Biography
The North Beach Surf Bathing and Life Saving Club began as a branch of the New Brighton Surf Life comprising Messrs. A.R. Blank (Captain), T.H. Harker, N.R. Johansen, C. Rundle, B. McKenna, F. Baxter, R. Thomson, E.A.M. Leaver, F. Whatman, W.A. Smith, and F. Suter. The New Brighton Club records show that a letter was sent to Mr A.R. Blank, the elected club Captain on the 19th January 1916, agreeing to a request for the loan of a reel so that on the following Sunday morning a meeting of the North Beach Club could be held at Thompson Park followed by a demonstration. This exhibition was most successful and some 28 new members were enrolled. The Centenary of the club was celebrated on the 21 – 23 October, 2016
