1931 – Wrestling

We may be a life saving club, but over the years we have had plenty of interesting sports, from rugby and squash teams to pillow fighting champions.  Recently we received a note from the daughter of a past member, John Bellden.

His daughter said

“here is a scan of the certificate.  My father is the wrestler who has his arm around the other wrestler’s neck, in the photo which has been stuck on the certificate (obviously a newspaper cutting of the event). I have also attached a scan of a photo of my father.  I apologise that I do not have a photo of my father in his surf lifesaving bathers.  However, I hope that you will be happy with the photo of Dad in his Australian Army uniform in 1942, instead. “
