John
Oliver honoured at Coledale 8/12/02
Right
up until the boat was named John Oliver had no idea the craft
was to be named after himself. Annonymous donors had requested
that the craft be named after someone they dearly love and
respect for the incredible service put in at Coledale SLSC.
Picture shows John Oliver with 2 proud sons.
John's
career in Surf Life Saving began when he joined the Coledale
club as a cadet in 1949. After gaining his bronze medallion
his thoughts turned to rowing surfboats. He rowed in the senior
A crew from 1954 to 1959 with the highlight of his career
as a rower grabbing third place at the Australian titles in
Perth in 1959. He swept surf boats for 21 years, from 1959-1980.
A highlight was winning a gold medal at the Australian titles
at Ocean Grove in Victoria in 1969-70. At the same titles
the Coledale boat crew won the nationwide contested "courage
award" for their win in huge seas at Ocean Grove.
The
"John Oliver" is the 10th new surf boat acquired
by Coledale in their 90 year history.
