Scarborough Wombarra Surf Life Saving Club is ready for a big safe summer with a new president.
Doug Hamill, the club’s vice-president since 2020, has taken on the role of president ahead of the 2024/25 summer season.
Doug has been involved in surf life saving for more than 15 years and with the Scarborough Wombarra club – a small club known for its inclusive attitude – for four years.
“It’s something that I’m really passionate about,” he said. “The surf life saving movement as a whole for me is just a wonderful community.”
A Woonona resident for three decades, Doug moved to Scarborough in 2020 and joined his local surf club, soon becoming an active member and earning his SLSA Bronze Medallion at age 52. Doug has been patrolling alongside his oldest son, Ben, who is Club Captain and Doug’s patrol captain.
