2025/26 Awards Night
With our club and members nominated across multiple categories at the Surf Life Saving SA Awards of Excellence, it is the perfect opportunity to celebrate our own club awards.
We were honoured to welcome special guests Ivan Short, along with Ros and Andrew DeGaris, whose presence added to the significance of the night and the recognition of our club’s achievements.
With the generous support of our wonderful Sponsors and Partners, we recently honoured the dedication, passion, and hard work of all our members.
Congratulations to everyone who received recognition for their outstanding efforts, and a heartfelt thank you to all who joined us on the night.
Please see a list below of the Awards and all recipients and a link to photos from the night.
