On Saturday, 2 June, I attended the Seacliff Surf Life Saving Club presentation night, to mark the end of another successful season. There was plenty to celebrate, with the club having grown to over 700 members, making them one of the biggest in South Australia. Seacliff sent more competitors than any other club to the 2018 surf lifesaving nationals held in Perth, and, to top things off, young member Lily Drummond won $2,000 for the club in the DHL 'Flag Your Beach' competition for her video about Seacliff. Lily is studying at Flinders University and has a very bright future. These were just some of the achievements we heard about on the night, and I want to congratulate the organising committee on a great event—particularly the secret garden theme. The room and the outfits looked amazing!

I would particularly like to recognise club treasurer Gareth Gray, who is stepping down. After six years of dedicated service, club president, Andrew Chandler, is also stepping down. I want to thank Andrew and his wife Kate for being so welcoming to me as the new member for Boothby. Andrew was wonderful to work with as I helped to secure funding for solar panels for the club to cut their power bills. I can't wait to open the new surf lifesaving tower with him, which, thanks to a $150,000 Turnbull government grant, will be delivered soon. Congratulations to Andrew and the Seacliff Surf Life Saving Club on a great season. Thank you for all you do for our community.
