Ken Sutherland, the first captain of the Port Fairy Surf Club, was in town last Friday to accept his life membership at the club's annual presentation night.
A Team of rowers from Port Fairy recently came tantalisingly cose to claiming an Australian title.
The Shearwaters rowers Howard Sharp, Shaun Murrihy, Scott Hetherington, Dean Dwyer and sweep Paul Buchanan represented the Port Fairy Lifesaving Club in the masters class at the Australian Surf Life Saving Championships in Queensland.
Nippers may have finished but the club is still active with the boat crews and other personnel competing in the Senior State Championships at Lorne over the Folkie long weekend and volunteer patrols continuing at East Beach right up until Easter Monday.
WELCOME TO THE PORT FAIRY SURF LIFESAVING CLUB
The Club, at Eastern beach, boasts a modern building constructed in 2000. It has splendid views of the patrolled beach and coastline, and contains state-of-the-art surf life saving equipment.
Club activities currently include regular beach patrols over the summer season, a "Nipper" programme which involves teaching of surf life saving awareness and safety to children, training for surf life saving awards, and participation in Victoria's surf life saving carnivals. The Club also runs Nipper carnivals in January, and the 1.2 km. Moyneyana ocean swim on the first Sunday after New Year's Day. As part of the New Year's Day celebration program the Club conducts the Moyne Duck Derby on the Moyne River.
