Honouring Our 2024–25 Award Recipients at the Annual Presentation Dinner
Author: Kerrie Moore
On Saturday 10th May, Tea Gardens Hawks Nest Surf Life Saving Club held its Annual Presentation Dinner — a wonderful evening dedicated to recognising the incredible achievements of our members over the 2024–25 season.
With club members, family, friends, and supporters in attendance, the night was a true celebration of dedication, community spirit, and surf life saving excellence. We were honoured to welcome special guests Ms Kate Washington, Member for Port Stephens, and Ms Claire Pontin, Mayor of MidCoast Council, who helped present awards and celebrate the many contributions made by our club volunteers throughout the season.
From patrol excellence to behind-the-scenes efforts, every award reflected the commitment and teamwork that keeps our club strong and our beaches safe.
A huge congratulations to all of this year’s award recipients — your passion and dedication continue to inspire us all.
