You know you're on the verge of Summer when the Surf Life Saving Sydney Northern Beaches surf-boat premiership begins.


Bilgola SLSC hosted Round 1 in pristine conditions that were a little dumpy towards the shore as the tide lessened but provided smooth clean glorious waves for the run back in. A Brilliant Billy Day - and perfect for new crews having their first carnival!

In other Bilgola SLSC news the Surf Life Saving Foundation announced, officially, on November 2 that Bilgola's President Romilly Madew has been elected to the SLSF Board;

It is with great pleasure we announce the appointment of Romilly Madew to the Surf Life Saving Foundation Board.

Ms Madew is one of Australia’s most cutting-edge female leaders, as well as President and Patrol Captain of Bilgola Beach Surf Life Saving Club.

The Green Building Council of Australia’s CEO has a tremendous amount of innovative corporate expertise to share with the cause that’s incredibly close to her heart.

We are very excited to welcome Ms Madew to our Board and we are looking forward to learning from her extensive experience and insights.

Her deep understanding and personal connection to our frontline lifesaving services will also be of enormous benefit, helping the Foundation team and our amazing donors and supporters get closer to the work our volunteers do every day.
