Thank you to Anna Emery, Kerry Oakley, Peggy Grimm, Perdie Beebe, Tanya Crabtree, Ainslie Western and Alistair Mackinnon for putting together a wonderful afternoon. I think we may have set a new world record time for consumption of pizza!
A huge shout out to all of our volunteers that make Sundays on the beach and Tuesday Trainings happen; our AGM and AGA’s, youth and senior officials and water safety, the NRC water safety crew, water safety coordinators, life members and parents and carers.
