• Liz – Life Member

• Simon – Life Member and former president

• Bus trips to Hobart for Junior Carnivals, great club bonding events.

• Fond memories of using an Imperial 66 Typewriter when as State Registrar all age group certificates and records – no computers or printers in those days.

• Club fundraising events – Bingo, Chicken and Prawn Nights, wine drives, working bees, grape picking, Theatre Restaurants, numerous weddings the list goes on were all fun and enjoyable

• Watching Charlene Best, John McIver and Jack Latham win Australian Titles live were memorable moments.

Active First Aid and Radio Officer

As a long-serving member of the Ulverstone SLSC, I have been involved in many areas within the club both on and off the beach, working as a team manager, official and passionate supporter, as well as organising many club catering and fundraising events.

I have enjoyed travelling statewide and interstate to many carnivals.

I have met and shared long standing friendships, through being a member of Ulverstone SLSC and the fun times experienced are certainly wonderful memories.

I am currently the Club Registrar and Clothing Officer, but have held a number of other roles over the years:

• Club Secretary

• Club House Director

• Caterer

• Junior Team Manager

• State Registrar

I enjoy multiple aspects of the Ulverstone Surf Club, the Lifelong skills and friendships, the beach and the chance for everyone to be involved, there is something for everyone to do and be involved in.

Pray the weather is good!
