This afternoon we came together for the South Melbourne Life Saving Club AGM, where we reflected on another successful year and elected our 2026/27 Board.

Today marks the end of an incredible chapter as Alison Porter steps down from the Board after more than 26 years of service, including the past four years as President.

Alison’s passion, commitment and unwavering dedication have left an incredible legacy. Through her leadership, the Club has grown stronger, more connected and better positioned for the future. While she may be stepping away from the Board , we know that Alison isn’t going far. She will continue to be an active member of South Melbourne Life Saving Club, and her experience, friendship and love for the Club will continue to make a difference both on and off the beach.

Thank you, Alison, for everything you have given to our Club. Your leadership, kindness and commitment have helped shape South Melbourne LSC into the club it is today.

Congratulations to our newly elected Board for the 2026/27 Season:
• President – James Quine
• Secretary – Roh D’Silva
• Interim Treaurer – Nick Marveggio
• Club Captain – Nick Vouk
• Directors – Robbie Brain, Richard Landels, Tom Fifiled, Zsuzsa Zalatnai

We wish the new Board every success for the season ahead.
