No Lives Lost at Bondi Beach

Club Life Exhibition Opens in

Club Life Exhibition Opens in Just 10 Days!

The framed images are due back soon and we’re getting the Main Hall ready for a celebration of Bondi and Club Life.

Winning images – for Best Image and Best Image Taken with a Phone – will be hung in our clubhouse. The other finalists’ framed images will be for sale during the exhibition with funds raised going to lifesaving education and equipment. Great artwork for your walls and money for a great volunteer service!

Today we look at the start of the 2020/21 season through the lenses of the photographers who entered the competition.

In September 2021, 40 of the Club’s women met on the beach at sunrise for a photo shoot to celebrate 40 Years of Women in Surf Lifesaving (image by Mona La Cour Sørensen); in November Clubbies rose to meet the 60km Challenge for Mental Wellness clocking up more than 5,500km of training with friends for the Club (image by @waltkennard Instagram); and December was our annual Clubbie Classic (image by Big lens Little lens).

The Exhibition is on in the Club’s Main Hall on May 29-30 and June 5-6.

Come and join us to celebrate the Bondi community and two years in the life of the world’s oldest surf club, Bondi SBLSC.

Sponsored by Bondi Broker and supported by Waverley Council.

We will be celebrating Lea’s amazing life with a beautiful send off on Sunday 30th May, from 10am.

Her Icebergs family will ‘Face the Water’ from Icebergs pool deck, and her Bondi Surf Bathers’ Life Saving Club will do the same from the beach as we scatter her ashes in her beloved Bondi bay. 🌊🐬

We will raise a glass to Lea afterwards upstairs at a private family/friends function in the Icebergs Club. On behalf of Lea’s family – Please RSVP to Eve Wheeler ASAP if you would like to attend her celebratory drinks.

The Countdown is on to our Clu

The Countdown is on to our Club Life Exhibition!

The judging panel has chosen our 30 finalists who’ll be revealed at the opening night on May 28 and the images are currently being professionally printed in large format and framed.

The winners – for Best Image and Best Image Taken with a Phone – will be hung in our clubhouse. The other finalists’ framed images will be for sale during the exhibition with funds raised going to lifesaving education and equipment. Great artwork for your walls and money to a great volunteer service!

Today we look at early 2020 through the eyes of the photographers who entered the competition.

January 2020 saw smoke haze descend on Bondi, bright orange sunrises (image by Isabella D Photo) and the Club’s bushfire relief efforts take over our Main Hall; in February the storms rolled in (image by Alex Porebski) with surf carnivals called off due to the weather and March saw the closure of Bondi and other eastern beaches (image by Olivia Katz) and COVID lockdown.

The Exhibition is on in the Club’s Main Hall on May 29-30 and June 5-6.

So save the date and come and join us to celebrate the Bondi community and two years in the life of the world’s oldest surf club, Bondi SBLSC.
