A fantastic evening with plenty of inspiring stories of dedicated and committed volunteers patrolling and keeping the glorious Central Coast beaches a safe place to
be for families to enjoy.
Freemasons on the Central Coast have had a long and healthy relationship over the years with Surf Life Saving Central Coast (SLSCC) providing assistance for essential
equipment from rashies to speedboats which has served local clubs enabling them to train and practice their valuable and lifesaving skills when required.
Surf Life Saving Central Coast have had another extremely busy year in patrolling our local beaches making them a safe and enjoyable place to spend free time all
monitored and managed by dedicated and committed volunteers.
Freemasons on the Central Coast are thrilled to be able to present two awards during the evening. The first being the ‘Rookie of the Year’ which was awarded to the newest Rookie on the Central Coast who has gone over and above in their development and commitment. Whilst there was only one winner of the award all nominations should be proud to be on stage to represent themselves and their club. The Rookie of the Year was awarded to India Darwin.
The second award was the ‘Freemasons Youth Athlete of the Year’ who was awarded to Davarna Marshall of Avoca Beach who has performed and exceeded standards of
athleticism participating in a huge range of competitions and Life Saving sports.
Freemasons on the Central Coast are pleased once again to be able to support and be involved with Surf Life Saving Central Coast and to continue our warm and close relationship going toward to provide assistance to such a dedicated organisation making our beaches safe.

To keep Central Coast beaches safe, Surf Lifesavers patrol beaches from September to April each year, spending ninety seven (97,000) volunteer hours patrolling the fifteen (15) accessible beaches from The Lakes in the North to Umina in the South. This year, our members performed one thousand six hundred and twenty nine (1,629) rescues with twenty two thousand, four hundred and sixteen (22,416) preventative actions. Since 1938, SLSCC has rescued over fifty thousand (50,000) lives.
It is thanks to the tireless efforts and dedication of the army of red and yellow volunteers that Central Coast beaches are amongst the safest in the world.
To save lives, create great Australians and build better communities on the Central Coast.
Freemasons on the Central Coast would like to take this opportunity to thank all members of SLSCC for all their hard work and continued commitment to keeping our beaches safe for our community.
