#EIDSHOW // Surf Life Saving NSW was a proud sponsor of this yearβs Annual Islamic Eid Show held in Bankstown.
The Community Education team, supported by our fantastic Multilingual Casual Presenters, hosted a stall to help deliver vital beach and surf safety messages across the three-day event.
The new Virtual Reality experience made its public debut and was a great success, and we had many great conversations and interactions with the public, hearing stories and learning of experiences at the beach that emphasise the importance of our presence at such events.
It was great to receive such positive feedback from the community and raise awareness of the organisation and the work of our volunteers on the beach.

#100YEARANNIVERSARY // On Saturday 30 April over 500 members of Palm Beach SLSC aged 18 to 89 came together for the clubβs Centenary Ball, celebrating 100 seasons of service to the community and club spirit.
Memories were shared of the people and events who have contributed to the club's journey from a borrowed shed with 13 members to the group that reopened a renovated clubhouse during last season and welcomed over 120 new membership applications.
The evening reflected on some of the traditions of the club and Surf Life Saving, including the re-enactment of an early photo from the archives. Congratulations and we look forward with excitement to the next 100 years!
