Port
Corporation sponsors Port Kembla SLSC
Phil McGavin from the Port Kembla Port Corporation presented
President Bill Seay with a new $20,000 Surf Boat. It was an
impressive presentation with a 10 story wharf crane lifting
a shipping container up to reveal the new boat. Phil then
surprised everyone by announcing that if Port Kembla wins
a medal of any colour at a State Championship the Port Corporation
will buy them a second new surf boat.
After
the presentation to the club the boat was named after a member
Kevin "Cags" Carriage and christened with champagne
by Kevin's widow Almma. The Rev. Tudno Rees from the Port
Kembla mission to seafarers gave a short address and prayed
a blessing over the boat and all those who rowed the vessel.

Park beach but the club has helped our Branch immensely and
other clubs as far away as Cottesloe in W.A.
