COMMUNITY
Major Sponsor for Newport Surf Club Surf Life Saving is a volunteer organisation that has ensured the safety of the surfing public on Australia's coast for the last hundred years. Newport Surf Life Saving Club has been patrolling our beautiful golden crescent since 1911. The volunteers are highly motivated and spend a fair amount of their spare time training and being trained in surf skills, resuscitation and first aid. Another way surf life savers improve their skills and fitness is through competition, on surfboards, swimming, surf skis and surfboats.
Competition is also a means of attracting members to patrol the beach. Newport SLSC are very fortunate in having Sheldon Office Interiors as a major sponsor. With their support we have been able buy equipment, including a new boat, to ensure our surf boat crews are able to compete at the highest level. Our senior men’s and women’s crews winning various championships during the last two seasons.
Even more importantly has been the surge in numbers in our junior (under 19) rowers, both male and female. Of the fifty rowers in the club, twenty are under 20, increasing their strength and fitness and learning the important life skills of application, communication and teamwork. Many thanks to Peter and all the team at Sheldon Office Interiors for their support and helping us at Newport maintain the proud tradition since 1911 of 'no lives lost' while patrols are on the beach.
