fulfilling the Association’s financial reporting responsibilities under the Charitable Fundraising Act1991 (NSW), the Associations Incorporation Act 2009 (NSW), the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Act 2012 (Cth) and theClub’s constitution.

CLUB CAPTAINThe 2019-20 season was a little different to our usual Surf Life Saving season. However, it was just as successful and eventful! Our members managed to complete a total of 8,537 patrol hours. This is a fantastic feat considering that our patrol season was unfortunately cut short by about five weeks due to the COVID-19 virus and the need to isolate and limit the number of people on our beaches. The last couple of weeks were difficult for all involved due to the ever-changing conditions daily and sometimes even hourly. All Patrol Captains remained committed and handled the situation extremely well.

Despite the early end to the seasons our patrols still managed to effectively patrol Newport Beach with our rescues for the season decreasing by greater than 50% from last season with a total of 13 rescues for the season. This is another amazing effort by our team, showing that we are preventing the public from getting into trouble before it happens and they require rescuing.

A huge thank you goes to all our volunteer life savers for giving up your time to help patrol our beach and keep the public of Newport safe. I thank you all for giving up your time to come down and patrol to ensure that our record of ‘no lives lost’ on Newport Beach remains spotless.

As mentioned above, a big thank you goes to our Patrol Captains; you guys have done an amazing job this season ensuring that your patrols are set up and ready to go every weekend.

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate everyone who completed their SRC or Bronze Medallion this season and welcome you to our club. This is a wonderful success and I hope you have enjoyed your patrols so far and for many years into the future.

Another congratulation goes to those members who have completed higher awards this season and are expanding their surf life saving knowledge and experience and assisting our patrols to become stronger.

This season our Bronze Patrol for the new members who had just completed their bronze medallion and SRC continued. The patrol is made up of brand-new Bronze and SRC members who have just completed their award the day before and the trainers of the bronze group. I am pleased the see that this patrol continues to build a positive experience for both the new Bronze, SRC members and the trainers. This has proved to be an ideal way to introduce our new members to the basics of patrolling as well as the other opportunities that are offered within the club and surf life saving.

Kieran Menzies, Lauren Budd, Liam Taurins and Jess Menzies on Christmas Day

To our support operations members, I also thank you for going above and beyond your commitment to Newport Surf Life Saving Club and assisting

with the Branch Support Services including Surfcom Operators, Jet Ski Operators, Duty Officers and the After Hours Call Out Team. You guys spend an amazing amount of time not only keeping Newport safe but most of the Northern Beaches. This season was notably different for these team members as while Newport Surf Life Saving Club was not patrolling, the members of the Support Operations Team was continuing to patrol on the jet skis and attend call outs and incidents when required up and down the Branch.

Unfortunately, due to the sudden end of the season, we were unable to hold the Patrol Competition this season. Hopefully, we will be back into this next season and the results will be bigger and better than ever.

Finally, I would like to thank the team working tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure that everything runs as smoothly as possible. Thank you to Lauren Budd as my Vice-Captain, Sandy Menzies our First Aid Officer for ensuring that all our first aid equipment is stocked and ready to go, Matt Edwards, our Powercraft Captain for ensuring our IRBs and ATV are always in working order. Also, thanks to Scott Newey, our Gear Steward for maintaining our equipment so it is ready to go every weekend.

I look forward to seeing you all next season.Jess Menzies

CLUB CAPTAIN CONTINUED

PATROL CAPTAINSPATROL 1The 2019-20 season has been a short, yet enjoyable one and we have had some great times on patrol. It was pleasing to see some new faces as well as the return of our regulars who are always happy to help season after season. I’d also like to give a big thank you to the fill-ins and extras who joined many of our patrols and provided additional help on busy days - it was great to meet you all, and I look forward to seeing many of you again next season! To those who completed new awards, congratulations on your achievement, it will be great to see you putting your learning into practice next season.

We were lucky enough to avoid most of the rainy days - much different from last season - and enjoyed the patrols with plenty of sun and excellent surf conditions. With the Pool to Peak held on our patrol this year, we had all hands on deck to

ensure the safety of not only the competitors but also the general beach population and I’m proud of the way our patrol performed under the added responsibility. A big thank you to those who attended that patrol and to those who volunteered in other roles to help the event run smoothly.

Patrol 1 is grateful that we were able to complete most of our patrols before the unfortunate early ending. Finally, I would like to give a special mention to Junior (Andrew Stevens), Peter Finch and Brendan Doyle for their continued guidance and support throughout the season, and thanks to Naomi Bronier for assisting where needed, it is much appreciated. Looking forward to seeing everyone next season, stay safe and enjoy the off-season!

Nathan Doyle (Ranga)

PATROL 2The 2019-20 season was another excellent and exciting one for the Love Patrol.

We welcomed a wonderful group of brand new SRC kids onto the patrol. These guys and girls slotted into the patrol beautifully and very quickly built on their surf awareness, knowledge, and patrol activities.

We continued to use the patrol technique called the “Good Shepherd” - something that is unique to the Love Patrol. This, combined with many preventative actions, resulted in very few incidents and no rescues!

I want to say a massive thank you to everyone that has assisted the patrol in some way shape or form.

And lastly, a massively huge thank you to everyone on the patrol! All your efforts during the season have not gone unnoticed. To be included in your enthusiasm and professionalism is absolutely amazing - you are all beautiful humans.

Unfortunately, we had to cut the season short, and it was a shame we could not officially finish. I look forward to seeing you all next year!

PATROL 3 - “BOATIES”

PATROL CAPTAINS CONTINUED

We had another fantastic year between the flags for Patrol 3. A changing of the guard as it were for our patrol this year, as senior, longer serving members took a step back. It was great to see the younger members stepping up to take on the awards and extra responsibilities. I’m very proud of what we’ve

achieved this year, either in the yellow and red between the flags or in club colours on the beach racing. Once again, another great year under the tent full of laughs while keeping the beach safe. See you next season.

PATROL 4 - “THE BERNIES”For Patrol 4, “The Bernies” 2019/2020 was a season of change, growth and renewal. As with most seasons, issues developed right at the end of patrol, or even after flags down with the multiple preventatives and rescues of the rugby players.

Bernie held to his long-earnt retirement status from active duties, but pleasingly visited us most patrols that he wasn’t otherwise engaged with judging duties. Other Bernies stalwarts to step back for the season (and reason) included: Wayne and Kym Charles (family commitments), Robyn Gardner (family), Rory (Janssens) Thompson (baby Rosie), Tamsin Holloway (extended honeymoon) and Jon ‘The Rock’ Wall (Rottnest Channel).

Rory and Alex welcomed Rosie Thompson (pictured) to the world, and we look forward to welcoming Rosie to Newport Nippers and The Bernies in the years ahead.

Jon Wall maintained proficiency and reduced his patrol load this season due to his intense swim preparation schedule for the Rottnest Channel swim. If you glanced at the Newport bay during the past year, and noticed a solo swimmer doing a long swim, there is a good chance it was Jon Wall. Jon successfully completed the ~22 km Rottnest Channel swim on February 22, in a time of

7 hours, 25 minutes. The preparation for such a gruelling event, is an amazing commitment and an inspiration. Jon’s determination and preparation will set him up for success in the English Channel swim in 2022. The ripple effects of Jon’s inspiring endurance swimming, and COVID driven “Work From Home” has seen many Bernies, swimming just a little bit further every morning through the off season.

I want to thank all the Bernies for comradeship on the beach, and the stalwarts who we rely on whenever rostered to be there for set up, for pack down, to be alert, and to find substitutes when not available. Special mention to the ‘100%ers’ Elaine Krek, Nick Rogers, and Allen Janssens, who once again filled the Captain of Vices role so well and covered me as required. Also, our social guru Tracy McGuire who strives to corral us for social gatherings.

One social event stood out this year. With “The Bernies”, Newport’s Annual Presentation night an online event this year, a few of The Bernies past and present, gathered in a socially distant way to celebrate the The Bernies with The Bernie. Please see the photo underneath my Registrar’s report on page 54.

PATROL 5With the patrolling season coming to a premature end, Patrol 5 missed its last couple of patrols, however enjoyed a productive season on the beach both between the flags and in other areas of club activities.

Patrol 5 members continue to provide great contributions to the club beyond the rostered patrols including water safety; first aid and work party assistance at carnivals; club events; Pub 2 Pub and the Pool to Peak swims. I would like to thank all members for their willingness to help when needed.

Patrol 5 also continues to develop as an all-round patrol in surf sports, with members competing in all disciplines including IRB racing, sprint, board, ski, swim, surf boat rowing, champion lifesaver and patrol competition. This sees our members developing their rescue skills to ever increasing levels of rescue readiness, complementing the valuable first aid and resuscitation competencies within our team.

Thanks to all members of Patrol 5 for their dedication throughout the season and I look forward to seeing you all on the beach again soon.

PATROL 62019-20 represented a “changing of the guard” for Patrol 6. While still being led brilliantly from the front (naturally) by yours truly and Gary “Gaz” Dixon, the long-term safety net provided by club legends Doug and Sandy Menzies (who relocated to Port Macquarie) was removed.

But with change comes opportunity, and there was no shortage of people willing to step in and fill the void. Thank you in no particular order to Gaz, Hayden Loader, Brendan Menzies, the Jacobsens (Bec & Paul), Crutchy (Ian Crutch), Gez (Geraldine Torrens) and Ro (Rohan Whiteford), Cooky (Shane Cook), Simon Mahon, Tony Watson, Brad Griffith, Ian May, Ella May, Brooke Flynn, Tahlia O’Brien, the Brennans (Kevin & Therese),

the Wearns (Andrew & Belinda), Harry Lundgren, Zac Van Dam, Tom Donohoe, Wilson Hall, Hannah Reeve and Joel Budd. And last but not least, thanks Statler and Waldorf (aka Rudi Valla and Mike Rosic) for their cameo appearances.

Highlights were the fun we had on every patrol while keeping the beach safe. And if you ever needed evidence that, while grumpier, Crutchy has never really progressed beyond a 12-year-old loveable larrikin, check out the pic.

Thanks again and see you all on the beach later this year!

Scott Bridges

PATROL 7 - “THE PREMIER PATROL”This season our patrol continued to work well as a team, based on good camaraderie and the fact we’ve been together for several years. We enjoyed having Viv Lee, Todd Woods and John Wenborne join us after completing their Bronze Medallions, as full patrolling members.

Our SRC girls are growing in confidence and ability and add a younger dynamic to some of us who fall into the master category.

It was a tough season, more so for the events taking place off the beach, namely the bush fires and Covid-19. For many of us, being on the beach patrolling is a great escape from the busy pace of life and a chance to focus on the ocean and

activities on the beach. Catching up with friends on patrol and connecting with nature is a welcome reprieve and part of why we volunteer our time.

The highlight for me this season was seeing Vice Captain, Angus Crichton, not only assist a paraplegic in his 20s on the wheelchair to the water’s edge, but also offer to take him into the ocean. The look on this young lad’s face was pure joy for the 10 minutes Angus supported him in the surf. This goes to remind us of how fortunate we are to have our health and to be part of a surf life saving community that goes above and beyond on our beautiful Newport Beach.

James Oxenham


PATROL 8You know it is the start of summer when Bob Major rocks up at the first patrol with as much enthusiasm as an SRC rookie. Bob, John Greenhill and Mal French continue to inspire and to show us through their actions the importance of giving back to the community and staying ocean fit.

Further inspiration is drawn from our competitors: Jackson Borg, Glen Borg and Matt Bell, who continue to represent our great club with dignity and desire. Our youngest members are rising through the ranks by taking on more responsibilities each year with the roles of IRB drivers and crew. We have a reliable first aid crew with competitor Lucinda Bentley, backed up by Carolyn Hayes and Chris Borg. A season of no blue bottles, a season cut short by a virus that makes

blue bottles seem insignificant, even friendly in comparison.

Our most significant contribution to the community and club this year was filling sandbags to protect the clubhouse from a predicted large swell in October. A season that should remind us of the benefits of being girt by sea and the role we play as volunteers. A big thank to all Patrol 8 members for your continued attendance, support, vigilance and caring. A big thank you also to Glen Borg and Jessica Menzies whose continued leaderships, initiatives and guidance are much appreciated and necessary to maintain the high standards that the club sets.

Tony Hayes

PATROL 9Patrol 9 either started this season early, or ended last season late, with a celebratory dinner at the Park House due to winning the patrol comp last season. The food, drinks and of course the company was great, and I think we’d all agree that we should be supporting our sponsors when we are again able to.

We were once again able to roll into the new season gently, not being allocated the first weekend of patrols and instead starting on the labour day long weekend. And it was a beautiful start with warm sunny weather and some good waves. Throughout the season we managed to get a good spread of morning and afternoon patrols and generally the weather co-operated. Once again, we had patrol members get their IRB and ARTC

qualifications throughout the year. Congratulations to all who took on this extra responsibility and education; your ongoing commitment to keeping the beach and public safe is appreciated.

The most memorable patrol for the season came around on 9 February, with the largest rainfall in NSW since 1998. Huge surf, that had members of the public stopping by the club just to check it out, was coupled with driving rain. Patrolling from the clubhouse, even that didn’t remain dry with rain being driven into the club horizontally due to the strength of the wind. Mark Pawlyszyn, arriving mid patrol after fighting his way there on public transport, was amazing and shows the dedication of the team. Thankfully the public behaved and we


didn’t end up with any issues on what would have been a tough day to perform any rescues.

Numbers fluctuated across the season as work and sport commitments and travel took their usual toll. Sadly, Wendy Taurins decided not to patrol again this season, after being a stalwart of the patrol for years. Thank you Wendy, for your seasons of service and a good choice to go out on top! As a result, we also saw less of Sascha and Harrison, although I think the HSC and kayaking commitments may have had something to do with it, with Sascha being selected to represent Australia for kayaking. The Eddies (Matt & Katie) also missed the start of the season, as they were in Doha attending the World

Athletics Championships where Kristie had been selected to represent Australia in the 4x100 relay team. Amazing results for your hard work and determination, so congratulations.

As we all know, the patrol season ended early due to the pandemic, so we weren’t able to say a proper thank you to the team for all your efforts and time given to patrolling with us. To all of Patrol 9, whether a regular or occasional attendee, we thank you for your time and assistance as you make it so much easier for us. We are looking forward to catching up with you all again when able and to seeing you next season!

Matt Edwards and Jeremy Paul

PATROL 10 “GOURMET PATROL”Reflecting on my twenty first patrolling season, I still find enjoyment in the beach banter with fellow patrol members whilst doing our bit for the beach loving community. I thank all our members for their contribution in keeping the swimming public safe.

We thank vice-captain Chloe Van Dam, Bob Allo, Olivia Giligorevic, fiery Geoff McAllister, Anna and Fernando Gonzalo for being the backbone of the patrol for the majority of our patrol commitments.

Congratulations to Fernando for achieving his SRC and rejuvenating our patrol.

We congratulate those members whom if not for the on-set of COVID-19 would have achieved 100% patrol attendance.

We congratulate the competitors of our team on their marvellous achievements during the season. We are amazed at their determination and awesome fitness; we are proud of their outstanding results. Well done to Max Brooks, Charlie Brooks, Chloe Van Dam and Analise Kibble.

Special recognition for the last of two of the original seven members of the Gourmet Patrol. We thank these amazing characters, Dave Buchan and Bill Inglis, for their 18 years of patrol service.

Thanks all for the season.Rob Barkley

Mark Fletcher - Patrol 11 Captain

PATROL 11In 2019-2020 season Patrol 11 had another successful and enjoyable season. While patrolling the beach, our patrol members enjoyed improving their water-skills, challenged to swim out to “Kylie” and always supported by our junior crew on rescue boards.

We warmly welcomed three new bronze members this season: Kim Macpherson, Graeme Smith and Rory MacEwan. Each is bringing their talents to our gourmet patrol.

Unfortunately, we are farewelling Marvin Smith from Newport SLSC. Marvin is transferring to South Narrabeen SLSC. Marvin’s contribution to the club is outstanding for a member of his age. He is dependable and brings an energy

that extends beyond lifesaving. He is also a fantastic photographer! We also thank Marvin for contributing numerous photos to this annual report.

Australia Day was a highlight for Patrol 11 this year. We managed to celebrate Australia Day with a local tradition of the beach-babes afternoon tea on the rescue board. Always ready to perform a rescue!

Jan Proudfoot (co-captain) and I would like to thank our patrol members for their dedication to the community.

Finally, congratulations to our very own Phoebe Savage for being awarded the Michael Hill Memorial Trophy for Club Member of the year!

Peter Probert - Patrol 12 VC and Jet Ski Operator

PATROL 12Another season has come and gone for Patrol 12. We had a brilliant summer with only a few minor incidents on the beach that I’m pleased to say was nothing out of the ordinary.

Luckily for us, we had no carnivals or major club activities on our patrol days, avoiding the additional workload compared to normal.

This season we welcomed three new patrolling members, Zoe Adam, Tiffany Mabbott and Ashley Halfpenny. They gained their Bronze Medallion in December, joined us in the new year

and have been a welcomed addition to the team. We look forward to seeing them again next season.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all Patrol 12 members for their commitment and enthusiasm this season, and I’m looking forward to seeing you next season.

The season itself was one that will be remembered for the wrong reasons… fires, floods and virus! Let’s hope the 2020-2021 SLS season is a “normal one”.

Jess Menzies


PATROL 14Another season finished, just not with the ending we are used to! It only seems like last week that we were doing our first patrol, with the traditional terrible weather Patrol 14 usually experiences. Even with more beach closures than ever before, the enthusiasm of our members wasn’t dampened. Our first aid skills were tested this year, and we demonstrated the strengths of our team members,

and our ability to pull together for a successful outcome. A big thank you to the returning regulars and a big welcome to the new and very enthusiastic members of our patrol. Congratulations to Patrol 14 on yet another successful and safe season.

I look forward to patrolling with you all next season, hopefully with the beach open!

REGISTRARI want to start my report by recognising John Greenhill for his tireless assistance in my rookie year on the Newport SLSC Committee and as your Registrar, (your member services contact). John kindly gave me ample transition time and training but also assisted on each of the previous Registration Days. He filled in for me and completed significant volumes of registration entries when circumstances dictated. The Digital Revolution is Here – Get on BoardSecondly, I’d like to reinforce and emphasise the key element of John’s Registrar’s report from last year: Self-managed online accounts are the future for SLS generally and for Newport SLSC.

The benefits you unlock by taking ownership of your digital membership include access to a 24/7 tailored, bespoke, comprehensive, up to date information feed on your SLSA membership. For example:

» Upcoming patrols; » Award listing, history and expiry dates; » Patrol hours for current and past seasons; » Membership history; » Access to the SLSA eLearning modules

(including mandatory prerequisites for Bronze Medallion and other proficiencies);

» A document library, including video and document training materials;

» A personal dashboard and news feed (including COVID updates);

» Access to member offers and the SLSA members only store;

» The ability for you to self-manage all aspects of your SLSA membership, such as:• Updating your details, including contact

details and preferences (reducing paper consumption, eliminating the errors of double handling and entry of data);

• Renewing membership, making payments, and initiating transfer; and

• Managing your ‘Family Membership’.As well as the benefits unlocked for you and

your family, the club will benefit through reduced non-productive administrative work, eliminating the need for paper membership forms filled out by members offline then entered by club volunteers.

Also, the former ‘Registration Days’, where keen Nippers queue all morning with mum or dad, to register and pay, will become a fun Open Day. Our Open Day will give you a chance to grab some gear, enjoy a sausage sizzle, meet other members and ask questions about Sunday morning Nippers, competition or training courses before getting onto the sand and into the water.

This future state is available now, and the target endorsed by the 2019 committee is for a 98% digitised membership. That means if you aren’t one of the ~20 life members, and you aren’t using the members’ area already, please make ready in good time. Go digital before next season!

For those who may have experienced IT issues in the past, the system has improved, and there are help desks, FAQs, password reset options, and mud maps to ease you through. Besides, we will be publishing more information in the coming months and hosting ‘how to’ online events. Some in-person help will be available by bookings on the Open Day (20 September 2020). Finally, if all else fails, take the classic IT issue advice — stop and re-start your device.

Once we achieve substantial self-access online membership, other club benefits can be explored such as bar discounts for members, and membership fees including rebate amounts for the bar and the club shop.

I’d also like to personally thank Jan Proudfoot for helping me in my member portfolio, and for persuading our committee to walk the walk with digital efficiencies.Future Membership FeesOur membership fees are a significant, relatively stable and reliable element of the club’s overall revenue source. Also, from every membership, a capitation fee is paid to the governing body, including the vital insurance and injury compensation provisions.

Our fees have remained constant for the past three years. Following tradition, the incoming committee will determine the prices for next season. Given the dynamic effects of COVID on the economic environment and the hardship that will follow in our community, this is particularly appropriate for the 2020 season. Evident

considerations for the new committee for fee levels and structure include:

» COVID-19 impacts: potential provision for expanded hardship memberships, the potential impact on membership numbers, other revenue sources;

» Review of the July to December Active Kids Voucher value, and our junior members’ fee levels;

» Benchmarking with neighbouring clubs; » Benchmarking against the notional costs for

memberships and training courses, including

capitation fees, uniforms, medallion and certificate costs;

» Consideration of the value in volunteer training and the community service provided by each member and training category; Year on year consistency; and

» Simplicity.I look forward to sharing the fun of our first

Open Day on 20 September!Eric Crooke

CHIEF INSTRUCTORAs always, a massive thanks goes to all the trainers, assessors and facilitators within the club. This team work so hard throughout the season to ensure that our members have the highest possible level of training when they step onto the beach.

Before the start of the season we decided to put our hand up to be a pilot club for the new Bronze and SRC course and Newport was selected as one of 28 clubs nationally to trial these courses. They will now come into effect in the 2020-2021 season. The September school holiday express course turned out to be the first course nationally to be assessed under the pilot program. We then followed up with full length Bronze and SRC pilot courses that were assessed in December. Being the first club to run the course and assessment meant that there were a few teething issues that the trainers worked hard to overcome, however the trainers and candidates seemed to enjoy the new format and are looking forward to the national rollout of the new resources which see a complete refresh of both the SRC and Bronze courses including a more streamlined progression from SRC to Bronze.

I would like to thank all the trainers involved for their hard work in taking on board the new content and course structure. Also invaluable was the support from State and Branch as well as the other SNB club in the pilot, Mona Vale.

Unfortunately, our February to April Bronze course got cut short a few weeks from completion and trainees will need to wait until we can start training again to be able to be assessed for their Bronze Medallion. We thank this group for their understanding and patience and look forward to providing them the chance to complete their course.

In other areas we continued to increase our in-house training of Advanced Resuscitation, training 22 members in this award to continue to increase our capabilities in times of need. Under the structure of the new Bronze award next season, we see that the need for Advanced Resuscitation awards will increase and I would encourage patrolling members to undertake this award.

Congratulations to Thomas Doyle for obtaining his Gold Medallion this season. Finn Askew,

Nick Carroll and Phoebe Savage managed to complete their Gold proficiencies for another year, however with the training season coming to a premature end, several people were unable to complete their Gold medallion proficiency this season. We look forward to the chance for them to complete this early next season.

This season the following awards were completed by our members:

» Bronze 28 » Surf Rescue Certificate (SRC) 24 » IRB Crew 10 » Advanced Resuscitation Techniques (ART) 22 » First Aid 23

OUR SOCIAL SWIM GROUPS

Kai Raffles, Sam Capell and Brandon Bartlem

POOL TO PEAK OCEAN SWIMSThe 2020 Pool to Peak ocean swims were held against a backdrop of horrendous bushfires. Sydney was experiencing heavy smoke each day, there was a tragic loss of life and many families lost their homes and businesses.

While the conditions on the day were favourable, I believe the situation would have affected entry numbers. We had a total of 586 swimmers for the three swims but could have reached, in my opinion, 650 swimmers.

Many people were trapped on the South and North Coast of NSW, being holiday time, and news around the world made it look like the whole of Australia was on fire. This cut back the number of overseas swimmers who would normally have entered from many overseas countries.

Over the PA on the day we did recognise that many people were doing it very tough because of the fires, particularly the loss of life. We also paid tribute to the firefighters, police and other services for their heroic work.

Once again, we had the magnificent support of the Harris family through the Harris Farm Markets’ sponsorship not only through their cash

grant but also the supply of all our needs for the barbecue as well as fruit for the swimmers and fruit basket prizes for the prize-winning swimmers.

Our supporters, the Royal Motor Yacht Club, Temperzone, Caffeine Villains and Johnson Bros Mitre Ten are also a vital part of the Pool to Peak’s success as a major fund raiser for the club. This year in total we raised approximately $22,000.

The Royal Motor Yacht Club also assists with the loan of swimming buoys. Gary Cook also works with Branch for the loan of the popular pink cone buoys and associated equipment.

It is very important we support our sponsors and supporters particularly with the current Covid-19 virus wreaking havoc with local businesses and our society as we knew it. Not only do we have the sponsorship from Harris Farm Markets and our supporters but the local Newport business community also support us by providing prizes for our swimmers. This includes DMC Swims who provided 12 sets of fins.

We must also thank Northern Beaches Council for their continued support of the Pittwater Ocean

JOHNSON BROS.

Swim Series and for the provision of the water dispenser as part of our no plastic bottles policy.

Well done to all our workers on registration, safety, set up & pack up, BBQ, parking, fruit cutting, water dispenser set-up and first aid. Tom Kellaway as usual did a great job as our Master of Ceremonies on the microphone.

We must acknowledge the wonderful efforts of Club Captain Jess Menzies, weather/surf expert Nick Carroll, together with BBQ King Bob Major and his merry Knackers men for the very important roles they play in our event.

IRB and boat crews plus the on duty patrol members, who assist with guiding returning swimmers to the beach safely, are important contributors to the success of the event. And, let’s not forget the jet ski drivers and crews for their important roles.

It is important that we pay tribute to the founders of the Pool to Peak swims and all the people who have worked over the years to make the P2P what it is today. Names that come to mind are Emma St. Clair, Dave Garnham, Howard Moxham, Kim Charles and Robyn Gardner. They hung in there and we are grateful for their early work.

Let’s pay tribute to the hard-working Pool to Peak committee, Dave Garnham, Chris Garnham, Life Member and Event Referee Gary Cook, our ESO Richard Andjelkovic (Alphabet), Rob Barkley, Jan Proudfoot and Life Member Col Maclean. Their expertise in every aspect of the P2P

organisation is outstanding and it makes for a highly professional event.

The Pool to Peak is now one of the highlights of the ocean swimming calendar and greatly respected by the ocean swimming community.

Luckily, it was too early for us to be affected by the virus pandemic. The Avalon swims and many other swims had to be cancelled.

But with so many people getting sick and dying, people losing their jobs and businesses closing we are of course aware it is after all just an ocean swim. No matter how important it may be to the club, the Pool to Peak is of little consequence in these drastic times.

The process of achieving authorisations is underway for next year’s swims to be held on Sunday 3rd of January 2021 and we expect to have all these through by June 30.

Finally, we are thinking of all those impacted by the virus, and we wish everyone an early return to normality. It will be wonderful to relax with friends and family then get back to the club that is so much a part of our lives. To have everyone smiling and working on the next Pool to Peak Ocean Swims will be fantastic as it brings club members of all ages together and lifts the spirits!

The P2P committee was well supported by club President Glen Borg for the organisation of the 2020 swims.

In the meantime, stay safe and healthy.John Guthrie, Life Member

Preventative Actions by Type

First Aid by Type

FIRST AID OFFICERThank you to everyone for your assistance with first aid at carnivals, the ocean swim, and other events throughout the season. Though the season was cut short due to COVID-19 restrictions all patrol members have done a great job keeping our beach safe for the public.

Our statistics are shown in the charts below.

Special thanks must also go to Lily Tancred and Jess Menzies for assisting me with restocking and organising assistance for first aid at events – without you both I could not have made it through the season.

Everyone take care and be safe, and I’ll see you on the beach.

Sandy Menzies

HOUSE CAPTAINJust a few items to mention:

» The metal grills in the ladies’ toilet entry door was adjusted and re-fixed in place.

» A new closing mechanism was fitted to the ladies’ toilet entry door.

» The outdoor timber surfaces were cleaned and re-stained prior to the start of our patrolling season.

» Hi-vis non-skid paint was applied to the external stairs leading up to the deck area; and just prior to the shutdown, anti-mould and disinfectant were used around the showers and lower wall areas of both women’s and men’s showers.

» Our national flag continued to be raised each Sunday.

» Rob Barkley very kindly donated a new reverse cycle air-conditioning unit to the club. Together with his sons, Robert and Louis, Rob installed the unit into the club office.

We are extremely thankful to Northern Beaches Council who carried out some major refurbishments to the club during the season with the following deserving of a special mention

» Repainting of the external deck walls, replacement of timber ledges and steps/railings on the southern stairs and maintenance of the front gardens.

» Replacement of lighting and electricals to the downstairs clubhouse, including the bathrooms, hallway, foyers, first aid room and gym, with a sensor system installed as well as new distribution boards and circuit breakers.

PUBLICITY OFFICERAt the risk of sounding overly dramatic, the 2019-2020 season did seem to play out like a page out of the Old Testament with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse nipping at our collective heels.

Unimaginable losses during the Black Summer bushfires, flooding across the Northern Beaches in February. Let us not forget our latest learnings with new terms like “COVID-19”, “flattening the curve” and “social distancing”.

Many of the stories featured this season reflected these challenging times and appropriately so. Again, the surf club’s raison d’être was made evident during the 2019-20 season. Not only is it a venue to celebrate our sporting and competitive successes, but the surf club is also a community stronghold.

From the beginning of the season, our Call Out Team was tasked to assist Police and the Rural Fire Service (RFS) with community welfare checks due to flooding. Locals held fundraisers for the bushfires and the club held several mental health workshops. A few Defence Veterans and Active Members from our Armed Forces were inducted into the Bronze programme. Our Marlins and Dolphins shared their successes and our Nippers their concern with the environment. We couldn’t pay our respects to our ANZACs together this year but read the remarkable story of Mark Sheldon.

Our biggest yearly sporting event did not eventuate in 2020. The year-long preparation of hundreds of local athletes came to a grinding halt when the Aussies were cancelled due to the Pandemic in April. A bitter disappointment for many.

Many thanks to our contributors - Michael King, Ian Crutch, Bev Barnes, Jess Menzies, Leanne Pate, Rebecca Capell, Glen Borg, and of course Jan Proudfoot wearing her many hats as always.

The “Top 5” Newsletter continues to be a useful communication tool with 68% of the membership either opening the email “often” or “sometimes”.

We measure membership engagement with the newsletter through the yearly average of open and click through rates. Whilst the open rate measures the percentage of members that open the email, the click through rate measures the percentage of members that click through to the website or other links present on the newsletter. The “Top 5” delivered a strong 46.2% open rate and an appreciable 6.6% click through rate this year. These figures are above non-profit industry averages of 38.1% and 4.9% respectively. Our goal is to improve engagement every year, but we need your help with content. But what about our members who don’t have access to a computer or smart phone? Don’t worry, we have that covered. A hard copy is also pinned to the noticeboard in the bar and in the downstairs beachside hallway.

By the way, have you downloaded TeamApp? If not, please see our advertisment on the next page. TeamApp makes it even easier to keep up with our latest news.

Please, keep on sending us your collective stories. They are at the heart of what our surf club is all about. Not just members taking care of members, but also members taking care of their community.

AUSTRALIASLSC

POWERCRAFT CAPTAINIt seemed to start off quite well with this my first year as the Powercraft Captain. We managed to get all the engines serviced by Peter Finch at Pittwater Marine and Slipway Services before gear inspection and all of the Powercraft equipment passed with flying colours. Thank you Peter Finch!

The “Bernie Howard” IRB got a replacement floor as during equipment inspection, a large crack was identified. This was quickly replaced by the supplier. I suspect the Newport shore dump may have had some part to play in that.

This season we have trained up several new IRB crewpersons, with the driver’s course not completed due to the close down for COVID-19. These new additions to our IRB team have assisted us greatly with water safety for Newport’s multiple carnivals as well as awards on patrols. Well done to everyone who has completed an IRB award this season!

Training all these new IRB awards isn’t an easy job and couldn’t be done without our IRB trainers and assessors. Guyren Smith, Barry and Siobhan Cooper, Matt Barron and Stuart Smith with the assistance of several of our race team helping, we managed to put several “Crewies” through the award. As well as the “Green Room”.

A massive thanks to all the drivers and crew who volunteered their time with water safety. We assisted Avalon with the Lion Island Challenge, Bilgola and Whale Beach with their Ocean Swims, of course the huge show up for the Pool to Peak as well as the other competitions on the SNB like the Newport Carnival, Newport Boat Carnival, Nippers Branch etc. The Newport Club is always there as well early to “set the CANs” at several the events and pack them away at the end as well (the Newport IRBs are first on the water and last off)!

Newport had to supply powercraft, drivers and crew to complete some 40+ hours of water safety time at the NSW state carnival at Swansea in early March. A massive effort and thanks to additional

volunteers in the IRB compound and powercraft coordination on the sand as well.

I’m proud to have such an experienced and capable powercraft team at the club who are all willing to support the club in its obligations for water safety at such events.

This season saw us prep and mobilise for some of the extreme weather events and the bushfires. Newport SLSC prepared the powercraft on two occasions to support bushfire evacuations and flood evacuations in the area. We are blessed at the club to have adequate resources to respond to these events if needed as well as a number of skilled powercraft operators as well.

The SNB support ski was again piloted this year by several Newport operators and I thank them for the time they volunteer to stay proficient and to the shifts they perform on the SNB support ski roster. Peter Probert, Nathan Doyle, Guyren Smith, Keelan Smith and myself. Peter Finch for the jet ski training, Kieran Menzies and Adrian Hill for their support to the program.

Finally, a shout out to our sponsors, Crystal Pools, for their ongoing support of the powercraft at Newport.

Cheers till next year! Matt Edwards

SOCIAL SECRETARYThe 2019-20 social season kicked off with our 110th Anniversary, an event that reflected the heart and spirit of our club over the past 110 years. It was great to see over 150 of our members, as well as members of the broader community, gathered at the surf club in celebration and enjoying the fantastic entertainment provided by the Lachie Hamilton Trio.

The next event on the social calendar saw our members hand in their patrol uniforms in exchange for painting smocks for the inaugural Paint & Sip by the Beach. With wine provided by Molly’s Cradle, and artistic guidance provided by Sip ‘n’ Strokes, the event was a delight to be a part of and saw members of the local community get involved in the club in a new and exciting way. This event was a first for the club and I look forward to creating more opportunities that allow us to engage the local community in surf club life.

Later in November, we held our annual Surf Boat Carnival followed by the Season Open Party organised by the rowers. The event saw many competitors stick around after racing to celebrate the beginning of a new competitive season in true ‘boatie’ style.

As per usual, our Friday and Sunday evening ‘After 5’s’ at the surf club bar were a huge success this season. It is lovely to see not only the regulars but also the new faces appearing around the club.

The second half of the season unfortunately saw a decrease in social events given the extenuating circumstances surrounding COVID-19. I look forward to celebrating the re-opening of the surf club once restrictions have lifted as well as having the opportunity to properly acknowledge the fantastic work of our members and athletes over the season past.

Under 9s at Christmas Twilight Nippers

JUNIOR ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE (JAC) CHAIRMANThe 2019–2020 Nipper season was one filled with many challenges, but nothing that our Nipper family could not handle. This year we saw many new faces on the Nipper Committee, we had some big shoes to fill, but I can confidently say that our new team did an outstanding job. Nippers would not be successful without the hardworking team behind the scenes, and I am truly grateful.

Bec Jacobsen stepped into the Vice Chairman role as my righthand woman! We also welcome Toni Garske (Sponsorship Coordinator), Alan Carroll (Age Manager Coordinator), Carla Pettitt (Newport SLSC Shop Officer) and Brad Griffith (Youth Development Officer) to our team. Thank you to you all for stepping up into your roles this season. Our team also included previous members: Aaron Morris (Head Coach), Brendan Capell (Gear Steward), Michelle Lye (BBQ Queen), Rod Stevens (Secretary), Jeremy Paul (Competition Development Coordinator) and Nick Rogers (Water Safety Officer). All our members, as mentioned above, provided guidance

and much needed support to our new team members.

The season kicked off with the Surf Rescue Certificate (SRC) camp at the Basin in September. Many people from all aspects of the club played a part in making this weekend a success. A special thanks to Jess Menzies, Guyren Smith and Lauren Budd for running this course and making it an achievable goal to so many children. Thank you also to the Age Managers of this age group that lead them to this stage Phil Pettitt, David Lye, Matt Thomas. Phil introduced a new well-being programme into the SRC camp this year that was received by the kids positively. The highlight of the weekend for many of the kids was being introduced to IRBs, jet skis, boats and First Aid. It was great to have so many areas of the club being included during the weekend. A special thanks to all the rowers that joined the SRC on Sunday morning and to Phoebe Savage who introduced First Aid to the team.

Sunday Morning Nippers started on 13 October. The season was filled with possibly the worst

Aron Brennan & Scarlett Rowland-Smith

(Nipper Captains)

weather we have seen for a few years. If the sun was out, the surf was big, and if the surf was kind, the sun was often hiding as well as rainy and cold. We also had some of the biggest storm cells seen in a long time to hit the coast. The Nippers took this all in their stride, to the point where they helped clean up the beach after the storms while the beach was closed. This also meant that the Water Activity Centre (WAC) only appeared twice over the season. Despite all this, we had more gold and silver medals handed out for attendance than last year, which was great to see. This means our Age Managers are doing a great job and ensuring that there is always something new to learn or something active to do no matter what the weather gods throw at us. To the Age Managers, we all say a massive thank you.

Our Nipper program would not be successful without the Age Managers and the help of the parents. Some age groups have some really active parents and some of which signed up for their bronze this season. Unfortunately, the February course could not be completed because of the COVID19 virus. One can only hope that the participants in this cause have not lost their enthusiasm and continue with the course when it is deemed safe. Saying this, we still had challenges of parents using Nippers as a babysitting tool, and we had to speak to the parents on a number of occasions that Nippers is not a kiss and drop option.

A new addition to the Nipper family was the introduction of Nipper Captains. This was voted by peers in the U14s age group, and it was a way of encouraging the older kids of the Nipper family to take leadership. The captains were involved with Christmas Nippers and handing out awards at the end of the season, as well as being at pizza nights held for comp kids. Being a Nipper Captain also meant that they represented Newport at the JLOTY (Junior Lifesaver of the Year). This is an all-day program held by the Branch. They also led the March Past Team both at Branch and NSW Championships.

Aaron Morris (Head Coach), led our competition team. Our team has gone from a mature, heavily dominated male team from last year to this year being back at the beginning with lots of young ones and heavily dominated by girls. Aaron has had the help of Tayla Tullett, and together they are building a strong team that will have plenty of power in the future seasons. Aaron has encouraged everyone to join no matter what level of experience they bring to the beach. We have seen our board training afternoons exceed 30 kids. This is a remarkable effort. Aaron also offered off-season training that was posted and was going to run through till May. This is the first time our club has provided this. We saw the attendance continue with many children taking to winter board training. Unfortunately, COVID19 stopped this in its

tracks. But we extended board hire for winter to encourage kids to stay active through this strange existence.

Aaron also introduced a weekend away board training camp in conjunction with Port Macquarie. This was a great weekend away. All the kids that attended had a great chance to build new and stronger friendships. Thank you, Aaron, for making this possible.

Nippers were lucky to have a successful branch coming in third overall with some fantastic results from both individual and team events. Backed up by the NSW champs that were all about endurance and not much surf skill as Swansea put on a flatwater carnival. We say goodbye to the U14s who were very fierce in competition this year—many of them medalling at State in both team and individual races. We wish them all the best of luck in their transition into the Academy. It is one of the U14s who took out the Tim Francis Competitor

JAC CHAIRMAN CONTINUED

Under 6s

of the Year award for this season; Conner Maggs was the recipient of this award. Conner took home many medals at the State champs, including the prestigious iron race. Conner also made it into the inter-branch team; he is a truly gifted athlete.

Another honour that is presented at the end of the year is the Nipper Chairman’s Award. We had a few candidates that were deserving of this award, but this year it was given to Scarlett Rowland–Smith. A young lady who grew into her role. She was always willing to help and participate wherever she could. This included her training and coming all the way to State for the March Past team. Thank

you, Scarlett, for being a team player.

After many years Newport re-introduced the March Past team. Thank you to Gary Cook, Therese Brennan and Nick Rogers who all helped to get the team together. Newport took out bronze in this event at the branch championships. We will continue this tradition next season.

Thank you to Bev Barnes and Eric Crooke for all your efforts. Their continued diligence and hard work behind the scenes are gold. I do not know how many people know just how many hours these superstars put into our Nipper family.

Lastly, I would like to take this opportunity to thank

Glen Borg and Jan Proudfoot in answering all my questions. As this has been my first season in this role, I have inundated them with a thousand questions at all times of the day and night. Also, a massive thank you goes toe Bec Jacobsen, her support has been amazing and no job too big for her, along with my own family for their support and encouragement. Between storm cells and COVID19, this season has thrown us a few challenges. I hope next season is a bit friendly towards us and we see all our Nipper family back at the beach for 2020. Our goal is to increase those numbers and see more parent involvement; I genuinely believe this is achievable.

Rebecca Capell

DOLPHINS AND MARLINS The Dolphins and Marlins for 2019-2020 had a wonderful year with safety, fun and inclusion being our core goals.

It was my first year as boss and I must thank Sandy and Doug Menzies for setting up this group.

This year I focused on fun and surf education. However, I particularly focused on the inclusion of the parents and carers as major contributors to our Sunday sessions. This was by far the best thing we have done. We even had the kids running sessions like warm-ups and ball sports.

We had many milestone achievements including: » Danny McGee and his dad winning the high

achievement award for flags and goofing off at the beach. His mum Carol best advice award. Thanks Carol your words of wisdom were very helpful.

» Jacob Rowe surf awareness plus plane and helicopter spotting. His dad Greg gets the most punctual award and good surfing.

» Ryan Murphy best at flags and sprint. He won gold at state for flags and sprint. His dad, Neil won the Rugby skills award. He being an Irish all black helped.

» Maxy Kneebone best at boards and high achiever in flags. His dad gets the award for being there and enjoying the moment.

» Dylan Bracken wins the award for the most enthusiastic and fun time boy. Funny his dad wins the same award. I wonder where Dylan gets it from?

» Advait Herror lover of surf and wearing his dad out in the surf. His dad Nik for his courage in negotiating the surf and our tricky Newport shore dump.

» Matilda Owler, oh my goodness she wins the mermaid award. Her dad Brian the drowned dad award.

» James Fryer, the sure and steady award. His achievements were great, but it was done in his time. His dad Chris the most enthusiastic surfing carer. Come to think of it the most enthusiastic carer!

» Scotty Roberts our youngest Dolphin most improved in water events. In fact, it was his first time in the surf when he joined our group. His dad Charlie was the most engaged carer; he really appreciated what we could offer young Scotty.

» Nick Walker most improved in flags and sprint. Also, best at wave stepping? His carer Carola for being consistent and strong in supporting Nick and the group.

This could not have happened without the support of the Nippers and senior club. It was fun following the obstacle courses that were set up by the age managers.

More important was the work of our volunteer carers. I am so proud of what these beautiful people did with our Dolphins and Marlins.

My “best at” award goes to our group of volunteer carers:

» Steve Crittenden best at putting Max or Jacob on the steepest wipe-outs.

» Georgia Barkley my right hand man. Whoops, woman!

» Cate Archibald mermaid award. I still have your wet suit!

» Jill Mathews best mum award. Obvious. » Greg Mathews best dad award. Obvious. » Kardina our expert in dealing with the kids

and when we needed good advice.Ha! So many awards! Why not? This is one of

the most rewarding things I have done with surf life saving.

Cheers and see you on the beach.Ian Crutch

AGE MANAGERS

UNDER 6sWe had a great season with many Nippers and Age Managers volunteering to help. The Nippers were enthusiastic and excited to discover the fun to be had and some dangers too. The Nippers developed their skills in flags, sprints and relays, with the highlight being catching some waves on the boards.

Thanks to the Age Managers and parents who helped. We had some good weather and look forward to next season.

Deb Beveridge

UNDER 7sGood to see so many Nippers from U6s to U7s and many new faces too.

We talked about the coastline that surrounds us and the tides that carry and leave the sand to make the beaches. We also took notice of waves and currents.

The Nippers learnt about things red and yellow, the flags, the equipment, lifesavers and what they do.

The Nippers developed their skills on the beach with flags, sprints and relays as well as in the water with board riding, wading and dolphin diving.

They approached everything with great enthusiasm and had a lot of fun with many

personal achievements as their skills and confidence grew.

Our future young lifesavers, the U7s is a strong group with lots of parents getting involved.

Thanks to the Age Managers: Braden Carter, Kalvin Stollznow, Scott Hobson, Shane Arnold, and to our Water Safety: Alan Guo & Kim McPherson.

Thanks to Deb Beveridge, Nick and Vogue Hayes and all those that helped with the BBQ.

I am looking forward to next season.Warren Beveridge

AGE MANAGERS CONTINUEDUNDER 8sIt was great to see our numbers increasing with most Sundays having over 35 children participating. The surf and weather conditions were not the greatest throughout the season. We had two terrific Club Championship days with the children doing these events for the first time. We also had a board day at Clareville, which is always well received by the Nippers and all had a wonderful day. During the season we also rode boards at the beach when the conditions were favourable. The Nippers revelled in the conditions from experience built over the last two years of board skill sessions.

I would like to thank Tony Watson and Danae Langley for their help every Sunday morning to make this group so successful and enjoyable. We would also like to thank Bec Capell and the committee for their ongoing support during the season. We thank anyone who provided us with water safety during the year as well.

To our kids, we say thank you for making this season an enjoyable one and persevering with the conditions. To the parents, we thank you for your support and getting involved in your child’s life-saving experience over the season.

UNDER 9sWhat a fantastic season the kids had this year, and I was blown away by how they all progressed. At the beginning of the season most approached the water very tentatively. However, by the end of the season, they were straight in on both boards and swimming. The advances in skills were particularly evident during the Club Champs, where everyone completed a huge swim and then had a crack at the board leg, after competing in the sand events.

I would like to thank Petrina Rowland–Smith and Brett McPherson for stepping up as Age

Managers as I know the kids would not have done as well without their training. My thanks also to the parents who got in with the kids in the water. That allowed us to have pretty much 1 to 1 support, and I believe that gave the kids the confidence to give everything a go and not let nerves get the better of them.

Look after yourselves and see you on the beach next season.

UNDER 10sU10s had another solid year this year, building on their surf skills and gaining confidence in the water.

The extra board training sessions helped the kids who took up that opportunity. Thanks to Aaron Morris, Brendo (Brendan Capell) and others who gave their time so generously.

I was very proud the kids tried their best in all events in the Club Champs. Congrats to the winners. Just as pleasing as the results were the many examples of good sportsmanship shown by the kids this year; it’s wonderful to see them competing hard but valuing the efforts of their competitors.

Well done to the kids who took on the challenge of competition this year; you represented your club well.

A big thanks to Thomas Lucey, Michael Woodrow, Phil Pettitt, Jayson Polger and Shane Cook for all your help this season. You give everything every Sunday morning to help organise and run the kids’ activities, keep them safe, and make it fun.

Finally, thanks again to the U10 parents. You are the best. Whether it’s BBQ duty, swimming out past the break with kids, timing and marshalling for club champs… we don’t even have to ask. You all get stuck in and want to be there for your kids. THANK YOU! See you on the other side.

AGE MANAGERS CONTINUEDUNDER 11s“There is really no such thing as bad weather, only different types of good weather” - John Ruskin.

Our season was a more miss than hit affair weather-wise. The Water Activity Centre (WAC) took a mythical status usually reserved for the Loch Ness Monster. Despite all this, our kids turned up and braved the conditions that would have brought more mature people to a screaming halt. Confidence and skills are building with each passing season, and it was so pleasing to see the kids meeting their potential and ticking off personal milestones. Signals were introduced, along with beach management and awareness. When the weather drove us indoors, we began our resuscitation training (make sure we keep practising our DRSABCD).

Only two more seasons before our Surf Rescue Certificate, the pinnacle of our Nipper journey and

the start of you giving back. I am very proud of this group – as are the other Age Managers.

Big thanks to our BBQ King and Queens and the water safety warriors. To our amazing Age Managers Alan Carroll (Uncle Al), Luci Bentley, Sam Capell and Emma Carroll. They have done a fantastic job this season with their enthusiasm, patience, and creativity.

Due to a hectic carnival schedule, Uncle Al was running it alone much of the time, and for that, we are truly grateful.

I hope everyone has a productive, safe, offseason. Stay physical, swim, paddle, run… it is all good for the mind and the body. Challenge yourself and remain the amazing bunch of pool noodle Jedis you are!

Brendan Capell (Brendo)

UNDER 13sAs with most Newport Nipper years, the weather and conditions were sometimes challenging. However what was great to see was all the U13s, including ones who had only just joined, getting out through the breaks, getting smashed on occasions but still coming back for more. Ultimately this is one of the critical aims of Nippers; to waterproof children, get them to respect but not fear the ocean. Hopefully, this year has put them in good stead for the Surf Rescue Certificate (SRC) next year. There is a good core of children who have been with us pretty much since the beginning. It is so good to see them driving each other to improve. I am looking forward to seeing all of them for the SRC next season.

Rod Stevens

UNDER 12s2019-2020 was another fun season for this amazing group of kids who have formed some strong friendships over their seven years together.Despite several cold and wet mornings, attendance remained high, with many achieving 90-100% attendance over the season. Although we frequently experienced adverse conditions this year, including stormy weather and beach closures, the U12s still had plenty of opportunities to improve their board paddling, swimming, surf survival and rescue skills. They even helped clear the beach of debris after one particularly bad storm!

As always, it is gratifying for the Age Managers to see the children’s ability and confidence continue to grow throughout the season. It was also good to see some mums and dads pulling on their orange rashies to help out with water safety, which is essential when we venture further offshore. If any other parents would like to help, we encourage you to get your Bronze Medallion or sign up to be an Age Manager. Your involvement also gives the Nippers more confidence when they see their parents in the water with them.

Overall, this was another excellent year, and we look forward to seeing the kids again next season!

UNDER 14sThe group began with the Basin Camp on September 14-15 in fantastic, mild, sunny weather. A big thank you to parents, trainers, assistants, rowers and volunteers from the club who gave lots of time to make the weekend a success.

This year the Age Managers incorporated a mindfulness activity delivered by the Western Sydney University with funding from the local council. Our Club President, Glen Borg, gave a great introduction to this session on how our mental health is the same as our physical health, and sometimes we need help. Glen stressed how important it is to train and exercise our minds as well as our bodies.

And of course, we enjoyed BBQs, bush walks, campfires and board paddles, jumping in IRBs and the jet ski sled rides added more excitement. We also rejigged the schedule for a Sunday morning visit from the boat crews.

The course ran well with most trainees passing their tests at Mona Vale in early December. Others who missed out due to travel and health were set to join exams until they were cancelled due to COVID-19.

Water safety for the younger Nippers groups and patrols are now the focus of the group. We wish all the group well with their life-saving adventures and hope to see you down at the beach.

JUNIOR ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE (JAC) COMPETITION DIRECTORSeason 2019-20 started early, with a June weekend camp away to Tacking Point SLSC (Port Macquarie) for those keen to keep themselves active and in the water. With the current travel restrictions, we are uncertain whether we can organise another pre-season trip away for this coming season. However, we hope this wasn’t the last one! The kids had a great time, even if it was colder than when they usually compete. Thanks to our friends at Tacking Point for their hospitality, and the parents for the additional commitment this weekend required.

Pre-season board training, as usual, started on the flat water, which is essential to develop endurance and technique for the season to come. While the water is still warming up and wetsuits may be required, it gives the Nippers a big head start for when they hit the surf. Having the paddle

fitness enables them to concentrate on the surf conditions, rather than having to worry about their paddling capability. Look out for posts regarding training on Team App so you can get your kids in the water early. Pre-season training is especially necessary for the under 8s, who are moving to the under 9s age group this year and can start competing in the water.

Thanks to Aaron Morris (Head Coach) and Tayla Tullett (Assistant Coach), we had a record number of water training sessions available to all kids, i.e. those who regularly compete as well as the Nipper kids just there for some extra practice (who we’d love to get competing). We even had sessions lined up to the end of May this season before the Coronavirus put a stop to that. While it can be daunting when first starting, the coaches are fantastic at recognising this and setting appropriate

challenges for all levels of ability – so we would encourage all those interested to come along.

We had some beach and running training sessions at varying stages across the year, starting with coach Heather Hozack, and later with Lyndal Flynn volunteering their time. Thank you for your assistance. If there are parents with kids involved who want to drive this area of the program, we would love to hear from you.

The club also put together a March Past team, the first for many years, with Therese Brennan managing the team and coaching by Gary Cook. The club’s Nipper captains took a leading role in this program, and we look forward to that continuing with the new captains next season. While only coming together late in the season, the team managed to win a bronze at the SNB Branch carnival and competed at the NSW Championships, representing Newport with pride.

SNB Branch changed the structure of the Nipper Competition Carnivals for this season, creating a structure of a carnival every fortnight, and alternating between beach carnivals, water carnivals and a few combined carnivals thrown into the mix as well. There was also a month’s break over the Christmas period. As a result Newport hosted the Junior Interbranch trial event this year, rather than the normal carnival open to all Nippers.

We had 51 Nippers participate in carnivals this season, down a little from the previous season. While carnival results are always fantastic to achieve, as long as each child can perform their individual best and improve across the season, then it should be classified as a success for them and the club. One of my favourite memories from the season was sitting in the water with a Nipper at the Club Champs, trying to encourage them to participate in their board race. While they couldn’t achieve that on the day, a month or two later they were one of the regulars at training and participating in carnivals.With the State Championships being the pinnacle of the season, it deserves a little extra attention. After a send-off address from James Brooks and the Newport

Open competition athletes and the uniform presentation (all organised by Hilary Maggs), our kids represented the club with pride over three days of the championships.

Newport had some great results this year, finishing 10th overall. While not the highs of previous seasons, with a team of 40 Nippers (out of 2,700 competitors) it is still an outstanding result for the club. We were the second-highest placed Northern Beaches Club, with North Curl Curl (94 competitors) deservedly taking out the title. Overall Newport had 13 medallists (33% of the team), with seven individual medals, and medals in six team events. Some of the outstanding athletes were Conner Maggs (5 medals), Noah Maggs (4 medals), Lex Raffles, Josh Kerr (3 medals), and Sadie Maggs (2 medals). Also, many athletes in the team made finals in their events, and many were

JUNIOR ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE (JAC) COMPETITION DIRECTOR (CONTINUED)

able to finish in the top 6 to earn points for the club. Many set, and achieved their goals for the weekend, which is always pleasing to see.

There are always challenges at carnivals, be it the surf conditions, the weather or even the organisation of the event. One of the great things about surf competition is how the kids and parents deal with these complications or setbacks, and again this season the kids and parents made me proud that they are members of our club.

Many parents assisted across the year, through being an Official, Water Safety, or just general assistance with logistics. The kids could not compete without this support, so thank you. If your kids are participating, and you are not yet Bronze Medallion or official qualified, I’d encourage you to enrol for one of the courses next season. The kids love seeing parents involved as

part of training or carnivals, and it will give you an appreciation for what the kids can achieve. Particular thanks go to those parents who volunteered time and time again to be there for the kids and the club, which made my job easier.

Thanks to the Newport Kinghorn Surf Racing Academy for their support with coaching resources throughout the year.

Congratulations to all Nippers who participated in training or competition this year - whether you were able to win a medal, participated in your first carnival, or just set a goal to become better in the surf and achieved it. I am amazed by your ability, bravery, and resilience. We hope you enjoyed yourselves and that you are looking forward to next season!

COMPETITION ORGANISERWhat a year we had in surf sports and life in general with COVID-19 putting brakes on almost everything. Our season came to a premature end just after Newport won their seventh straight point score title at the NSW state championships, but more on this later.

The season started with the water team heading to Coolum to qualify for the Nutri Grain Ironman series, where Max Brooks and our newest member Lizzie Welborn, had already qualified. After two big days of back to back racing we ended up with Jackson Borg qualifying. So after winning the NSW Ironman last season, as well as state Athlete of the Year, this ended up as a reward for his

dedication. As we approached the first race of the year we had Charlie Brooks join the series after another athlete pulled out. During the season, three of our outstanding u19s got their chance to race in a couple of the rounds. Finn Askew in round 1 and Zac Morris and Emily Doyle in the final round. Newport was one of the most represented clubs in the series and it lays testament to the work ethic and the way the Open Ironpersons all train together and encourage each other along the way. Lizzie had a stellar series and consistent results led to her finishing third overall. Max ended up ninth, Jackson 11th, Charlie 20th.

In October the Australian team went to Durban in South

Africa to compete in the International Surf Challenge. In the squad of fourteen, we had Max Brooks, Lizzie Welborn, Blake Drysdale and Zac Morris. They had some outstanding results which helped the team win the challenge for the eighth year in a row.

There was no rest for our competitors as they were again off to race in the Coolangatta Gold. As most Australians know, this is a challenging endurance course. Zac Morris won the Open Men’s short coarse race. In the Youth Challenge we had Bailey Clues first and Lee Melbourne second. Then we moved into the long course on Sunday, which was also round one of the Nutri-Grain series.

Max came 9th, Jackson 17th and Lizzie 14th. We also had Phoebe Savage do the long coarse and finished 24th. The Masters also had a go, with Glen Borg 9th in 50+ category and Guyren Smith 5th in 35-49 category. Well done to all as it is a tough event.

In November, Branch announced the team to compete in the Inter-Branch Championships in Bulli. Of the 40 members, Newport were well represented by making up over 40% of the team. Maddie Spencer and Blake Drysdale were the captains and it was fantastic to see so many Newport families in the team with the three Morris boys, the Doyle girls and the Maggs boys. They represented themselves and club to the highest level in competition and as team members. The team won a close race with Sydney Branch to take out the title and it came down to the final event with Jayke Rees, Zac Morris, Isaac Smith taking out the Open Taplin.

January is a big month in the SLSA calendar as it hosts the Interstate Championships where once

again Newport was well represented. Our very own Mitchell Trim was named captain of the team that won the event and there were some outstanding results. A few highlights were Zac Morris winning the Youth Ironman, Emily Doyle securing a third and Max Brooks dominated the Open Ironman and came away with the win.

The Youth Pathway Cup (YPC) Interstate Championships were held in conjunction with the Interstate Championships. This is for under 14-15 competitors. Conner Maggs was selected in the under 14s and won his Ironman event and came second in the Board. In the under 15s we had Kimberly Doyle, Jake Morris, Mitch Morris as well as Bailey Clues. The boys had some outstanding results. They finished in the first three in every water event, including Jake winning the Ironman, and they were all a part of the winning team.

The Interbranch Boat Championships were conducted at Queenscliff. Our under 23 Women ‘Thunder’ and Reserve Men ‘Shellfish’ were selected to represent SNB in the Interbranch

Surfboat Championships at Queenscliff. Strong racing from both crews helped SNB win the title back to back. The under 23 Women were also selected to represent NSW.

February brings on our SNB Branch Championships and unfortunately these were postponed due to dangerous surf and were cancelled. But the team then leapt into the state championships where Newport was dominant in winning the overall title for the seventh time in a row. This is something that no other club has been able to achieve so we should be very proud of our competitors as the results came from every area.

In the boat area the Reserve Men ‘Shellfish’ won our first men’s state gold for fifteen years, the under 23 Women ‘Thunder’ won their third bronze medal in three years and the Open Men ‘Hellfish’ finished fourth by a whisker.

Our lifesaving programme brought in two gold medals with the u17s winning the Patrol Competition (James Simmonds, Sam Capell, Travis Cox and Kai Raffles) also the gold in the u19s First Aid (Linda Leck and Lily Tancred). In total the team picked up two gold, six silver and two bronze and these points started our state

campaign off with a bang as these events are on the weekend prior.

Over the three days of water events we had so many outstanding achievements in the 30 gold, 23 silver and 13 bronze medals. Still, my highlight was the u15s boys where we dominated with Newport finishing 1-4 in every water event and then the boys (Mitch, Jake, Bailey and Lee) went on to win the Board Relay, Swim Teams, Cameron Relay and then went to the beach area and finished 2nd in the Beach Relay. Kimberly Doyle won the u15 Swim, Board and Ironperson and then we had her sister dominate the u19 and Open Women’s Ironperson taking home the double. Max Brooks backed up from where he finished last season as the Australian Ironman Champion taking out the state title from the defending champion Jackson Borg who chased him all the way and finished second.

This brings me to the final two events, and in surf lifesaving, the Open Male and Open Female Taplin events are the club’s pinnacle events and it brings clubs together. It is the one event they all want to win, and Newport triumphed in both. Our club has many individual champions, but I also witnessed how everyone got in and did

Emily Doyle


team events, from helping on the line in the belts to doing long distance beach running to help a teammate. This is one of the reasons why Newport is so successful — it is a team first. Another reason is our incredible coaching staff. Thank you to Trent Herring, Luke Morrison, James Brooks and Nick Carroll. Trent especially went to the next level in the 2019-20 season. He travelled to every major carnival and series event and put all his energy into coaching the whole water squad. Our State result had a lot to do with his work behind the scenes.

Unfortunately, then, as we know, COVID-19 stopped everything and the Aussies were cancelled.

I know the team were looking forward to this and we now need to concentrate on next season as it will be here before we know it.

I would like to thank all our officials and IRB support crews. The team cannot compete without you! Also, thanks to the parents who help get the gear and competitors to carnivals as well as all the setting up and packing down. The team very much appreciates it. Finally, a big thanks from myself as it has been my first season as the competition manager. I have enjoyed every minute and I hope the club wants me to do it again next season.

WHAT IS THE BERNIE?In 2019, we started a new tradition at our Annual Awards celebration. Our major award winners all took home a “Bernie”. The Bernie is a sculpture by local artist, Victoria Norman. Victoria used the lifesavers’ motto “Vigilance & Service” as inspiration during the creation. The sculpture has been given the nick name “Bernie” in honour of our Life Member and legend Bernie Howard who retired from patrolling in 2019 after 25 years!

HANS TRUMM OAM AWARD FOR PATROLLING EXCELLENCE

Scott: � Has been at the helm of Patrol 6 for 2 years and since taking over, the Patrol has flourished. Patrol 6 regularly obtains top marks for Patrol Audits and this is a direct result of Scott’s and Gary’s (current VC) excellent Patrol management.

� Rudi Valla: “I was fortunate enough to have Scott as my Vice Captain for 4 years before handing over the Patrol Captaincy for Patrol 6 - during those 4 years Scott was instrumental in driving our Patrol operations, was a constant source of support for me and the wider Patrol and encouraged all Patrol Members to keep themselves abreast of the latest training and SLS techniques and as Vice Captain he was primarily was responsible for the Patrol winning the inaugural Best Patrol competition”.

� Earlier this year and whist off duty playing a round of golf Scott successfully resuscitated and kept alive a stranger who had suffered a major heart attack. Had it not been for Scott’s swift and decisive action this family man would have most certainly died. Being the humble hero that he is, Scott made no fanfare about this amazing rescue and most of us only found out about this rescue by chance via a LinkedIn interview which Guy Leech did with Scott to raise awareness of the importance of Resus training and knowledge.

100 YEARS OF SLSA MARCH PAST

It is widely thought that the SLSA March Past event evolved from servicemen in surf clubs returning from World War 1 being used to marching behind their regimental and battalion flags. It has been voted one of the most successful and popular publicly watched events in the history of Surf Life Saving competition.

The first SLSA Australian Championships were held at North Steyne near Manly Beach in Sydney in the 1919-1920 season. There were introductory competition events including surf boat teams, surf teams, beach sprinting and of course a March Past Grand Parade.

At this event there were 10 March Past teams comprising of 20-man teams made up of two lines and a surf reel their competition gear, each team in the colours of their respective clubs. The results of that first competition was Cooks Hill 1st from the Hunter Branch NSW, Cronulla 2nd from the Sydney Branch NSW and North Steyne 3rd from the Sydney Northern Beaches Branch NSW.

March past competition has continued for 100 years reaching this milestone in the 2019-

2020 season, changing little except for the team formation in the 1927-1928 season with 3 backlines and down from 20 members to 12 with 1 backline in 1952. The inclusion of female members started in the early 1980s plus the introduction of under 23s and under 17s in 2007 which were then combined with Under 23s in 2019.

Even today March Past maintains the growth of club spirit, mateship, the carrying of the flag, the club colours consolidating the trademark of Surf Life Saving in Australia and around the world.

March past competition provides a platform for discipline and club spirit throughout surf clubs in Australia, consolidating its long and successful history and future.

It was wonderful to see a full Newport SLSC Nipper March Past team make a return to the arena this season. They competed regularly at carnivals and championships and even won a bronze medal at the SNB Championships.

100 YEARS OF SURF BOATSAussies this year was to have celebrated one hundred years of surfboats. As with many things, Newport was well ahead of the curve.

The concept of small boats rowing through the surf was not new, fishermen had been doing it all over the world for millennia. Local fishermen at Manly, the Sly brothers were contracted by council at the turn of the 20th century to assist the growing number of reckless swimmers getting themselves in trouble. As surf lifesaving clubs started in that first decade, they looked to boats as their main piece of lifesaving equipment. The first boat race was held at Manly carnival in January 1908, won by Little Coogee (Clovelly).

Newport found its first boat, a ship’s lifeboat washed up on Bilgola around 1911. After a dramatic rescue using a small boat at Dee Why

in early 1914, witnessed by two Warringah Shire councillors, the council bought each of the five clubs then in the shire a brand new boat. For the grand total of $270 Freshwater, Dee Why, Collaroy, North Narrabeen and Newport each launched their new pride and joy.

There had been a championship held in 1915, but the first major event after the Great War was the championships at Manly in March 1920. As with this year’s only championship, it was held during a pandemic, the Spanish flu and was an all NSW affair. I believe, therefore, it only fair that with such an historic echo that all of our NSW champions are celebrated as Aussie champs. Well done, everyone.
