Club Captain’s Report, 2023
As a Club we have had a very interesting, challenging and exciting past 12 months but the achievements have superseded the challenges by a long way.
Lifesaving South Africa National Championships 2023
The DHL Lifesaving South Africa National Championships were held from 30 March to 5 April 2023 at Kings Beach, Port Elizabeth. Plett Surf entered a strong contingent of Nippers (ages 8 to 13) and Junior Lifesavers (ages 14 to 18), plus a Masters crew.
The competitors had been training hard during the past season and, at times, under very trying conditions. Plett Surf is very proud of them for their achievements at Nationals, as well as their dedication and sportsmanship. They are wonderful ambassadors for the club.
Chairman’s Report 2021-22
I moved to Plett in August 1993 and by September 1993 I was playing touch rugby every Friday afternoon and drinking beer at this club’s honesty bar. By August 1994 I had been roped onto the committee as the IRB officer and into doing my SPA. The IRB officer post did not last very long as by December, after numerous chokka fishing “patrols”, Laurent Eray managed to flip, tuck and roll the duck in the Lookout Beach surf.
From then on its just a blur of different memories, from Cape Champs to comps in East London, loads of instructing, examining and fun.
