## Pete Gaisford 

**It is with great sadness that I have to report on the passing of our last Founder member Alan Homes. A stalwart of the club for whom nothing was too much trouble when asked.** 

was in the time before cheap package holidays and cheap flights to the Mediterranean. The summer of 2021 reminded me of the 1970s with the beach completely full of windbreaks as far as Flat Rocks and the lifeguards having to cone a sand vehicle roadway from high tide up to the surf life saving club. The number of people who came to Cornwall on holiday in the summer of 2021 broke all records for recent times. 

A Royal Humane Society citation hangs proudly on the surf life saving club wall for a rescue Alan performed in big seas at Perranporth. If the club needed any help with moving or storing equipment Big Al was the first port of call. Should young life saving club members need a summer job, Alan was always willing to help by providing employment at The Perranporth Camping and Touring Park. Many of us can recall working behind the camp site bar at Failte listening to the Beach Boys on the old 8 track cassette player. 

The threat of Covid infection continued to place the Lifeguards and our volunteer club members under severe pressure to keep everyone safe. The club mounted evening observation patrols from 6pm to 8pm during the week and weekend. There were some outstanding rescues, notably a rescue past Perran sands towards Penhale which came very close to a very different outcome. Well done to all those who took part. 

A true gentleman who never said a cross word and had the Perranporth Surf Life Saving club in his soul. Our deepest sympathies go out to Alan’s three daughters Lucy, Emily and Jenna. 

In this strangest of times, Perranporth Surf Life Saving continues to provide a focal point for the community for all ages from 7yrs up. The club adapted to the changing Covid guidelines and admirably performed the tasks for which it was founded in 1957. All our past founder members would be justly proud to know, that no drownings occurred at Perranporth during the summer lifeguard season of 2021. 

During the mid 1970s I was lucky enough to work at Als camp site and I can recall the site being completely full of tents and caravans from mid July through to the August bank holiday. This

CHAIRS REPORT 

CAPTAINS REPORT 


## **CHAIR** 

We did not win a lot  but as the saying goes ‘its taking part that counts-’ is the important bit. I went up to Crawley Town a couple of weeks ago to the Still Waters!  Can’t they swim fast!  You see it on the tele but it is very fast up close!  Keep up the swimming with Keith (thank you Keith) and we might get there in the end!!! 

## Doreen Lawrence 

**I am sitting at the computer, yes I do use a computer!, after attending the Remembrance Service at Perranzabule Parish Church and I thank everyone from the Club that was there and Children in the Uniform Organisations.  It was a lovely service.** 

Bon Fire Night was spectacular!!!  I think any one that had wood to burn had it burnt.  Thanks to those who organised. Thanks to Tom and Esme for organising the Volunteer Patrols and those who took part. 

Yet again it has been a very difficult year, but we have ‘overcome’.  I go to two club evenings the Youth and Seniors and both have been well attended, also the Ladies and the Nippers, I think the club has rallied and we are stronger than ever! 

Thank you to all the Leaders, Coaches, Parents and everyone else for all your hard work in keeping Perranporth Surf Life Saving Club on the path to success. 

It was great to get back to Competitions on Portreath in September and we had the best turn out of the club in years! 

I wish you all a Happy Christmas and New Year 


## **CAPTAIN** Matt Sanwell 

**2021 was a mixed bag of ups and downs, but Perranporth SLSC, as always, kept on keeping on. The year started with lock-downs and doubt and ended with fun and optimism.** 

home some metal work too - see the results on page 21. 

Our club nights have seen a big increase in women training, often outnumbering men, which is great to see. We have a very strong masters team and I can’t wait to see them in action at some local and national events next year. 

The club lost its last founding member this year. Alan Holmes, along with 9 others, started the club back in 1957. Their legacy will continue to develop lifeguards and raise awareness of water safety for years to come. 

A huge congratulations to the Boaty Ladies: Alice Berriman, Paula Bright, Alex Sandbrook, Ruth Creamer, Tina Pascoe and Kim-Marie Jackson - who successfully completed the first ever relay swim to the Scillies from Lands End in July this year. Their 26 mile endeavour raised over £10,000 for Surfers Against Sewage. 

Sport was back on the menu this year with some local twilight races, nipper competitions and the Open Carnival. PPSLSC were due to host the National Open, however once again, the conditions wouldn’t allow it (due to the range of abilities of entrants), but thankfully Portreath SLSC stepped in to host it. 

Our club has grown to nearly 450 members this year, I put this down to a strong leadership committee and an inclusive club ethos. I would really like to encourage more people to take land and water based qualifications in 2022, so  we  can all work together to keep Perranporth beach a safe place. 

We had an amazing team of 36 seniors and youth, more had entered, but couldn’t make the venue change. The uptake blew me away, and the diverse team brought

SECRETARYS REPORT 

LIFESAVING REPORT 


## **SECRETARY** Nigel Bowden 

**This year we have seen how important the club is to its members well-being. Their enthusiasm and commitment after a year of lockdown has really brought the club together. With now over 400 members Perranporth Surf Life Saving Club is now one of the largest in the country and we are making a difference to the safety of our beach.** 

Chris leaving this has opened one position on the committee. Esme Rogers (his daughter) has been proposed for the position which I feel is the correct person to replace him. Esme has been one of our key members in promoting both Lifesaving and Sport within the club. She has attended committee meetings for the last few years as Youth Rep and hopefully continue for many more years on the committee. 

This year the club have put in 512 voluntary patrolling hours of which 296 hours were declared to the HM Coastguard. Perranporth have retaken up the commitment of patrolling under the new SLSGB framework where the club must be audited each year to maintain its status. This shows the commitment from the club towards beach safety. 

This year has seen the return of some Carnivals and Perranporth Surf Life Saving Club put in a good show. We were meant to host the SLSGB National Open Carnival in September, but due to a very large surf forecast it was relocated to Portreath 3 days before the event. We still sent a large team and did really well in some very challenging conditions.  Earlier in the year the Nipper’s went to the SLS Cornwall Nipper event at Gyllyngvase and again had a great turnout. 

The last two years have been very difficult year for everyone in the sector when it has come to fundraising. We have been lucky to secure some donations and a few grants which help toward some much needed equipment. This year we see Hannah Pile stand down as Fundraising Officer and I would like to thank her for all the work she has done over the years. Hopefully the position will be filled as we all need to get our thinking caps on again and look at different avenues for raising funds. Perranporth Surf Life Saving Club has always been in the front when it comes down to getting the money in the bank. We need to raise some serious cash to keep the club’s inheritance in good standing and develop the club for the future. 

I am a great believer that our history shapes our future and this year we see the passing of Alan Homes one of our earliest members. The work caried out by these members in the early days is now the backbone of our club and it’s our responsibility to keep those standards very high, which makes Perranporth Surf Life Saving Club respected throughout the world. 

There is so many people to thank, so I would like to thank every member of Perranporth Surf Life Saving Club for their ongoing support and commitment which makes the club what it is today. 

Chris Rogers will also be leaving the committee and I would like to thank Chris for all his time and help over the years. With 


## **CLUB PATROLS** Tom McRitchie 

**For the past 3 years, our volunteer patrols have only ever been on a Tuesday and Wednesday night whilst there has been a training session on. After spending two winters in New Zealand with their incredible weekend volunteer lifeguards, and chatting with neighbouring Cornish clubs already putting on full volunteer services, I felt that we needed to be doing the same, much like we once did.** 

were put into a rota and all gave up at least 2 hours of their week (if not more!). Our patrols finished the weekend of tunes in the dunes with even more members giving up their free time to help do the safety cover for that festival, gaining some very valuable experience that you wouldn’t find elsewhere. 

Our patrol system is based around who turns up and what qualifications they hold. We can be anything from observation only to a full red and yellow flag set up. We then log on with the coastguard, informing them what level we are operating at so then they can use us as an asset if they have an emergency near us (much like a coastguard rescue team or lifeboat). 

We completed over 512 hours of volunteering and well over 50 Incidents which include major first aids, minor first aids, lost or missing kids/adults, rescues, assists, interventions and face to face safety advice. Some of these definitely could have been a lot worse if we hadn’t been there to help or give out lifesaving advice. 

One of the first organised patrols we had came on Boxing Day when a group from the older youth ranks stepped up to help keep eyes on all those braving the cold winter waters for a quick dip. 

I’d like to say a massive thank you to anyone that gave up their time this year. Without you, this wouldn’t have been possible. Hopefully we can follow up with even more volunteer hours next year and get the club back to being one of the great volunteer lifesaving services once again! 

After a quiet spring and knowing that this summer was lined up to be one of the busiest, me and Doreen set the target of having club members patrolling from 6pm till 8pm, after the regular RNLI 10-6 service had finished, for the month of august. After holding an induction meeting, we had established a brilliant and diverse group in terms of age, experience and qualifications. All

## **RNLI** 

Ben Gardiner _RNLI Seasonal Supervisor Perranporth and Perran Sands/PPSLSC committee member_ 

After the flattest summer in 13 years and a wet August, October has been a great way to wind up 2021. 

showing what can be done by the club, with a team of dedicated volunteers working after RNLI lifeguarded hours from the lifeguard rooms at the club over the peak season. Volunteering is a way to see if you enjoy lifeguarding and would want to do it for the RNLI too. 

So, I am thinking back over this season for this report and looking at the 2020 report. It makes for uncomfortable recollections when the beaches were closed at what should have been the start of last season. Tragic loss of life on beaches that would normally have been lifeguarded while on lockdown. 

At Perranporth and Perran Sands the RNLI had 14 club members working this year (Doreen was back volunteering), with 5 more lifeguards from neighbouring clubs. This local knowledge and experience was invaluable when we were hitting daily highs of around 14,000 people on the beach and in the sea. 

It was a huge relief when in 2021 we had all our beaches open as hoped, with Perranporth actively patrolling everyday from April 2nd until 31st October, one of just a handful in the entire region. Despite initial continuing restrictions, we were just happy to be back to training and work. 

A good place to keep up with to date with beach matters is on the ‘Community Lifesaving Perranporth Area’ Facebook page. We have this year also launched our Instagram Page ‘RNLI Lifeguards Perranporth SC’, which we launched with some amazing drone pictures by Jamie Turnbull. 

Hopefully the next few years will see more of our beaches covered beyond the current scope. Perranporth has been 

Once we got up and running, we had the usual first aids, rescues, assists, lost and found persons and of course weevers. Lifeguards from Portreath to Holywell Bay have dealt with more than 1,850 incidents this season, many occurred at Perranporth and Perran Sands. Some of note were Ben Evans being early for work at Perran Sands and rescuing a man surfing in big swell and caught in the impact zone; George Hudson and Sam Stephens rescuing a man and woman on rescue boards on a dropping tide

on Westcountry News). Pre-season Tom McRitchie and Graham Fisher were working in a Water Safety role and saved the life of a delivery driver after he was found unconscious in his vehicle by them near Portreath. 

More unusual events were the massive hole dug by some teenagers (quickly filled in) and reports of a ‘bomb’ at Perran Sands that turned out to be from an old sea mine. 

James Kirton, Charlie Florey and George Hudson featured on ‘Saving Lives at Sea’ for a rescue last year. 



A huge hole dug on the beach; the biggest any of us remember seeing! And remnants of a Sea Mine

After a year when lifeguards had not been able to renew their Beach Lifeguard award, as soon as SLSGB permitted it, we were enjoying the assessments before work within two days. 

I would encourage all the club youth to look at the RNLI recruitment website and think about joining the team that keep one of the most dangerous beaches in the UK safer for our visitors and community. Simply get an application submitted in the New Year, usually early January. Follow the notification for this on the Facebook and Instagram pages mentioned earlier. Fitness requirements are a Beach Lifeguard qualification, 400m swim in under seven and a half minutes, a 200m run in under 40 seconds and an underwater pool swim. Full details are on the website https://summerjobs. rnli.org/lifeguards and be part of the wider team. We will recruit volunteers and new lifeguards in 2022, we want you as part of the team.

I began this report reflecting on last year. Alan Homes, who passed this year, was out last founder member. It is important to remember that the club and therefore the RNLI owe a deep gratitude to people like him who established lifesaving in the UK.

NIPPERS REPORT<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


## **NIPPER MANAGER** Spike Gaisford 

How blooming brilliant are our Nippers? And what an intense year we have had. A year for returning to what we love, with the focus on fun and togetherness after the restrictions and stress we have all endured. 

with active senior parents plus lots of children completely new to the lifesaving ethos enrolled with us. Then it was on to our new Age 7s who joined in as the water warmed up and so our 2021 Nippers were complete. 

Surf Life Saving GB quite rightly realised the need for a gradual return to competition after a year without. The emphasis was to be on fun. There was a relaxed Nipper meet at Gyllyngvase Beach which saw 30 children attend with lots of fabulous results as we remembered how much we love racing. Jayne and Andy ran a Sunday comp training session for the older ages to nurture their competitive instincts. The Max Hocking Nipper Fun Day at Hayle Towans, again had only 30 children attend. A small group attended the Polkerris swim. We appreciate this year has been quite frantic and we all wanted to get away if we could, but with a register of 132 Nippers that’s only 22% representing the Club at events this year……so we could do better, and we have a mammoth waiting list of children wanting to compete. Parents, this is always down to you getting your child to events. Surf Club is not just about joining because everyone else is, it’s fundamentally about sea safety, lifesaving, hanging out with friends but with event attendance as the cherry on the top. Competition is good, it sets up your child for the real (un-rosy) world and fosters a desire to improve. So, for 2022 we would 

I am sure the rest of the community thought we were all rather ‘foolish’ on April 1st this year. After a winter of lockdowns and more uncertainty we were all itching to get moving, to get out, to get together, to get on with living. An early cold April was not in our plans! It was a first for a ‘’back on the beach” so early in the year. Yet we did it. We embraced the sea and the freedom it gives us with fortitude and a sprinkle of crazy screaming. 

Permissions granted to restart activity, we got in the water. 5mm wetsuits, hoods, boots, gloves, determination, grit and plenty of hot chocolate allowed us each week as the water grew warmer, to extend the sessions. The Age Groups 9,10,11 & 12 were properly hardcore in early April; our full admiration goes to each and everyone of them and also to their parents, many of them not avid cold water surf fans. No, we were not crazy at all. We were living. 

We finally and gladly welcomed our new Age 8s who had waited patiently during a doubtful 2020 to join. Excited children, many

NIPPERS REPORT<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


like to see ALL children attend a minimum of one event either Pool or Ocean. It’s not about the bling, it’s about the team and there is no ‘I’ in team. We need your children to fully be part of our team. Don’t worry it’s not always about being the fastest. We teach determination to all our children; we support them all whatever their level. We need parents to support us in this please. 

Thanks also to our admin and hot choccie parents, Biz Iliffe, Steph Bemrose, Hannah Brown, Ruth Ashwin, Kasia Bugala and Karen Longstaff. Without these fine people Nippers just does not happen. Several passed their Level 2 Coach Award this year. Our Youth helpers also deserve a mention for their weekly commitment and even when the DofE program finished they still came to help. Elodie, Byron, Charlie O & Charlie M, Aisling, Lucy, Cecily, Eliza, Ben, Zach, Anna, Abs and Fred, we are grateful for your dedication to giving back to our Nippers and the Club you have been a part of since you joined when Age 7. Remember, everyone is a volunteer. No 2020 Annual Awards were given because each of our 

The beach was crazy this year, 12,000 on one day. We have not seen it as busy as this since the 80s pre cheap flights. But our parents came, our children thrived. We found our space. This was only possible with the commitment of you the parents. We must say a huge thanks to some special members, parents and grandparents who make Nippers happen every week. Pete Gaisford, Remy Whiting, Esme Rogers, Steve Iliffe, Mike Jeffs, Anita Fleet, Simon Boyle, Cris Balinger, Annie Lee, Andy Moody, Adrian Richards, Martin Fleet, Sarah Green, Gemma Teague, Jayne Chapman, Andy Davies, Shelley Hardwick, Harry Milsom, Tessa Wilson, Simon Lawrence, Lloyd Bellenie, Vicky Thornton, Mat Rowlands, Rob Cook, and new to the team, Amy Vian, Mel Munialo, Naomi Jones, Sam Howard, Kate Passmore all give up time to coach. 

Nipper’s was a ‘Star’ and ‘Nipper of the Year’ last year after all that upheaval. Our 2021 awards are decided after this report goes to press and will be presented on Dec 18th this year and written in next year’s report. 

What will 2022 bring? Whatever we face, we do it together and with tenacity. One thing is for sure, we need more willing parent victims to take the lifeguard award and coaching courses to keep this fabulous Club moving forward. Go on. Get involved, for your child, for you and your community.

## Sarah White 

congratulations to Tiffany Postle, Aisling Cook, Summer Jeffery, Willow Jeffery, Alex Robinson and Aiden DeBeer, also to Alex Robinson and Willow Jeffery who has recently successfully converted their Lifeguard award to a Pool Lifeguard award and will now Lifeguard at our Tuesday night pool sessions. 

Here in Youth we have got well and truly back into the Surf Club stride, maintaining our swim training at Newquay Bay Resort with Russell last winter and after a lot of hard work we have secured pool time at Redruth School Pool for this winter and are continually looking for more pool time elsewhere.  We are lucky to see the return of Keith Lambert to the club who has agreed to coach the Youth at swimming, his knowledge and expertise will greatly assist us in producing the Lifeguards of the future. 

NO 2020 YOUTH AWARDS WERE PRESENTED DUE TO COVID 

Thank you to Sam Chamberlin and Rob Nunn who returned with the Lifesaver and Lifeguard Award. 

CURRENT NUMBER OF YOUTH MEMBERS **64** 

It was great to see our older Youth Lifeguarding again this season on all our local beaches and up-holding the clubs moto of ‘Vigilance and Service’ keeping up the tradition of many Youth, some of whom are still Lifeguarding today. Ski Paddling has been fairly consistent throughout the year on Sundays, with 

We were quick to get back on the beach this year in May, we continued to use the pod system that worked so well in 2020. It has been amazing to see so many of our Youth returning this year especially the older Youth who have gone on to undertake their Lifeguard qualifications, 


the Youth even taking part in 2 of Truro Canoe Club’s time trial sessions we even managed to get some very productive sessions on our very own beach in the surf.  A big thanks to Simon Lawrence and Peter Gaisford for sharing their expertise with the youth. 

A combined Youth evening organised by Portreath was appreciated by all who attended, mixing the clubs Youth up and racing against each other proved an enjoyable evening with a great social afterwards. 

Thank you again to everyone who has helped out from ferrying the Youth to various training locations, towing trailers, coaching on the beach, registering and keeping everyone in line (Doreen we couldn’t do it without you x) making the hot chocolate, BBQing, cleaning down, it feels like some semblance of normality has returned. 




I would like to thank everyone across the club who has made this year happen for the Youth.

LADIES REPORT 

LADIES REPORT 


## **LADIES CAPTAIN** Anita Fleet 

**2021 has been another successful year for Perranporth Surf Life Saving Club. The club has continued to build on the success of previous years and, once again, has welcomed many new ladies to our thriving club.** 

Pleasingly, The Duncan Newby Surf Swim was able to go ahead and was a huge success. There were several strong all female teams which was wonderful to see. By entering and swimming as a team, rather than individually, it incorporates characteristics of surf lifesaving – enduring your own physical challenge while maintaining awareness of the conditions and performance of those around you. I know there were many other members who wished that they had entered so get your teams sorted and set it as a challenge for 2022! 

This year, it was wonderful to see so many ladies training on Wednesdays at club night. For a multitude of reasons, Ladies Night on Fridays had fewer people attend than previous years. This provided the instructors with the opportunity to offer more bespoke training and good fun was had by all. Once again, all the instructors have been amazing. They all offer something unique and help to support, encourage, inspire and keep us all safe in the water. I cannot thank you all enough for your precious time, valuable knowledge and on-going support. 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for your sterling efforts in supporting and running the club in these challenging times. The dedication and commitment of many female members is incredible - not only in the training and competing side but also in the organisation and general running of the club. 

Due to the pandemic, competitions have been limited but the events that have been held have seen a competitive team of ladies attend. The National Open Carnival at Portreath was a fine example of this where we were able to enter multiple teams for several events. Hopefully this incredible enthusiasm will continue next year. 

Overall, 2021 has been a successful year where new friendships have been formed, lifesaving skills learnt and good times enjoyed by all. Roll on 2022.

IRB REPORT<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


## **IRB CAPTAIN** Rob Farr 

The summer saw the club hosting the regions Rescue Water Craft RWC (or jetski) for a period of time.  Those qualified got the opportunity through the summer to put it through its paces in some testing conditions.  Others got to try out what its like for a lifeguard to carry out a rescue from the sled (mat) on the back.  The RWC proved to be a great addition to the existing IRB rescue cover for the Duncan Newby swim. 

**The IRB year kicked off in early April with the engines and hulls returning from an in depth winter overhaul. It wasn’t long until the crews gave the kit a good shakedown with some perfect early April conditions for a coastal explore.  An essential piece of training for local crews to know their bit of coast intimately.** 

With the young guns through their irb exams, it was time to get started with the new batch.  Starting at the end of June, they were mainly a family group, and were all novices to IRB. It all started with flat calm seas, capsize drills and calm coastal tours.  This was all to change as the summer progressed and this team of new crew tackled some heavy surf conditions very competently. 

Training and then assessment got underway for the remainder of the group from 2020 unable to finish due to pandemic interruptions. By June, Aiden, Huw and Joel got their crew, and Ben Evans got his drivers.  All went on to work for the RNLI on Perran or other local beaches.  Very competent crews ready for the busy summer ahead of them. 

As winter approaches and we now turn to maintenance and repair, I can’t help but be proud of the IRB crews that come out of Perran surf club.  We’re obviously blessed with having the testing conditions to train in here on our doorstep, but we also have the support of the club, the trainers and ultimately, the enthusiasm and grit of the people that step forward to crew this essential rescue asset.  If you want to be part of that, let me know rob.farr@perranporthslsc.org.uk 

With clubbies keen to make the most of the summer ahead, the IRB’s went on to support club ski paddling activities off the beach on what turned out to be a very long flat spell.  When the surf did come, a series of capsized boats in the surf meant that the engine reinstatement procedure became well practiced for some. The trainers are still awaiting the forfeit beers from the offending drivers particularly the one who was trying to get a hat trick!

SURFBOAT REPORT 

EVENTS: DUNCAN NEWBY SURF SWIM CHALLENGE 


## **SURFBOAT CAPTAIN** Aaron Jones 

The pandemic meant that we got straight back into the surf and skipped the river training this year. So from April we were catching cold water waves and throughout the summer managed to get some epic sessions in. See pic courtesy of Pete Postle. 

The committee gave the go-ahead for a new boat cover which has proved durable and easy to fit making one less complex task for the boaties to deal with when they row. 

Pete Gaisford has been bringing on some youth members who have expressed an interest in rowing. So far it’s been technique and fitness sessions on the ergos but he hopes to have them rowing boats in December. 

In July, 6 senior women rowers successfully took on the challenge of being the first relay swim to the Isles of Scilly, 4 of whom rowed the same stretch in the Surfboat in 2015. Over £10k was raised for Surfers Against Sewage in the process. 

Formal river rowing will re-start in January and if you’re a member who’d like to give rowing the Surfboat a go make yourself know to Mr Gaisford ASAP. In addition ‘sweep school’ will be resurrected and a few keen, experienced rowers will be learning the art/ science of sweeping the boat. This should help Pete out in his twilight years but it may well also be a test of how well people can swim in 8c water temperature!

**For over 30 years, Duncan was a member of the Club, Lifeguard & competitor. A talented swimmer he passed on his swimming knowledge to Club members for many years, as well as coaching around the county.** 



When Duncan passed away after a fight against cancer, he left a legacy fund to Perranporth SLSC to continue to encourage members of the club to stretch their swimming abilities. The event was created by Simon Jeffery in 2019. We were unable to run it in 2020 due to Covid-19, but we were able to host the Surf Swim Challenge in his memory this year. 



As a team event, to swim the length of Perranporth Beach encourages the teamwork aspects of lifesaving, requiring swimmers and board cover to work together to operate a buddy system. All the teams completed the challenge and enjoyed a BBQ and refreshments at the club house after. We are looking forward to growing the event in 2022.

be rotated between ‘bubbles’ and the club house and kit to remain COVID safe. Without this we would not have been able to get the nippers safely back to activity. Thank you also to club and committee member Simon Jeffery for his work on the grant submission. 

**It has been another extraordinary and challenging year for individuals and organisations alike. The surf club and the charities sector are no exception to this. We have had a year with restricted activity, both in terms of fundraising, but also in terms of competition and training. First and foremost, I would like to extend a thank you to all members and community partners for your ongoing loyalty and support, without which the challenge would have been far greater.** 

Financially we have continued to maintain strong control over non-essential spend. This is to ensure the club remains resilient in times of uncertainty. Due to this the club’s level of reserves remain healthy: 

Further analysis of the available resources and income and expenditure for the year can be seen within the financial statements. We are now beginning to look to the future to see how we best invest in our members and the club house. Over the coming months we aim to: 

The priority of the committee, throughout the year, has been to ensure the safety of members by adhering to SLSGB guidance at each stage of the process, and where possible, expediate a return to the activity that we all love so much. 

- Renew the emphasis on fundraising. I would encourage 

Perranzabuloe Parish Council, Perranporth Garden Trustees, Surf Life Saving GB, Diane Green and Surf Life Saving Cornwall Region, Cornwall Council, UK Government Department of Transport, Perranzabuloe Rotary Club, South West Water, HM Coastguard and Cornwall Fire & Rescue Service. 

And to the many of family and friends that support our club year upon year THANK YOU! 

The return to sport from nippers through to masters was not straight forward, with bubbles, kit and safety cover ratios all being key considerations. Thank you to everyone involved in addressing each of these challenges. 

A special mention has to go to Sport England, who through their ‘return to play’ grant funding, enabled the purchase of a significant number of new nipper boards, as well as cleaning equipment. This enabled boards to 

   - all members to come forward with ideas and take these forward, 

- Continue to pursue options for obtaining new kit to widen participation, 

- Schedule events for the 2022 season, including a return of our flagship event the triathlon and aquathlon, and 

- Schedule a maintenance programme over the medium term for the club house. This is to ensure that our key asset is both fit for purpose and best placed to generate much needed funds.
