In the October edition, we acknowledge the efforts of our volunteers at the 2023 Awards of Excellence, reflect on the graduation of eight Muslim men from a culturally-sensitive lifesaver training program, and examine the establishment of five regional Surf Sports Academies in line with the Surf Sports Re-imagined strategy.

We look ahead to the new season following the Raising of the Flags ceremony at Maroubra, congratulate the new Sharkskin NSW IRB Champions, and celebrate our success at the Rotary Emergency Services Community Awards.
