Celebrating 40 Years of Women in Surf Life Saving - SAVE THE DATE
Sunday 1 November 2020 South Maroubra was one of the first clubs in the branch to accept female members as surf life savers in season 80/81 – a moment in time which the Club will continue to benefit from forever. As you would have all seen on many forms of media, Surf Life Saving Australia are now in the season of celebrating 40 years of Women in SLS. South Maroubra has scheduled into our calendar for season 20/21 that we will dedicate our Sunday Social 1st November to ‘Women in SLS’. We have been fortunate to have many trail blazing pioneering women in our club who were there in the 80’s and beyond who put our club on the map whether it be in Surf Sports, Patrolling, Education or Leadership. Whilst South Maroubra was lucky enough to have the assistance of many females in the club prior to 1980 - the significance of 1980/81 was their acceptance as active members to become surf lifesavers and patrol. Our dedicated Sunday will be no fuss, purely an opportunity for the Club to acknowledge and welcome friendships old and new and share stories of the pioneering days of females becoming surf lifesavers and being able to wear the red and yellow on our beach. Normal bar refreshments will be available served by our wonderful licensee at member prices and who knows there might even be a good old sausage sizzle on the bbq. Watch this space!!! We invite as many members past and present, families and friends, to join us on this day to celebrate 40 Years of Women in SLS and in particular South Maroubra. The only formality of the day will be a PPT of photos of as many South Maroubra female surf life savers as possible which will play continually during the afternoon. For us to achieve this photograph display, we need members past and present to email photos of females of the club so we can include them. Email your photos to: [email protected] We would also like to reach out to the original female members who gained their Bronze Medallion season 1980/81 namely - Helen Veale, Aileen Wilson, Bronwyn Roberts, and to the females who gained their Qualifying Certificate - Patricia Beasley (Thompson)*, Gillian Cargill, Renee Dever, Michele Stuart*, Kathy Mazzeri*, Jenny Love, Kim MacDonald, Tracy Smith, Deanna Coco to invite them to join us on November 1st at the Club. Any member, friend or family who can assist with providing contact details of these ladies, please send me an email. [email protected] *I already have contact details for these past members We would encourage word of mouth invitations to join us on this date so we will rely on all members to share this information with any present or past female member of the club and their family to join us from 12 noon on Sunday 1 November 2020. Keep posted of whats happening at the club on our website and facebook.

Dear Members and Friends, As you are aware operations and activities at your club South Maroubra have had to be reduced in accordance with health and government increasing restrictions. Actions taken by the club to date have been formally published and distributed to all members via Surfguard emails, Facebook posts and stored on our website in the form of a SITUATION REPORT. We have done this to ensure every one of our members from youngest to mature are kept aware of how the club is responding to this developing Covid-19 crisis and status of the club. Essentially, effective immediately all club storerooms, showers, gymnasium, socials, training, functions have ceased with Surf Patrols restricted last weekend to surveillance after the beach was closed by Council. This developing situation we as a club and society are confronting, is new to us, there is no blueprint or manual in which we are operating, rather implementing all 3 levels of government decisions and doing what we believe is right for the safety and security of our members and club. On the evening, a further development occurred after a video conference where all Sydney Branch Club Presidents decided unanimously to cease ALL beach based surf patrols effectively meaning for us the 2019/20 patrol season has prematurely ceased. We made this decision based on member safety, restriction of beach attendee numbers and the likelihood the next phase of restrictions will soon be implemented. The next paragraph is a message from Nicole Cooney, our Director of Lifesaving Services: “I would like to send my thanks to all patrolling members, patrol captains, trainers and section leaders who have been supportive throughout the season. I thank you for all your hard work and commitment in ensuring Maroubra Beach is a safe place to visit. While this is not the way we expected the season to end the key is we are all safe and healthy. I look forward to seeing you all back in the new season in the red and yellow, and I’m sure when we can socialise again the bar will be open for some celebratory drinks.” Continuing on and with Nippers having finalised their season, all competition cancelled or postponed, social events suspended and now surf patrols ending, I would like to take this opportunity to thank every single person who has made this year such a memorable one. So much achieved so many happy nipper faces each week, great people on patrol and regrettably a large SRC and Bronze training group that could not complete their final 2 weeks of the course when going so well. To all those trainees we hope you stay committed to complete the courses as soon as we are back on deck as you are our priority. To the various leadership groups and, patrol members, its likely we will not be able to formally acknowledge your efforts this season but rest assured when we are able too, we’ll put on one hell of a celebration when kissing goodbye to the coronavirus. Thank you to our loyal sponsors this year, we were in the final phase of organising sponsor events like we were our Gold Members night. We will definitely finalise many of these things early next season as Nippers will with their various age group and competition awards. For your information our Caretakers Barry and Leslie will remain on site looking after the security of the club, our Club Office will remain operational for as long as possible although likely access into the club will not be possible so any enquiry for now can be made via email or phone with details previously published and on SITREPs sent recently. The Club Office bearers will still be working hard through this crisis, probably remotely, so we welcome any enquiries via our office email address, plus we will be ramping up our Facebook Posts so be sure to join in the conversation with a trip down memory lane ensuring we provide some entertainment, club history and connectivity to each one of you. Finally, I would ask all members to look out for your neighbours particularly the vulnerable who are not so fortunate, lets try and lend a hand where we can and grow as a better and more giving society. Be positive, stay fit and well, recognise how good we really do have it here in the lucky country and we’ll see you as soon as we possibly can. If any further developments occur, be sure we will advise you. Kind regards, Paul ‘Stretch’ Fownes Club Chairman/President SLSS Circular SLSNSW Media Release Congratulations to all our medal winners at the NSW State Masters Championships at the weekend. Great job by all participants, and coaches. SOUTH MAROUBRA - 2020 NSW Masters Championships Results
