Queenscliff SLSC Club Awards recognising the invaluable volunteer contributions made by members every year is extremely important to Surf Life Saving and Queenscliff SLSC wishes to acknowledge these contributions.
Every year we hold our Annual Club Awards Presentation Night in June and then the recipients of certain awards are nominated by the club for the Sydney Northern Beaches SLS Awards of Excellence.
It is very important as a club that we appreciate and identify members who go above and beyond as many members who are quiet achievers. We would like you to nominate a fellow member who you think is an outstanding volunteer in any of the following categories so that we as a club can celebrate their contribution.
Nominations for all awards close on Friday, 14th April at 5pm.
Please note – these nominations will go to each Head of Areas to be reviewed and if supported, then will be presented to the Management Board to be approved.
