✨ What a special night at our 2026 Annual Awards ✨

Last Saturday at the Old Lyric, we celebrated the achievements, dedication, and spirit that make our club so special—an evening full of pride, laughter, and well-deserved recognition.

We were honoured to be joined by Jack Dowie (SLSWA), Nola Marino, and Mayor Jaysen De San Miguel, who assisted Kristian in presenting Denise with a special award celebrating 10 years as President.

Recognised for her incredible contribution as Director of Surf Sports and Youth, coach, and active patrol member, Denise’s impact was described as part of a “deeply woven family legacy.”
“While words will never capture the depth of our gratitude, the heart, soul and future of this club are better for your decade at the helm.”

👏 Congratulations Denise, and to all our award winners—especially Olivia Barr, winner of the $500 Member Draw!
