2020 Surf Life Saving Illawarra Club of the Year - BULLI SLSC

On Saturday evening (27 June 2020) Surf Life Saving Illawarra hosted the 2020 Awards of Excellence via virtual social media due to Covid-19 restrictions.

What a great night for our surf club & its members when we were announced as ILLAWARRA SURF LIFE SAVING CLUB OF THE YEAR.

To make it even more enjoyable was the fact that the club was also acknowledged as ILLAWARRA PATROLLING CLUB OF THE YEAR.

Keith Caldwell (Club President) said, “ This was a very testing season for all surf life saving clubs, weather & surf for most part wasn’t the best during summer. Assisting with the South Coast Bush Fires & numerous Emergency Call outs really tested our members commitment & drive in helping the community. Throw on top hosting in December two weekends of high quality major surf sports events including the Kellogg’s Nutri Grain Iron Series & NSW Inter Branch Championships, it really showed what this surf club is all about. Team work to the fore, friendships for life and good quality family engagement. We also had members represent Australia, New South Wales & Illawarra in surf sports, members gained lifesaving awards to patrol our beach in the red & yellow uniform, plus our nippers had the best time they could. I think it really showed the other night when our award winners came from each section within surf lifesaving, namely life- saving, education, surf sports & member services.  I am so proud of how this club & its members keep raising the bar in excellence, commitment & dedication.”
