The Ayr Surf Life Saving Club celebrated another season of success on Saturday night at their annual club presentation night. This year the club had a joined event where both the Junior and Senior members came together to recognise the contribution of members to the club in all areas of service including surf sports, volunteering/community service and patrolling. The club would like to thank all sponsors for the evening, perpetual and memorial trophy families and life members for their continued support. The patrolling season has come to an end over the May Day long weekend and the Ayr Surf Club will return to volunteer patrols in September. They are looking at conducting a Bronze Medallion and training Course over the next couple of months, so if you are interested, please contact the administrator ayrslsc@gmail.com or Kellie Lawry.
