Important morning for a number of members of our Club to Step Out and Speak Out against domestic and family violence, alongside Randwick City Council, NSW Police and other community organisations. Great to see so many young people joining the annual event.

We had the opportunity to showcase our skills on Channel 7's Sunrise Weather segments on Thursday 21 November 2024.
Great racing on Sunday in R1 of the Club Championships following the gutsy efforts of the minnows in their Champo day.
A solid shore dump and strong sweep made for some testing conditions. A strong crew of 26 in the male surf race and 17 competitors in the female surf race. Many backed up to do sprints, board and iron. Well done everyone and a huge thank you to everyone who came to support and help. We'll continue to work on our timing and logistics!! We look forward to R2 on Dec 8 combining with champion lifesavers doing a mock carnival. On Tuesday 22nd October, four Surf Lifesavers from Sydney Branch attended the NSW Premiers Community BBQ to welcome his Majesty King Charles III (SLSA Patron) and Queen Camilla. Aimee Charles, Callum Hawkins and Sarah Flynn from Coogee SLSC, and Ben Sutton from Wanda SLSC attended on behalf of SLSNSW, and fired up the BBQ for the Royal couple.
Treasurer, Matt Larkin and Club Governor, David 'Luna' Park attended the Coogee Bay Hotel 27th Charity Golf Day on 17 October.
The day was a huge success and they raised a record amount of $325000 for Sydney Children's Hospitals Foundation. Well done Chris and the team at Coogee Bay Hotel! Coogee SLSC is pleased to announce that we have partnered with SLS Foundation to participate in the Surf Lottery. This is a new initiative from Surf Lotteries to further support clubs across the country. 50% of every ticket purchase (from our Surf Lottery Club page) will go directly to our club.
Current lotteries are: Lottery 225: Sunshine Cove Splendor - closes 30 October 2024 Lottery 226: Mooloolaba Miracle - closes 11 December 2024 To be in to win, purchase your tickets here: Coogee SLSC Surf Lottery Life member, John ’Sodgie’ Sorrell who now lives on the Gold Coast, paid us a visit last Sunday 22 September.
Knowing Sodge was paying us a visit George ‘Ugly’ Bevan was anxious to meet up with his old mate. Both are their 90’s they grew up together in the club some 75 years ago. Both strong competitors and hard working committee members, their get together prompted much reminiscing. President Ben and VP Sharon joined in the gathering as did several of our older members.

The sparkles were all out on show on the last Saturday of winter, August 31, for the first ever Spring Soiree with Sparkles in the Ocean Room. Doors opened at 2pm and the weather was glorious, the ocean backdrop nothing short of dazzling.
We held the Annual Dinner on Friday, 31 May 2024. This event signifies the end of the season where we celebrate our Australian Champions and bestow our prestigious awards.
