7.5 Distinguished Membership Nominations recommendations : 

The LRSLSC Distinguished Services Committee recommended that Scott Plunkett and Keiren Brown be made  Distinguished Service Members: 

Scott Plunkett (Posthumously)

Scott joined Long Reef in 1990 and was awarded Best Patrol Member in the 1990/1991 season. In the  1990’s Scott was Vice Captain for 3 seasons, Chief Instructor for 3 seasons, IRB Captain for 1 season as well as being branch delegate . During this time he was awarded Best IRB Team Member and most importantly Best Club Member. 

During the 1990’s the club had an IRB racing team and Scott was a stalwart of the team winning 23 State medals of varying colours as well as a Branch championship and a large number of Branch medals as well as a Branch best Driver award . IRB racing is usually conducted during winter and was often cold and miserably but Scott’s enthusiasm was catching for the rest of the IRB team.

Scott became a Long Serving Member.  He joined Shell Harbour SLSC, however he kept in touch with Long Reef SLSC and came down for the odd catch up patrol.

Indeed Scott did a patrol at Longy only shortly before his untimely death on the 11th May this year.

Kieren Brown

Kieren joined Long Reef SLSC in 1984 gaining his Surf Lifesaving Certificate, Bronze Medallion, IRB Crew Certificate, ARC and IRB drivers award and he has successfully trained several bronze squads.

Kieren was a member of the Management Committee for 12 seasons holding positions ranging from Gear Steward, Social Organiser and Vice Captain. Kieren also produced the Reef Recorder for several seasons as well as 2 Annual reports.

Kieren competed for Long Reef for a number of seasons in surfboats, swim, patrol competition and IRB’s. He won medals in all bar the swim. He was a regular at Sunday morning surf races and won the Open Men’s Champion of Champions’ in season 1996/1997.

Kieren was a member for 35 years at Long Reef and was awarded Best Club Member 2 times.  Due to family and work commitments his involvement with the club was pulled back but he is still involved in surf lifesaving now being involved with Coogee nippers near where he now lives.

Motion 

That Scott Plunkett ( posthumously ) be made a Distinguished Service Member of Long Reef SLSC 

Motion
 That Kieren Brown be made a Distinguished Service Member of Long Reef SLSC

Moved: Peter Kinsey Seconded: Nina Kovach

7.6 Outstanding Service Nominations: 

The LRSLSC Outstanding Services Committee recommended that Tim Bagot, Leanne Stanton and Alan Freedman be made Outstanding Service Membership:  

Tim Bagot (Posthumously)

Tim was a Long Reef member from 1958 to 1966 and was awarded his bronze medallion in season 1958/59 and his instructors certificate in 1959/1960.

He was on the Management Committee as Assistant Secretary for 3 seasons, Vice Captain for 3 seasons Chief Instructor for 1 season and during his period on the committee very rarely missed a meeting. In addition Tim was on a number of sub committee’s during those years.

He was the club belt champion in 1958/1959 as well as playing Rugby union for the club in the Whiddon Cup B grade team and was Captain of the Long Reef B grade team that won the Whiddon Cup in 1962/1963 and they also made the Semi Finals in the A Grade competition in the following season. Tim was also an excellent fund raiser for the club. 

Leanne Stanton

Leanne was one of the first if not the first female member of Long Reef SLSC  joining in season 1978/1979. Up until that season Long Reef Surf lifesaving was a 100% male dominated environment. Ladies were not involved in lifesaving per se, but worked around the club, were on the ladies auxiliary and were involved in social functions.

Leanne immediately threw herself into the lifesaving aspects of the club showing excellent leadership serving on the Committee.  She  was the first female to gain a Bronze medallion in Long Reef SLSC in the season 1981/1982.  In that same season she also achieved an instructors certificate.

Leanne remained a  valued member until well into the mid 1980’s.  Being the first female in Long Reef SLSC to gain her bronze medallion Leane opened up Long Reef SLSC to future generations of female members who now form an active and integral part of our club and Surf lifesaving .

Alan Freedman

Alan was a member of Long Reef SLSC from 1957/1958 until 1973/1974 being an Active Junior, Active Senior and Active Reserve (1966/67). He was on the Management Committee as Assistant Secretary, Race Secretary, Publicity Officer and Branch Delegate as well as being on a number of sub committee’s.

Alan was a huge fund raiser for the club for 10 years . He was the club open beach sprint champion in 1961/1962 and again in 1966/1967 and in that same season won the Musical Flags .

Alan was the Captain of the  Long Reef team that toured New Zealand in 1968/1969 which led to a life long association between our club and the Orewa SLSC which is just north of Auckland.

Motion 

That Tim Bagot ( posthumously ) be made an Outstanding Service Member of Long Reef SLSC
