PRESIDENT9S REPORT

The season has passed so quickly, with major achievements taking place, after such a

financial struggle in 1994/95.

Our major and most satisfying triumph of the season was the completion of our new

bunkhouse. After a number of years of planning and hard work, the members were

rewarded when the bunkhouse arrived from Newport TAFE, to be placed on location at

Wye River. Thanks to Shane O'Brien and Bruce Ferguson for the many hours they

contributed towards the Bunkhouse at Newport TAFE, and the Working Bee's some of

our members attended at the TAFE. The committee even held their meetings at

Newport during the final stages of completion. The cost of the bunkhouse went over

budget due to cartage costs, but it was worth it all and the members will have great

times using our new home away from home. The official opening is scheduled to take

place on the 20th January, 1995.

Our club was triumphant again, in finishing third in the state patrol competition. This is

a great achievement and thanks to Steve Rumble and others who assisted in

instructing our members. The reward for finishing third, is a new 25hp outboard motor

for our IRS. Patrols were good over the peak holiday season, then some members did

not attend at the end of the season.

Competition was high on the agenda with members this year, as we attended many

carnivals and won pennants throughout the season. Wye River won the restricted

carnival at Kennett River this year and the carnival pennant hangs proudly in our

clubrooms. Club championships had a change of date this year as an experiment.Special thanks to Kennett River for asslstinq us in the change of venue when the surf

was too unruly at Wye. IRB's gained enough points to compete at the Aussies in NSW

this season. Although they did not make the finals this time, the young ones gained

experience in realising what the big time is about.

Fundraisinq was down this year due to changes in government regulations concerning

Tin Rattles. Once we finally received the go ahead, the season had commenced and

we were depleted in numbers due to patrols. I would like to thank our members who

helped me with the cray raffles. This was a huge success and thanks to the hotel and

Valley Caravan park for allowing us to use their facilities for fundraisinq. Families of our

members contributed with the running of our barbeques at the clubhouse this season.

This also was a good money spinner for the club, so give yourselves a pat on the back.

Thanks to the Friend family for providing the club with the facilities to show movies

once again this season. This is a great facility, which has enabled us to increase our

family membership. Our 'Wing Ding' looked doomed when the heavens opened up on

us at Easter, but through quick thinking by our members, we changed the venue to our

new bunkhouse. This was an outstanding success and appears this could be the go for

future years. We raised nearly $2,500 this year, thanks to those who helped and

contributed, with prizes and catering arrangements.

Finally, I would like to thank my committee for the work that was achieved this year. Wehad some difficult times and disagreements when the kitty was low, but we stuck

together and reaped the rewards of the good times that occurred.



To Hazel, Mathew, Benjamin, Sarah and Rachel, I thank you for your support when it

was needed, and the times I failed to not realise other duties other than the club, I thank

you.

Let's all look to 95/96 season with high aspirations.

Rex Griffin.

SECRETARYVS REPORT

In season 1994/95 the club had a mixed year of fortune. On the plus side, the

completion of the bunkhouse came to fruition, due to a huge commitment by adedicated few. The club came third in the state patrol competition and competed at a

respectable level in both summer and winter, including the resurrection of a boat crew.

Generally around the club we have a new sprinkling of young members who have

enthusiastically involved themselves in all activities. The club has improved it's

relationship with various community groups and is in a position to launch into season

1995/96 with a justified expectancy of success.

The Wing Ding proved again, despite adverse weather conditions, to be a resounding

success and proved the versatility of the community hall in the new bunkhouse.

Unfortunately, the Tin Rattles and other fundraisers were down this season. The

problems encountered with councils etc. have been resolved and the club needs all

hands on deck this pre - season.

Sponsorship has also been difficult to obtain due to current financial markets. Our

thanks go to all those who generously supported the club and have done so for years.

This is one area we as a club need to explore further and all suggestions are welcome.

It is al! there for the taking if we put in both on and off the beach.

Discipline needs to improve, with leadership coming from senior members. I t is

necessary to support each other in a positive way and band around our club captain

and committee. Open communication is the key to a successful club, business or anyorganisation. All are welcome to attend committee meetings and may submit written

suggestions at any time.

Thank you for your support this season and good luck to Denis O'Brien the new

Secretary in 1995/96.

Michael Gurry.

CLUB CAPTAIN~S REPORT

After what has been an extremely difficult and trying season I can only look back now

and see positive results for the Wye River Surf Lifesaving Club. With an excellent

result in the state patrol competition, numerous pennants at both restricted and fullcarnivals, winning the Kennett River restricted carnival, an increase in awards gained,

the long awaited arrival of our bunkhouse and many enthusiastic young members, I can

only say that I am extremely happy with our position at this point in time.

My main objectives for the season were to raise the awareness of all active members to

their duties to the club, to raise the standard of patrols and to increase the strength and

qualifications of patrols. Although not all of my goals have been met, I am nonetheless

pleased with our progress. With several meetings being held over the course of the

season for both patrol captains and active members, I believe that everyone should

now be aware of their duties to the club and to their patrol. Whilst some people havecontinued to disregard these duties, I am extremely happy with the majority of our

members who have shown a willingness to become involved and to take on the spirit of

Lifesaving.

I saw the introduction of an intra club patrol competition this season as a necessary

incentive for an improvement in our patrols. Whilst I was not surprised by the teething

problems that resulted, it was good to see that those inspections that were completed

were carried out professionally and with a good response by the patrol under

inspection. In view of the lack of sufficient data with which to find the Patrol of the Year

the decision was made, through consultation with the executive committee, with various

patrol duties being taken into consideration. Hopefully, with this season as abenchmark we can improve on this competition over the coming seasons. One

outstanding result which shows our improvement in patrols was our third placing in the

state wide patrol competition with an aggregate score of 4095 points out of a possible

4200. Congratulations to all involved in these inspections.

After plans for a December Bronze camp fell through, mainly due to the bunkhouse not

being completed, I was concerned that our patrol strengths would be depleted.

However, thanks to the O'Briens for again introducing new members to the club and a

strong training program over January, we have managed to maintain the status quo. I

must thank Jason Cleary, Melissa Storey, Ben Storey, Aron O'Brien and Sally Agnew

for their continued support in training members. Congratulations also to all members

who gained awards this season.

The bunkhouse has proven to be a major headache over the season, both in the

logistics of it's completion and its use since its arrival at Wye River. I must first thank all

members who worked over the '94 winter to prepare the bunkhouse for completion and

who have continued this work since its arrival at Wye River. It seems however, that the

anticipation of this new facility and the excitement of being rid of our old building was

too much for some people who forgot certain rules of conduct required by the club.

However, by the end of the season most members accepted their responsibilities in this

area. It is important that all senior members set a good example while staying at thebunkhouse and are active in pulling into line any members or non members who



disregard bunkhouse rules. It is up to all members to protect our investment in this

building.

Unfortunately, it has been another disappointing year for fundraising. We threw away

two great opportunities by poor showings at the tin rattles and it has again been difficult

to find people to do crayfish raffles, The club has been actively seeking sponsorshipdeals over the past twelve months with many submissions being made. Our limited

success in this area means that the onus is on the members to provide income to

support our activities. There must be an improvement in this area over the coming

seasons.

Congratulations to all members who won pennants and medals at carnivals this season

and to all members who competed I congratulate on representing the club and raising

our profile within the Association. Your efforts are much appreciated and generate

valuable club spirit. Congratulations also to a/l winners and competitors in the club

championships, which has again proved to be an exciting event with our beach putting

on both the best and worst of conditions.

Finally, I would like to thank all members for their efforts and support over the season

and welcome everyone back for season 95/96.

Steve Rumble.

CHIEF INSTRUCTOR9

S REPORT

Although I only took on the position by default in November, the dub still ended up

having a successful year on the instruction and examination side, with everyone who

went for an award passing.

The club was to have had a Bronze Camp at the start of the season, however, due to

situations out of our control we were unable to continue with it as such. The 1995/96

season should see our first true Bronze Camp take place. Despite this the club still put

through two groups of Bronze Medallions.

The first group in November after training through the winter in Werribee. While we still

had the usual group trained and put through over January at the beach. Many other

awards were also gained by members over the summer, which was very encouraging

to see and will hopefully carry over into next season. In the 1994/95 season we did not

put through any I.R.S. drivers, but many started to train for it and are looking forward to

getting it before next season.

Jason Cleary,

I.R.S. CAPTAIN~S REPORT

We started the season with one boat and two motors after the sale of our solid hulled

boat which had served us for many years. During the season we lost our second motor,which was damaged during a patrol and our boat was sent away to Queensland for

major repairs to the transom due to the effects of years of wear and tear. With the help

of Kennett River, who kindly lent us their second boat, we were able to continue to

patrol our beach with a boat. We would very much like to thank Jason Cleary who

helped us maintain the boat and motors during the season and Peter Gardner for his

support. With another on the way soon we are looking forward to the next season.

Ben Griffin Damon Barbante.

COMPETITION MANAGERS REPORT

This season saw Wye competitors at every carnival except one, gaining pennants at all

but a couple of these. Although we only scored one medal at the Vic's, 94/95 was our

most successful season for many years. Our year was topped off with a gold medal

from Mitch Anderson in the open 2km run at Fairhaven in tough conditions. We also

had great success at the Master's Victorian Champs at Lorne with Peter Gardner, Joe

Pannuzzo, Noel Curtin and Andrew Hack, winning a silver in the beach relay and Peterwinning a bronze in the beach flags. This year Shane represented Wye in the Otway

Dolphins and enjoyed competing against other districts in the state.

Congratulations to all pennant winners for the season, about 30 pennants in all, with

Christa bel Osmond having the most successful season for a female in the club for

many years. The boaties were great for the club this year. 1994/95 proved to be a good

learning experience for the crew, which was their aim for the season and we all hope to

see them in 95/96.

The Club Championships Were a success once again, although the conditions weren't

favourable. Thanks to everyone who persevered with the switch to Kennett River on theSunday due to heavy surf at Wye. Congratulations to all winners and placeqetters.

Thank you to everyone who competed this season. We all had a good time and hope to

see more next season.

Shane O'Brien.

Thanks go to all who helped instruct and manage the program: Xaveria Batey,

Christabel Osmond, Andrea Barbante, Nicole Clarke, Damon Barbante, Ben Karnp.

Special thanks to Flick Nolan for her work in the water, rain, hai l or shine.

Thanks also to 'behind the scenes' work from Elizabeth Barbante, Neif Hancock and

the tremendous number of volunteers and supporters on competition day.

Four o f our Nippers were invited to attend a development camp at Mt. Eliza in March:

Jake Storey Rebecca Pierce

Braid Ewin Kate Shannon

They were instructed in all junior Lifesaving activities and had a ball.

Tony Shannon gave up his weekend and represented the club as an instructor, so our

juniors had a familiar face to look up to. Sincere thanks Tony for your efforts.

It is a concern that we find it difficult to attract and hold the interest of 11 - 13 year olds.

This year we must work to ensure we cater to Nippers of all ages.

Objectives for Summer 95/96 include:

Nipper reps at State Titles.

Wye reps at a Nipper Carnival.

Activities for Nippers throughout the Summer.

Seeing all of our Nippers back at Wye in '96.
