This week’s meeting is on the roof patio of the Surf Club and is a partners Happy Hour. These are always popular especially at this time of the year.

Looks like we will be sponsoring two local Kiama boys for the Outward Bound course in April.

Last week members, family and friends enjoyed a beautiful late-summer evening at Jones Beach with a pizza party at Kiama Downs Surf Life Saving Club.

It was a great way to relax after a very busy Christmas/New Year period.

President David Chambers recently advised that now he has retired, he will be moving back to Tasmania next month to be closer to his children.

We are sad to see David go but wish him well in his retirement.

Past President David Smark will step in as President until the end of the year.

David Chambers had the pleasure of inducting Alan Schofield as an Honorary Member of the club.

It was a great opportunity to recognise Alan and thank him for his many years of dedicated service.

David also awarded Alan Waterworth a Paul Harris Fellow with a Sapphire Pin and Ian Johnston with a second PHF Sapphire Pin.

David commended both members for their service to the club.

The evening closed on a delightful musical note with our newest member, Karen Fuller, showing that she is a very accomplished acoustic guitarist.
