Throwback Thursday ⚡
Christening of the Joan Gill, 1960.

Southy's new surfboat being christened in 1960, following a generous donation from Warringah Shire Council. The boat had originally been allocated to Collaroy Surf Club, who passed it on to Southy after recognising that our club was in need of a new boat.

The boat was named after Joan Gill, who had already given many years of service and support to Southy at a time when women were not eligible for full membership or active patrol duties.

Joan was married to Life Member Bert Gill, daughter of longtime club treasurer Harry Turner and sister of Ian Turner, a noted competitor for Southy.

A big thank you to Grant Shapcott and Brian Grundy for all the unseen work they put in to get our equipment ready, and to Keith, Jeff, Claudia, Ed and Peter for lending a hand. 🧡💙

🧡💙 A big Southy thank you to the team from JLL who spent last Friday giving the club a bit of a makeover.

Organised by Greg Ritter, the team spent the day painting the Patrol and First Aid rooms and bringing the tarnished chrome railings around the building back to life. A great effort and a huge improvement!

We'd also like to say a big thank you to Dulux for donating the paint, Bunnings for supplying the brushes, rollers and other gear, and Würth for donating the stainless steel cleaner and oil.

We really appreciate the time, effort and generosity that went into helping freshen up Southy.
