Binningup lifesavers' awards

Brady Rosenberg and Cody Butt are presented with the Junior Surf Education Certificate at the wind-up.

Binningup Surf Life Saving Club members celebrated the end of a busy season with award presentations for juniors at the end of March and seniors on May 16.

Club president Julie Doyle said membership for the 2014/15 season stood at 218 including 98 juniors, aged 6 to 13, who hit the beach Sunday mornings from the end of October through to mid-March to learn vital surf awareness and first aid in a fun environment.

"Thanks to the volunteer parent members and lifesavers working with the juniors, 86 of them completed their respective Surf Education Awards," Mrs Doyle said.

"Together our lifesavers volunteered 1076 hours providing a beach patrol service, water safety for our junior activities and water safety at community events.

"We increased the hours of patrol on Sundays and public holidays this season to 4.30pm in January which is our busiest time at the beach in the area."

Members came back with some excellent results from surf sports competitions in Bunbury, Esperance, Perth and Queensland and others completed various awards including the Surf Rescue Certificate, Bronze Medallion, Senior First Aid, Advanced Resuscitation, Spinal Management and Rescue Boat Crew Awards.
