An Outstanding night for the Black & Gold Team of North Steyne SLSC last night at the Sydney Northern Beaches Awards Night. Frank Traugott, our President and Club Person of the Year said it all. Thanks to all the members, their families, friends and the broader community. You are outstanding and here is what he had to say.....
It was pleasing to see North Steyne feature again this year at the branch awards last night with 5 awards.
As a club we have had a very good year. That was clearly acknowledged by the branch by North Steyne moving up one position to 3rd place in the Most Outstanding Club of Year award with only Freshwater (2nd) and North Palm Beach (1st) being considered more outstanding. That is impressive! What is more impressive is that the award reflects the work done by everyone in the club. Thank you to all our members and directors for your hard work and commitment this last season.
Congratulations to Tracey Hare-Boyd for being awarded Outstanding Service. Given everything that Tracey has done for both the club and the branch no one would be surprised by this award.
Congratulations (and happy birthday) to David Cowell for winning Volunteer of Year. There is no one in the club with a bigger heart and engine than David Cowell. It is simply breathtaking to watch his unlimited energy and the breadth of things he gets involved in with the club.
Congratulations to Tony " for winning Administrator of Year. From my perspective, one of the most important areas in the club that improved this year was administration and finance. Again, that was recognised by the branch. We are in a substantially better financial position than last season in part through Tony's efforts. Tony is an outstanding administrator.
Congratulations to Wet n' Wild for winning the Community Education Program of the Year. It was the second time that Wet n' Wild have won which again is not surprising given what that program achieves.
There were many other nominations from the club that would have been equally deserving but missed out. We had 25 members attend the dinner, nearly double the number from last year.
Thank you to Shannon Job for again being MC on the night. Well done!
I attach the nominations for Tony, David and Tracey so you can see what they have done.
Congratulations, commiserations and thank you!
regards,

For the Gold Telethon we hosted a young boy, Blake Heath from Leeton NSW, who had spent quite a bit of time at the Sydney Children's Hospital following a debilitating infection. His wish was to see the beach and be a volunteer surf lifesaver at North Steyne SLSC for the day. See how Blake went with the help of the team at North Steyne in the video. The fundraising event raised just over $6m and it is not too late to donate www.schf.org.au/gold-appeal-donate
See you on the beach again soon Blake. Great to see you getting well and living your dreams champion! Thankyou so much to the Novotel at Manly for hosting the Heath Family on their trip to Sydney. Awesome. ... See MoreSee Less
