Shellharbour
SLSC
Branch Club of the Year 2002/03
|
The club was formed in 1936.
Apart from a short enforced break during World War 2, it has
served the local community continuously from that time.
During this period of service the club has established
itself as one of the principal surf clubs in regional New
South Wales. Over the years members have turned in
outstanding performances in rescue, competition and
community service. As at April 30th 2002 we had 265 members
and 350 Nippers registered
Shellharbour Club patrols the main "Shellharbour
North" beach and conducts surveillance and roving patrols to
nearby "South Beach" and "Blacks Beach". The club has
modern amenities set among a landscaped foreshores. We also
own a contemporary building, The Sea Spray Function
Centre, that caters for a diverse array of social and
commercial activities.
Club membership continues to grow as the neighbouring
suburban area expands. There are 9 active patrols
available throughout the surf season. An energetic Nipper
movement conducts its activities each weekend throughout
summer with numbers regularly registering in excess of
200.
As a local organisation we are regularly involved in
community promotions, programs, exchange of skills, venue
availability and similar activities. We enjoy a
harmonious relationship with the local authorities and enjoy
outstanding support and cooperation from the local business
community.
