Congratulations to all our 2025 award recipients! Our annual Awards Night, held on Friday 16th May at Balgowlah RSL, was a fantastic evening of recognition and celebration.
A special thank you to Club Captain Dave Guthrie and Surf Sports Director Sarah Lally for co-hosting the evening as Masters of Ceremonies, and to everyone involved in making the night such a success behind the scenes.
Balgowlah RSL is, as always, generous in support for our club; a huge thank you to the staff for looking after us so well! It was also so pleasing that the President Graham Stone, along with long-standing Directors Des McAteer, John Garland and Dave OโBrien, could join us and assist with award presentations.
We were also honoured to welcome our VIP guests:
โ Caroline Holdstock, President of the Lions Club of Manly
โ Greg Bennett from Bennett Surf Co
โ Maree Norton Bennett from Nutrimetics
โ Northern Beaches Council Mayor, Sue Heins, and Councillor for Manly Ward, Sarah Grattan
Your continued support and presence mean a great deal to our club community.

Whether you patrolled, competed, coached, volunteered, or supported from the sidelinesโyour contribution is what keeps North Steyne strong. This season was filled with hard work, dedication, and team spirit, and weโre proud of what weโve achieved together.
To all our award winners โ your achievements this season have been outstanding. We look forward to whatโs to come as we continue to grow and excel at North Steyne.
