Neil Dalziel
Neil Douglas Dalziel gained his
Bronze Medallion on 4 December
1960 at Palm Beach [Queensland]
and transferred his membership to
Maroochydore on 16 October 1981. Neil was awarded Long Service
Membership in 1992-93 season.
From his initial involvement with the Club Neil was involved
with the Clubs patrols and in particular the Clubs IRB’s. He
took on the role of the IRB Vice Captain and held that position
from 1981 to 1984 and again from 1985 to 1987. During the
1984-85 season he was the IRB Captain. Neil was the mainstay
of the IRB section in his early years with the Club until the 90’s. Competitively, Neil in his early years was heavily involved with
IRB racing and was the coach of the Team that won the State
IRB overall Championships in the 1985-86 season. He was the
driver of choice for the TV cameramen who gave such great
coverage during the Just Jeans Carnivals. In 1981/82 Neil was a member of the Most Efficient Patrol that
was awarded the Stretton Memorial Trophy. In 1986-87 he
was the Patrol Captain of the Most Efficient Patrol and again
was awarded the Stretton Memorial Trophy. In the 1989-90
Steve Ellwood
Steven Ross Ellwood joined the
Maroochydore Surf Life Saving Club
on 28 August 1976 and gained his
Bronze Medallion on 10 October
1976. Steven was awarded Reserve
Active membership in the 1984/85
Season and his Long Service
Membership in the 1988/89 season.
In Steven’s first season he rowed boats and had success in the
Club’s Junior Boat that finished 3rd in the State Championships
and 4th at the Australian Championships. In that season that
crew was the winner of the Mattingley and Gatehouse Trophy
for the Most Outstanding Competitive Team.
In 1978-79 Steven graduated to Reserve Grade and was in
the crew that won the Branch and State Reserve Grade Boat
Championship and then was awarded the Mattingley and
Gatehouse Trophy for the Most Outstanding Competitive Team.
In 1979-80 Steven was promoted to crew the Club’s Open
Boat that won the Open Boat at the State Championships and
placed 5th at the Australian Championships conducted on our
beach. It is an interesting observation that all of the members
of that crew have been awarded Life Membership of the Club.
season Neil was awarded the Spider Newing Patrol Trophy as
the Best Senior Patrolling Person.
Neil was a member of Club Council 1986-87, 1987-88, 1990-91
seasons.
In the 90’s he was recruited into various Masters Boat crews
where he won 5 Branch, 4 State and 1 Australian Championships. They also won 5 Branch, 2 State and 2 Australian Silver Medals
together with 1 State and 2 Australian Bronze Medals.
Neil has gained a total of 25 Surf Life Saving Awards during
his service to the Club and Association. In 1987-88 he was
awarded a 25 year Service Award and in 1989-90 received a 15
year Patrol Award
As a builder, Neil has offered his services on numerous Club
Projects, more recently the furbishing of the Black Swan Room. He has been a willing volunteer to the work force on Carnival
days whether it be to erect fences or cook on the BBQ.
Neil Dalziel has over 50 years involvement in the Surf Life
Saving movement. The Maroochydore Club is very fortunate
that a good percentage of his involvement has been here
at Maroochydore and I am sure that this association and
dedication will continue into the future.
The 1980-81 season saw Steven’s Open Boat crew again win
both the Branch and State Open Boat Championships.
From 1991-92 to this season Steven has rowed in the Master
Class and have been in crews that have annexed 6 Branch, 4
State and 1 Australian Championship’s together with 2 Branch,
4 State and 1 Australian Silver medals and 2 Branch and 3 State
Bronze Medals.
1994-95 Steven was awarded the Alex Devlin Memorial Trophy
for the Most Outstanding Masters Competitor.
Using his knowledge of work place health and safety gained
from his employment Steven has been the Club’s Safety Officer
and a member of the Board of Life Saving from 2008-09 to this
current season. He was the Club’s Boat Manager 2012-13,
2013-14.
Steven has gained a total of 28 Surf Life Saving Awards during
his service to the Club and the Association. In 2001-02 he was
awarded a 25 year Service Award. Steven has been a regular
House to House collector over the years and has utilised his
skills as a fitter and turner to ensure that the Club has not had
to purchase any rowlocks for many years.
Steven Ellwood has had a great influence over a number of
sections of the Club over a long period of time. He has been
a dedicated, loyal and proactive member who, will no doubt,
continue to contribute greatly to the Club into the future.

President’s Report
Steve Wieland
As our club completes its 99th season and edges closer to
celebrating its Centennial Year, it is time to pause and reflect
on the transition of Maroochydore Surf Life Saving Club from
its humble beginnings.
What would our forefathers think if they knew that the
lifesaving service they started 100 years ago has grown to
include a members club house which includes a licensed
venue to support and fund our modern day lifesavers, storage
for many thousands of dollars of lifesaving, competition and
junior activities equipment and dedicated training and gym
facilities for its members at alternative locations. How proud
would they be to know that we have maintained the same
tradition of ‘vigilance and service’ to the community, that we
have maintained their standard of ‘no life lost between the
flags’ and still strive to offer support and a workforce for local
community events.
Like our forefathers this is achieved by the hard-work of many
people who share a common goal. It is because of this unified
purpose that so many of our members give so often to help
out at events, carnivals, patrol and competition. An added
strength for Maroochydore is your Board of Management.
I am lucky to have a hard-working and supportive Board to
assist in the management of the club. Every Director I work
with puts in a lot of time and effort to improve services under
their portfolio, and best represent their fellow club members.
At this time I wish to formally thank Wade Lee, who has held
the challenging roles of Deputy President and Director of Surf
Sports. Wade has worked tirelessly at carnivals and has been
of great assistance to provide the general member perspective
at Board meetings. Our Board strives to make sure that the
best decisions are made for the membership and we try to
balance the expectations of the varied sections of the club.
The start of the 2014/2015 season saw a boost to patrol
equipment with the purchase of a new IRB hull plus a 2nd IRB
secured via a SLSQ grant, 2 outboard motors, 2 rescue boards
and tubes, plus changeover of all analogue radios to digital.
Unfortunately the IRBs were soon decommissioned because of
compliance issues, but thanks to the strong representations of
Ian Layton (IRB Captain) and Clive Herald (DOLS) to SLSQ and
SLSA the club will have replacement IRBs as soon as a supplier
is approved and able to fulfil the backlog of orders. Patrols have been maintained throughout the season. Maintenance of club patrols continues to be challenged by a
small minority who do not turn up for, or do only part of their
patrol obligations. This is a problem that must be addressed. In
the off season the BOSS and BOLS will be working together to
review current patrol requirements and develop a proposal to
encourage every member to fulfil their club obligations. As occurs most seasons, our members performed a number
of rescues of beach goers and craft users, often occurring
4
in the remoter areas near the river mouth or south towards
Alexandra Headland. In total, patrol members for Patrols 01 to
15 gave 9,058 volunteer hours, a great effort.
Many improvements have been made to club premises over
the last year and I wish to thank the many members who turn
up again and again to volunteer their labour. Major projects
done by our workforce include laying the Black Swan footpath
along the rock wall at the front of the club, which not only looks
great but makes the area much easier to use as a walkway, and
just last month a large workforce turned-up to help clear the
northern section of the club house for upcoming renovations
work. I’d like to thank Dale Massie (Building Committee Chair)
for all the work he is putting in to have the new nipper toilet
area, first aid room and improved storage facilities finalised. In
addition, I acknowledge the great work that Kim Musgrave has
done to successfully gain the Qld Government $100,000 Grant
to fund this building program. Whenever a competition event is held on Maroochydore Beach
it offers good promotion of our club, its members and the
licensed venue. This year there have been 4 major carnivals:
A-Mart All Sport Junior Carnival, Murphy Builders Carnival,
inaugural Queensland Youth Championships and State Open
Titles. So much work is done in the background each day of an
event to make sure arenas are set-up, equipment is available,
food and beverages are prepared, competitors are ready and
the list goes on. The weather has been very favourable this
year and I am very proud of how well Maroochydore has pulled
off all the work without any significant problems. I would also like to note the ongoing support of local Councillor
Jason O’Pray and Sunshine Coast Regional Council to prepare
Maroochydore Beach for the Youth Championships and State
Titles. Jason has advised that Council will be performing further
improvement to the surrounding street-scape in coming
months prior to 2016 Aussie Championships.
2014/2015 has been a very successful competitive year with a
couple of competitive firsts. Our Juniors hold first place for the
inaugural Youth Championships – fantastic effort by Bugsy and
the volunteer coaches, Age Managers who every weekend turn
up and mentor our young athletes, and the junior competitors
themselves. Brad Stark and his Board have worked tireless to
build a great junior activities section and achieved much over
the last few seasons. Not to be outdone our Open Competition
section achieved 9 Gold Medals, and won its 1st Female Double
Ski Gold medal contested by Alyce Burnett and Brianna Massie. Every single competitor who competed for Maroochydore gives
their all and does a wonderful job. You do your club proud.
Aussies are now finished and competitors will focus on their
next challenge - Rescue 2016 in the Netherlands. Your Board of Marketing and Promotion, in conjunction with
Supporters Club Management, have done a great job of
promoting our club and gaining sponsorship for life saving.
This year at the Sports Lunch – hosted by Chris ‘Buddha’ Handy
with Natalie Cook and Bruno Cullen we laughed at highlights of
their sporting careers, a great day, enjoyed by all who attended. As usual the club’s social calendar was jam-packed with the
half-year Golf Day and Maroochy SLSC Race Day, followed
by $10,000 Draw and annual Golf Day. Your support at these
events is critical, as all money raised goes back to our patrolling
members and competitors. Next time you see an event being
promoted at the Club tell your friends and get them to come
along and enjoy some great entertainment and fun days.
Earlier this year the position of General Manager changed when
Craig Thomas resigned in February and moved to Brisbane. I
thank Craig for his hard work and the improvements made to
club operations, which were recognised at Club Queensland
Awards night when Maroochy Surf was voted ‘Best Small
Gaming Venue’.
After 17 years, Ako Hisamatsu will be standing down as Director
of the Board for the Liaison Section, International, Shimoda Life
Saving Club (LSC) and principle liaison for the Maroochydore
SLSC-Shimoda LSC Lifesaving Exchange Program. From Ako’s
initial negotiations with Mal Pratt, Stan Wilcox, Paul Kelly and
Mike Dwyer this program has successfully met its original
objectives and continues to keep achieving and improving. I
would like to thank Ako and Sandy for their friendship to our
club and look forward to seeing them again later this year.
Your Supporters Club has been trading very well during difficult
times. It is pleasing that the Supporters Club Committee is
receiving good feedback on the quality of meals and service. Under the guidance of Melissa West, the Functions Room is
gaining strength and bookings are increasing.
I would also like to take this opportunity to welcome Shu Miyabe
as the incoming Director of the Board for the Liaison Section,
International, Shimoda LSC and look forward to continuing this
strong and vibrate exchange.
Maroochydore has many long-term members who year in,
and year out support their club. Such a person Life Member
and previous General Manager, Kerry Taylor was recognised
this season for his many, many years of contribution to surf
lifesaving by the Sunshine Coast Hall of Fame. Kerry has
worked tirelessly for the Black Swan since joining back in the
1950’s and I congratulate him that his service remains valued
and is recognised.
It is with pleasure that I welcome Lindsey Palmer to the role
of General Manager. Previously MSLSC’s first Functions
Coordinator, Lindsey has returned to the ‘Black Swan’ after
establishing a successful record of hospitality management in
Australia and overseas. Lindsey will be able to give valuable
input as we plan for the big 100th Year events.
Succession planning and business stability are one of the areas
I am actively working with the Board and management team to
improve. Changes may be small, such as the introduction of a
club email for each Board Director to more significant change
such as the requirement for every Board member to attend
governance training and induction early in the upcoming
season.
In closing I would like to thank the management and
administration team who work so hard in the background. I
also wish to thank every club member for being part of this
great club ‘The Black Swan’.
I’ll see you on the beach.

Mike Dwyer, Secretary’s Report
Initially, I would like to thank Nick Dash for his service this
year and in the past as the Director of Administration and
Membership, and also in the role as Secretary of this Club. Nick has performed these roles and indeed many other roles
in the club to a high standard over many years. I hope to see
Nick continue in his service to Maroochydore SLSC and the
community in the new season.
In my short stint since taking on the Secretary’s role in February,
it has been pleasing to see that Maroochydore SLSC and
Supporters Association, the Maroochy Surf Club employees, all
it’s nippers, patrolling members, competitors and volunteers,
are still up with there with the Best in the Country. From my
involvement in this club and participating at other levels in surf
lifesaving, I can say this with experience and conviction.
I thank all Board members for their assistance since coming
back to sit on a club Board, but importantly to President Steve,
Craig Thomas and Brad Vines in the initial few weeks and the
lifesaving administration staff since that time. I wish the new
Secretary and all club members all the best in what will be a
very exciting season and 100th birthday year.
Narelle Souter, Director’s report
I wish to support Mike Dwyer’s above comments acknowledging
Nick Dash’s years of service and dedication to MSLSC as Director
of Administration and Membership. Since assuming this role
as Director I understand how complex and challenging, yet
satisfying the work is.

This indicates a 28% increase in Active Patrol members (15 yrs. +)
and an 11% increase in Junior Activity Members on last season. Other figures are comparable to last year’s membership. There has been a 33% increase in total membership resulting
from transfers for the season in Full or Competitive Rights, the

Maroochydore SLSC has for many years had strong
representation at Branch and State Level and in the past
season this trend continues. The following members are to be
congratulated on their ongoing dedication and service to the
life saving movement in general.
•Ralph Devlin – President Surf Life Saving Queensland & Board Member, & Deputy President of Surf Life Saving Australia
•Laurie Murphy – Board Member Surf Life Saving Queensland
•Peter Lucas – State Life Saving Officer
•Dan Draper – State Medical Advisor & Branch Medical Officer
•Todd Sweeney – State Communications Officer
•Michelle Burnett – Member of the State Administration & IT Committee
•Beau Farrell – Westpac Lifesaver Rescue Helicopter - Rescue Crewman
•Geoff Rowe – Deputy Director Surf Sports (JA)
•Wade Lee – Branch Head Coach & Team Selector
•Jodi Lee – Branch Team Manageress
•Danny Short – National Coach
The service your cub provides to the community is important.
Every patrol performed has the potential for a rescue to
occur. In the past season a number of rescues were executed
exceptionally well. In August 2014 at the SLSQ Awards
of Excellence, the Jack Dearlove MBE Medal for Lifesaving
Excellence Outstanding Rescue was awarded to Gary Wilkie,
Justin Fay, Steve Wieland, and Certificate of Merit awarded to
Steve Dunn, Corey Stone, Chris Schultz & Chris Howell for their
involvement in the rescue of 2 swimmers earlier in the year. The club is extremely proud of every member who participated
in the rescue, as they drew on their training and showed
outstanding character under pressure.
Surf Safe Appeal in its revised format was moderately successful
this season. Collections were conducted in Brisbane and the
Sunshine Coast for the first time in many years. It is regretful
that participation is low, even though the planning Committee
took on board member feedback that they wanted to collect
on the Coast not just in Brisbane. Next season the Surf Safe
Appeal Committee will continue to refine the processes
associated with the Appeal. The money collected goes directly
back to each member through provision of services, subsidy
and equipment, therefore improved attendance in 2015/2016
Appeal will result in improved outcomes to you.
Apart from providing patrolled beaches and competitive
events, MSLSC also participates in other community activities.
SLSQ AWARDS OF EXCELLENCE 2014
Of note this year have been:
ANZAC Day Celebrations. Our club history shows that the
first working President OH Youngman, had four sons who
fought in the Great War. Continuing our club’s tradition of
acknowledging our past and current service men and women,
Maroochydore SLSC was represented by Alicia Fay and Dylan
Andrews at the Maroochydore RSL ANZAC service. Alicia and
Dylan laid a wreath to commemorate the landing of Australian
and New Zealand forces at Gallipoli in 1915.
The 2015 SLSQ Memorial Day was held at Maroochydore Beach
and attended by dignitaries, fellow life savers, family and
friends. Following a service held in the Black Swan Room, the
attendees followed April Burnett and Jasmine Sharkey to the
ocean. The IRB crewed by Ian & Tracey Layton set the wreath
adrift at sea during which attendees paused to remember those
who have gone before us and those who laid the foundations
of our great surf club and lifesaving movement.
SLSQ MEMORIAL DAY 2015
The Constitution Review Committee has continued to
work towards updating the Club’s Constitution. To date
the Supporters Club Constitution has been reviewed and
implemented. The Surf Life Saving Constitution is expected
to be ready for submission at the December General Meeting. My thanks to Chair, Mike Dwyer and fellow members Glynn
Topfer and Nick Dash for their input and commitment to his
important task.
I wish to express my appreciation to all the Board members
for their efforts this year. I also wish to acknowledge the club
administration staff for their assistance in the last few months.
In closing, I would like to thank every member of our club
for their commitment to Maroochydore SLSC, the friendship
they offer and their service to the community. You are each
champions in your own right.

General Manager’s Report
Lindsey Palmer
I am pleased to present the Annual Report to Members for
the 2014/2015 Year in which I have only been in the role a
short period taking over from Craig Thomas. I would like to
thank everyone for their well wishes in welcoming me back
to the club. Maroochydore Surf Club is genuinely blessed
to employ such a great team dedicated to customer service
while providing members with a great range of dining and
entertainment options. We are transforming the way that we
operate to continuously improve our ability to stay ahead or at
least compete with our opposition as this is an ever changing
industry, there is no place for complacency.
12
I would like to thank the Board of Directors all of whom possess
the skill and aptitude necessary to govern the Club and to
ensure its continued growth and success.
Two thousand and sixteen will be a year of exhilaration and
celebrations while looking to the future with great confidence.
Lastly, I ask all members for your continued support and
friendship over the future years. Maroochydore Surf Club is
much more than bricks and mortar, our Club is all about the
people. Please stop by soon to visit and say hello.
Board of Surf Lifesaving Report
Clive Herrald, Director & Club Chaplain
This season, like the previous 2 seasons it has once again been
an honour and a privilege to serve as Club Captain in what has
for a number of reasons been a rather challenging season.
As usual, the season started off quietly with generally good
beach and weather conditions with all of the early proficiencies
having quite good conditions each time. As the season
progressed through Christmas we maintained fairly good
beach conditions and only on a few occasions have we had to
close the beach due to rough conditions. Not only that, but
the water temperature has been warm for longer this year. Traditionally, Easter has brought with it poor beach and surf
conditions, which has meant patrols became long and hard
going in the afternoon shifts.
This year it was anything but, we had great weather for all 4 days,
good beach conditions, and for the surfers pretty good surfing
conditions, and very little wind to boot so that was a bonus.
Our beach has also held up remarkably well again this year and
even though we topped up the competition pad in front of the
club leading up to States, it shows that the sand pumping from
a few years ago has been of enormous benefit to the beach
and to the local community overall.
As far as events go, the running of States this year both Junior
and Senior was a fantastic trial run for next year, albeit on a
much smaller scale, but it did show that we are capable of
holding such events into the future.
This season we have, as expected, had our fair share of rescues
in the river mouth with kite surfers getting tangled or separated
from their boards and unable to link back up, jet skis running in
and out of the river jumping waves with the occasional driver
coming to grief by being thrown off the craft and somehow
managing to injure themselves, sometimes quite seriously in
the process, as well as the occasional boat capsizing with the
occupants being thrown into the water and washing out to sea
in the outgoing tide.
There were a number of major rescues this season, all of which
had a happy ending, thankfully, but had we not been onsite and
responded quickly the results could have been very different.
We had a major leg fracture with a Jet Ski operator that ended
up with an unconscious patient and the involvement of the
helicopter. Over the Easter 4 day weekend it seemed like the
public had gone crazy with such good conditions. We had a
Jet Ski operator knocked unconscious by his own craft, lying
face down resuscitated and rushed to hospital, his Jet Ski was
eventually towed to Mooloolaba by the Coastguard after it
was washed out to the shark nets by the outgoing tide. We
had another Jet Ski actually sink, something I have not seen
before, and then we had a small tinny heading out fishing with
3 occupants capsized in the river mouth. The Police towed it to
Mooloolaba with what gear we could retrieve being brought to
shore by our IRB crew on patrol.
We had another earlier major rescue and resuscitation
completed by our patrols where the patient, was unconscious
and not breathing but was again revived.
In between these we did have a lot of rescues to perform on
the beach, mostly outside of the red and yellow flags with rips
playing havoc with the beach in different parts particularly on
an outgoing tide.
Out of all this, every member who has done a patrol or two
over the season can hold their head high and even though they
may not have been the individuals who carried out the rescues,
the fact is that you were on patrol and had a situation arisen I
have every confidence that you would have achieved the same
outcomes.
That said it is a stark reminder that accidents do happen,
people can do silly things, and many tourists not familiar with
the power of the ocean can get themselves into trouble very
easily. By virtue of our dedication to patrols and keeping our
beach safe we have again managed another season without
a fatality. On that note well done and congratulations to each
and every member who gave their time to patrol.
Of some interest, earlier in the season I was having dinner
with a friend from overseas who asked me about sharks and
the number of sightings, attacks etc that we encounter. My
response was quite simply that we have not had to close our
beach due to a shark sighting for quite a few years. As Murphy’s
Law would have it, the very next day we had 2 sightings just
south of the flags which were reported by club members out
surfing. And as a result we had to close the beach for an hour
or so whilst the IRB went out to confirm and chase it/them out
to sea. I felt a bit silly that night telling my friends that we had
closed the beach from a shark sighting that very day only a day
after I had told them we did not have a problem.
With regards to gear and equipment, this season we purchased 4 new rescue boards, a new supply of rescue Tubes, 2 IRB
Motors, as well as 2 new IRBs and some additional first aid
equipment.
Many of you will have heard that the new IRBs we and many
other clubs purchased have been deemed inoperable, as
they do not meet the required specifications. Apparently the
manufacturers in New Zealand decided to contract out the
orders to a Chinese company, who changed the specs and
used a different fabric. As a result both new IRBs are not to be
used under any circumstances and will need to be replaced.
That in itself is also a problem, as there are so many clubs in
the same boat that if we order now we will not see a new IRB
till next March at the earliest.
13
When we received the new IRBs and before we became aware
of the problems we had donated one of the older IRBs and
motors to Shimoda and had shipped it off to them. We had
also taken another old craft out of service which means we
currently have 3 operational IRBs only instead of the usual 5.
After Aussies we received another new ATV which means that
we can still comply with our agreements and will look to sell
the 6 wheel drive Polaris in the next few months.
The Arena Cover and zips are a bit worse for wear and we will
be looking to replace them in the off season in readiness for
next season start in September.
This season we have also agreed with the organisers of Ocean
Street Markets to continue to provide them with first aid
services each month as well as the Easter Sunday event. In
return they contribute $200 per month for the regular sessions
and $750 for the Easter Sunday event. We do need volunteers
to help out each month for the regular 4 hours and are looking
at the idea of allocating to patrols as part of their commitment. We may consider these events as part of the compulsory
attendance at our collection day but as yet no firm decision
has been taken.
With many things there is an ever changing environment and
we need to adapt to those changes.
I am very conscious of the commitment that everyone makes
when renewing and agreeing to patrols and associated
commitments for each season. I also want to acknowledge those members who volunteered
their time on Christmas Day. It is a huge call to take time away
from family on that day and I congratulate you all for having
done so. To Peter Fraser who this year has stepped down as radio
operator after 19 years of dedicated service, a big thank you.
To the members of the board of Lifesaving, Scott Steele, Rob
Elford, Narelle Souter, Gary Wilkie, Brad Kildey, Ian Layton, Phil
Lyons, Noel Furmage, Mark Evans, Jeff McMahon and Marlene
Sharkey, a big thank you for your contributions throughout this
season. Without your efforts, mostly behind the scenes, the
club lifesaving operations would not have managed as well as
they have.
Also, a special thank you goes to Scott Steele my Deputy
Director who has attended a number of board meetings on
my behalf, has organised the first aid sessions at Ocean Street
Markets as well as taking on a number of other projects as and
when required during the season. A special thanks to Deb, his
wife for giving him a leave pass so often.
Whilst not all the duties involved are necessarily enjoyable,
most of what has to be done as Club Captain and Director
of Lifesaving is. It has been a pleasure to serve the club once
again and I look forward to serving again next season in the
same role, assuming of course that you as members are happy
to have me fill that role.
See you all on the beach.
I really want to thank all of the patrol captains who gave of their
time this season as well as those members on Long Service
who also offered to assist as when needed.
To Steve Dunn, Wade Lee, Michael Walpole, Peter Elford,
Alyce Burnett, Sophie Croucher, Todd Sweeney, Bruce Morris,
Nigel Ulrich, Mike Rawlings, Peter Atkinson, Marlene Sharkey,
Maggie Donnelly, and Scott Steele, I want to say thank you for
your support and commitment to patrols this season. VIGILANCE & SERVICE

Chief Training Officer’s Report
Brad Kildey
With the completion of another busy season within the training
camp, I can only say that it has been a challenging one. There
have also been dramatic changes with all of our Emergency
Care Training being taken over by ALAQ which is the education
arm of SLSQ. This in itself has caused a lot of confusion not
only for myself but for our members wanting to gain or renew
awards that fall under the Emergency Care banner. As with
the implementation of any new system, there will always be
teething problems which I am confident will be ironed out prior
to the commencement of the 2015-16 season.
With the support of a tremendous team, we have again tried a
variety of different approaches with how and when we conduct
training courses, as well as experimenting with different
training methods. Some have worked, others have been taken
back to the drawing board, but regardless, we are making a
conscious effort to improve not only the way we train, but also
the scheduling of courses to better accommodate the busy
lives of our working volunteers as well as our active athletes.
we are all looking forward to being involved in the upskilling
of some very long standing and respected past members
who will be returning to our beaches as a part of this very
commemorative season.
A very big thankyou to all of our Trainers, Assessors and
Water Safety who have contributed their time and expertise
throughout the season, you are the gateway to our volunteer
Surf Life Savers and Surf Sports competitors.
I look forward to working with you all in the new season.
We have seen the interest of new members joining the training
team throughout the season and beginning to put their skills
to work on the beach and in the theory room. They too are
feeling the rewarding experience of being involved in placing
newly skilled Surf Life Savers on to our beach.
There have been many new awards issued during the season,
a combination of new members to the club and existing
members upgrading and furthering their life saving skills. As
a Trainer and/or Assessor, it’s always extremely rewarding to
see people you have trained putting their skills to work on our
beaches and in everyday life. I applaud everyone who can give
up their time to donate such an integral skill to our community.
With the 2015-16 season fast approaching, planning and
scheduling has already begun on a number of areas including
the Trainers, Assessors & Facilitators Proficiency, Junior Awards
and potential new courses that may be offered. With our 100
year anniversary and the hosting of Aussies next season, we
are preparing for a massive but rewarding season ahead and

Radio Officer’s Report
Noel Furmage
I would first and foremost like to sincerely thank Noel Messer
for his assistance and support during my first season as Radio
Officer here at Maroochydore Surf Lifesaving Club.
I was away overseas for the first two months of the season,
and Noel continued his usual good work until I was able to
return and take over the reigns at the end of November. He
has been a valuable asset to me in both his knowledge and
giving of his time to help me slot smoothly into a very satisfying
role within MSLSC.
We commenced the 2014/15 patrol season with 19 Radio
Operators, all very experienced and with only 15 patrols on the
calendar, one could say we were in a very enviable position.
However, I am aware of natural attrition, so I kept the ad in
the club window and the enquiries kept rolling in. To date we
have 29 Radio Operators, so 10 new people have joined our
ranks during this season. Five (5) have completed their training
and are now Radio Operators in their own right and five (5)
are still in training. A BIG Welcome to:- Declan Billerwell, Eric
Rennex, Graham Davies, Lorna Willis, Mary-Lou Burgess, Chris
Easey, Janice Hunt, George Ritchie, Chris Wadeson and Peter
Harvison.
The 2014/15 season had its challenges with the switch to the
new Digital Radio network. A total of 17 new Radios were
purchased by the club, and the cost of some of these radios
was met thanks to the fundraising efforts of our Grants Guru
Kim Musgrove. Thanks and well done Kim.
We purchased 14 new Handheld sets for beach use and 3 fixed
stations, 1 for the ATV and 2 for the Radio Tower Base Station
operations.
The main issues with the new radios, are that they are much
more noise sensitive, than the old analogue radios. They tend
to pick up wind and wave background noise and amplify it
through the radio, which tends to effect the transmission if
the Operator is not aware of this. The other issue has been a
batch of faulty batteries and so far I’ve had to replace 4 radio
batteries in 1 season.
AA Radio have been working tirelessly on both these issues and
the fine tuning of the radio network by them was producing
greatly improved communications by the end of the season,
with more work to be done during the off season.
We expect next seasons Radio Communications to be greatly
improved over this season and that will be a win/win situation
for all concerned.
18
Congratulations to Cliff Upton who has been awarded the
Athol Nixon Memorial Trophy for the Best Radio Operator for
the 2014/15 season. Cliff has been with the club a few years
now and is a valuable member of our team committing himself
not only to Radio Operator Patrols, but also on the beach as a
1st aider on regular patrols. Well done Cliff.
We are sadly losing 2 Radio Operators this year. Susan Ferrar
in her second year has decided to call it a day and move on.
Peter Fraser is also leaving us after a very long stint. Peter
joined Maroochydore Surf Lifesaving Club in the 1995/96
season and completed his Radio Operators Certificate on 5th
October 1996. Peter has patrolled for 19 seasons, missing
the 2001/02 season due to health problems. Peter was the
Radio Officer on the Board of Lifesaving from 2006 to 2010.
He received his 10 year patrol award in the 2007/08 season.
This is a remarkable achievement . Well done Peter and enjoy
you’re well-earned break and your retirement. Thanks for your
many years of service.
Finally, I would like to thank all the Radio Operators for their
dedication and commitment over this patrol season, Clive
Herrald and his Board of Lifesaving for their support and
encouragement and we’ll see you all back in September for
another great year at Maroochydore Surf Lifesaving Club.
IRB Captain’s Report
Ian Layton
I usually start this report with it’s been a challenging year, or
something like that but really it has been a very frustrating and
difficult year. The main reason for this has been the complete
collapse by the manufacturer in the specification compliance to
which IRB’s must be built. This affected not only Maroochydore
but also other clubs throughout Queensland and other states
who received boats mid to late 2014. I’m sure you have heard
stories going around the club but at the time of the newsletter
going to print SLSQ has stepped in and basically said assign us
control and we will take on those who have done the wrong
thing. The idea being individual clubs can have one combined
voice (SLSQ) in order to recoup their financial losses and restock
with compliant craft as soon as possible. This will take some
time as you just can’t order an IRB and have it show up the next
day, and this will only get worse as other clubs look to restock
from limited supplies. There is some talk of SLSA ordering a
batch of IRB’s, up to 30 at a time, in order to stock them and
Clubs can then order direct from SLSA thereby speeding up the
process. I guess we will all have to wait and see what happens.
I’m pleased to say that we have been able to trade in 2 of our
old motors as part of our annual fleet update. New motors are
now fitted with an hour meter, this allows me to not only keep
track of its operational history but it will also assist with tradeins as actual hours are displayed to any potential purchaser.
We have also upgraded all the prop guards to the brand Propel,
these guards are proving to be very effective and less prone to
cavitation.
We also had the official naming of the IRB we know as
“Shannon”. For those of you who are new to Maroochydore, his
boat is named in memory of Shannon Driscoll, a club member
who before he passed away was a dedicated bronze trainer,
footballer and all round nice guy who was always ready to help
out and also loved to share a drink or two. It was an honour to
have 3 generations of Shannon’s family help us celebrate this
naming. His mother Biruta, wife Libby, daughter Sophie and
sister Daniella, were all there to share this with us, the tribute
to the memory of Shannon Driscoll.
There were the usual IRB award courses conducted throughout
the year all with Brad Kildey’s invaluable assistance with the
small mountain of paperwork we now have to process, and
of course these courses couldn’t have been run without the
help of club members such as Jeff Gelhard (Steggs), and Ogilvie
Thom (OT). Without their excellent support and guidance the
training would be so much more difficult to deliver and of
course a special thanks to Tracey Layton who I should mention
has helped deliver the training in all courses for as long as I
care remember. My thanks also goes to Glenn Mulholland who
kept the IRB’s stocked with fuel every weekend, also for getting
the ventilation improved in the IRB room which was rapidly
becoming a problem and for rebuilding the rear wall which
now has strong hooks on it to store gear. If I have forgotten to
mention your name I apologise, my defence is it’s been a long,
long year. Also, my thanks to those who helped us with the
frequent little tasks such as helping lifts motors and IRB’s etc.

Gear Steward’s Report
Marls Best
At the beginning of the season we engaged the new ATV with
the Polaris being used as a backup. We have secured a new
ATV from Aussies which will be put into action for the beginning
of the next season and the Polaris will then be sold. The newer
lighter Patrol arena is proving much easier to manage on the
beach and easier to store away under the clubhouse – over the
off season we will be making some upgrades to replace the
cover as many of the zips and clips are broken. With a new
frame for the Shade Shelter this continued to provide excellent
protection from the weather for the Patrol teams. Sand bags
were purchased to secure the tent in bad weather; however
someone thought they would be better for their camping trips,
however given the heavy frame this hasn’t caused to much
grief for Patrols.
This year has seen the purchase of 4 new Rescue Boards, this
has been a great asset to Patrols and we were then able to
decommission a lot of the old boards that were damaged or
as old as the Ark. A large number of rescue tubes were also
purchased with plenty still in stock for next season.
Two new IRB’s and motors were purchased this year and
unfortunately are simply looking pretty sitting in the racks due
to non-compliance issues. It is now looking like we won’t be
seeing the replacement ones until March next year which will
provide a big shortage of IRB’s next season.
The only issue we had over the season was the availability of
uniforms, hopefully by next season we will have a large stock
although it has been entertaining seeing some of the guys in
Patrol shirts that look more like rashies.
Phil has done a fantastic job of maintaining all the first aid
equipment and Noel with the radios.
I’d like to say a big thankyou to Glenn, Dennis and Owen, you
have done a lot of maintenance work over the season and to
all Patrol members who all help to look after our equipment.
First Aid Officer’s Report
Phil Lyons
As our club’s First Aid Officer, it gives me great pleasure to;
once again, furnish my Annual Report, this being my sixth since
accepting the position.
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all members for
assisting to maintain our equipment throughout the patrol
season.
There were only a few occasions when the resuscitation
equipment was required and I’m pleased to report that, due to
the diligence of our members checking the equipment at the
commencement of their patrols, everything was operational.
Keep up the good work.
Having said that, there were a couple of occasions when some
members weren’t sure where spare equipment i.e. spare
oxygen masks, tubing, resuscitation bags & reservoirs were
kept both in the cases and first aid room. I am always happy
to give any member a tour of the first aid room if they feel the
need. My contact details are situated directly under the wall
phone in the First Aid room.
20
If any major equipment has been used during patrols, I
encourage members to leave messages on the white board
advising me of what has been used that needs my attention &
replacing. Also I welcome any suggestions as to how you think
things can be improved.
I wish to thank all the volunteers who helped out in First Aid
at the Row for Cancer event and I’m happy to inform you that
as always, it was great success and our club will be very much
involved in the event this year on Saturday 22nd August. As in
past events, I will be appealing for volunteers for the First Aid
area so if you can assist, please contact me.
Murphy Builders and Westpac Junior events were once again
a great success and I thank all the First Aid volunteers for
their efforts, considering both days were probably the coldest,
wettest and windiest days of the season, great work team.
In closing I’d like to thank our Club Captain, Clive Herrald & my
fellow Board of Life Saving members for their support.
Board of Marketing and
Promotions Report
Fran Boulton, Director
It has been a very busy year for our dedicated Marketing and
Promotions team. With the cost of living increasing every year
and most household and business budgets at bursting point,
raising funds for any charitable cause is never easy. Surf Life
Saving is no exception.
Fortunately, we have many generous people and organisations
in our community who support and sponsor our club in
many different ways, large and small. Without their help,
it would be impossible to keep Maroochydore Beach safe. Funds raised enable the Club to provide the equipment and
training necessary for our Surf Life Savers to maintain our
core activity of beach patrols. Therefore, it is important that
we are actively out in the community seeking opportunities to
attract sponsorship dollars. Although money is tight out there,
we have been indeed fortunate to secure support from many
sources, and for that we are very thankful.
Firstly, I would like to thank our largest donor, Maroochy Surf,
our licensed Club. Without Maroochy Surf and all of the people
who support it, our job would be almost impossible.
a good way to meet up with Club friends before Christmas and
have a drink with them.
As I mentioned earlier in my report, things are a little tight out
there. However, we have managed to maintain our current
sponsors and add several more to our current list. In the past
twelve months this Board has managed to raise $118,000.00
with sponsorships and fund raising events here at the Club.
Finally, I would like to acknowledge my team of the past
year …. To Anne Dun, Melissa Woollett, Natalie Jarrott, Life
Member Paul Thomas and Carnival Organiser Wade Lee,
my sincerest thanks for the time and energy you have put
into your roles over the past twelve months …. without your
advice and assistance my role would be impossible! I would
also like to thank Steve Wieland, our President, and the Board
of Management for your continued support. Also thank you
to Craig Thomas and Lindsey Palmer, Melissa West, Christie
Levens, Lauren Mulholland, Chelsea Roxburgh and Larissa
Hallam; I have sincerely appreciated all the assistance given to
me over the past year.
During the course of the year we have our own fundraising
events here at the Club and with the hard work of our members
they have grown into very successful and profitable events. Our annual Surf Girl Golf Day is always a popular day and one
of our most profitable events with many sponsors and players.
The Sports Luncheon in July and Race Day in August were well
attended and successful, which raised much needed funds. We
hope that these two events will have you all out there, rushing
to buy tickets for this year’s Luncheon and Race Day. We have
been having a Golf Day in August as well, which is proving to be
very popular and successful.
November and December were big months on the competition
calendar for Maroochydore Surf Life Saving Club with two
carnivals on our beach. We held the Amart Sport Junior
Carnival in November and the Murphy Builders Maroochy
Classic Carnival in December. Amart Sport is a new sponsor
for the Junior Carnival and it has proved to be a very successful
relationship between us and we are very lucky that Amart will
be continuing to sponsor this carnival into the future. The
Murphy Builders Maroochy Classic had two great days of
competition and proved to be very successful with $35,000 in
prize money on offer. Murphy Builders have also committed to
another two years and we are hoping to have the prize money
up to $40,000.00 at next year’s carnival. Special thanks must go
to our Committee Member and Carnival Organiser Wade Lee
for the dedication and hard work that he and his team put into
both Carnivals. Once again, a job well done.
Our final fundraiser for the year is the Maroochy $10,000.00
draw in December. This was once again a very successful
afternoon, with all 250 tickets sold. It is a great afternoon and

I spent nine days on the beach at the National Titles and came

the second leg of the U17 Ironman final and I will never forget
the emphatic Open Women’s Taplin win with extraordinary

On behalf of the Maroochydore Surf Lifesaving Club, I would
like to thank Sue BAXTER-WINCH and John WINCH for nearly
a decade of volunteer coaching of the clubs members in the
Pool Rescue Discipline. During this time, their efforts have
led to numerous successes of Maroochydore members at a
World, National, State and branch level, and the club to be
recognised as a heavyweight in the Pool rescue domain. All
the best in your future endeavours Sue and John !
I thank all parents and supporters for their continued
commitment to their children and the clubs endeavours. In
particular I would like to thank Team manager Justin FAY and
Rob ELFORD for their tireless efforts this season.
The 2015-16 season is about to be upon us with an exciting
once in a lifetime opportunity of competing at an Australian
Titles on our home beach.
I urge all members past and present to be a part of our
impending 100 year anniversary celebrations and to
make yourselves available to compete at Aussies 2016 on
Maroochydore Beach.
Team Manager’s Report
Justin Fay
For Maroochydore Surf Life Saving Club Surf Sports, 2015 has
been a stellar year with a healthy growth in our competitor
listing. I put that down to our coaching, our known outstanding
performance records, our Surf Sports program and last but
not least the pure desire to compete for the most professional
team on the beach, The Black Swan.
Our team of athletes has once again excelled at Local, National
and International level in all areas of the sport, proven by many
inclusions in Branch, State and National teams.
Our Boat section has proven itself as a force to be reckoned
with, among Australia’s best rowers. With Open Male, Open
Female, Reserve grade, U23 Women and Junior Male crews
competing hard for their mates and flying the Black Swan
colours with strength and pride all year. Especially at Aussies
with all teams making it through to Saturday’s heats and U23
Women and Junior Men both showing determination and skill
to make it to finals on Sunday, where the boys gave it their all
and the girls finished a very credible 4th.
Under the watchful eye of Sue Baxter-Winch, once again
our Pool Rescue team grew in numbers and stature with an
impressive season. Wins at Branch, State and an incredible
result at Nationals and Worlds with many gold, silver and
bronze medals taken home, accompanied by some National
and International records that will stand for some time. This
is a credit to Sue and her team’s commitment to achieve the
highest results at all levels. Both Sue and the team are a credit
to the club.
Our First Aid team under the expert guidance of Lenore Grice,
proved again that they lead from the front with U15, U19 and
Opens qualifying their way to the top by making Nationals. But
for them, just making that wasn’t enough, they continued their
march to the top with our U15 achieving Gold, U19 achieving
Silver and Opens achieving Gold and Silver. Their commitment
to themselves, their field and the Black Swan is second to none.
This year saw a lone competitor make National level in
Champion Lifesaver, an event which is also qualification based.
Maddi Korac quietly went about her business, made her way
to Aussies and finished a very credible 6th which is no mean
feat. This shows her dedication to study, train and perform at
an elite level. I certainly foresee podium finishes for Maddi in
the future with her commitment to the sport, pride in the Black
Swan and drive to be at the top.
Our Beach competitors once again proved their strength
and determination, propelling themselves across the sand
at great speed throughout the year at all events. With a rise
in members, under the watchful eye of Glen these boys and
girls have trained hard and raced harder, grown in confidence
and learnt the skills needed to continue to grow in their
achievements. Their dedication and commitment to the Black
Swan is unshakable. Our lone runner, Cody Rychvalsky, made
it to the U19 sprint final and with injury fought all the way to
come away with Silver. Great effort!
Many of our athletes have been chosen as representatives in
other sporting arenas in Branch, State and Australian teams.
There are too many to list, but rest assured they’re all worthy
of their selection and the Black Swan is proud of them and their
endeavours.
The Coolangatta Gold
Pain and glory enticed a more than a few this year. The
results over the weekend speak for themselves, showing
strength, determination and individual and team spirit beyond
imagination. The Open Women defended their title whilst the
Open Men gave it their all to finish a vastly improved 6th. Doing
it for each other our U19 Female teams finished 2nd and 3rd
whilst the U19 Male teams finished 2nd and 6th. Ashley Massie
and Kirk Jarrott teamed up with some old mates to win their
division whilst Kylie Zikarsky and Steve Dunn showed true
Black Swan grit pushing the limits of mind and body to finish
very respectively to the cheers of the crowd.
And next, the juniors, taking out their age groups with 1st
places to Tiarnee Massie and Jenaya Massie. Well done! A huge
effort displayed from all who attended.
23
States
Senior State Titles were held in some challenging conditions on
our own beach with the Black Swan team excelling, picking up
23 gold in U15 to Opens. The greatest hall of medals at States
to date! The boaties won 4 Gold of the 7 on offer in a dominant
display, proving they are a force to be reckoned with.
Aussies
The week started with the first ever Youth Titles. Scoring 4
Gold medals in the male U15 Surf Race Matt Palmer, Female
U15 Board Race Grace Kaihau, Male U15 Board Rescue with
Matt Palmer and Jackson Woollett and Female U15 Board Relay
with Grace Kaihau, Alexandra Clarke and Shaye Travers. The
junior team also picked up many second and third medals.
Together they managed to (unofficially) win the carnival. Look
out Senior’s, this bunch is coming to get you!
Our Masters competed next with two days of awesome
results, Individual and Team Golds, propelling them to a very
respectable 10th place overall winning 3 Gold, 9 Silver and 6
Bronze. The standard of competition is increasing every year in
the Masters section with Aussies on our own beach next year
we are hoping for great results.
The Open’s came next and over 5 days of heats and semi’s they
managed 7th overall and a great showing on finals Sunday.
With 4 Gold medals 4 Silver and 8 Bronze it was a great week.
I was proud of all our athletes and proud to be part of the
24
Black Swam team. Some of the Gold’s I was privileged to see
were Alyce Burnett and Brianna Massie in the Open Female
Double Ski, Jye Duffy, Jake Dale and Joshua Jones-Rew in the
U19 Ski Relay, Clayton Burnett and Tristan Waller in the U15
First Aid, Fiona Meredith and Maggie Donnelly in the Open
First Aid, Alyce Burnett, Nicole Chapman and Laura Pettigrew
in the Open Female Taplin (in which I was cheering so loud the
crowd around moved away. Who cares, they were Northcliffe
anyway).
Standing back, watching the whole team digging in and giving
everything they had, race after race. I was especially proud
of the U17 boys and U17 girls. The field of athletes they
competed in was incredible. They raced hard and led the field
in many races and finished heads held high and smiles of their
faces. There were so many outstanding individual and team
performances, I congratulate you all. We had a small team but
every member stepped up and proved to themselves and each
other that they have what it takes, that’s what makes a winning
team.
QUALITY IS BETTER THAN QUANTITY.
I would like to congratulate the coaching staff on a job well
done. And also to our Official and IRB personnel, who give their
time again and again. Without you there is no competition. To
all those who have put up tents, worked on the BBQ’s and not
stood back when it was time to pitch in. Many, many thanks.
