What a day!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the official opening of our new Ellis Beach Surf Life Saving Club clubhouse yesterday!

It was so wonderful to see the clubhouse filled with so many smiling faces — from our incredible Life Members and past members, to our new members and families, along with SLSQ representatives, local dignitaries and politicians who came along to celebrate this very special milestone with us.

After so many years of planning, hard work and fundraising, it was incredibly special to finally open the doors and celebrate together.

We'd also LOVE to see the day through your eyes!
