Centenary celebrations for lifesaving club
PORT Fairy Surf Life Saving Club will this weekend celebrate its centenary.
The club, which was formed in 1925, has played an integral role in the local community, with many families enjoying a long and proud association.
This Saturday’s celebrations will include historical life saving re-enactments, merchandise, and the official release of a 100 Year book.
The afternoon will also see a season launch at 4pm at the clubhouse and club president Adam McCosh will earlier unveil two new additions to the front exterior of the clubhouse.
“We are hoping a large crowd will enjoy the day’s celebrations, which will bring to light our surf life saving club’s proud and rich history,” club member Paul Buchanan said.
“Inside the clubrooms we will have a wonderful display of memorabilia for visitors to browse through and on the water we’ll have life saving demonstrations along with (hopefully) IRB and board rescues.”
Visitors to the club can also enjoy a free barbecue lunch.
A special ‘centennial celebration’ dinner has been planned for Saturday night at Charlies Restaurant on East Beach (all welcome but bookings are essential).
“Fingers crossed we’ll have fine weather on Saturday and the community will come out and see our wonderful facility and all that the club has on offer,” Paul said.
“Our membership is strong, from our Nippers through to our adult competition teams.
“The Port Fairy Surf Life Saving Club has enjoyed great success over the years and our doors are always open to visitors and new members.”
