DAPHNE IS A WINNER!!!
Breaking news ... Daphne was woken up from her winter hibernation last weekend to the exciting news that the Coogee Jetty to Jetty Swim had been announced as the "Event of the Year" by ππππ
Very cool to win such an award - and it's nice to be able to recognise all of the hard work that goes in to delivering this event.
Congratulations to everyone involved from Cockburn Masters - this event is run entirely by volunteers. A dedicated Event Committee works all year round to meticulously plan each event and make it even better and more enjoyable every year. Supported brilliantly by 100+ volunteers from Cockburn Masters members and their families - it is the BEST example of a small community group giving back to the community on a large scale. ππππ
Massive thank you to the 2026 Event Committee - Peter (Race Director), Damian (Infrastructure), Tracey (Catering & Recovery Zone), Helen (Merchandise), Kelly (Secretary & Prizes), Nick (Event Coordination, Sponsorship & Finance), Jaye (Volunteers) & Georgie (Marketing) and to every single one of those volunteers who make this event so special.
DAPHNE WILL BE BACK NEXT YEAR BUT LOOK OUT FOR SOME EXCITING NEWS ABOUT THE 2027 EVENT TO BE ANNOUNCED VERY SOON !!! πππππππ
