PRESIDENT'S REPORT 

It makes me very proud 10 present our 52 nd Annual report. This is something I thought I'd 

never have 10 do, but 1 am pleased to be doing il. 

Once again Ihis season was a busy one for us with some 3900 hours spent on patrol or 

training for patrol duties. and approximately 800 hours spent on administration. SLS NSW 

have calculated dollar values for the various categories. Using those val ucs Long Reefs 

contribution comes at approximately $94,000 worth of community service. The nine 

Waningah Clubs contributed a lotal of approximately $ 1.35 million of community service. 

When looking at these figures it is important to take into account the fi nance involved not 

only in running each clu b but also the cost in volved of maintaining our club houses. The 

Waningah clubs this season spent approx. $388,000 in eith er maintaining th eir club houses or 

in capital expenditure on their cl ubhouses. We have been fortunate over recent years and have 

not had to spend much at all 011 our club, after having done our last major renovation and 

additions some 12 years ago. In comparison. Warringah COllllcil has $ 100,000 in its budget 

fo r capital expenditure or general maintenance of the nine Surf Club buildings within in the 

Warringah area. 

Long Reef this season had 180 senior mcmbers (85 rostered on patrols) and 210 nipper 

members. Tt wou ld certainly be an achievement for this club to hit the 100 patrolling member 

target, one we should try for next season by continuing to gradually increasing our active 

membership. Thi s is now being made easier by having a very strong Nipper program in 

operation. So far we have been able to retain the vast majority of Nippers who have become 

old enough to advance to our senior ranks. 

This season saw record number of junior members. I welcome all of you to our club and hope 

you enjoy it for many years. Bruce Gaal was handed the job of introducing our new juniors to 

the senior ranks. This is not an easy task but we proved to have Ihe right person on the job to 

handle this. However. I would like the '"buddy system" to be more prominent than it is 

currently. The "buddy system" sees senior members assigned to junior members just to help 

them into the senior ranks. 


My thanks also, to Kei th Henry and hi s nipper organising team, for keeping our Nippers keen 

and enthusiastic year after year. It is also an achievement when you have parents knocking on 

the door wanting their children in vo lved with our nipper program. 

The club in general is on a very sound footing. Renewed enthusiasm in the managemenl 

proved to be the difference thi s season. Our Club Captain Stephen Cox, and the Vice 

Captains, Andrew Robson and Doug Lucas, excelled in executing their duties this season. 

These three members are major assets to this club and we all owe them a great deal of 

gratitude. Stephen, Andrew and Doug all picked up major awards this season and deservedly 

so. 

To our award winners this season, congratulations, and thank you for your efforts. We only 

get out of this club what we put into it, and to be awarded an achievement trophy is an 

outstanding effort. 

To be nominated for our main awards is an achievement in itself, let alone winning an award. 

Somethi ng we haven't done in the past is to announce the nominees for each award. 

Personally, I think this is an injustice, so below I have listed all nominees. Where just the 

winner is listed then that person was the only nomination.

Also we thank ABB, Vivendi, BP and NSW Sport & Recreation for your involvement in our 

club. 

The clubs competitors played hard all season. Tom Rees, winner of the Branch Junior Beach 

sprint was by far the stand out and congratulations to Tom. We had man y starters in the 

Branch Master Championships with several competitors winning medals. Even some of OUf 

nipper parents fronted for a run and a swim in the Masters. This is great to see. Perhaps we 

can do more than just row boats! 


EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT 

Congratul ations to ALL. Everyone that did patrols, the Club Captain and Vice Captains, the 

Management Committee, the President, the Nipper Parents, the competitors, those who 

achieved awards, the Instructors, the HBI 's, the fund raisers and the sponsors. 

A huge amount of effort is ex pended to provide a safe beach environment and to be part of a 

wonderful community lifestyle that transcends all walks of life, age groups and backgrounds. 

The great shame, in the big picture, is that the State Government provides no support for Surf 

Li fe Saving and the local Council, through their own financial mismanagement, proposed 

changes that would cause Surf Clubs to provide income to the Council for any commercial 

activity that would provide some financial independence. LillIe wonder competitive talent 

sells itself to the banana benders whose governments actively and financiall y promote Surf 

Lifesaving. 

That makes OUR efforts to provide the services we do all the more sensational. 

For the following season the Board is looking at ways to improve communication, increase 

our finances, reduce patrol repetition and make Ollr time at Longy more enjoyable. 

Congratulations to ALL. 

Bruce Gaal 

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 

Our overall standing with the Branch also improved. Our position improved from 20 th out of 

21 clubs last season to 14th this season. It took an overall club effort to achieve th is 

improvement, and I personally thank you all. 

I wish the club well in its endeavours next season. I have enjoyed my first season as President 

and thank all who have helped me. I look forward 10 continuing our progress next season. 

Ian Waterhouse

SECRETARY'S REPORT 

In my second year as Club Secretary, it is pleasing to observe the retention of Nippers and 

members to help strengthen the club. 

It is a credit to a voluntary organi zation such as Long Reef to provide such a magnificent 

service to the public considering the lack of Government support that is available. 

Many thanks to everyone on the Committee for their efforts in submitting their annual reports. 

Special thanks to Jan and Bnlce, Eileen for her support as Assistant Secretary, Sandra Di ggins 

fo r the report cover, Richard Van Weeren and Dynamic Press for the pri nting of the Annual 

RCpOl1 and the Committee as a whole for their support and guidance. 

I look forward to seein g you all next season.

Incorporation Act NSW. I disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this report or on the 

financial report to which it relates to any person other than the members, or for any purpose other than that for 

which it was prepared. 

My audit has been conducted accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. My procedures included 

examination, on a test basis, of evidence supporting the amounts and other disclosures in the financial report 

and the evaluation of significant accounting estimates. These procedures have been undertaken to fo rm an 

opinion whether, in all material respects, the financial report is presented fairly in accordance with the 

accounting policies described in Note 1 so as to present a view which is consistent with my understanding of 

the Association's financial position, and performance as represented by the results of its operations and its cash 

flows. These policies do not require the application of all Accounting Standards and other mandatory 

professional reporting requirements in Australia.

In my opinion, the financial report presents fairly in accordance with the accounting policies described in Note 

1 to the financial statements, the financial position of Long Reef Surf Life Saving Club Inc. as at 30 April 2002 

and the results of its operations for the year then ended. 

However, as a large part of the Club's income is represented by cash from fund raising and functions, I am unable 

to confinn as to whether all income has been received and properly recorded in the books of account. My audit 

relating to such income Was therefore limited to ensuring that the amounts banked are properly recorded in the 

accounts. Accordingly, I do not express an opinion on whether all fund raising income has been banked, and I 

cannot determine the effects of such adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had lhis 

limitation not existed.

CLUB CAPTAIN'S REPORT 

52nd ANNUAL REPORT & BALANCE SHEFr 

Congratulations to al l our members, both young and old, for once again keeping the flagged 

areas and their immediate environs safe for the public. EVERYBODY deserves a clap on the 

back. 

Standard of patrols thi s year were high with great many younger members making their 

presence felt both in the patrols and in the ranks of the cadets. The normal stalwarts of patrols 

keep on patro ll ing which is very heartening to see, shore patrols remain a vital part of our 

team , and our new nipper parents and bronze candidates have hit the ground running. 

Use of the quad bike this year has helped remove the burden of lugging the gear and boats 

over the sand dune and has proved very effective. After all these years we may have that 

#%*@sanddunelicked!!! 

As is always the case a Cl ub Captain will never last through the season and stay sane without 

the support of his Vice captains, in my case Doug Lucas and Andrew Robson. I can safely say 

that these two guys were a godsend and helped me inuneasurably. As has been stated on 

previous occasions the effort, dedicat.ion and professionalism that these two guys have put in 

all year is incredible. Thanks guys. 

Finally, I invi te everyone to continue their association with Long Reef next year. Longy and 

the people associated wi th it hold a special place in my heart and I look forward to seeing YOLI 

there next year!!!

REGISTRAR'S REPORT 

Membership is healthy at Long Reef this season. Ni ppers is going from strength to strength. 

The training of Water Safety Officers is cru cial and as we recruit more parents to do their 

Bronze Medalli on and then act as Water Safety Officers, we can accept more children as 

Nippers. We have lSI Nippers registered this season. 

Not included in the above numbers are our fourteen year old cadets who are included in the 

2S Under 16 members. Bruce Gaal ha s run another great programme for these kids over the 

season and I commend him for his effot1s. The most difficult age to keep members is the 16to 

18 year old group & this is evidenced by the 10 members we have in this group. Hopefully if 

we cominue to run successful programmes we can hold more youngsters as they progress up 

10 th is group. Tom Rees. our Junior Captain deserves a special menti on here for hi s 

enthusiasm in carrying out the duties of this position. 

Shore Surf Li fe Saving continues in strength with 51 Under 16 members & 25 Under 18 

members. Congratulations to Nigel Scozzi & his team for another successfu l season with 

Long Reef. 

Active membership stands at 61, steady overall, with a good & mature base. Other 

memberships are 12 Active Reserve, 17 Associate (including Shore staf!), 35 Long Serving 

Members. 7 Country members and II Life Members. Another "changing face" of 

membership at Long Reef is that we now have 44 Family Membershi ps. 

During the season Surf Life Saving New South Wales introduced Complete Patrol Logger, a 

database system to be used by all Clubs on line. This resulted in a lot of work to transfer 

information across from our own old Q&A database. This has now been completed, but there 

are still a number of "bugs" in the CPL. which are slowly being sorted. 

My thanks to Helen Van Weeren, Eve Watson, Jynell Mair & Lindy Hardcastle who al l 

helped with Nipper registration thi s season and to Cath MacDougall who ably carried out the 

role of Treasurer, whi ch made my job much easier. My thanks al so to all members who paid 

their fees on time, again making the job easier to do. 

This season you wi ll receive new Membership Forms and al so an In vo ice for fees, which are 

all generated by the new CPL database. Please fill in any mi ssing information and check your 

email address if you have one. If you ha ve a new email address please print it c1early- the old 

eyes aren't what they used to be.

CHIEF INSTRUCTOR'S REPORT 

What a successful year we've had, with a range of awards being earned by a range of people. 

from Cadets to Nipper Parents to existin g Bronze Medallion holders 11! This season. we saw 

the completion of 23 Bronze Medallions, 4 Surf Rescue Certi ficates, 3 IRB Dri vers Silver 

Medallions, 3 IRB Instructors, 3 Training Officers. 3 Patrol Captains Silver Medallions, 2 

Advances Rescue Certificates and 2 Life Support Silver Medallions. 

I have been extremel y fortunate during my first season as Chief Instructor, receiving a 

significant amount of help on both the training and organisational front from Stephen Cox. 

Doug Lucas, Andrew Robson, Chris Arcus and Jason Benn. Without the dedication of these 

people, my task would have been a considerable challenge. 

Coxy assumed the Chief Instructor role on my behalf for the first couple of months of the 

season, whi lst I was unable to dedicate the requisite time. It was a great start to the season. 

with 2 squads of Nipper parents successfull y completing their Bronze Medallion. This meant 

more water safet y attendants were avai lable for Sunday morning Nippers 11 

Our next Bronze squad consisted of 5 brand new members - Peter Crevlin. Ric Eggins. Jarrod 

Frowde, Katie Arcus and Paul Rutten. This group completed their training and examinations 

in a relatively short period of time over the ChristmaslNew Year Period. The training of this 

squ ad was very timely, with the 5 members being slotted into patrols who were struggli ng 

with numbers. 

Early in the New Year, Doug and Robbo commenced training for a large group of juniors and 

cadets, which involved training both Bronze Medallion and Surf Rescue Certificate (S RC). 

They managed thi s with ease, successfully training 4 SRC candidates - Kim Waterhouse. 

Bronwyn Jones, Kate Rudolph and Samantha PetTY , and 4 Bronze candidates - Doug GaaL 

Elisse Marshal , Amanda Gibson and Sarah Fletcher. The successful completion of this squad 

meant that Robbo and Doug also earned their Instructors Certificate. Through training a group 

of Shore boys. Tom Rees also gained hi s Instructors Certificate. 

In tota l, we successfully trained 23 Bronze Medallion candidates, which wi ll in turn have 

considerable positi ve impact on patrol numbers and Nipper supervision for future years. The 

trai nin g of the SRC candidates is terrific grou nding for the Bronze Medalli on. and I sincerely 

hope that the SRC ho lders commence their Bronze Medallion as soon as they are eligible. 

21


Ha vi ng such a l:J.rgc quantity of new memberships is a great boost to the club, helping 

securi ng its longevity. 

We al so saw the successful completion of olher awards. Tom Rees, Doug Lucas and Andrew 

Robson received their IRS Drivers, which proved to be a considerable benefi t when it came to 

training new Bronze Medallion candidates in IR S rescues. Robbo spentlireless hours in the 

IRS. both training and driving for exams. His driving was instrumental in the successful 

completion of a part 3 exam, which was held in very difficult condit ions. 

Congratulations to Eileen and Margaret fo r completing their Life Support, Silver Medall io n, 

as welt as to Stephen Cox, Doug Lucas and Andrew Robson for completing their IRE 

Instructors.

Club Members earned 43 awards this season, which is a great feat and encouraging for the 

future. Congratulations to alt award recipients, and once again, sincere thanks to those who 

assisted with the train ing. 

As a final note, I would li ke 10 recognise previous years' efforts in building and fostering 

relationships with examjners from other Clubs, particularly South Narrabeen. We have 

certainly reaped the benefits this year - we were able to find examiners for the 43 awards with 

relative ease. It is a reciprocal relationship, with both sides benefiting, and we should continue 

to build and strengthen such relationships. 

Thanks and congrarulations !!!

NIPPERS REPORT 

Another great season saw Ollr nipper memberships grow from 165 last year to an incredible 

205 registrations. We thought a cap of 180 would stretch all of our reserves and withoUllhe 

support of man y parents who vol unteer their lime as water safety officers, age group 

manage rs and beach assistan ts, the season wou ld have been very difficult indeed. This season 

saw Long Reef Nippers taking part in greater numbers at two Junior Branch Carni va ls with 

some great results. The nippers season was capped off once again with a fantasti c 

presentation day. The followi ng week the 2nd hugely successful Viva Las Longy Fundraising 

ni ght was held. It is essential for ongoing success of our nippers program that the parents 

additional assistance with water safety and beach events is volunteered each season.

Christmas Party 

This years christ mas party was held on the 22nd of December, twighlight nippers was held 

before Santa arrived on the back of the new 4X4 Quad bike with si rens blazing. Santa handed 

out a treat to each nipper and afterwards the magician had everyone enthralled (includi ng all 

the parents)with a terrific show of fire eating and tricks. The sausages sizzled and everyone 

had a great time. A special th ank you to Clarkey for once again ensu ri ng Santa arrived safely.

Club Presentation Day 

Presentation day was on the 9 th of March and was a great success and with over 200 

presentations it was a big day. The list below has the winners of the handicap results and club 

championship. All other chjldren that parti cipated also received an award. 

Carnivals 

The first branch carniva l of the season at Qucenscliff saw the bi ggest conti ngent of nippers 

from Long Reef with a swag of great results. The entire under 8s group parti ci pated 

accounti ng for 38 of the 66 entries. Strong showings had many white and blue caps in the 

finals, the under 8 girls nag final had five Longy Nippers in it, more than any other club. The 

under 12 girls relay team also finished 3 rd . 

At the second carnival at Manly towards the end of January the numbers were down due to 

the school holidays, however with 38 entries Long Reef was well represented once again. 

Long Reef Nippers were in many fina ls and wi ll benefit from the experience gai ned from 

competition at this level. Sophie Hardcastle won the first nipper branch medal in the under 8 

flags, coming 3 m and made it into three fina ls in both call1i vals. Our strong showing took 

many by surprise, including the kids themselves. Hopefully next year we can continue to 

participate in branch carnivals in greater numbers and still maintain the Long Reef relaxed 

attitude to competition. The si deshow sl ide and Johnny Bravo give aways on the promenade 

will make it a day to remember for most of the nippers who attended. 

Many thanks to Phil Reeves who did a great job again this year for his weekly input as the 

organi ser of the handicap and championship pointscores. Phil's carnival assistance, ordering 

and presentation of the annual awards. 

Both days had fa ntastic weather and perfect surf conditions for kids. The age group managers 

for each group were terrific, assist ing each child for their event and location, thanks everyone. 

My special lh anks to Neil Ainsworth and Will Hardcastl e for their great effo rts in setting up 

the beach and organiSing the carnival days. 

We will continue to enter in to 2 branch carnivals per season in December and Jan uary. We 

will need to lodge the entries early and request confirmation of ent ries from the beginning of 

the season.

JUNIOR CAPTAINS REPORT 

52nd ANNUAL REI'ORT & BA LANCE SHEET 

Well, another season has slipped away into the hi story of Long Reef. The 'Junior' section of 

the Club continues to produce milestones. Today junior members are a separate squad, 

independent of the Nipper organisation. The Rookie (U 16) program is another recent addition 

to the club, beginning in the 99/00 season, before which the advanci ng nippers had no 

program for themselves. It has taken till now for Long Reef to have a reasonable turnout in 

numbers in fact there has been an eight-fold increase. This season Long Reef had 48 

candidates rangi ng from ages of 14 to 18 in comparison to the 6 cand idates in the 99/00 

season. 

During the season Sarah Fletcher represented Long Reef in the annual Dee Why swim and 

won the opens women event by a clear margin. Congratulations go to her. Also Doug Gaal 

and I competed in the Branch carnival at Manly in events such as the swim, board, sprint and 

flags. The day was successfu l in that the representation remjnded the Branch and other 

competitor beaches that Long Reef cannot be discounted. 

A statisti c, which shows how important the j unior section of the Club is, comes from the Surf 

Lifesavin g organi sation. The records show th at each season 90% of all U14 - UI8 candidates 

leave the organi sation. Now we have foc ussed on thi s area and had some success, we at Long 

reef can differ from the average and excel. As the junior organisation is so new to the club, it 

is not set in its ways, therefore ideas and experiences are greatly appreciated. Any and all 

views should be voiced, for the good of the club. Ju niors stay with the club for different 

reasons, but few really real ise that not everybody has to be an athlete. There are man y other 

paths of 0pp0l1unity available such as, instruction, patrolling. social event organising and so 

on .. It is a conUllUnity based interest group. 

We hope that the junior program wi ll, in perhaps another season, become a major source and 

strength to the club, producing numerous patrolling members. Already thj s season we had two 

squads of instruction. Surf Rescue Certificate and the Bronze Medallion. Congratulations go 

to those who passed. 

Continuing thi s deve lopment theme, Long Reef now has a strong organisationaJ link through 

the Branch Youth Panel. It meets every month to di scuss issues of youth relations. such as 

why the '90% drop out' rate, how \0 make SLS more inviting and minor th ings such as exam 

procedure. Also the panel is in charge of Rookie leadership camps that run in the holidays. Of 

value is the fact that these can also lead to Du ke of Edinburgh Awards. The Youth Panel itself 

is only a recent introduction, so it also needs nurturing and attention. I hope Long Reef will 

continue to be represented at this Panel in the future an d have its views heard even though it is 

one of the smaller clubs in the Branch. 

As always the Shore school continued its activity record. bringi ng in 26 passes in the Bronze 

Medallion. 26 passes in SRC (Surf Rescue CeI1jficate), 12 passes in ARC (Advanced 

Resuscitation Certificate), 8 passes in TOC (Training Officer Certificate), and 5 IRB passes. 

Medals wcre won from Branch to Nationals, rangin g fro m surfing to sprints to R&R. 

Unfortunately the competitors were not always representin g Long Reef. I hope in the future 

th at we can build the non-Shore junior members to a posi tion where they can match the size, 

standard and interest of the Shore members. Thi s can only be achieved through the conLinuing 

interest and dedication of the Senior and more ex perienced members of the club. Their help 

this yeaf has been most appreciated. Thankyou to Bruce Gaa!. Doug Lucas, Andrew Robson, 

Kri stic Thomas, Stephen and Kathryn Cox for your time and effort this season. to all those I 

have unintentionally failed to menti on and also to the juniors themselves. whose enthusiasm 

will ensure a bright future.

ANNUAL DINNER PHOTOS 

52nd ANNUAL REPORT & BAlANCE SHEET 

Ju st a quick note to the membership to thank them for their attendance at the various fun ctions 

throughout the season. They were mostly well attended and we feel th at is where the hemt and 

soul of the club is reflected. 

We have enjoyed making each occasion first class and special. 

Th e BBQ and beer afternoons were infrequent but a great way to relax . Perhaps we should 

have them on a more regular basis. The gaming ni ght was fantastic and a great financ ial 

success. The annual dinner was fun and a bit different, as it shoul d be each year. However if 

you can remember back that far the Christmas cocktail party was bcller attended than it has 

been in years and probably ensured its success next year with the performance of the 

'magician', 

The hall continues \0 be hired out producin g a small cashtlow to the cl ub . Let's hope that 

cash flow stays in our pockets and not in anyone else's.

52/ld ANNUAL REPORT & BALANCE SHEET


BOA T CAPTAIN'S REPORT 

The season kicked off with a high degree of enthusiasm largely thanks to Stephen Cox (Coxy) 

who was keen to follow on from hi s spectacular 4th round exit in the 200 1 national 

championships, and see if he could add any more spectacular boalie scars to his coll ection 

(how many sweeps can say thei r wife has a scar above her eyebrow which required 5 stiches 

care of a Longy surfboat). 

52nd ANNUAL REPORT & BAL4.NCE SHEET 

Naturally the old boys maintained thei r desire for boatie immortality and it was great to see 

Mal MacCormick, Dave Sams, Bruce Gaal and Peter Kin sey on the water again ("Age shall 

never weary us"). 

---------- 

It was a pleasure to seen a new band of boaties enj oying time on the end of an oar. Simon 

Kinsey found his calling stroking the open men's I$t reserve crew along wi th the famil iar 

faces of Brad Anderson (Kenn y-returned from the Refo's of yesteryear), Larry and Titta. Kath 

Cox grabbed herself a powerful engine room in Andrew Robson (Robbo) and Doug Lucas 

while Hamish McMichael followed in Nude's footsteps at the pointy end of the boat. 

Some noteworthy exceptions from the boatie contingent for the season were 

~ Nudist - some excuse about opening Sydney's newest and most remarkable Pub 

as the licence of the Art House 

~ Cath Dougall - a relaxed season rowing masters with another friendl y club. 

~ JB - taking time out to spend with Eileen and their son Nicholas 

~ Dougall - taking up boatie photography 

~ Adam - European touring duties 

Hopefully these are all just minor di sturbances and these individuals will be back for 

200212003. However there is a solid rumour that Eileen will fill in for JB if he does not cl aim 

a seat early!. 

Competition commenced with some rather dubious electrical repairs followed by equally 

dubious navigation (thanks Larry) so uth of the big coat hanger. Finally the latest Kinsey 

boatie was on the start line at Wanda, Guns Up, Racing ... well actuall y lying with ones head 

in the boltom of the boat with legs fl ailing in the air. .. a lesson well learnt and followed up 

with a fine row to place third, progressing to win the next round and secure a place in the semi 

final. 

While it is often said that a Longy boat shouldn' t cross any bridge (apart from one spanning 

Narrabeen lagoon!) to altend a carnival the Longy Boys showed a few more highly 

credentialed crews the finer points of rowing. 

There was little else to report prior to Christmas apart from one boatie, who shall remain 

nameless, proving that any form of cross training can seriously damage you prospects for the 

season ( it was probably time for lhal second knee reconstruction anyway! ). The other 

noteworthy event was Hamish being captured south of the bridge by a lovely young lady and 

handing over his seat 10 Robbo's brother, Paul (welcome another Longy Boati e! ). 

An early highlight of the true competition season was the Manly carnival which turned on 

some of the most spectacular boat rowing seen for many years. One oarsman, on hearing that 

the swell was up, knocked back the offer of a weekends skiing in the French Alps to make it 

back in time for the carnival!. 

He was not disappointed as two to three metre swells pounding imo the sandbar about 150 

metres from shore providing a formidable challenge, Coxy calmly took Titta's crew out for a 

warm-up which lasted a little longer than planned as each of the crew members spem a lazy 

20 minutes swimming back to shore in a rip with an oar! . As the tide dropped things became 

more challenging on the back break and despite many powerful attempts, Hughie. the God of 

surf, sent most crews home a little the worse for wear. Longy was no exception .. 

The Manly call1i vai does however require a special mention for the Longy lRB crews who 

provided almost all the water safet y in the boatie area for the event - a magnificent display of 

world class rescue and recovery services. I would challenge any other club or "professional" 

lifeguard service to come even close to thi s performance. 

The Longy Chick' s crew regained some international navour for the season with Karen 

Brackstone stealing Jill's stroke seat, Jill in 2nd stroke along wi th Dan and Raechel Kinsey. 

The next bi g event was the Branch Championships at Bil go la. The format was a break with 

tradition and he ld as a boalie on ly event which was rather disa ppointing as it is ni ce 10 be able 

to pass comment at the less noble pursuits and the Chicks always seem 10 enjoy the ski 

paddlers (but only above the waist!). 

A new 120's crew was Formed for lhe day with JB. Kenny, myself and Tittll. a flying start had 

all the other crews wonderi ng exactly why they had bothered to get out of bed but Hughie


decided that the Longy lads needed a proper workout for their first ever row as a crew. Neck a 

neck all the way with a little wave for the Manly boys to steal viclOry - Silver for the Reef. 

The trustworthy old boys collected Gold to add 10 the every expanding trophy cabinet, and 

both reserve crews and the chicks enjoyed a solid days boat racing. 

State Championships found the boaties huddling alongside the boat as the southerl y blew and 

squalls of rain hammered down at Blacksmiths Beach. Swansea Belmont - th is was however 

a pleasant change from being stuck in an air conditioned box starri ng blankly at a Pc. 

Thursdays competition say the old boys add Bronze 10 the cabinet as a warmup for Fridays 

Reserve grade competition. An early start saw three Longy men's crews in aClion. Cath Cox's 

reserve grade crew's comfortable 2 nd placing in the first round had many crews with all men 

wondering whether to trade their stroke in for a boatie chick as thi s configuration obviously 

made you row faster. This was obviously the explanation, as the crew also had to overcome 

an unfit bowman rowing with only one good knee!. 

52nli ANNUAL REPORT & BALANCE SHEET 

steroid munching ni ghtcl ub bouncers. Simon Kinsey discovered new ta lents thanks to the 

careful tutorship of Brakkers at the Casino and has now been allocated an official Longy 

Name ~ everyone please welcome BI G T IME. 

Back in the social arena Doug Lucas was willing to take on an interesting challenge, once 

again with the careful tutorship of the Longy Boatie Chicks. This quest involved an item of 

clothing being ident ified and then Doug being sent out to do whatever it took to recover the 

item and return wearing it. T ight fitting items of female clothing were the most common 

challenge and Doug's performance was nothing short of amazing - super effort from the 

Longy tribe which once again led the charge and established new boundaries for socially 

acceptable behaviour! 

Sweeps for the season were Ross Jenkins, Coxy, Ian Waterhouse and occasional guest 

appearances from Jas Benn. If any Club Member can find Ross a new job for 2002/3 based a 

liule closer to the Reef than China us boaties will be vcry grateful! 

Coxy also had to trade in hi s relaxing position at the back of the boat and remember exactly 

how long a race was hanging on the end of an oar to fill in for Titta who had embarked on a 

radical weight loss programme care of a mystery virus. 

The Longy chicks delivered the best performance for the day making it to the quarterfin als 

prior to enjoying a well earned beverage with the rest of the crews. 

The Australian Championships were held once again althe abominable Kurrawa. It is a great 

shame that the current generation of boaties is being subjected to this ongoing monotonous 

tonure on one of the most unfair and uninteresting stretches of the Australian coastline. OK 

I've said my piece and hopefully I will live and be rowing long enough to once again enjoy 

touring to championship events all over our magnificent country. 

The old boys travelled north with high hopes of defending their National Championship in the 

200's. Alas it was time to hand on the crown and they exited in the semi finals - I'm sure luck 

will return in 2003. Both reserve grade crews enjoyed the competition with Titta's crew 

showing a marked improvement. The conditions were somewhat unfavourable for our ladies 

crew bu t they then redirected their focus and 

well in the social arena. 

Mathew Pickeri ng, the Chaplin at Shore School and a south coast boatie in times past, also 

deserves a special men ti on. He has kindly offered onc of the Club's older boats a home at 

North Sydney and regu lar ou tings on Sydney Harbour with a enthusiastic crew of Shore 

lifesavers. If the early indications are anything 10 go on it looks very promising for a 

competitive under 19's boat crew (or two!) next season. 

As a final note I would like to encourage any Club members who has an urge to jump in a 

surf boat to contact Coxy or myself. 1n all seriousness it will be some of the best fun you will 

ever have and nothing beats the exhilaration of catching a big wave with four fellow Long 

Ruffians. 

See you out the back!

COMPETITION CAPTAIN'S REPORT 

The 2001-2002 season was the first and hopefully the last without IRB competiti on. It not 

only left club members restless over the winter. it also meant that there were fewer vis its to 

the medal presentation podium by Long Reef members. 

While the surf boat crews were not as successful this year (it is hard to do better than lasl 

seasons Aussie GOLD) their enthusiastic participation and fun loving antics never seem to 

fade. May this tradition continue without criticism for many more seasons to come. 

Traditionally Long Reef is rather slack in all other fomls of competition. However, this year 

maybe the beginning of a turn around. Nippers competed at our Branch carnivals with some 

surprising results. 

The Branch Championships at North Steyne provided the opportunity for a happy bunch of 

Long Reef Masters (i.e. active members >30 years) to have some fu n. 

Medal winners were:- 

Scott McLaughlin 

Stephen Cox 

Phil Watson 


Silver 40-44years men 's beach flags 

Bronze 30-34years men's beach sprin t 

Gold 30-34years men's beach Oags 

Bronze 30-34years men's beach flags 

Silver 3S-39years women's beach sprint. 

Other competitors worthy of honourable mentions were Bruce Gaal, David Garren, Michael 

Fielding, Seamus Redmond and Peter Smith. l hope to see you all relUrn for more next 

season. We may even do a lillie training and brush up on the rules. ego the re lay. 

IRB CAPTAIN'S REPORT 


A most unr~markable sea~~n has passed with absolutely nothing spectacular to report. Due to 

the suspensIOn ofCOmpetlllOn the lack of , activity in this area has produced a flat feeling 

amongst 'duckie' enthusiasts. 

2002 saw the arrival of the BP IRS which brings the number of ducks up to four. Having four 

ducks does have its advantages. Twice now we have used all four ducks in the water at once 

to ra i ~e money for the club. The duty boat role at the Man ly surf carnival was a great 

expenence for those who participated and our competence in these machines was praised by 

boat rowers and beach officials alike. 

Maintenance of boats and motors was a constant task. Salt air was the biggest enemy of the 

motors and over innation was the enemy of the ducks. However as the season draws to its end 

all wi ll be sea worthy. 

New guidelines for IRB racing are in the pipeline, which should be good news for those 

enthusiasts. 

A complete overhaul of the qualification system is also ready to be implemented. This will 

change the requirements for those who wish 10 crew or drive at patrol and race level. 

A number of members gained their drivers license during the season (congratulations) but atl 

bronze holders should qualify. 

Yours in Ducks 

Pele Selosse 

IRB CAPTAIN 

Once the veterans were off the beach three very brave younger active members faced the 

much tougher open competition. Lucy Bartipan took on a fierce field of amphibians in the 

open women's surf race while Doug Gaal ballied a bullying bunch of Under 16 year a ids in 

the board race. 

However, the glory of the day went to Tom Rees who had a massive field of Whale Beach 

competitors to whittle his way through one by one to win the gold medal in the under 19 years 

beach flags. Then only narrowly missed out in the placing's of the beach sprint with a 

gammy-hammy. 

Now that we have made a start we should carry this effort into the 2002-2003 season. There 

are a lot more carnivals locally and further a field. Unfortunately the age for masters 

competition has been raised to >3Syears. However, I know of a lot of active members and 

Nipper parents who could show their peers and kids that competition does not always mean 

winning, but having a go, being a good sport and having fun in the sun .

This summer proved \0 be a very mixed one with good and bad weather and surf conditions 

tlu'oughout the season. There were also a number of staff chan ges 

The Vth formers spent many afternoons completing a Train the Trainer course during their 

instruction of the bronze ;:Uld SRC groups. This did nOl work as well as doing the course 

before the season started and we will revert to the previous method next season so that senior 

boys are better prepared in their teaching ski ll s. We had to farewell Mr Mat Geyer at the end 

of tenn IV and he worked with Mr Bird in the running of the patrol competition. 

There was a heavy workl oad of instruction in Term IV 2001 with the influx of the Form 11 

students making a total of 4 Bronze and 2 SRC plus I ARC group .Success was not 

achieved by all despite the great organi sati onal skills of Mr Werakso who persevered along 

with Simon Ronald, Graeme Burns and old boy Tim Middleton to get the dozen or so fa il ures 

through to their awards in the early part of term I 2002. No student was able to get thei r fRB 

license in this part of the season but Scott Carroll trained a small group in preparation for their 

test in Term I 2002. Scott is in his third season with us si nce finish ing school and is back 

again as a coach on a regular basis in charge of the IRB. Mr Meakins also did some training 

in the boat with the aim of eventually getting his license. 

Overall the exam system appears 10 be seuling down with grealer consistency being shown 

by the Board of Examiners and both the students and the masters now have greater confidence 

in the process, however the groups did suffer with a shorter term making their job much 

harder. Some anomalies still exist especiall y in the scenarios part of the exam but we will 

have to learn to live with it. 

We were able to get the use of buses to Long Reef occasionally bUllhe weather made this of 

little use other than late in term IV although more regularly in term I. Their continued use is 

much appreciated by the boys alleviating the cramped confines of the pool at school with 100 

students trying to use the facility. This more regular ex posure to the ocean began to improve 

board paddling skills in particular and especially amongst th e younger group even though thi s 

has meant morc dings in the short tenn ! 

Two additions were made to the coaching staff in term J 2002 with Mr Chris Cook a long 

serving member of Queenscliff and North Narrabeen and Mr Mark Paul also of Ih e Notthern 

Beaches who achieved his bronze in tenn I. 

The patroll ers all passed their proficiency tests with no real problems. Mr Reynolds, who is a 

former Senior Instructor and Board of Examiners member, continued the new system where 

patrollers were wi thdraw n from patrol work to study for their A RC. The system was fine 

LUned in Term rv and term I so as to not disrupt the patrol competition. Mr Reynolds was 

also ab le to carry out ARC proficiencies and thi s aided the running of the activity at the start 

of the season.

sugary delights at the end of each Salurd ay. Scott Carroll worked with a number of students 

with the ultimate ai m the IRB award at t he end of the term, those training included :- Bill 

Clifton, Jordan Mailman, Nick Black an d one or two Vth fonners such as Dave Moore and 

Nick Payne doing early trajning for next season. 

The Open day was greeted with changea ble but improving weather conditio ns all owing the 

parent/son swim to go ahead. There wa s st ill a good turnout despite the poor weather at the

The palrollers continued to enjoy a variety of competiti on events in fierce competition for the 

Hugh Kesterton Award for Term I 2002. This included a continuation of 'The Best Wave' 

event where each patrol nominated a 4 malibu board riders. The surfboard event was 

competed for in smail, clean waves and enjoyed by all as students struggled 10 control the 

new equipment. A few students stood o ul including Sam Horder, Mitch Coghlan, Tim Smith 

and Tim Doyle. 

The Iron man event was won by James Bennett in term IV 200 land in a very close finish Sam 

Harder from Tom Allen in term I 2002. 

Thursday afternoons were used for most of the term with great effect at Long Reef. The 

younger boys especially appeared to improve their use of boards earning a few dings along 

the way. 

Shore was also very successful in this years inter schools carnival seri es. The first was he ld at 

Long Reef hosted by Shore and shorter second at Freshwater Beach hosted by Riverview on 

Friday night, [hat was not unfortunately competed in by Shore dure to a congested timetable 

of events resulting in the Ella Bache shield being determined by the o ne carni val hosted by 

Shore.

Shore continues to dominate the water event s but credit must go to the other schools who are 

improvi ng all the time and very often out perform us in the beach events. This year was no 

exception with probably our worst performances on the sand including relays and water flags. 

The water events were al so closer even though we managed to come out on top overall. 

Mr Bird was again extremely efficient in starting all of the carnival events along with the 

support Doug Lucas and Andrew Robson (both old boys an d members of Long Reef). The 

Instruction groups held many events amongst themselves as the main carnival was 

progressing so as to gel a fee l for what it will be like for them in the fu ture. The Shore parents 

did a great job again by providing a barbecue at each of our beach events and a big word of 

thanks must go to Mr and MrsRees for their great help this season. We were able to buy a 

num ber of malibus for the internal patrol competit ion and to create variety and enjoyment in 

the acti vity bought from the proceeds of the Open days organised by the Shore parents.

Many thanks should go to members of Long Reef SLSC. They assisted throughout the season 

and these include Steve Cox. Cath McDougall ,Todd Wiley, Huw Evans, Doug Lucas 

Andrew Robson and others. They helped out with patrol matters givi ng our boys the support 

they need on [he beach each Saturday. Peter Clark as always assisted us in all areas of the

S2nd ANNUAL REPORT & BAu\NCE SHEET 

All in all (he season was most enj oyabl e for both staff and boys. We all look forward to 

another season of good surf and weather plus a reminder that in Term IV any Form II boys 

who would like 10 join the sport may do so, rather than wait for their entry into form III as has 

been the case in Ihe past. There is still the also the possibi lity of Knox an d St Luke's 

competing in the Ella Bache seri es next year. 

A special mention also to Sam Ki ely, James Bennett. Ben Middleton, Tom Rees and Mitch 

Coghlan for winning medals at Branch and in some cases State and in Sam's case National 

championships.
