Congratulations to all RB SLSC winners!

Congratulations to all winners recognized at the Rainbow Beach Surf Club AGM last month when volunteer lifesavers were awarded for their efforts of the previous season.

Club President Shane Handy said: “I was glad to see so many come along to the annual awards and for all the time and effort that the members put into the club.

“Congratulations to those who went the extra mile and received awards on the week-end and thank you to the club for bestowing on me a life membership, it is greatly appreciated.

Club Captain Tas McClintock: “Everyone had an outstanding year and did a great job under the circumstances.

“Congratulations to all our members, winners and to Shane Handy for the honour of receiving a life membership this year, well deserved for all the great effort he puts into the club.

“We are always looking for new members so for anyone wanting to join, call the office for upcoming courses and information.
