The expert in sun protection for sensitive skin, LA ROCHE-POSAY, is visiting Bondi Beach this week with its new travelling House of Healthy Skin to deliver free skin checks in an effort to help make melanoma history.

The mobile, purpose-built space will host free one-on-one skin check screenings from LA ROCHE-POSAY’s charity partner SKIN CHECK CHAMPIONS and give away samples of Anthelios, the brand’s very high broad spectrum SPF50+ sunscreen.

Appointments filled up rapidly! Make sure to stop by and collect your Anthelios sunscreen samples from LA ROCHE-POSAY before 5th December.

Thank you La Roche-Posay this is such an important topic for our members and our Bondi Community.

Join Bondi Surf Club’s very own Poppy Staff Olsen live at Event Cinemas and hear all about her Olympic journey at the Q&A.

Growing up on Curlewis street, Poppy and her siblings were Bondi Nippers.

A child who just loved to skate from the age of eight, Poppy became the number one female bowl skater in Australia at 14 and went on to take out bronze at the XGames at 17 – the ultimate competition in the world of skateboarding.

The same year, skateboarding was announced as an official additional sport category at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Now faced with the opportunity to represent Australia on the world stage Poppy grapples with the transition from skater to athlete and the pressure of competition mounts in a way it has never done before.

A coming of age story told over 12 years, TALL POPPY documents Poppy’s journey intimately as she navigates the uncomfortable idea of what it means to be a competitive athlete, the complexities of a relationship with a mum turned manager and finding her place in a male-dominated industry.

DATE: Sunday 5 December
TIME: 4:30pm
LOCATION: Bondi Junction

Meet our Club Member Elle Kuhta!

She is presently running from Byron Bay to Bondi Beach raising funds for Surf Lifesaving Australia. She is running around 35km EVERY day on her 900km journey!

Originally from Detroit, Michigan USA, Elle has been in Australia for 5 years. ‘The idea for the run started as I began to clock miles during lockdown in 2020. I wanted to get outside and challenge my mind and body. Seeing all the beaches along the way is a great way to spread the word about SLSA!’

Right now it is incredibly challenging with all this rain. So if you have a few dollars to sponsor her incredible effort, please click the link below. She is definitely earning it!

Elle, we will look forward to welcoming you back at the club on Sunday 5th Dec!

Bondi Surf Club is honoured to celebrate Janet Michie and Charles Cotton as they receive their National Medal for 15 years of service.

The National Medal is awarded to individuals on behalf of the Governor-General of Australia, His Excellency General the Honourable David Hurley AC DSC (Retd).

Established in 1975 as a military recognition award, the National Medal has since branched out into government and voluntary organisations and is now Australia’s most awarded civil medal.

The National Medal is available to Surf Life Saving Australia volunteers who are eligible with a minimum of 30 hours each season, who have completed a minimum period of 15 seasons, from 18th September 1986.

Ron spent the carnival out on the Judge boat out the back, Kenny was in the junior crew surf boat, and Terry and his brother Jim were selling programs like the one below.

The link below is a Youtube video of the Royal Report showcasing the visit made in 1954 –
