19.01.2022 It’s been a busy first part of the season... and what better way to wrap up the year than to welcome our newest patrol members. Congratulations to our new bronzies Chris Bradshaw, Michael Biasi, Luke Murray and Richard Scobie. These guys have worked so hard over the past couple of months under the guidance of trainer, Lenny Chiesa and it’s all been well worth it for the prized red and yellow uniform! They underwent their bronze medallion assessment on Sunday with great ...success. A big thank you to branch assessor, Charles Pashalis for making the trip up (several times) and taking all our SRC and Bronzies through their assessments and proficiencies this season. Thank you to trainer Lenny Chiesa for his time, energy, knowledge and wisdom and those you assisted along the way...and to the new bronzies for hanging in there! When you’re next down the beach make sure you pop over to the patrol and congratulate them personally. It’s a huge achievement and we’re proud of what they’ve accomplished!

Starting with our nippers all the way through to our active patrolling members. There's something for everyone to ...get involved in. Not only will you have fun and meet new people, you will become part of an iconic organisation that has served the Australian community for over 100 years. And we think that's pretty special!
