The Ayr Surf Life Saving Club To Mark It's 100th Anniversary In 2026

A cornerstone of the Burdekin Shire since 1926, the Ayr Surf Life Saving Club will officially celebrate its 100th anniversary in less than a year’s time, with a three-event extravaganza set to kick off from the 29th of May 2026.

Although its early days, the club has taken to social media to ramp up the excitement and anticipation ahead of what’s shaping up to be a historic celebration to remember.

To mark the monumental milestone, the Ayr Surf Life Saving Club will host an elegant Formal Dinner to celebrate the remarkable achievement in style at the beautiful Burdekin Memorial Hall in Home Hill.

The Formal Dinner will take place the evening of Saturday the 30th of May (2026) where members of the club and the broader community will come together to reconnect with old friends, journey through cherished memories, and reflect on the impressive legacy the Ayr Surf Life Saving Club has built over the past century.

In preparation for next year’s anniversary, the Ayr Surf Life Saving Club have asked past presidents, life members, and past lifesaver of the year and surf girl ambassadors to reach out to the committee at ayrslsc100@gmail.com to detail their most treasured memories they’ve shared with the club over the years.

“As we gear up for our 100 year celebrations, we’d love to hear your stories,” wrote the Ayr Surf Life Saving Club online.

“Get in touch with the committee and help us create something truly special – a tribute to the people and the history that shaped our club.”
