The Surf Lifesaving Patrol Season is well under way now,
and as a Club we rely heavily on a up to date fleet of
Inshore Rescue Boats (IRB’s). We currently require a
fleet of five boats and regularly update this fleet. Our
newest addition is now here and without the support of
our Sponsors, especially Beric Lynton from Bruce
Lynton Automotive Group, we would not
be in a position to provide this level of
proficient service to our community.
Beric and Bruce Lynton Automotive
Group have been supporting our IRB
section for some years now and we
sincerely thank Beric and his team for
everything they do for our Club and the
other community groups in which they
support.

SWAPSEA This season, we're encouraging the
use of SWAPSEA, the Online Rostering
Management system. If you haven't
activated your account yet, head
over to swapsea.com.au and enter the email you gave the
club on your membership form to activate your account.
SWAPSEA is a great system that gives you info about your
upcoming patrols, patrol hours, any expiring awards etc. Most
importantly, it allows you to easily organise swaps/substitutes
for any patrols you can't make—definitely a great tool to
utilise.
BLUE CARDS PLEASE CHECK YOUR BLUE CARD AND MAKE SURE IT HASN’T
EXPIRED. IF IT HAS OR IS CLOSE TO EXPIRING YOU NEED TO
RENEW ASAP. See Tiarne or Caroline.
INTERNATIONAL SURF LIFE SAVING ASSOCIATION ISLA (International Surf Life Saving Association) is a Volunteer
Social Justice organisation promoting lifesaving particularly in
developing countries. Drowning is the third highest form of
non-disease cause of death worldwide. Albania, Turkey,
Greece, Ghana, Indonesia, Thailand Chile, Nicaragua,
Mexico have all benefited from ISLA programs. China and Iran
will be two new countries in 2018.
In December this year several BMD Northcliffe members will
be part of the next Indonesian Training Team. We pay our
own way, stay in adequate accommodation, make friends
with other lifesavers/lifeguards particularly Americans and the
locals and experience the country as few tourists ever can.
If you want a great life experience and greater understanding
of the importance of lifesaving follow ISLA on FACEBOOK or

We welcome a couple of new members to the boat crew
ranks this month. Sarah Jane, Liam, Jordon and one of young
juniors from a couple of years ago – Chandler Walker has
returned. The Gold Coast Squads are coming together
nicely as is the Brisbane crews. Damian, our A grade sweep,
looks to field a Reserve, Junior and Ladies Crew out of
Brisbane, and we have gained some great young rowers
from Corrimal and Mona Vale - so all going well. We have
two Australian Titles to defend!!
There are also a couple of other Club members who are ex
gun rowers from a local Gold Coast school who will surprise
us this year - we are looking forward to them starting with us
soon. Our aim is to nurture the young rowing members,
utilising our master’s rowers to cement our boat rowing
culture for the Club. Lifesaving development and
engagement are at our core – having fun and representing
the club are also part of our values. Our masters are nipper
parents who have made the transition to competition as well
as patrolling our beach - and have their kids in the junior
club.
To that end, we are really happy to have Stuart
Traill (Harry Hi Pants) from Ellis Beach reconstitute
himself as a bronze medallion holder so that
Stuart can restart the process of having his
previous awards updated. I recently assessed a
bronze crew trained by our club trainers and we
cannot praise their efforts enough – Stuart was
on this course to update his bronze medallion.
We continue to receive constructive
feedback (sort of) from our very senior
“pod” members who religiously swim
at the club every morning – pictured
right analysing and discussing our
rowing styles - We’d be lost without
them!!!
Training is every Sunday morning at
the moment from the club for all boat
crews, commencing 6:00am -
everyone is invited.
Masters are lookin’ good!!!
