A job well done

As the season starts to wind down we can look back on the months past for both Noosa and Sunshine Beach, and despite the massive crowds, we say to both well done.

No lives were lost between the flags.

On Noosa’s Main Beach a major highlight has been the introduction of the beach mats courtesy of the Mayor, council and the Tewantin Noosa Lions. This gave those less fortunate, access to beach life that otherwise was virtually impossible thanks to those local bodies working together.

Another great success for Noosa has been the Seahorse Nippers.

Big thanks to those who helped these young children. The beach mats were a great assistance for parents. This great organisation, now in its 12th year, will have the first four Saturdays in October as its next season.

For Sunshine Beach, apart from their high standard of patrolling,( that saw them, when necessary, also doing rescue work in that devils’ playground Alexandria Bay) the big occasion was their 40th reunion celebration.

This was a great success, bringing those who started the club, and those who created and turned it into a reality, together. This club gave those who wanted to enjoy the beauties of their beach, the opportunities to do so in safety.

Next week we take a closer look at this fabulous historic Saturday.

The next big occasion for the competitors in both clubs will be the Australian titles in Perth from Saturday 24 to Sunday 2 April.

Good luck to both clubs.
