MULLALOO SLSC 2012/13 ANNUAL REPORT 1

This is the Club’s most prestigious

award and this season is awarded to

Sandy Clarke.

Once again Sandy has been an

outstanding Club member. She has

been involved in nearly every facet

of Club activity and has been an

outstanding contributor for the season.

Sandy was the General Manager of Surf

Sports, but also took on the activities

of Competition and Coaching which

required signifi cant eff ort to coordinate

and manage these activities. The Club

has been highly successful in both of

these areas due to fantastic programs

which she has set up.

Sandy was also involved as an Offi cial

for junior and senior carnivals and was

off ered the area referee position at the

Junior State Championships.

Sandy is a rower in the Mullaloo Marlins

surf boat crew, who were a competitive

Open and Masters womens

team, coming fourth at the State

Championships and winning Gold at

the Australian Masters Championship.

Sandy is also a Bronze Medallion trainer

and was involved in 2 Bronze training

groups helping to put new lifesavers

on our beach.

In her spare time, Sandy completed her

Patrols, was involved in Youth activities

including several camps and worked

behind the bar.

Sandy was responsible for publishing

the Club’s newsletter and has for the

last 3 years produced the Annual

Report. These high quality documents

are regarded highly within the Surf Life

Saving community.

As you can see, Sandy is a worthy

recipient of the Club Person of the Year

award.

This year’s President’s award is

presented to Kim Allen.

Kim was involved in the rescue of

Martin Kane after Martin’s surf ski was

attacked by a shark. Following the

attack, Kim became concerned about

his and others safety, he felt that there

needed to be a better way to identify

any threats in the water and protect

our members and the community in

the water.

He then spent a signifi cant amount of

time over the next 6 months identifying

relevant shark research and technology

which could be used to help protect

beach users. He has lobbied State

and Local government to help fund

projects to utilise the technology

he has identifi ed. He is currently

working with Curtin University on

one of the technologies thanks to a

State government grant. Kim is also

working with the Club to identify other

technologies which could be used on

our beach.

Kim has also been a part of our Strategic

Committee, identifying potential

opportunities for the club, helping to

sustain its current operations and help

the club continue to grow in the future.

It has been a pleasure working with

Kim this year. His enthusiasm and

dedication to the Club’s needs has

been outstanding.

CLUB OFFICERSFor the 2012/13 Season


It’s been another great year for our Club. We have had many

highlights and many challenges, and once again the eff orts

of our Club members have been exceptional.

This year, we implemented our new management structure

after the new Constitution was approved at the Special

General Meeting. We changed the operational Directors

roles to Managers, to enable them to be focussed on all of

the day-to-day issues rather than spreading their time over

many diff erent areas. I believe that they were able to do

a better job as a result and we were able to deliver better

services to our Members and the Community. Thank you

to all of the Managers who did an absolutely fantastic job

this year.

We appointed four General Managers this year who would

be involved in high level decision making and planning for

their respective areas. These roles are still developing and

with our Strategic Plan to be released shortly, I know that

they will be busy next year delivering our future plans. Thank

you to our General Managers.

This year we voted six new Board members to our new

Board structure. The new Board was tasked with planning

for the future of the Club and governing the operations of all

areas. We will shortly be releasing the Club’s strategic plan,

and this will guide the growth and future of the club. The

Board has also introduced a Governance Committee who

will be responsible for ensuring our processes and risks are

manageable for the Club and our continued success. There

is also a Strategic Committee who is looking to capitalise

on future opportunities for the club. All of this will help to

achieve the future goals of the Club for our Members and

our Community. Our Board members are voted for two year

terms with half of the Board up for re-election each year at

the Annual General Meeting. I hope that many of you will be

there to vote and support the people who you believe will

direct the future of this Club.

The year started with a critical situation on 20 June 2012

when Martin Kane and a number of mates were paddling

their skis. Martin’s ski was attacked by a large shark which

we believe was a Great White and destroying his ski. Dale

Gration paddled his ski over and picked up Martin. Flanked

by Kim Allen, Jordan Puchar and Richard Orme, they

brought him back to the safety of the beach. It was a very

brave act which resulted in Dale being awarded the Order

of Merit – Silver Medallion and Jordan, Kim and Richard

awarded the Order of Merit – Bronze Medallion. With the

threat of sharks on a number of occasions and at many

events, it challenged the nerve of many of our members.

PRESIDENT’S REPORTCarlo Tenaglia | Mullaloo SLSC President


President’s Report | Continued

As we would expect, the response has been exceptional at

all times. Our members have managed the situations with a

number of mitigation strategies that enabled us to maintain

near normal operations for the whole season.

Our Support Services area did a great job looking after our

Member registrations, provide Club gear, provide offi ce

services and fi nances and take care of our Facilities. Our

lounge and bar facilities provided a great venue for our

members to relax and to have our club functions. It takes

many volunteers to provide these services and we thank

everyone who has helped us.

In our Operations area, our Lifesaving Team performed

absolutely superbly. With over 11,000 hours of Patrols, Water

Safety and our new format Abalone Patrol, we looked after

our Community, making sure that they could enjoy the

beach safely. We are now also looking at issues around

Coastal Risk Management for a sustainable future and our

role in supporting the various Emergency Services that

support our community. Thank you to all of our patrolling

members and award holders who provided a great service

to our community.

The Development area once again provided Education

services to our members to make sure that we continue

to develop new patrolling members and keep our awards

up to date. The Youth Development group provided a

number of events for our 14–25 year olds and our Junior

Development group provided services to the largest group

of young members. Our Juniors once again had a fantastic

year winning the State Championships for the second year

in a row. To the many wonderful volunteers who make these

areas so successful, thank you for your hard work.

Finally, to the Surf Sports area. Our coaching services

continue to provide the skills for the outstanding results

we are getting across the Club. The Senior Championships

produced some outstanding results including winning the

Open Lifesaver Relay and the Open Men’s Surf Boats. At the

Australian championships we made 13 Finals including 3

in the Open’s which shows incredible improvement for our

Competitors.

Once again the City of Joondalup (CoJ) has been a major

contributor to the Club with their donation of $40,000. This

money helps us to fund the purchase of new equipment

and the running of the club. Each year the CoJ continues

to be our major partner in providing us with infrastructure

and opportunities. The Club this year worked closely with

the CoJ in the Abalone Patrols. We worked together on a

number of functions including the Urban Couture fashion

parade and the re-opening of the Tom Simpson Park.

We have great support from mayor Troy Pickard and his

Executive team and we look forward to another great year

working in partnership.

The State Government, through Surf Life Saving Western

Australia (SLSWA), continues to provide great support for

our Club with the provision of our new ATV, aff ectionately

known as the “bumblebee”. They have also committed to

the provision of a Jet Ski, to be located at Mullaloo, once we

have qualifi ed drivers within the club. Our local member for

Ocean Reef, Albert Jacob continues to be a great backer

of the club and a patrolling member. We also thank our

Federal Member for Moore, Dr Mal Washer who has been

an outstanding supporter of this club for a number of years.

Dr Washer will be retiring from Federal parliament this year

and we wish him all the best in the future and we would

welcome him any time at the Club.

SLSWA have also provided exceptional support for the Club

this year as we continue to grow. They provided us with

funding in excess of $9,000 to help with administration.

Through their sponsorship arrangements, they also

provided us with a new defi brillator which will be deployed

next season. The Club now also has many of its members

on SLSWA advisory committees and we look forward to

continuing to be involved in the ongoing development of

the surf lifesaving in Western Australia.

Overall, for my fi rst year as President, I am extremely pleased

with the outcomes the Club has achieved this year. I know

that with our new Management and Board structure we will

continue to develop this great Club into a sustainable and

growing organisation to further support our Members and

community. Our theme of “One Club” continues to bring

club activities together. We also introduced a new Club

theme of “Opportunities for Life” and we will continue to

work towards this for our Members.

I would like to thank everyone who has off ered their time for

the Club and thank you to everyone who has supported me

throughout the year.

See you on the Beach.


Under the new Constitution implemented this year,

the Board structure was changed to fi ve non-executive

members and the President. At the AGM, the six new

Board members were elected to take on new roles for the

club. The new Constitution states Board members are elected

for a two year term, with 50% of the Board being off set by

one year to minimise the impact of signifi cant changes

each year. So this year only three of our Board members will

have a two year term. The current Board elected has a

mixture of old and new members, bringing with them, a

variety of skill sets.

The Board is chaired by the President and this year our non-

executive Board members include Steve Dargie and Mark

Hills, both former Presidents and current Life Members. They

bring a wealth of experience at a Club and Surf Life Saving

level. Ed Neilan, a Life Member has a wealth of Business

experience at an operational and Strategic Level. Rick Corkill

is a long term member, current Patrol Captain and works in the

Emergency Services fi eld. He is also current Board member

of Swimming WA. Vicki Rasmussen is a Junior parent and is

extensively involved in fundraising activities. She is also State

president of the Fundraising Institute Australia. Together, this

mix of skills and experience has been able to work together

to plan the future for this Club.

The Board had a busy season and met on more than

14 occasions since July 2012. The Board would meet formally

in Monthly Board meetings and informally for strategic

planning sessions.

With the new Management structure, which was

implemented to focus on operational activities, the Board

focussed on introducing a number of governance processes,

including the establishment of the Governance and Risk

Committee to oversee the management of Club processes

and the risk exposure for the Club and its members. The

Governance Committee recently proposed a new Risk

Management framework which the Board has approved

for use. This will be used by our Management Team to help

manage future risks for our Club.

The Board spent a signifi cant amount of time this year

developing the Strategic Plan for the Club. This plan will assist

in guiding the Club with its future direction. The Club started

this journey a number of years back to look at its future growth

and sustainability and this year the Board was responsible

for putting it into a plan. With input from Club members,

the Management team and major stakeholders, the future

outcomes for the Club have been developed into a Strategic

Plan. Our future operational plans will be based on achieving

these outcomes and the Strategic Committee will use it to

identify potential opportunities for the Club. The Strategic

Plan will be released at the Club’s Annual General Meeting.

The Board has also been involved in reviewing budgets,

and now has a capital expenditure process to make sure

that spending on equipment will be aligned to our future

plans. This process and the development of an Equipment

Replacement program will help us to better plan for our

future expenditure and initiatives.

The Board is now reviewing its Lease arrangements with

the City of Joondalup (CoJ). The new lease will provide the

Club with a long term tenancy of the Building which will

allow us to provide more services to our members and

the community in the future. The Board and the Club have

a very good working relationship with the CoJ and as key

stakeholders it is also important that we are aligned to their

future plans. There are many key opportunities for the Club

and the CoJ in the future and they are a major supporter of

our initiatives.

The Board will now start to focus on future initiatives for

the Club and you will start to see changes occurring in the

near future.

It was a pleasure being involved in implementing

the new management structure at Mullaloo this

season. The role of General Manager of Operations

was to ensure that life saving services continued

without a hitch. This portfolio was to also support

two new portfolios, emergency services and coastal

environmental management. With no surprises,

Kathryn Murray did an absolutely superb job on

managing the life saving services and we continually

presented a very professional image on the beach.

We managed to ensnare the services of Mark

Donnelly as the manager of emergency services. A

developing portfolio which really suited Mark as he

works as a police offi cer with the water police and

therefore fully understands the roles we need to play

in becoming part of the team of the future with FESA.

I have always been one to encourage youth into

management roles within our club. We were very

fortunate to have Lisa West, a new marine and

environmental scientist to take on the role of

coastal environmental management with a little bit

of support from Shannon Carter, an experienced

consultant in the fi eld. All managers embraced their

roles and did a fantastic job.

Due to personal reasons I have withdrawn from the

position but am still keen to support the club and

these positions and the new General Manager of

Operations in any way I can.

Bells, Billabong, Bondi, Kirra, Malibu, McCarthy, Nirvana,

Queenscliff e, Redgate, Stickland, Torquay, Uluwatu, Wiamea

and Pipeline (the patrol that saves the nation) patrols

collectively provided 511 highly skilled and profi cient

lifesavers, spent 11,149.25 hours patrolling some 4.5 km of

surf and sand over the 2012/13 season. It was because of

our active, highly trained and profi cient patrol members that

603 preventative actions were administered, 358 patients

were treated with lifesaving fi rst aid and 52 people were

rescued from the surf.

This season has seen our lifesavers go from strength to

strength. Together we:

• evened out the number of and qualifi cations of our

lifesavers in each patrol;

• identifi ed aspiring leaders and provided a transition

period between patrol captains;

• collaborated with the City of Joondalup over the abalone

fi shing season and contractual agreement;

• provided local schools with professional lifesaving

services; and

• maintained our safety standards.

Along with all our patrol captains, I would like give a special

thanks to Steve Dargie, Ian Allen and Leanne Kelleher who

are stepping down after several years in the role. Rachael

Crabb, Brenton Tenaglia and Steve Mignon (welcome

back) are three of the successors.

ABALONE PATROL

Our Club once again went above and beyond our contractual

agreement with the City of Joondalup (CoJ) to further

prevent abalone fi shing people from getting into dangerous

situations and rescue those in danger of drowning. For the

fi rst time, our Club provided ongoing consultation with the

CoJ; a risk assessment was introduced and implemented

prior to the commencement of each fi shing period; beach

and water patrols strategically positioned at each of the

populated coves; and a debriefi ng session over coff ee held

at the conclusion of each patrol. The team was enthusiastic,

highly qualifi ed, both in skill and application, and carried

out innovative communication techniques. The abalone

patrol, which was the fi rst Sunday of each month from

November to March resulted in 5 rescues, 10 fi rst aids and

71 preventative actions.

ABOVE AND BEYOND…

Trevor Bulley is an example of a dedicated, committed

lifesaver. Following a hard ski training session, Trevor was

approached by two concerned members from the public

who had sighted a kitesurfer in trouble. Trevor switched

into his lifesaving mode…he viewed the environment by

observing the wind and sea conditions, then using a rescue

board paddled out and pulled the tired and distressed kite

surfer and his equipment back to shore. Twenty members

from the public had gathered and applauded in admiration

as Trevor and the kite surfer safely exited the water; they had

just witnessed a real rescue by our lifesaver, Trevor.

MOVING FORWARD

The coming season will be steered by Andrew Manning

as he takes the Manager of Lifesaving role. Andrew will

continue to grow and develop our patrols, with particular

focus on:

• Inclusion and embracement of our new patrolling

members

• Empowering people to learn – skills relevant for life

• Recognising that youth have something to off er –

increase leadership roles and direction

Above all, swim between the red and yellow fl ags, be

Sunsmart and if in doubt ask a lifesaver.

LETTERS OF SUPPORT

“I would like to convey my sincere thanks to your team

including Kathryn, Sandy and her support team on the day of

the Joondalup Autumn Classic 2013. We were blessed with

a perfect day for our event, which was made all the better

through the fantastic assistance and support provided by the

MSLSC team.

I found the team to be timely, professional and proactive in

supporting our event.

Their eff orts on the day was superb and exceeded our

expectations, in particular, their diligence during water

support and ensuring swim buoys were placed correctly and

collected directly after.

It felt like we had worked with the team before and this is

obviously a refl ection of the culture of the club and the team

spirit within.”

Geoff Large, President, Team XTR Tri Club, 9 April 2013

“I wish to thank the Mullaloo Surf Club members who

attended to my wife who had fallen off her bicycle on the

coastal track. They were the fi rst to arrive to give medical

treatment which they did in a highly professional manner.

They assisted the ambulance crew in getting her onto the

gurnie trolley and down to the carpark. My wife suff ered a

fractured shoulder, wrist and hip in the accident, more relevant

to a motor crash, although she was not moving fast. Your club

is to be commended for covering such a wide area of patrol,

and the quickness of your attendance.”

EMERGENCY SERVICES

Mark Donnelly | Manager Emergency Services

I was asked to look at assessing the response capabilities

and formulate a strategy for Mullaloo SLSC to respond to

and assist in any Search and Rescue (SAR) incident or other

emergencies if required. In developing the strategy it is fi rst

necessary to understand what role Mullaloo SLSC would

play. On-going discussions with Emergency Services groups

would be required before that role can be determined.

Mullaloo SLSC have a large pool of very highly skilled

personnel and equipment and are trained to deal with a

large variety of situations including:

• First aid

• Water recovery techniques

• Crowd control

• Team work

• Local knowledge

• Equipment: 4x4, IRB’s, First aid room/equipment, Premises,

Communications

These capabilities make them a highly prized asset to the

emergency services to be utilised when required.

I have had a number of discussions with Police and FESA and

these have been centred around how Mullaloo SLSC can be

of assistance to the Hazard Management Authorities’ and

SLSWA in times of emergency. Several topics were discussed

including:

• Mullaloo SLSC’s role in an emergency

• What is expected of Mullaloo SLSC

• Types of emergencies that Mullaloo SLSC would assist in

• Mullaloo SLSC involvement with Local Emergency

Management Committee (LEMAC)

• Interclub agreements between Sorrento/Mullaloo/

Quinns-Mindarie.

There is still a signifi cant amount of work to go before we

have a fi nal position and we will develop that over the

coming season.

Abalone Patrol.


COASTAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND ENVIRONMENT

The inclusion of a coastal risk management sector in

Mullaloo SLSC marks a major step forward for the club.

In today’s environmentally conscious society, the need

for organisations to display environmental concern and

stewardship is of growing importance. This is particularly

important for surf clubs which operate in the fragile

coast environment and are highly visible to the public.

The establishment of a coastal risk management sector

demonstrates to the public that Mullaloo SLSC recognises

the past, present and future impacts it has on the coast and

is attempting to address these issues.

After discussion with general managers, it was decided a full

coastal assessment would be required ranging from North

Mullaloo to Pinnaroo Point in the south. Habitats present in

the marine and coastal environment will be mapped using

aerial photographs. Current club activities and developments

can then be assessed for their impact on the habitats

identifi ed. Strategies to minimise such impacts may involve

appropriate zoning, changes to equipment or procedures.

In particular this assessment will be able to address the local

councils concern that sea anchors may be occurring on

fragile seagrass meadows. Whilst the development of such

a survey is a long term project, preliminary research and

planning are well underway.

Future developments at the club will now undergo coastal

risk assessment to reduce future coastal and environmental

issues. Any development operating within the coastal dune

system presents serious risks to natural beach dynamics

and morphology. Without proper planning, developments

can result in unwanted erosion and accretion of beach

sand. This is not only an environmental concern but results

in considerable ongoing management costs. An analysis

of beach dynamics will allow careful planning of building

design and location to minimise such deleterious impact.

With the establishment of the coastal risk sector just

beginning this season there is still plenty to be done. Surveys

and assessments represent a long term project which is

likely to be completed over a few seasons. However, the

development of the sector displays a positive direction for

the clubs future and public image.

THANK YOU

Barbara Carter and Carlo Tenaglia for establishing and supporting this important new sector within the club

General Managers for welcoming and guiding me in this new role

This season has been an interesting and in some

cases a challenging one, with the management and

operational changes, but by seasons end, it has been

very successful in all areas.

Education has had a challenging year but has

been very well managed by Lucy Cleary and the

Education Committee, Assessors and Trainers. They

have had many issues to deal with including the

changing of water safety standards and changes to

course qualifi cations.

Bret Madden and his Junior Committee, Age Group

Managers, Assistants and Coaches have again

done an amazing job as the amount of Education

Certifi cates issued and the Junior State Titles results

testify. Bret has fi nished his stint as Manager of

Juniors and I would like to thank him and Lucy

Cleary for continuing in these management roles in

this transition season.

The Youth portfolio started the season off without

a Manager until the tireless and ever reliable Gayle

Gould stepped up into the position. She formed a

Youth Committee with some of the existing and new

members. They have had a great year with some well

supported events and have done some good work in

getting the various groups in the youth age groups

to mix and support each other whatever may lay

ahead, thanks Gayle.

After achieving the success of their

SRC many of our young members

undertake the BM once they are 15

years of age. There are also a signifi cant

number of adult members who either

move onto the BM or undertake this

as a fi rst award. Numerous hours

are spent in the clubhouse and at

home completing all the theory and

paperwork and every Saturday and

Sunday morning the members are

at the beach, usually over an 8 to 10

week period putting into practise the

skills needed to obtain the BM.

During the year the dedicated team of

trainers, trainee trainers and assessors

worked continuously to ensure as

many courses as possible could be

run. Whilst we have had new trainers

coming through, the club needs many

more trainers and assessors to fully

support the needs of the members.

A big thank you to all the trainers,

assessors and trainee trainers detailed

earlier in this report. A lot of work is

put in behind the scene to ensure all

the material, equipment and paper

work is available and appropriately

completed. This is all organised by the

Training Panel consisting of Barbara

Carter, Tony Greenfi eld, Vivienne

Greenfi eld, Steve Dargie and Helen

O’Brien under the guidance and

leadership of Lucy Cleary.



JUNIOR DEVELOPMENT

Bret Madden | Manager Junior Development

What a season this was! We managed to jam pack a fantastic

array of exciting activities to occupy the minds and bodies of

our 567 registered juniors.

Season 2012/13 started with a camp for our Under 14’s in

Jurien Bay, supported by a large contingent of our youth and

seniors that made camp in nearby Cervantes. This provided

a fantastic opportunity to integrate some leadership

opportunities, fun, skills development and SRC training into

a fast paced weekend that challenged not only the kids but

the support team of Jenni Wood, Fiona Gatey, Rob Allen,

Simon Farmer and Sarah Gregson.

We launched a few new initiatives this season that are

designed to improve training and development of our

competition age groups and provide improved safety of this

group during mid-week training.

The introduction of Board Leasing to the competition age

groups ensured that our U11-U14’s could be correctly

matched to the appropriate weight board for training

and competition throughout the season, whilst ensuring

a sense of ownership and responsibility for the care and

management of this essential but expensive equipment.

Many thanks to Geoff Elliott and Dawn Jones who took the

reins and managed the process of collection and retrieval of

the boards at the end of the season.

A number of thankfully minor incidents during mid-week

training early in the season saw the junior committee

implement best practices with respect to the safety of our

youngest group of competitive members. The policy of

wearing pink vests and ensuring IRB coverage for all training

sessions greatly improves the ability of rapid recovery in the

event of any unfortunate incident, and thanks must go to

Sandy Clarke and her coaching team, Nik Upston and

Lloyd Brosens for quickly implementing and enforcing this

policy for the remainder of the season.

From a competition standpoint, our skills training on the

beach and in the surf during mid-week training and on

Sundays obviously bore signifi cant rewards, with Mullaloo

SLSC consistently dominating results all season, culminating

in our back to back State Junior Champion Club award at

Fremantle in March by a considerable margin over Sorrento.

We introduced a number of new Age Group Managers into

the fold this season, including Matthew Quin and Rebecca

Copland (U9) and Michelle Pratt (U7). Thanks for putting

your hands up to take on this challenging yet rewarding role.

Our Junior Committee was kept busy during the season, from

arranging sausage sizzles, Halloween Discos, entertainment

at the Country Carnival in Geraldton, and a number of other

events throughout the season. A hearty thankyou to the

JCOM for a fantastic season, including Dawn Jones, Geoff

Elliott, Julie Madden, Mike Bubrzycki and Zoe Fulcher.

This club is run by volunteers. Many of our junior member’s

families have contributed in many ways throughout the

season and we thank you for your support of this signifi cant

part of Mullaloo SLSC. A special thank you has to go to our

Junior Volunteer Award recipients for 2012/13, Sarah and

Roger Gregson, who seemed to be at every function,

training event, club day and competition, providing water

safety and anything else that was required all season.

As was highlighted in the May newsletter, I have decided

to step down from the role of Manager of Juniors for next

season and focus on work and personal commitments. I

must thank both Anne-Marie Widermanski and Carlo

Tenaglia and the Board and Management of this wonderful

club for providing me with support in this challenging yet

rewarding role over the past two years. I have thoroughly

enjoyed the responsibility of stewardship of our youngest

members and as I will miss the fun on a Sunday morning,

I have put my name forward to return to the role of Age

Group Manager for the upcoming season.

See you on the Beach.

U14 BOYS | SIMON FARMER

A big thank you to all of the U14 Boys who participated in

their fi nal season as juniors at Mullaloo SLSC for 2012/13.

The season began relatively early with a core group of boys

attending training on Saturday morning, honing their skills

on boards for the season ahead. It certainly paid off , with

many personal and team achievements in the competition

arena. Many thanks to everyone who put a lot of time and

eff ort into organizing the Jurien Bay Camp with a memorable

time being had by all. It was a jam packed season with

all boys completing their SRC. To see boys who were not

keen to take on the competitive side of lifesaving, turning

up on weekends to patrol, makes my role as AGM all the

more rewarding.

This season, as in previous years, would not have run as

smoothly as it did without the invaluable help of my Liasion,

Fiona Gatey. It has been an honour to help guide you over

the years and I wish you all the very best not only in Surf

Lifesaving for next season but in any future challenges that

you pursue.

U14 GIRLS | JENNI WOOD

The 2012/13 season sees our U14 Girls say goodbye to Junior

competition and enter a new journey as Seniors.

Our season started early with 7 girls and 8 boys hitting the

water Saturday mornings throughout winter, getting board

skills competition ready. The cold start was all the more

enjoyable with Amanda Knight’s amazing muffi ns.

The season highlight was the U14 Camp at Jurien Bay, where

our SRC Trainer Steve Dargie devoted his time and travel to

ensure our kids were assessment ready – on the day of his

son’s Bucks night! Thanks Steve – that’s dedication! 24 girls

completed their SRC, now becoming valuable patrolling

members.

Our core group of 11 competitors gave great representation

in both Beach and Water arenas at all Carnivals, resulting in 7

Medals at Junior States – 2 Gold, 1 Silver and 4 Bronze.

The results were fantastic, but Surf Club isn’t just about

competition. Congratulations to all the girls who

demonstrated improvement in all disciplines of Surf

Lifesaving. It has been a privilege to witness the wonderful

friendships and camaraderie developed between them.

Jake Libbis again demonstrated his commitment and

leadership as AGM Assistant. Jake has been a fantastic asset

to our age group – thank you very much Jake!

THANK YOU

Water Safety

Thanks also to the mums, dads, brothers & sisters who

provide the much needed Water Safety on Club Days,

Carnivals and Training sessions, – without you we

U13 BOYS | AARON BRINKWORTH

We are all extremely proud of our U13 Boys this season. They

have continued to progress amazingly well through the

junior ranks and by next season we are sure to have a brilliant

group of kids ready and raring to go and commence their

community service responsibilities as patrolling members of

our great club.

This season we have seen a resurgence in our competition

abilities and results both from intra and inter-club as well

as State Championships. Congratulations to those who

competed at State Championships and represented their

club to the highest of their ability, helping the club to come

away with such fantastic results. We had a solid team of 12

boys for State Championships with most boys placing in the

points or high fi nishes in semi-fi nals.

Next season sees many changes including our graduation

to full sized racing boards, training for and performing

lifesaving duties. It will be a pleasure to see this wonderful

group of boys take these new challenges by the horns. We

will be employing a slightly diff erent approach in order to

guide these boys into becoming our future “Hero’s of the

Sun and Surf” as we focus on further developing confi dence,

independence and resilience. A fi nal thanks to our awesome

A/AGM’s Mark Papadopoff and Adam Wilmot as well as

Dawn Jones, our Liaison who has kept us well organised all

season.

U13 GIRLS | MANDY LEE

Girls, girls, girls, what a fun year! Firstly, thanks to Jen

Beevers for her unwavering support and help. Thanks to

our wonderful parents who are always hands on with Water

Safety, being Offi cials, preparing the sausage sizzles upstairs,

taking snaps of the kids so we can remember these fun times,

helping me with running the group, warm-ups, education

and being there when I could not be. You all know who you

are, and I won’t name anyone for fear of missing somebody

inadvertently! We have had some fun times with the U13

Boys (thanks Aaron and gang!) and we look forward to

forging further bonds between the two groups next season.

I look forward to seeing you all during the winter for Mal and

SRC training and I will fi nish with what “UNDER THIRTEEN

GIRLS” means to me and to Mullaloo SLSC!

U12 BOYS | MYLES LAING

The U12 Boys had another great season for 2012/13. All

34 boys performed brilliantly this season in competition,

education and teamwork, they worked hard and trained

hard which paid off . There were many highlights throughout

the season and the eff ort the boys put in was rewarded with

medals, awards or personal bests so well done to you all!

Special thanks go to our A/AGM, Ian Curry and Tom

Bubrzycki, who supported and encouraged the

development of the U12 Boys over the season. Thank you

to our Liaison, Virginia Lipscombe, for keeping us all well

informed and of course a big thank you to all the parents

that help in Water Safety, as Offi cials and coaching.

U12 GIRLS | MIKE BUBRZYCKI

This close knit group of girls has once again represented the

club in a manner that makes us all extremely proud of their

eff orts. In a season packed full of Carnivals, Club days and

training, their enthusiasm to participate in all aspects of surf

lifesaving continued and strengthened throughout the year.

The highlight of the season always seems to be the Country

Carnival and Geraldton was no exception, with 16 of the

girls trekking north to take on and conquer the surf and

sand of Mahomets Flats. Congratulations girls, on another

spectacular year and look forward to doing it all again.

U11 BOYS | NAT MORRIS

A big well done to all U11 Boys this year. Participation

and eff ort on the beach and in the water was on so many

occasions inspirational. Our taste of competition gave

everyone the opportunity to experience the sometimes

daunting combination of excitement and nerves that go

Phil Clayton visits Mullaloo.




with racing and our boys demonstrated skills, sportsmanship

and teamwork way beyond their years. There were personal

achievements (I’m told it feels pretty good to be able to

swim around the cans at the age of 10 when you know your

parents can’t and even better when you can run 1km faster

than your dad) and team achievements such as our medal

winning relay teams. But the biggest achievements of all

were the friendships made on the beach amongst the boys

over the season. These are the kinds of friendships that form

through experiencing really amazing things together and

become lifelong friendships. Thank you to all the parents

for your help and support this year it was great to get to

know you all a little better. Thanks Sam for motivating the

boys when the going got tough. Thanks to Scott for your

great work as liaison – a fantastic job. And thanks to Sue for

your endless help and support every year. Enjoy your winter

break!

U11 GIRLS | GEOFF ELLIOTT

Well, what a big 2012/13 it has been for my U11 Girls.

They started off with a lot of the girls not even wanting to

go in the water and by the end of the year, it was hard to get

them out. The improvement in all the girls has been great to

see and also made me very proud. We were lucky this season

to have the assistance of Hannah and Lewis. They continue

to turn up each week and their popularity with the kids

is evident.

Some of the U11s competed at Junior Surf lifesaving

Carnivals in their fi rst season of competition. Congratulations

for giving it a go. I would also like to recognise Chalise Pratt

for her achievements in the states. Lastly, a special thanks

also to the parents who help out. Hope to see everyone back

on the beach next season.

U10 | ANDREW COMPSON & SIMON GIDLEY

Another fun and full-on season for the U10s has come to an

end once again!

The season began back in October 2012 with the Profi ciency

Swim Tests at Arena for 66 registered Girls and Boys and

culminated with the group qualifying through and gaining

their Surf Safe 1 Certifi cates.

The U10s had their fi rst real taste of competition when a

mini-carnival was held in December with Sorrento, Mindarie

Quinns and Yanchep. Another event with the same clubs

was hosted in February by Sorrento. All the Mullaloo team

displayed great levels of eff ort during both events and

demonstrated that there is a lot of promise to come for their

move up to U11 next season.

U9 | MATTHEW QUIN

I had three main skill improvement focus areas for the U9s

throughout the season:

1. Surf swimming;

2. Board skills; and

3. Flags, especially focusing on fl ag starts.

The group spent a lot of time in the above areas and

everyone especially enjoyed the long swims out to the cans

at the start of each session as well as the lying down fl ag

starts that we incorporated into almost every activity.

Rebecca, Jess, Ciara and myself had a great time and

were extremely impressed at how enthusiastically the kids

participated in each activity and how dramatically their

confi dence and skills in the above focus areas had improved

by the end of the season.

We are looking forward to the next season and please keep

up with your swimming during the off -season.

U8 | ANDREW BROWN

This year we had a registered intake of 71 children, made up

of 29 girls and 42 boys. Of these we had regular attendance

from 21 and 37 boys.

At the beginning of the season it was noted, during the

profi ciency swim that 3 boys would need to be observed

closely in the water, whilst the rest of the under 8 nippers

showed varying degrees of swimming profi ciency. The

level of confi dence in the surf amongst the age group was

of a remarked improvement from that the same time the

previous year.

Midway through the season we started using boards and I

am pleased to report that the majority of children took up

this challenge with great enthusiasm and confi dence By the

end of the season it was a pleasure to watch the majority of

nippers take on waves with the fun and confi dence required

whilst showing improved levels of surf awareness and basic

understanding of surf conditions, which was encouraging

and rewarding.

On the beach the kids, for the most part, enjoyed the active

activities and games, both from a marginally competitive

point of view and a teamwork initiative. We continued

to work on early ‘fl ags’ skills, and building stamina, whilst

encouraging interaction and teamwork. Ironman races and

relays were very popular.

Tamieka, Danieka and Chelsea were a wonderful help

throughout the season along with consistent help from


George Westcott. We split the group

into 4 subgroups which helped in

particular with sign in and out of the

Nippers which is usually the most

laborious task.

I look forward to the new season as we

advance to U9s with more exciting and

interesting challenges.

U7 | MICHELLE PRATT

Our white capped Nippers came to the

beach in October for their fi rst season,

with varying degrees of skill and

enthusiasm. Through the hard work and

encouragement of our AGM assistants

(Thank you Melanie, Glenda, Jasper,

Charlotte, Scott, Jake, Rebecca and

Grace) and parents, they made a great

team and grew in self-belief and skill.

They also made some great new friends

in the process. With the emphasis on

fun and confi dence building, the U7s

had a varied programme of beach and

water activities that included some

obstacle courses which they enjoyed

immensely. They have made a great

start to becoming Surf Lifesavers!

Thank you too to Chelsea Wenz who

kept us well informed and on our toes

throughout the season in regards to

the clubs activities.

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT

Gayle Gould | Manager Youth Development

Mullaloo Surf Club is fortunate to have a large group of

youth, aged between 15–22 years willing to participate

in numerous activities within and outside of the club.

Mullaloo Youth committee consists of 10 young members

who contribute to the organisation and implementation of

events and are to be commended on their contributions

throughout the year.

The annual Cadet Camp took place down South, during

the October school holidays. This camp is aimed at club

members new to the Senior ranks and between the ages

of 15–17 years. All enjoyed an exciting, challenging and

rewarding experience, where each Cadet forged friendships

and learnt more about themselves and their abilities.

Our youth members have been benefi cial in contributing

to programs and events within the general community,

two of our youth members assisted at a Youth Care camp

in Guilderton, a group of committee members presented

educational beach safety programs to afterschool groups

and Girl Guides. We had young members line the catwalk and

assist the models at the Joondalup Festival Fashion parade

held at Mullaloo beach. A “Opportunities for Life, Have a Go”

day was organised to present various opportunities available

for involvement within the club to young members and was

so successful that more of these days will be planned for

integration by new and potential members.

Four of our members represented Mullaloo impeccably at

the annual Rise Up camp which is a leadership camp held by

SLSWA and is designed to aid in the development of young

15–17 year old Surf Lifesavers.

Our new Youth March Past team collected a silver medal at

senior states.

So far on the social scene, we saw our members attend an

evening of ice skating where much fun was had, lessons

learnt and memories made!

The Mullaloo SLSC State Youth River Cruise, organised

by our very own Youth Committee was successful once

2013 Mullaloo SLSC State Youth River Cruise – Mullaloo contingent.

again and was sold out within days of tickets going on

sale. Young members from Mullaloo, Trigg, Scarborough,

Fremantle, Coogee, Port Bouvard and Mandurah clubs, were

transported from their clubs by bus, enjoyed an evening of

cruising, dancing and pizza consumption together and were

transported back to their various clubs again at the end of

the night.

Many more youth activities are to be planned for the

upcoming months, including some for the over 18’s.

Brett and Wes Gould, Robbie Payne, Josh Clarke visit Madely

Afterschool Care centre.


My philosophy has been to broaden the opportunities

for members to be involved in surf sports. By

increasing the range of competitive standards

(novice to elite), improving the range of coaching

and offi ciating entry points and support, raising the

standard of equipment and ensuring the full range of

disciplines are on off er, our Club has become a more

welcoming and inclusive environment.

This has taken much coordination between the

senior and junior coaches, age group managers, team

managers and management committee. Another

coordinating role has been to imrpove the linkage

of surf sports activities to other aspects of the Club

(e.g. social, youth, education).

Let’s keep building on this philosophy, as the results

are speaking for themselves.

They say “success breeds success”, but it also brings

great demands. Our Club’s improved competitive

capability has increased the demand for coaching

and competition services. To meet this demand,

I encourage all members to step forward into

support and leadership roles, because it is only with

the contribution of our Club members, will our Club

reach its full potential.

SURF SPORTSSandy Clarke | General Manager Surf Sports

Surf Sports Management Portfolio

• Coaching Services

• Competition


Coaching is not only a key driver of success in the

competition arena – it also has a signifi cant infl uence on the

culture of our Club. Volunteer coaches continue to supply a

great service to our members, evidenced by the results of

our competitors and their understanding of the values of

the Club.

Our coaching program now off ers a transition from junior

to senior competition and coaching. Our junior coaches can

now progress to senior coaching capability, through the

tiered coaching system.

In particular, these avenues are introducing our older youth

to new disciplines (IRB’s, Surf Boats, Senior First Aid etc.) that

they cannot access as juniors. This is reinforced by the social

mixing opportunities and “Have a Go” sessions such as at the

Season Opener at Cervantes. These older youth may well

have left the club had we not created a clear pathway to

these new opportunities.

LEARNING – ACCREDITATION

Six members received their Level 1 Surf Offi cial accreditation

this season. Of particular note were fi rst year members, the

Traill’s, who immediately took on the challenge of offi ciating.

DELIVERING SERVICE – COACHING ACTIVITIES

JUNIORS

“Winners of the 2012/13 State Junior Titles – Mullaloo SLSC!!”

– AGAIN, by a long way! Thanks to the many Age Group

Managers and assistants who have provided vital early stage

coaching and supported the tiered coaching structure.

Thanks also to our specialist discipline junior coaches for

their generous time and building the consistent link through

to senior level competition capability. A special thanks to the

midweek junior coaches in the water disciplines, since they

also had to adjust to the use of additional safety measures

implemented by our Club.

CHAMPION LIFESAVER AND FIRST AID

Thanks for the coaches in this area for consolidating the

start we’ve made in the last two years. Looking forward to

an earlier start to the training and coaching to improve our

performance in this area.

POOL RESCUE

A couple of season’s worth of eff ort sees more competitors

and our coaches and offi cials rising to the standard required

to build competitiveness. We have the diffi culty of timing

to contend with – the pool rescue series starts immediately

after the Aussies. So, pool rescue specifi c training will need

to be factored into our future coaching program.

CLUB GYM

Gym use has increased with more competitors seeing it as

a vital part of their training. Seems there’s a spike in usage

especially after each Bronze group qualifi es. Additional

gym equipment has been ordered and awaits the

development and modifi cation of the gym area to

accommodate it – we will be addressing this over the winter

break. Thanks to the Gym Supervisers for delivering the vital

gym inductions.

SURF BOATS

Surf boat sweeps and coaches committed to the introduction

of a formal tiered coaching system this season. As a result, all

boaties are now clear on the Club’s competitive focus and

expectations. Looking forward to further refi ning this in the

new season.

Numbers at the surf boat development squad continue

to grow – with all sorts of members (transitioning juniors,

competitive seniors and fi tness seekers) trying this exciting

discipline. It’s also been a great place for upcoming sweeps

to start out. So, have there been results? Sure have – Rob

Szewczak came across from river rowing into surf boats

through the development squad and now, as part of the

Mullaloo Barracuda’s, has a State Open Men’s gold medal!

Thanks to Simon Gidley for delivering the fi tness training

sessions for the boaties (and others).

IRB RACING

The IRB Racing squad has grown to 22 members and the

coaches have implemented a mid-week fi tness training

session to take these to the ‘next level’. Weekend water

training sessions and joint sessions with other clubs have

helped to enhance the skills of these members. Early results

suggest that our squad are now on pace with the best in

the State.

the non-summer (refusal to acknowledge winter). This is yet

another example of a transition opportunity for our juniors

and senior novices. Competitive seniors and masters are

kept engaged in a formal training and social activity. This

continues to enhance the cultural cohesion of the Club.

The 2012/13 season saw our Club represented by our senior

competitors in 40 events in Western Australian and across

the country. These included series for Board, Ski, Swim, Boat

and Beach, Pool Rescue Development Workshops, Interclub

carnivals, State, Australian and World Championships.

Results are listed on pp. 33-36, so I will highlight stand-out

performances in this report that represent some of the ground

breaking eff orts of our members in the competitive arena.

Although competitor numbers were slightly down this

season, the base of future competitors is growing due to our

inclusive approach. I expect a massive Mullaloo presence at

the 2014 Aussies at Scarborough.

OFFICIALS

“It’s the best seat in the house”, said John Hillen, one of our

newest Surf Offi cials. That’s one of the many benefi ts our club

members have received by offi ciating this season. Thank you

to the 29 offi cials listed next page – who have ensured our

competitors are able to compete and have contributed to

their development.

SUNDAY CLUB DAY

One of the best examples of our welcoming and inclusive

culture are the Sunday Club days. Kicking off with the Club

swim, members from every discipline, age and capability

enjoy our fabulous beach to train, particularly in team events

with a consistent turn out over the season.

Over the season we held three points days, a Club

Championship and an additional Masters points day. These

days assisted coaches to select teams and provided a

competitive training option for members.

Thanks to the Beach Setup Crew and Alison Gerrard,

Katrina West, Tracey and Carlo Tenaglia, Laurie and Ros

de Mamiel, Lindsey Dixon, Judi Baker and Russell and

Gayle Gould for helping run the days and recording results,

along with many other members who organised competitors

and assisted.

TED SCOTT MARATHON

The annual Ted Scott Marathon was again a great test of

our member’s endurance on the 16 December 2012, with

more than 80 senior and masters competitors. Thank you to

all the competitors and supporters for continuing this great

club tradition.

MASTERS COMPETITION

Our Club continues to excel at Masters competition. A growing

number of ‘older’ members are enjoying the dedicated

Masters activities our Club now off ers (e.g. specifi c Masters

training sessions and a fun ‘entry level’ Masters carnival). This

has translated to more Mullaloo competitors at the State

Masters and some super results – Mullaloo fi nished second

overall in the Masters State Championships.

STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS

The State Championships was attended by our Club team

of 85 strong who achieved an overall Club placing of 4th for

the 2012/13 Season.

For the fi rst time ever, Mullaloo won the Lifesaver Relay (by

only a metre): open mens surf boat team – Paul Beattie,

Marcus Blake, Steve Hilyear, Dave Holmes, Rob Szewczak,

swim – Brett Gould, board – Ross Briggs, ski – Brad Taylor

and run – Grace Wilkinson. The win also allowed the team to

represent WA at the Aussies.

Ted Scott Marathon.

COMPETITION

Sandy Clarke | Manager Competition


Surf Sports – Competition | Continued

The U17 males had a great Championships, especially Brett

Gould, winning 7 gold, 5 silver and 2 bronze medals over

the championships which includes the State Titles weekend

and other the Championship events of pool rescue, belt

racing, fi rst aid and champion lifesaver. Josh Clarke also

had a grand total of 14 medals, with Nic de Bomford not

far behind with 12 medals and Eric Fortmann fi nishing his

championship season with 8 medals – of which 7 were gold.

Mullaloo won the A.D. Scott Cup for the highest point score

calculated for U19 events. With an outstanding performance

by Ross Briggs, hauling in 12 medals (7 gold, 2 silver, 3 bronze),

the U19s dominated their age group events, including Jack

Retty (6 gold, 2 silver, 3 bronze), Sam Wood (3 gold, 1 silver, 3

bronze) and Laura Edmunds (3 silver, 4 bronze).

The upset win of the season went to our Open Men Surf

Boat crew, the Barracudas – Paul Beattie, sweep and

rowers Steve Hilyear, Dave Holmes, Robert Szewczak

and Marcus Blake. This was the fi rst time our Club has won

the event, putting their name on the State Surf Boat sheild,

which started in 1927.

STATE REPRESENTATIVES

Once again this year, we had a number of representatives

on the State team, including: Nic de Bomford, Brett Gould,

Wes Gould, Hayley Miller, Wes Thomson and Sam Wood.

Hayley Miller, Ben Jones and Sam Deans were also

selected in the High Performance Squad.

AUSTRALIAN CHAMPIONSHIPS

Our Aussie touring team had a successful week at North

Kirra in Queensland on 15-21 April 2013. The touring party

of 48, included 35 competitors (includes march past). This

was a smaller touring group than previous years but their

results were outstanding, making 16 fi nals over all (3 open

fi nals), between Masters and Open Championships.

It was great to bring home some medals, which included

a gold in the Masters 140s female surf boats – Mullaloo

Marlins: Paul Beattie (sweep), Sandy Clarke, Rachel

Greene, Rachel Kremer, Claire Whitelaw, a silver medal in

the u15 2km beach run – Jake Smith and a bronze medal in

the Masters 44-49 years Beach Flags – Jeff Davidson.

With the Aussies at Scarborough in 2014, we expect a strong

showing from Mullaloo.

RESCUE 2012 – LIFE SAVING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

Brett Gould, Josh Clarke and Trevor Bulley ventured to

Adelaide to compete in the World’s, with Trevor now the

world champion in Masters 55-59 years Mens Beach Sprint.

I was appointed to the position of General Manager

of Support Services in August 2012. My goal this

season was to assist the Club mould itself around

the new management structure and to gain a better

understanding of where the Club needed to go.

This coming season I envisage changes will greet

our members upon the opening of next season and

along with the focus of achieving the Clubs strategic

goals, this will bring about a new vitality to the Club.

This season, three managers continued their

wonderful service, Tracey Tenaglia – Administration,

John Hillen – Finance and Lyn Brosens –

Membership. Garry Addison threw his hat into the

ring and took on the position of Facilities Manager.

Even though the Marketing Manager’s position was

vacant throughout this year I did have one of the

Club’s Directors, Vicki Rasmussen, oversee and

undertake numerous marketing opportunities during

the season. One of those sponsorship’s providing

immediate benefi ts to the competition area with the

Mullaloo Beach Hotel sponsored surf boat bringing

home two gold medals.

Thank you to my managers, their families and their

portfolio’s volunteers for a great 2012/13 season and

I encourage you all to do it again for season 2013/14.

This season has seen signifi cant changes in the

Administration area which has helped streamline our

fi nancial services for the Club and ensuring a greater level

of effi ciency and professionalism. The implementation of

the new MYOB accounting system at the end of last season

and the inclusion of remote portal access has allowed both

Offi ce staff and the Manager of Finance the ability to better

manage our club’s fi nances.

A change in roles saw Karen Oliver and Robyn Turnbull

swap desks with Karen taking on a fi nancial role and Robyn

up the front in reception and administration. This has off ered

them both a challenge, as they adjusted to the roles. It also

provided them an opportunity to cross skill their knowledge

of all the administrative and fi nancial needs of the Club

and members. One of our initiatives also this season was

to replace our photocopier. We are now the proud owner

of a colour photocopier which will allow us to produce

professional quality colour documents and reduce our out

of offi ce printing costs.

We are also looking at changing the offi ce hours during

the “off season” with the offi ce being open fi ve days a week

and with changed opening times. We are looking at ways

to reduce the ever increasing workload on our General

Managers and Managers and they will be able to use more

offi ce services. Thank you to the Offi ce Staff for your hard

work and patience over the season, especially with the

change in management and activities.

As always the Offi ce on Sundays is expertly managed by a

dedicated group of ladies. Thank you for your support and

assistance, ensuring that our members are always availed of

the information and assistance they need.

Our Club website and Facebook pages were again managed,

this season, by Sandy Clarke, providing access for our Club

members to up to date Club information, view photos of

their competitive eff orts and check when they were next

on patrol. The newsletters continued to be a source of

enlightenment and information and thanks to both the

“Editor” and Sandy for their professionalism and creative

humour.

FACILITIES

Garry Addison | Manager Facilities

To go from Bar Manager to Facilities Manager was never

going to be an easy transformation especially given that I

am probably the world’s worst handyman, I was going to

be challenged to maintain a Surf Club to an acceptable

standard. However sometimes the best way to learn is to

take a step back, a deep breath and ask the people who

know.

With all that in mind I would sincerely like to thank every

person who assisted, supported and off ered help and

assistance throughout the year. In the end I think we

achieved some small steps this year and hopefully next year

the full extent of some of our initiatives will bear fruit.

Chase the Ace on Friday Nights was rekindled this year and

at the time of writing it had jackpotted to in excess of $1,100.

Friday Nights have now become a popular night with people

hoping there ticket gets called out and then if it doesn’t that

the lucky person, who did, doesn’t pick the “Ace of Spades”.

I would like to thank Alex from Fantasy Dive, Bret Madden,

Wade Starr (Sonos) and David Cronk for their fantastic

sponsorship and support of this event.

We tried a couple of new initiatives this year to try and

attract people to the Club on Sunday Nights. Unfortunately,

opening at 4.00 pm did not prove popular and we eventually

resorted back to our normal time of 5.00 pm.

We also initiated a lucky member draw on Sundays and we

did have a lucky member, ELLY SAGAR, take out the Member

draw and she is now $1,000 richer for her experience.

Congratulations Elly.

My thanks to the Social Committee who ran the New Year’s

Eve party, with the theme “Around the World”. It was a great

night with around 250 people to see the new year in. The

Social Committee, along with Steve Dargie, were also

responsible for the magnifi cent fundraiser for Mitch Cleary

and we are grateful for your support for a worthy cause.

As mentioned previously we have a number of ideas and

thoughts on how we can improve our club facilities for

next year. The facilities are in need of continual repair

and improvement and hopefully some of these ideas will

revitalise them within the constraints of our ever tightening

budget.

Finally, a very big thank you to the many people/volunteers

who have helped behind the bar, with our busy bees and

with the never ending ongoing maintenance. There are too

many of you to mention, but my sincere gratitude for your

help is appreciated.

MARKETING

Vicki Rasmussen | Overseeing Marketing

Once again The Club has been fortunate to enjoy the great

support of many local businesses and families with a wide

range of activities including signifi cant fi nancial support. The

Club is so grateful to have these relationships and pleased

that we can provide tangible benefi ts for our members.

The City of Joondalup continues to be our largest supporter.

Through their support we enjoy the fabulous Club rooms

and facilities that continue to be the envy of many up and

down the coast.

This year new partnerships have allowed us to provide new

opportunities.

The Mullaloo Beach Hotel has continued their long

standing partnership with The Club and this year increased

their generous support. They came on board as the sponsor

of the Club’s brand new surf boat. This was the boat that

went on to create the biggest upset at this year’s Senior

State Championships when the Barracudas won the Open

Men’s Surf Boat race. This same boat then saw our Females

win GOLD at the Aussie’s Masters Competition in QLD.

Another great partnership this year was developed in

conjunction with members Greg and Lindsey Dixon.

Through their generous support The Club has been able

to begin to develop a high performance training and

competition squad. With talented and successful Junior

and Senior members coming through the ranks we want to

ensure that we off er the best opportunities on the coast for

those members who are looking to take their competition

to the next level.

This year through the support of Jetts Fitness our

prominence on the beach was enhanced. Their support

enabled us to purchase a couple of large sun tents. Not

only have these tents provided a great placed for Water

Safety to sign in on most Junior Club Days, they have made

the rounds with Mullaloo teams to all major competitions

this year.

These are just a couple of examples of the great support

Mullaloo SLSC receives. There are many others, including

some wonderful personal donations. We are truly grateful

to all our sponsors and supporters. We could not do it alone.

MEMBERSHIP

Lyn Brosens | Manager Membership

Another fulfi lling surf club season has passed and the

Membership portfolio has run smoothly and effi ciently as

usual, due to the excellent support received from many

members who contribute to the administration of the club.

The main focus of Membership is to ensure that the annual

registration process during July and August occurs in a timely

fashion, with all of the necessary data being entered into the

national Surfguard database. With over 1,800 members this

is an enormous task requiring many hours of work.

LONG SERVICE MEMBERSHIP STATUS

Each year members who meet the requirement of ten

years of continuous patrolling service are entitled to apply

for reclassifi cation of their membership status to Long

Service. It is gratifying to observe that every year there are

more members who fulfi l this requirement demonstrating

their continuing commitment to the club. The following

members were awarded long service: Guy Edwards, Craig

Whitehead, Jenny Orme and Richard Orme.

LIFE MEMBERSHIP

Long serving members who have made an outstanding

contribution to the life of the club are invited to submit a

portfolio detailing their commitment to Mullaloo and its

members. This year Amanda Lee (Mandy) has been awarded

the status of Life Member in recognition of her involvement

in training, coaching and competition over many years.

Mandy is an inspirational athlete and role model in her fi eld

who has devoted many hours to training others.

SURF CAGE

The Mullaloo Surf Cage went through a transition of

management this year and the new managers and volunteers

have operated the shop most effi ciently, supplying members

with a stylish range of Mullaloo bathers and clothing every

Friday night and Sunday morning. Our Cage continues to be

the best equipped on the coast, stocked with a wide range of

Mullaloo bathers, rashies, T-shirts, caps and the ever popular

hoodies and jackets, which members wear with pride, even

when not on the beach.

ANNUAL AWARDS

The annual awards night was held on the 10th of May in

the stunning venue of AQWA, commencing with cocktails

in the undersea tunnel and followed by a buff et dinner in

the function room. Members were joined by distinguished

guests, Troy Pickard, Albert Jacobs and Mal Washer.

The format of the Awards having changed this year, this

evening was reserved for the club’s most prestigious awards,

recognising training, coaching, lifesaving, offi ciating in

competition and administrating.Amanda Lee receives Life Membership at the 2012/13 Mullaloo SLSC

Awards of Excellence, presented by President, Carlo Tenaglia.


Membership Report | Continued

MEMBERSHIP

The task of running the Membership portfolio relies on the

administrative and organisational skills of many people. In

a club this size, there is an enormous amount of paperwork

related to the annual registration process; the ordering,

stocking and sale of gear in the Surf Cage and the registration

of members for education and lifesaving courses. None

of this would be possible without the tireless support of a

small group of people who have committed many hours

collectively.

at AQWA, members and guests..


The club had a great year from a fi nancial perspective

fi nishing the fi nancial year with a respectable profi t of

$88,672 and a healthy cash balance of $342,560.

A big reason why we made a small loss last year was the cost

of the 50th Year Anniversary celebration and the publishing

of our 50th Year book. Obviously without these costs this

year, the bottom line has improved.

A disappointing fi nancial fact this year has been the

downturn in turnover of both the bar and our gear shop

– “The Cage”. The gross margin remained relatively stable

which was good, however the club relies on these entities

for its cash fl ow and by purchasing clothing and items

from “The Cage” and refreshments from the bar, it is one

way the membership base can really support the club on an

ongoing basis.

In spite of the above fact, our total income for the year was

up $37,169 on last year’s income:

• marketing income was up $29,409 on last year, thanks

to the increased sponsorship from the City of

Joondalup and the much appreciated contribution

from the Dixon family;

• Income from the running of our numerous education

awards was up $10,509 on last year;

• The junior board leasing programme raised $10,300 this

year. This was the fi rst year the leasing programme was

run and goes a long way to ensuring we have funds

available for the replacement of boards. New board

purchases this year totalled $26,037;

• Membership registration income was up $4,757 on

last year.

Expenses, in total, were down $56,422 on last year’s fi gure. If

we extract last year’s 50th Anniversary expenses of $55,731,

it indicates that we were able to keep the overall cost of

running the club stable, when comparing year on year

and in an environment of rising wages and costs. This is a

credit to the management team in the monitoring of their

expenses and sticking to budget where possible.

Other expenditure items worth mentioning include:

• New equipment purchases in the Senior competition

area were down on last year but still included

expenditure of $27,278 on new boards, skis, oars and the

balance of payment of the new surf boat;

• Although total Facilities expenditure was down $6,699

on last year, the electricity expense remains high and

is something all club members should be more aware

of when utilising the club’s premises. Repairs and

maintenance costs were high this year as our clubhouse

begins to show the eff ect of servicing close to 2,000

members;

• New junior boards costing $26,037 were purchased

this year;

• Another major capital purchase this year, and probably

the most visible to the members and the public, was the

4WD beach patrol vehicle. This cost the club $22,260

and is certainly well utilised.

The club remains in a good fi nancial position going forward

and the fi nancial stability of the club forms a solid foundation

as it embarks on a new strategic direction.
