Surf Lifesaving Devon - Annual Report 2023
Overview
Surf Lifesaving Devon returning to its pre-covid operations and participation levels in 2023. This included:
-
Supporting all Devon SLS clubs in developing the skills and qualifications of their volunteers.
-
Running a full programme of events including pool and ocean competitions and management of a Devon SLS Team.
-
Continued support for a Devon Flood Rescue emergency service.
Supporting Clubs
2023 saw the organisation run its first annual Devon SLS club development day. This focused on understanding the needs of the county’s network of clubs and in developing key skills and processes to improve the organisation, consistency and professionalism of events. Clubs responded well to the day and confirmed that an annual get together was something that should continue.
The organisation also financially supported the training of club officials in flood management, event management and Inshore Rescue Boat qualifications. This will also support the operation of Devon events as well as the ability of clubs to run their own activities.
Competition
A full programme of events took place in 2023. With pool and ocean events held in all categories. Numbers of competitors were up from the previous year in all age groups. However, the number of Open competitors fell slightly and
this continues to be a category that struggles with numbers. Event fees were only increased incrementally to ensure, as much as possible, inclusivity.
Financially the pool events resulted in a small deficit, but the ocean events made a small surplus meaning overall the event programme remained roughly breakeven – maintaining the organisation’s reserves.
The committee discussed the use of technology and the introduction of SLSGB’s ‘Liveheats’ system and this was supported by all members - this will involve a significant financial commitment in 2024.
Devon SLS supported a Devon Team in the Celtic Cup (inter-regional and nations event held in Bude). The organisation funded Devon Kit for competitors in both Open and Youth Categories.
The organisation’s Support for officials continued in 2023 through the funding of official’s kit, introduction of an official’s log book and more structured CDP development opportunities at events.
The organisation
The committee continued to meet regularly throughout the year. There were no changes in the committee membership.
