New volunteers join Bronze Medallion course

In November’s cover story, 2515 Coast News reported on how Scarborough Wombarra Surf Life Saving Club started the 2020/21 season with just 17 patrolling members and had to call on Surf Life Saving Illawarra for help to cover one full Sunday patrol a month. 

Following this, four new volunteers have come forward and joined other club members on a Bronze Medallion course held at Scarborough Wombarra Surf Life Saving Club last month. 

“We had existing members progressing from Surf Rescue Certificate through to the Bronze Medallion, plus some new members as a result of the 2515 article and the letterbox drop we did,” club president Ant Ritter said. 

“We are still taking people if anyone is interested, but this was a great outcome for the club and hopefully goes a long way in making Scarborough Wombarra SLSC a sustainable surf life saving club for next three to five years.”

Scarborough Wombarra club membership is free in the 2020/21 season. 

If you are interested in getting your bronze, helping out the club and patrolling the beach, contact club president Ant Ritter.
