Scarborough Wombarra Surf Life Saving Club have started 2022 in style, christening their brand new side-by-side vehicle by putting it to good use over a busy summer period. The SBSV tows the unit’s inflatable rubber boat and all other essential equipment on and off the beach on patrol days and nipper days.
The club has been going from strength to strength in not only increasing its active patrolling member base and exposure in the community, but to also ensure the hard-working members have the right tools and equipment to make the job as trouble-free as possible.
In taking delivery of the new unit, it will save committee members from having to work hard raising money through business support and fundraising events. The SBSV purchase couldn’t have been achieved without the support of the IMB Community Foundation. The club’s previous SBSV was more than five-years-old and dutifully maintained by club members, but was starting to age.
“The IMB foundation are an amazing institution, the amount of money they put back into the community is to be commended. They support a wide range of hard-working charities and volunteer groups that help make so many lives better, and we are eternally grateful for the support they have given our club this season,” club president Ant Ritter said.
