National Award:
More than 250 guests were on hand to honour Surf Life Saving’s best and bravest at the 2010 SLSA Awards of Excellence, held at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre on Saturday night, 21st August and it was our own Graeme Rollins that took centre stage.
Fresh from his 2010 USLSC "Best Club Person of the Year" and his regional "Tasmanian Volunteer of the Year" Award at the Tasmanian Awards of Excellence night on the 23rd July, Rolly completed the trifecta by taking out the prestigious "Australian Volunteer of the Year" award. This extract from the SLSA webpage goes a very small way towards highlighting the contribution that Rolly has made to to our club and the lifesaving movement in general.
"In honour of his outstanding contribution to Ulverstone Surf Life Saving Club in Tasmania, Graeme Rollins took out the DHL Volunteer of the Year award. Rollins has been a key member of Ulverstone SLSC for over 26 years, and has led the advancement of education and mentoring within the club."
Surf Life Saving Australia CEO, Brett Williamson OAM, paid tribute to all the award winners on the night and the important role all surf lifesavers play in keeping our beaches safe.
“The Awards of Excellence is a great opportunity to honour those surf lifesavers, administrators, athletes, coaches and surf life saving clubs who work tirelessly to keep our beaches safe throughout the year.
“All of the winners here tonight have made a significant contribution to Surf Life Saving, whether that be at a club, state or national level. I congratulate all of them for their commitment and hard work,” said Williamson.
