other tent should be used for patrols. The patrol tent
should only be taken down during patrolling hours if

can be gained:
Participation Proficiency- this award allows children to
participate in Surf Education/Club Nipper Programs.
All children are able to participate in beach activities
and once pool proficiency is complete they can
participate in water and beach activities. This
evaluation should be conducted in a safe aquatic
environment with a recommended 1:1 water safety

only6 2017 Sponsorship
Sponsors
As a Branch, we leverage the collective strength of
our 21 Clubs to secure major sponsorships which
go towards covering the costs of operating the
Branch and providing services to our Clubs. We
also receive funding from SLSA from our national
uniform sponsors DHL, Telstra and Westpac.
Again this income is retained by the Branch to
cover overheads. If it were not for these key
sponsorships, membership fees would be at least
$20 per member higher than they currently are and we
are grateful of their ongoing commitment to SLS.
We are fortunate to have a core of strong sponsors
committed to supporting our activities. Streets Ice
Cream have been a major sponsor now for over seven
years and recently helped us secure sponsorship
from Lipton Ice Tea (both Unilever Australia). We are
grateful to RFi this year who are again sponsoring
our Special Needs programs for the Surf Life Saving
School. Westfield Warringah Mall and Bill Buckle
group continue to support the Branch. Thank you
to Deputy wjo joined us last year for our Awards of
Excellence.
This year we were fortunate to secure grant funding
over three years from Dee Why RSL Club which will
cover the purchase and ongoing running costs of a
new Surf Rescue vehicle which will be used for our
Duty Officers and Community Education teams. We
also received a grant from the NSW Cancer Institute
which enables us to continue our combined Surf
Safety, Sun Safety education programs to schools
